Successful recanalization of previously subintimal stenting of the right coronary artery

Stent placement in the subintimal or false lumen is a rare complication of coronary interventions. Subintimal stenting can cause chronic total occlusion. Angiography images of previously treated CTO cases should be carefully monitored. To avoid placing a stent in the false lumen, it must be absolutely sure that it is inside the lumen. In this case, we presented a successful case of chronic total occlusion in the right coronary artery with a subintimal stent.
