We aimed to analyse the association between the presence of ischemia and hibernating myocardium, evaluated by cardiac [13 N]NH3/2-[18 F]FDG PET-CT, and the angiographic characterization of the collateral circulation. Prospective study including patients with a CTO who underwent a [13 N]NH3 and, when deemed necessary, 2-[18 F]FDG PET-CT. Well developed (WD) collaterals were defined as a concomitant angiographic Rentrop grade 3 and Werner collateral connection score 2 or 3, whereas the remaining as poorly developed (PD). 2% thresholds used to identify prognostic benefit of revascularization were applied: ischemia > 10% and hibernating myocardium > 7%. Fifty-nine patients (age 62.9±9.1 years, 58 male) were recruited, WD collaterals were present in 28 (47.5%). No significant differences were found in ischemia (WD 6.4±4.3 vs. PD 7.0±4.1, p = 0.64) and hibernation (WD 1.8±1.9 vs. PD 3.1±3.3, p = 0.18) scores. Most CTO territories demonstrated ischemia, but only 19 (46.3%) were associated with an area > 10% (WD 47.6% vs. PD 45.0%, p = 0.58). Scared non-viable myocardium was limited to 9 (15.3%) patients and was not associated with PD collaterals. Hibernating myocardium was frequent (54.2%), but just 6 (10.2%) CTO patients had an area of > 7% (WD 3.6% vs. PD 16.1%, p = 0.20). Collateral assessment by angiography has a poor association with the ischemic burden and hibernation state of CTO territories. Myocardial viability was present even in most CTO with angiographic PD collaterals. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/113692 | ISSN: | 1875-8312 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10554-022-02772-z | Rights: | openAccess |
