Objective To systematically review the angiographic predictors of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, WanFang Data, and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect observational studies on the angiographic predictors of CTO-PCI from inception to December 18, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results A total of 36 studies were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the angiographic predictors of CTO-PCI included calcification (OR=1.92, 95%CI 1.49 to 2.47, P<0.01), occlusion length≥20mm (OR=1.80, 95%CI 1.26 to 2.57, P<0.01), bending>45° (OR=2.19, 95%CI 1.56 to 3.08, P<0.01), blunt stump (OR=1.53, 95%CI 1.08 to 2.16, P<0.01), ostial lesions (OR=2.27, 95%CI 1.34 to 3.85, P<0.01), proximal cap ambiguity (OR=2.27, 95%CI 1.40 to 3.68, P<0.01), side branch at proximal cap (OR=1.65, 95%CI 1.27 to 2.16, P<0.01), and J-CTO score≥3 (OR=2.53, 95%CI 1.53 to 4.16, P<0.01). Conclusion Current evidence indicates that calcification, occlusion length ≥20mm, bending>45°, blunt stump, ostial lesions, proximal cap ambiguity, side branch at proximal cap, and J-CTO score≥3 are the angiographic predictors of CTO-PCI. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
