Tortuous coronary arteries pose a special problem for the cardiac interventionists. They are associated with difficulty in advancement of guidewire, balloons and stents across the coronaries with higher complications. We describe an interesting phenomenon of "self advancement of guidewire" in tortuous coronary arteries with an illustrative case.
