title = "A Case-Based Illustration of the Use of Microcatheter Pressure Transduction for Confirmation of Distal Wire Position in Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention",
abstract = "Determining distal wire position during chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention can be challenging. We describe a novel technique that can help confirm distal true lumen wire position. A microcatheter is advanced distally over the wire and after removing the guidewire, it is connected to a manifold for pressure transduction: an arterial waveform is indicative of intra-luminal position.",
