It is estimated that CTO is present in up to 40% of patients with symptomatic PAD. Initial guidewire passage required to perform successful intervention on the atherosclerotic segment becomes more difficult with the occurrence of CTO.

Critical limb ischemia is present in only about 1% to 2% of all patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), but it is the most severe form of PAD and is responsible for 185,000 amputations in the United States each year.
