Authors' conclusion

We developed an ML model with 14 features and high predictive capacity for successful primary AW in chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention.

Study context

Population
Primary antegrade wiring cases in CTO PCI, PROGRESS CTO registry, 2012–2023
Participants
12,136 primary antegrade wiring (AW) cases
Outcome
Successful CTO crossing with primary antegrade wiring

Performance

As reported in the abstract

Prediction of successful primary AW crossing

Primary AW successful

6,965 cases (57.4%)

Extreme gradient boosting best of 5 machine learning (ML) models, average AUC

0.775 (± 0.010)

After hyperparameter tuning, average AUC, training set

0.782

After hyperparameter tuning, average AUC, testing set

0.780

Further findings

Feature importance (SHAP)

Occlusion length had the most significant impact, followed by blunt/no stump, interventional collaterals, vessel diameter and proximal cap ambiguity
Aorto-ostial lesion location had the least impact
