Zusammenfassung:	The coronary angiography of the patient had revealed triple vessel disease. [...]he was scheduled for a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). An unsuccessful attempt was made to straighten the knot by passing a regular 0.35 Teflon wire. [...]a terumo wire was passed through the distal port, but in vain, hence with the help of the terumo wire the catheter was safely parked in the right atrium under fluoroscopic control.
