	<span style="line-height:1.5;">Patients having chronic total occlusion (CTO) of
coronary artery who have inadequate collaterals to provide sufficient blood
flow to the myocardial bed may present with anginal symptoms. Revascularisation
of myocardium can be considered in those patients who remain symptomatic
despite optimal medical therapy. Angioplasty in CTO may lead to complication
like coronary perforation which if not managed on time can be catastrophic.
Ho</span><span style="line-height:1.5;">wever with proper back up, team work and skill such dreaded complication can
be taken care of with good outcome.</span>
