Distal Radial Access in Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Insights From the PROGRESS-CTO Registry

Dissection re-entry is a widely used technique in many chronic total occlusion centers. This account of a failed re-entry attempt provides in vivo photographic evidence of how the vessel looked after such an attempt. Operators are advised to...
