"Single Arm-Double Access" for CTO Intervention

J Invasive Cardiol. 2019 Jan;31(1):E7.

Abstract

To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a dual-access approach for CTO intervention using transradial and ipsilateral transulnar access. Although retrograde CTO intervention is a challenging procedure, a single arm-double access approach seems to be a feasible alternative that may be useful in patients with limited access-site availability.

Keywords: access site; chronic total occlusion; right coronary artery.
