Abstract

When performing revascularisation of a chronic total occlusion, contralateral injection is essential to visualise the distal bed of the occluded vessel, adding to procedural success. Here we describe a case of antegrade recanalisation of a left anterior descending artery chronic total occlusion with retrograde injection through a well-developed conus branch.
Keywords: chronic total occlusion; conus artery; left anterior descending artery; right ventricular branch chronic total occlusion; conus artery; left anterior descending artery; right ventricular branch
