More stents, more troubles

We have read with great interest the article entitled “Importance of IVUS in the treatment with retrograde approach of long in-stent chronic total occlusion of ostial right coronary artery: A case report” by Talanas and Garbo [1]. The authors describe their efforts to treat in-stent chronic total occlusion (ISR-CTO) of an ostial right coronary arte ry (RCA) using various approaches (classical antegrade and retrograde techniques and knuckle-wire approach), many types of guiding catheters, and four bioresorbable polymer sirolimus-eluting stents.
