Abstract
Currently, international guidelines recommend the evaluation of ischemic symptoms, as well as the extent of ischemia and the presence of viability, prior to referring patients with stable coronary artery disease, including chronic total occlusion (CTO), for revascularization. A few randomized trials and numerous observational studies have tried to determine the value of ischemia-driven and viability-driven revascularization, but demonstrated contradicting findings. The present review will focus on the current knowledge regarding ischemia and viability testing in patients with a CTO. The evidence and rationale to assess ischemia and viability, next to the clinical workup for CTO revascularization in clinical practice, will be discussed. In addition, an overview of available noninvasive imaging modalities to assess the presence and extent of ischemia and viability will be provided.
