✦ Synopsis

Complex lesion angioplasty, such as chronic total occlusions, coronary vessels with right angle takeoffs, tortuous vessels, and tortuous internal mammary artery or saphenous vein grafts is a continuing challenge. The complex problems have been successfully managed with novel guiding catheter shapes and ultralow profile balloons. However, on occasion steerable guidewire placement remains extremely difficult, despite significantly improved means of intracoronary manipulations.

## Since the introduction of coronary angioplasty by Gruntzig et al. (Circulation [Suppl Ill 56:84, 1977), a key determinant to overall success has been advancement in equipment technology. Major advances have been made in the availability of low-profile catheters in the last 5 years that have fac
