title: Use of the venture wire control catheter for subintimal coronary dissection and reentry in chronic total occlusions.
abstract: Antegrade wiring of chronic total occlusions (CTO) may fail due to subintimal wire entry and inability to reenter the true lumen. We report the use of the Venture wire control catheter to reenter the true lumen after subintimal entry in a long right coronary artery CTO.
