Although this preliminary report found a significant decrease in MMP-9, NT-pro-BNP, and sST2 levels in CTO patients who had undergone PCI compared to those without PCI, as well as improved angina severity in these patients, this study still has limitations. The number of samples was so small that similar studies with larger sample sizes or multicenter investigations are required to deliver more trustworthy and useful results. Nevertheless, we encourage this study as a preliminary baseline for further studies in the future.
