Osamu Katoh , MD;

Hidefumi Ohya , MD;

Eisho Kyo , MD;

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.

The IVUS-guided parallel wire...
