Evidence from invasive follow-up in the absence of acute coronary syndrome (routine surveillance coronary angiography) is scarce. (2) Methods: In a monocentric-retrospective analysis, we obtained baseline as well as periprocedural data of patients undergoing routine invasive follow-up. We defined target vessel failure (TVF) as a combined primary endpoint, consisting of re-occlusion, restenosis, and target vessel revascularization (TVR). (3) Results: We included 93 consecutive patients (15.1% female) from October 2013 to May 2018. After a follow-up period of 206 \u00b1 129 days (median 185 (IQR 127\u2013237)), re-occlusion had occurred in 7.5%, restenosis in 11.8%, and TVR in 5.4%; the cumulative incidence of TVF was 15.1%. Reduced TIMI-flow immediately after recanalization (OR for TVR: 11.0 (95% CI: 2.7\u201345.5), p = 0.001) as well as female gender (OR for TVR: 11.0 (95% CI: 2.1\u201358.5), p = 0.005) were found to be predictive for pathological angiographic findings at follow-up. Furthermore, higher blood values of high-sensitive troponin after successful revascularization were associated with all endpoints. Interestingly, neither the J-CTO score nor the presence of symptoms at the follow-up visit could be correlated to adverse angiographic results. (4) Conclusions: In this medium-sized cohort of patients with surveillance coronary angiography, we were able to identify reduced TIMI flow and female gender as the strongest predictors for future TVF.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm9010178","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,10]],"date-time":"2020-01-10T04:06:51Z","timestamp":1578629211000},"page":"178","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Predictors for Target Vessel Failure after Recanalization of Chronic Total Occlusions in Patients Undergoing Surveillance Coronary Angiography"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9935-8293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Geyer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Cardiology, Cardiology I, University Medical Center Mainz of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johannes","family":"Wild","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Cardiology, Cardiology I, University Medical Center Mainz of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"},{"name":"Center for Thrombosis and Hemostasis, University Medical Center Mainz of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Langenbeckstr 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marc","family":"Hirschmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Cardiology, Cardiology I, University Medical Center Mainz of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zisis","family":"Dimitriadis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Cardiology, Cardiology I, University Medical Center Mainz of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5503-4150","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"M\u00fcnzel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Cardiology, Cardiology I, University Medical Center Mainz of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"},{"name":"German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK), Partner Site Rhine Main, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2917-6707","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tommaso","family":"Gori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Cardiology, Cardiology I, University Medical Center Mainz of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"},{"name":"German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK), Partner Site Rhine Main, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5397-2781","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philip","family":"Wenzel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Cardiology, Cardiology I, University Medical Center Mainz of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"},{"name":"Center for Thrombosis and Hemostasis, University Medical Center Mainz of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Langenbeckstr 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"},{"name":"German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK), Partner Site Rhine Main, Langenbeckstr. 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1281","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2014.06.1181","article-title":"Revascularization of Chronic Total Occlusions","volume":"64","author":"Strauss","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
