Pattern of vascular remodeling of distal reference segment after recanalization of chronic total occlusion, long-term angiographic follow-up
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is probably caused by thrombus and lipid-rich cholesterol esters that are replaced over time by collagen and calcium deposition. Experimental models showed endothelial cell necrosis in response to vessel ligation, whereas more recent models suggest that the endothelium...
