  FIG. 1 (A) Diagnostic CAG demonstrating CTO in the LAD artery (arrowheads, CTO segment). (B) A 7-Fr. sheath inserted via the left snuffbox approach (arrow, previous puncture site for diagnostic CAG). (C) Peripheral angiography of the left arm demonstrating no radial artery spasm after the insertion of the 7-Fr. sheath (arrow, tip of the 7-Fr. sheath). (D) Post-percutaneous coronary intervention CAG demonstrating successful stenting of the LAD lesion (both arrowheads). CAG: coronary angiography, CTO: chronic total occlusion, Fr: French, LAD: left anterior descending artery.
