title: Novel double catheter technique in complex percutaneous coronary interventions.
abstract: We present a novel double catheter technique for successful complex intervention of a very old proximal left circumflex chronic total occlusion (>10 years old). Prior attempts of guide wire passage using bare wire alone, over-the wire balloon or microcatheter support techniques were unsuccessful.
