*The '''TIME study''' (2004) assessed the long-term survival and quality of life in 276 elderly patients with [[Canadian cardiovascular society classification of angina pectoris|CCS]] class II or greater angina receiving atleast two anti-anginal medication at baseline. The study demonstrated similar long-term survival benefits observed in both the groups; however, freedom from major cardiovascular events remained higher in invasive therapy group versus the medical therapy group ''(39% versus 20%, p=less than 0.0001)''.

*The '''GISSOC trial''' (2003) studied the benefit of stent implantation over balloon PTCA for the treatment of chronic total coronary occlusions in six-year clinical follow-up patients. The study demonstrated a significant reduction in the major adverse cardiovascular events observed in the stent group during a 6-year follow-up ''(76.1% in the stent group versus 60.4% in the PTCA group; p=0.055)'' and attributed this reduction secondary to the target lesion revascularization free-survival rate ''(85.1% in the stent group versus 65.5% in the PTCA group; p=0.0165)''. However, in most cases, [[restenosis]] of the study occlusion was evident at nine-month angiography. Thus, the study concluded stent implantation was superior to balloon PTCA in chronic total occlusions that can be recanalized percutaneously and is a valuable long-term therapeutic option; however, at nine-month follow-up both the stent and PTCA results appear to remain stable.<ref name="pmid12742287">Rubartelli P, Verna E, Niccoli L, Giachero C, Zimarino M, Bernardi G et al.

*In the '''PACTO study''' (2004), 48 consecutive patients received  [[paclitaxel|paclitaxel-eluting stent]] implantation after successful recanalization of a chronic total occlusion, researchers assessed the efficacy of drug-eluting stent in comparison to bare metal stent for the treatment of chronic total coronary occlusions. At 1-year follow-up, the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events was significantly reduced in the [[paclitaxel]] group ''(12.5% in the Taxus group and 47.9% in the BMS group; p=less than 0.001)'' which was secondary to reduced need for repeat revascularization.

Asymptomatic Ischemia or CCS Class I or II Angina (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class III
"1. PCI is not recommended in patients with asymptomatic ischemia or CCS class I or II angina who do not meet the criteria as listed under the class II recommendations or who have 1 or more of the following:
a. Only a small area of viable myocardium at risk. (Level of Evidence: C)
b. No objective evidence of ischemia. (Level of Evidence: C)
c. Lesions that have a low likelihood of successful dilatation. (Level of Evidence: C)
d. Mild symptoms that are unlikely to be due to myocardial ischemia. (Level of Evidence: C)
e. Factors associated with increased risk of morbidity or mortality. (Level of Evidence: C)
f. Left main disease and eligibility for CABG. (Level of Evidence: C)
g. Insignificant disease (less than 50% coronary stenosis). (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIa

"1. PCI is reasonable in patients with asymptomatic ischemia or CCS class I or II angina and with 1 or more significant lesions in 1 or 2 coronary arteries suitable for PCI with a high likelihood of success and a low risk of morbidity and mortality. The vessels to be dilated must subtend a moderate to large area of viable myocardium or be associated with a moderate to severe degree of ischemia on noninvasive testing. (Level of Evidence: B)"

"2. PCI is reasonable for patients with asymptomatic ischemia or CCS class I or II angina, and recurrent stenosis after PCI with a large area of viable myocardium or high-risk criteria on noninvasive testing. (Level of Evidence: C)"

"3. Use of PCI is reasonable in patients with asymptomatic ischemia or CCS class I or II angina with significant left main CAD (greater than 50% diameterstenosis) who are candidates for revascularization but are not eligible for CABG. (Level of Evidence: B)"

Class IIb

"1. The effectiveness of PCI for patients with asymptomatic ischemia or CCS class I or II angina who have 2- or 3-vessel disease with significantproximal LAD CAD who are otherwise eligible for CABGwith 1 arterial conduit and who have treated diabetes or abnormal LV function is not well established. (Level of Evidence: B)"

"2. PCI might be considered for patients with asymptomatic ischemia or CCS class I or II angina with non-proximal LAD CAD that subtends a moderate area of viable myocardium and demonstrates ischemia on noninvasive testing. (Level of Evidence: C)"

CCS Class III Angina (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class III

"1. PCI is not recommended for patients with CCS class III angina with single-vessel or multivessel CAD, no evidence of myocardial injury or ischemia on objective testing, and no trial of medical therapy, or who have 1 of the following:

a. Only a small area of myocardium at risk. (Level of Evidence: C)
b. All lesions or the culprit lesion to be dilated with morphology that conveys a low likelihood of success. (Level of Evidence: C)
c. A high risk of procedure-related morbidity or mortality. (Level of Evidence: C)
d. Insignificant disease (less than 50% coronary stenosis). (Level of Evidence: C)
e. Significant left main CAD and candidacy for CABG. (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIa

"1. It is reasonable that PCI be performed in patients with CCS class III angina and single-vessel or multi-vessel CAD who are undergoing medical therapy and who have 1 or more significant lesions in 1 or more coronary arteries suitable for PCI with a high likelihood of success and low risk of morbidity or mortality. (Level of Evidence: B)"

"2. It is reasonable that PCI be performed in patients with CCS class III angina with single-vessel or multi-vessel CAD who are undergoing medical therapy with focal saphenous vein graft lesions or multiple stenoses who are poor candidates for reoperative surgery. (Level of Evidence: C)"

"3. Use of PCI is reasonable in patients with CCS class III angina with significant left main CAD(greater than 50% diameter stenosis) who are candidates for revascularization but are not eligible for CABG. (Level of Evidence: B)"

Class IIb

"1. PCI may be considered in patients with CCS class III angina with single-vessel or multivessel CAD who are undergoing medical therapy and who have 1 or more lesions to be dilated with a reduced likelihood of success. (Level of Evidence: B)"

"2. PCI may be considered in patients with CCS class III angina and no evidence of ischemia on noninvasive testing or who are undergoing medical therapy and have 2- or 3-vessel CAD with significant proximal LAD CAD and treated diabetes or abnormal LV function. (Level of Evidence: B)"
