Abstract
The effects of the reopening of a coronary total occlusion (CoTO) on microvascular perfusion in subacute or chronic coronary syndromes are actually unclear. We aimed at evaluating the microvascular perfusion pattern by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE), in addition to contractile function, before and after CoTO reopening.
