The Go-BACK catheter is a novel device designed to be used for both intraluminal crossing or re-entry, into a vessel lumen from the subintimal space during subintimal angioplasty. It is reserved for cases where reentry has not been possible using conventional wire and catheter techniques. We report our experience in recanalization of the chronic total occlusions of the common iliac artery (CIA) using the Go-BACK catheter, in cases where other techniques were unsuccessful.
