Abstract
A 50-year-old man was admitted due to effort chest pain. Coronary angiogram showed a total occlusion of LAD. The 5-French JL 3.5 was engaged into the left coronary artery. The XT-A guidewire was advanced to the distal of the occluded lesion. Contralateral angiography was performed using JL 3.5. The guiding catheter was pullback from the left coronary orifice leaving the guidewire at LAD, and the catheter tip was rotated clockwise to right coronary cusp for right coronary angiography. We could confirm that the guidewire was in the true lumen vessel.
