The Wire Rendezvous and Chasing Wire Technique in the Bidirectional Approach for the Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusion with a Single Guiding Catheter

<div>(a) Tip injection reveals the connection from the apical channel to the posterolateral branch. (b) The bidirectional angiography shows the short chronic total occlusion length. (c) The Gaia 2<sup>nd</sup> directly crosses the chronic total occlusion lesion. (d) The intravascular ultrasound imaging confirms that the retrograde wire is in the true lumen.</div>
