Abstract excerpt
AIM: Genetic polymorphisms in genes coding for cytokines may predispose patients to coronary artery disease and chronic total occlusion (CTO) of coronary arteries.

METHODS: We reviewed coronary angiograms and evaluated presence of CTOs in 684 consecutive patients with no history of revascularization. The...
