German Epicardial Collateral CTO Registry (EPIC)

August 29, 2020 updated by: Michael Behnes, Universitätsmedizin Mannheim

German Multicentre Registry to Evaluate the Technical Feasibilty of Epicardial Collateral Connections in CTO PCI

The EPIC registry is an observational multicentre registry evaluating the technical feasibility of retrograde CTO-PCI using epicardial collateral connections. It will evaluate the frequency, effectiveness, safety and outcomes of patients who underwent CTO-PCI using this approach. The EPIC registry retrieves data from CTO centres across Germany.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The EPIC registry is the first German-wide observational multicentre registry evaluating the technical feasibility, clinical success and safety of retrograde CTO-PCI using epicardial collateral connections. The EPIC registry retrieves data from CTO centres across Germany. All patients will be followed-up to 30 days after inclusion.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of technically successful retrograde CTO-PCI using epicaridal collaterals
Time Frame: 30 days
defined as the rate of successful CTO-PCI with reestablished antegrade coronary flow (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow III) with less than residual stenosis of 50%.
30 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of clinically successful retrograde CTO-PCI using epicaridal collaterals
Time Frame: 30 days
Clinical success is defined as the rate of successful CTO-PCI by technical success without MACCE and without major periprocedural complications, including pericardial tamponade and contrast induced dialysis.
30 days
Rate of failed retrograde CTO-PCI using epicaridal collaterals
Time Frame: 30 days
is defined as the rate of CTO-PCI without technical success defined as residual stenosis >50% (by visual estimation) and TIMI flow grade <3 after CTO-PCI.
30 days
