Summary:Meeting abstracts - A single PDF containing all abstracts in this supplement is available at http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/files/pdf/1532-429X-13-S1-full.pdf.EMPTY Introduction The perceived clinical benefits of undertaking revascularisation to coronary artery chronic total occlusions (CTO) relate to improvements in angina symptoms and prognosis1,2. Graph of myocardial blood flow in the remote (normal) regions versus reperfused regions (the Black lines represent the 4 subjects that were not revascularised). [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Conclusion Stress perfusion CMR demonstrates significant improvements in hyperaemic MBF in patients with successful revascularisation of CTO.
