The success rate of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in coronary Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) has improved with technical and technological progress, however, the clinical benefit of CTO PCI is still controversial. In this article, we summarize the clinical studies with long term follow up data investigating the effect of CTO PCI in noninfarct-related artery after acute myocardial infarction.
