Abstract: Accurate assessment of coronary total occlusion (CTO) lesion is necessary to build-up a strategy of successful revascularization. Evaluation of multi-slice computed tomography- coronary angiography (MSCT-CA) significance in patients with CTO lesion. Forty patients with a native coronary CTO were included in the present study. Twenty patients (group I) undergo evaluation of the CTO segment with MSCT-CA with assessment of occlusion length, amount of calcification, proximal and distal cap, vessel course, with calculation of (KCCT, CT RECTOR and JCTO scores). Group(II) include 20 patients with CTO segment assessment through invasive coronary angiography......
