The retrograde approach has been shown to improve the success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) when performed by highly experienced operators. We report a very challenging case of a retrograde approach by the "reverse controlled antegrade and retrograde subintimal tracking (CART) technique" with a single guiding catheter for a CTO of the right coronary artery via an anomalous left circumflex artery.
