Chronic total occlusions-Is true lumen wire passage preferred to subintimal dissection re-entry?

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2019 May 1;93(6):1057-1058. doi: 10.1002/ccd.28312.

Abstract

True lumen crossing is superior to subintimal crossing. Subintimal versus true lumen crossing may only be apparent if IVUS is performed. Newer techniques for true lumen crossing need to be developed.
