Chronic total occlusions are typically difficult to recannalize especially when adverse angiographic morphologies are identified. We describe a case of chronic total occlusion crossing retrograde through the supplying collaterals followed by successful angioplasty and stenting. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
