- Procedural step:
The patient had short LAD occlusion in the middle segment with ambiguous proximal cap and unclear distal cap. He had also well-developed epicardial collateral from 1st DB to LAD. The option could be IVUS-guided proximal cap penetration, but it was unavailable at that time. The patient didn't have visible septal collaterals, but in spite of this fact I decided to start from retrograde from the first septal branch. Sion blue wire with Corsair successfully crossed septal loop and achieved the distal cap of occlusion near bifurcation of septal branch and LAD. Then Sion blue wire was exchanged to Gaia second wire which crossed occlusion due to pure retrograde technique and Corsair was pushed toward the proximal LAD and then was moved backwards. Chanel dilatation allowed Fielder XT-R to place antegrade in distal LAD. After predilatation and implantation of two DES in LAD, kissing-balloon dilatation and POT were performed. Finally, control examination showed patent LAD and DB with short ostial dissection in DB, also the small fistula from septal branch to left ventricle was observed.

- Case Summary:
Ipsilateral septal-septal techniques are well known and could be performed even in cases without visible connections.Retrograde approach facilitates recanalization in cases of ambiguous proximal cap and helps to avoid subintimal techniques which are not appropriate in LAD lesions.Dear committee, I want you to allow me to prepare presentation with comparison of three different cases in LAD occlusions with ipsilateral septal-septal strategy.
