Chronic coronary occlusions are still a therapeutic challenge to the interventional cardiologist. New techniques such as laser wire have improved recanalization rates, but outcomes are still far from satisfactory. We report the results of a nonrandomized single-center investigation using a hydrophil
## 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. W
To diminish the restenosls rate after successful recanallratlon of chronic total coronary occlusion, we have implanted the Palmaz-Schatz stent in 6 patients. All procedures were successfully done without major complications. The anglographic follow-up at 6 months showed restenosls In one asymptomati
