Zusammenfassung:To improve the success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO), different strategies of retrograde approach were introduced in recent years. The aim of this report is to describe a new retrograde wiring technique for CTO, the “Bridge or Rendezvous method.” This new technique saves time, reduces cost, as well as reduces procedure‐related complications. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
