Chronic total occlusion (CTO) recanalization is a complex and technically challenging procedure. The J-CTO score has been proposed to stratify case complexity and procedural success rates. However, the score has never been tested outside the setting of the original study. Moreover, its predictive value when using a hybrid antegrade or retrograde approach is unknown. We investigated the performance of the J-CTO score for predicting procedure complexity and success in an independent contemporary cohort.
