摘要: Endovascular intervention of peripheral chronic total occlusion (CTO) is technically challenging and time consuming. Various techniques devices are used to facilitate lesion crossing improve the success rate procedure. However, these new quite expensive not readily available. We report 2 cases CTO wherein occlusions were successfully crossed by using stiff end Terumo glidewire. This sharp recanalization may be a useful technique for calcified CTOs when conventional fail available, but it accompanied risk distal atheroembolism.
