Power Knuckle Technique for Facilitating True Lumen Crossing of a Complex in Stent Chronic Total Occlusion
The power knuckle technique is usually used for antegrade dissection and re-entry for extraplaque crossing of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs). We describe successful use of the power knuckle technique for intraplaque crossing of a challenging in-stent CTO.
