Compared to patients with de novo CTOs, those with CTO due to ISR had higher frequency of diabetes (56.1% vs. 39.6%, <italic>P</italic> = 0.02) and less calcification (5.3% vs. 16.2%, <italic>P</italic> <0.001), but longer occlusion length [38 (29–55) vs. 30 (20–51), <italic>P</italic> = 0.04]. Technical success in the ISR and de novo group was 89.4% and 92.5% (<italic>P</italic> = 0.43), respectively; procedural success was 86.0% and 90.3% (<italic>P</italic> = 0.31), respectively; and the incidence of major adverse cardiac events was 3.5% and 2.2% (<italic>P</italic> = 0.63), respectively.</p> </sec> <sec id="ccd25465-sec-0004" sec-type="section"> <title>Conclusions</title> <p>Use of the "hybrid" approach to CTO PCI was associated with similarly high procedural success and similarly low major complication rates in patients with de novo and ISR CTOs. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.</p> </sec> </abstract>
