Dear Editor:
We would like to congratulate Deora et al1 on the use of their novel technique for overcoming radial artery loops during transradial interventions. However, we have the following concerns regarding its safety and utility:

CTO-PCI remains one of the most challenging chapters in interventional cardiology. We present the first description of a reverse CART technique using a cutting balloon instead of a semicompliant or non-compliant balloon.

Guidewire-induced coronary perforation (CP) rate is reported to have increased. We analyzed 23,399 PCIs to evaluate the independent contribution of guidewire-induced CP on mortality.
