The recanalization technique (EP vs. IP) was according to the operator's discretion based on the CTO anatomical characteristics. The study aimed to compare the impact of the EP versus IP recanalization technique on the vascular healing assessed by OCT\u2010derived NIHS (evaluating the presence of uncovered and\/or malapposed stent struts and intraluminal filling defects), 6 months after the index procedure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean age was 58\u2009\u00b1\u20098 years, and 35 (70%) were males. EP and IP techniques were used in 15 and 36 of the recanalized CTOs, respectively. At 6 months, clinical and angiographic follow\u2010ups were completed for all patients, while interpretable OCT imaging was available for 39 patients (77%). The mean NIHS for all patients was 14.3\u2009\u00b1\u20099.7. The NIHS was comparable between EP and IP techniques (18\u2009\u00b1\u20097.4 vs. 14.1\u2009\u00b1\u20098.4;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.51).
