AbstractBy analyzing the relevant literature, we can accurately grasp the current status of diagnosis and treatment of chronic total occlusion of coronary artery, and clarify the development trend, research frontiers and hotspots of this disease. A literature search with "chronic total occlusion" as the title was performed in the Web of Science database. The title, author, abstract, keywords, institution, publication, country, reference, and other endnotes of the selected literature were exported in the form of text. The author, country, institution, and keywords of the literature were analyzed through Citespace and VOSviewer. The United States has the highest proportion of articles. The institution with the largest number of publications in this field is the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation. Brilakis Emmanouil S is the author with the most published articles. The journal system with the largest number of articles in this field is Cardiac Cardiovascular Systems. The keywords with the highest frequency are "chronic total occlusion," "percutaneous coronary intervention," "recanalization," and "revascularization." The burst detection analysis of hot keywords shows that "algorithm," "management," and "mortality" are the research hotspots in this field in recent years. At present, the research on this disease mainly focuses on the opening of occluded coronary arteries through various treatment methods. In the near future and the next few years, the research hotspots may be the scoring system algorithms for the treatment of chronic total occlusion of coronary artery and the management strategies for patients.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
