The treatment of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) continues to solicit technical innovations. As successprimarily depends on crossing the lesion with a wire, all aspects regarding tip shape retention, torque precision, andpenetration ability of the guide-wire have greatly influenced new techniques and strategies. The world ofinterventional cardiology has to look carefully at these developments, and to use them accordingly to improve thesuccess rate in ordinary percutaneous coronary interventions. We present a didactical case report of a CTOrevascularization treated with a new ‘dual core’ technology guide-wire.

Abstract

The treatment of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) continues to solicit technical innovations. As successprimarily depends on crossing the lesion with a wire, all aspects regarding tip shape retention, torque precision, andpenetration ability of the guide-wire have greatly influenced new techniques and strategies. The world ofinterventional cardiology has to look carefully at these developments, and to use them accordingly to improve thesuccess rate in ordinary percutaneous coronary interventions. We present a didactical case report of a CTOrevascularization treated with a new ‘dual core’ technology guide-wire.
