Intravascular ultrasound-guided true lumen re-entry for successful recanalization of chronic total occlusions

J Invasive Cardiol. 2010 Dec;22(12):608-10.

Abstract

We report a strategy of intravascular ultrasound-guided selection of the true lumen entry site from the subintimal space for predictable and successful re-entry, critical to successful recanalization of coronary chronic total occlusions.
