Ping-Pong Guide Catheters to Facilitate Real-Time Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Recanalization of Stumpless Chronic Total Occlusion

Ping-Pong Guide Catheters to Facilitate Real-Time Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Recanalization of Stumpless Chronic Total Occlusion

Stumpless chronic total occlusion is associated with a higher failure rate of recanalization. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is useful for identifying the entry point; however, 8-F guide catheters are necessary for real-time IVUS-guided wiring. This case reports the novel use of the “ping-pong” gui...
