- Abstract
<bold>Objectives: </bold>To investigate morphological characteristics used to predict recanalisation strategies in long-segment (>10 cm) femoral chronic total occlusion (LSF-CTO) angioplasty.<bold>Methods: </bold>We retrospectively evaluated a range of morphological CTA and DSA features in patients who underwent recanalisation of LSF-CTO. The stage of CTO was classified into early (3-12 months) and late (>12 months) according to estimated duration. Characteristics including stump morphology, lesion length and calcification, proximal side branches, collaterals circulation, runoff vessels and concomitant arterial occlusion were used as predictors, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify variables associated with late-stage CTO and retrograde technique.<bold>Results: </bold>A total of 119 patients with 137 CTOs in 137 limbs were enrolled. Overall, successful recanalisation was achieved in 122 CTOs (89.1%). Flush occlusion [odds ratio (OR) 2.958; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.172-7.465; p = 0.022], large collateral (OR 2.778; 95% CI 1.201-6.427; p = 0.017) and TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus II class D (TASC D) lesion (OR 1.743; 95% CI 1.019-2.981; p = 0.042) were predictors for late-stage CTO. Flush occlusion (OR 75.278; 95% CI 10.664-531.384; p < 0.001) and large collateral (OR 23.213; 95% CI 3.236-166.523; p = 0.002) were associated with high likelihood for retrograde approach.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Flush occlusion and large collateral were associated with a CTO at late-stage which may require retrograde recanalisation.<bold>Key Points: </bold>• CTO morphological characteristics help estimate lesion duration and optimise recanalisation strategies. • Flush occlusion and large collateral is associated with late-stage CTO and retrograde recanalisation. • Application of anterograde and retrograde recanalisation for long-segment femoral CTO is effective.
