Figures & data
Figure 1. Study definitions. The cohort consisted of 608 patients presenting with ≥1 CTO (CTO definitions) and underwent CTO PCI at Aarhus University Hospital 2009–2019 (index procedure). It was stratified due to the presence of remaining CTO(s) after index procedure (green and red boxes).

Figure 3. Main long-term outcome: Kaplan Meier estimates illustrating differences in (A) all-cause mortality and (B) MACCE in patients with all CTOs opened (green) versus with remaining CTOs post index procedure (red). Landmark analyses illustrates difference in (C) all-cause mortality and (D) MACCE between the groups from Day 30 until after 8 years of follow-up. Adjusted HRs are shown on each chart.
