Abstract

A retrograde approach through the collateral channels is considered to improve the success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO). Various kinds of strategies and techniques are required to improve the success rate of this novel approach. We describe a case in which a CTO was successfully recanalized by the retrograde approach, using a new anchoring balloon technique (double anchoring balloon technique) which enabled the successful balloon passage through the hard CTO lesion.

## Abstract The retrograde approach for chronic total occlusion of coronary arteries is a new treatment strategy, although its attendant complications have not yet been fully appreciated. We report a case of isolated left ventricular cardiac tamponade caused by guidewire‐induced perforation of the
