Successful collateral channel (CC) crossing is essential for the success of retrograde chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Based on the Japanese CTO PCI expert registry, the J-Channel score was developed to predict CC crossing. We examined the performance of the J-Channel score in patients who underwent retrograde CTO-PCI at 31 centers between 2013-2023 as part of the Prospective Global Registry for the Study of CTO Intervention (PROGRESS-CTO). We observed an association between successful CC crossing and the J-Channel score, its predictive efficacy was modest for both wire and microcatheter crossing.
