The IVUS-guided parallel wire technique allowed re-crossing of the guidewire into the distal true lumen of the chronic total occlusion by identifying the anatomy of the occluded segment and the appropriate re-entry point.

In 1972, Bom and colleagues described the application of miniaturized ultrasound transducers to the tips of flexible intravascular catheters. These intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters were initially used to obtain high-resolution...
