Crusade Dual Lumen Catheter Assisted Successful Revascularization of Chronic Total Occlusion - Technical Consideration

Penetration of proximal cap and entry into distal true lumen is soul of successful recanalization of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO). However, blunt tip with large side branch coming just before the cut-off makes wire entry into proximal cap extremely tough as it is prone to prolapse into side branch. Here, we report a case of a 61-year-old, hypertensive and smoker male who presented intractable angina caused by CTO of mid LAD.
