NCT ID NCT06917378
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will observe 5,000 adults in Taiwan who have a chronic total occlusion (CTO) โ a complete, long-term blockage in a heart artery. Researchers will track how often procedures to open these blockages succeed and what complications occur. The goal is to learn which patient and artery features lead to better outcomes, without testing any new treatment.
