Drive-By Radial Artery Re-Entry

Abstract

Despite the success of the hybrid coronary chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention techniques, there has been little translation of these techniques into peripheral interventions. We describe a case of recanalization of an occluded radial artery that was dissected and re-entered using chronic total occlusion techniques before moving on to revascularize the coronary artery. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
