The 11-Year Prognostic Impact of Chronic Total Occlusion in the Noninfarct-Related Coronary Artery on Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

Table 3

Primary outcomes for CTO group and no-CTO group.

MACCE	CTO group (N = 629	No-CTO group (N = 1653)	Total (N = 2282)	value
Death from cardiovascular causes	43 (6.8%)	82 (5.0%)	125 (5.5%)	0.0778
Recurrent AMI	45 (7.2%)	112 (6.8%)	157 (6.9%)	0.7461
Stroke	18 (2.9%)	30 (1.8%)	48 (2.1%)	0.1188
TLR	127 (20.2%)	270 (16.3%)	397 (17.4%)	0.0292
Total MACCE	191 (30.4%)	402 (24.3%)	593 (26.0%)	0.003468

In Table 3, we showed that CTO group had significantly increased primary endpoint rates compared to the group without CTO.
