The retrograde recanalization of left circumflex artery chronic total occlusion with the use of the left radial approach

Abstract

The radial approach minimizes the risk of local bleeding complication. The use of this approach is possible even in complex coronary intervention.

A case report demonstrates successful retrograde recanalization of chronic total occlusion using the radial approach.
