✦ Synopsis

Previous reports describe high success rates achieved by dilating subclavian artery stenoses. Attempts at angloplasty for total occlusions have been uniformly unsuccessful. No prevlous case successfully recanalizing total subclavian artery occlusion was found after an extensive literature search. Modified guldewire technique facilitated safe crossing of the occlusion.

## Abstract Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) can fail to revascularize peripheral arteries when a chronic total occlusion (CTO) cannot be crossed by guidewires. This article describes application of a new controlled blunt microdissection (CMD) catheter designed to cross CTOs. Two men pre
