In conclusion, in STEMI-patients, CTO PCI is associated with a small reduction of chest-pain during exercise and tended to be associated with an increase of maximum SBP. The observation that successful CTO PCI was associated with more VE during exercise, compared with failed/no-CTO PCI needs further exploration.
