A Novel 3D Wiring Technique—ZOLUTION Zero Degree OverLap View Universal Three DimensIONal CTO Wiring
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We present a novel simple and easy‐to‐use 3D wiring technique for coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) named ZOLUTION—Zero OverLap View Universal Three dimensIONal wiring. ZOLUTION can be used for: (1) Distal cap puncture, (2) CTO body wiring, (3) Retrograde wiring, and (4) Reverse controlled antegrade and retrograde tracking (reverse CART)
