A Service Walkthrough in Astrid Lindgren's Footsteps

Abstract

Although the guidewire crossing into the side branch was impossible by conventional antegrade methods when the bifurcation angle became 150° or more, the guidewire crossing into such a highly angulated side branch was easily possible using the reverse wire technique. The optimal guidewire selection for the reverse wire technique is the polymer-jacket hydrophilic guidewire with a round shape 3 cm from the guidewire tip.
