Abstract
This case illustrates the potential clinical usefulness of retrograde approach for selective visualization of distal vessels in a patient with multiple coronary chronic total occlusions and previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. By knowing in extreme detail the exact anatomy of the complex post-surgical coronary system, a successful treatment can be planned for the patient.
