Background: Contemporary chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) incorporates wire escalation and dissection/re-entry recanalisation strategies. Aims: The purpose of the study was to investigate changes in collateral function after CTO PCI and to identify whether the mode of successful recanalisation influences collateral function regression. Methods: Patients scheduled for elective CTO PCI with evidence of viability in the CTO territory by noninvasive imaging were included in this study. After successful CTO PCI, the aortic pressure (Pa) and distal coronary artery wedge pressure (Pw) during balloon occlusion were measured, both in a resting state and during infusion of intravenous adenosine, allowing the calculation of the pressure-derived collateral pressure index at rest and hyperaemia (CPIrest and the collateral fractional flow reserve [FFRcoll], respectively). Measurements were repeated 3 months later during angiographic follow-up. Results: Eighty-one patients had physiological measurements at baseline and follow-up. In the final cohort the mean age was 64 years and 82% were male. The mean maximal stent diameter and total stent length were 3.2±0.5 mm and 68±31 mm, respectively. Successful strategies were antegrade wiring (64.2%), antegrade dissection re-entry (8.6%), and retrograde dissection re-entry (27.1%). Between the index procedure and follow-up, wedge pressure decreased from 34±11 mmHg to 21±8.5 mmHg (p<0.01), respectively. FFRcoll changed from 0.34±0.11 to 0.19±0.09 (p<0.01) at follow-up and CPIrest from 0.40±0.14 to 0.17±0.09 (p<0.01). Absolute maximum collateral flow decreased from 55±32 ml/min directly after PCI to 38±24 ml/min (p<0.01). There was no relation between the recanalisation technique and changes in FFRcoll. Conclusions: There was a significant reduction in collateral flow over time, independent of the recanalisation technique.
