Recanalization of chronic total occlusions (CTO) remains one of the most technically challenging areas in interventional cardiology. We report a case of retrograde recanalization of a chronically occluded mid-right coronary artery into a right internal mammary graft via a septal collateral. This retrograde approach provides another option for CTO recanalization when the anterograde approach has failed.
