Abstract

We report a case of successful percutaneous revascularization of a chronic total occlusion using the LuMend Frontrunner catheter. The case was complicated by a long coronary artery dissection, with inability to access the true lumen. With favorable healing at 7 weeks, the true lumen was accessible which led to procedural success.
