Guide Extension Catheter-Facilitated Reverse Controlled Antegrade and Retrograde Tracking for Retrograde Recanalization of Chronic Total Occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In recent years, the retrograde approach has become a common practice in the treatment of chronic total occlusion (CTO) of coronary ostium which is arising abnormally and has an ambiguous proximal cap. In this case report, we report a case of retrograde percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) done successfully on an abnormally originating artery which was guideliner assisted. Case Presentation.
