Viable Myocardium Detected by the Combination of Hybrid PET/MR and SPECT Imaging for the Prediction of the Efficacy of PCI in Patients With Chronic Total Occlusion.
CTO intervention is controversial, and viable myocardium is critical to the improvement of cardiac function and prognosis of patients. However, it remains uncertain whether viable myocardium detected by Hybrid PET/MR and SPECT Imaging improves the PCI efficacy in Patients With CTO. In this investigator-initiated, prospective, single-center, observational trial, patients meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria would be assigned to the successful group or the unsuccessful group based on the success of PCI, both undergoing pre-operative and 6-month follow-up Hybrid PET/MR and SPECT imaging. The improvement of left ventricular (LV) recovery after 6 months will be observed.
