The rendezvous technique which previously introduced as an option for total occlusion in peripheral arterial diseases, now seems a helpful method in coronary total occlusion. It is defined as inserting an ate grade or retrograde guide wire into a contralateral micro catheter within the CTO lesion. This technique is a true lumen to true lumen crossing. By means of new devices for CTO intervention this technique is going to expand among interventionists. Here we present a case of RCA-CTO which was treated in this manner while other approaches failed. We will discuss the procedure and verify the tips in performing this newly growing technique. Learning objectives: Here in this manuscript we are going to discuss about a technique previously used to intervene in peripheral arteritis and providing this method in coronary arteries with chronic total occlusion.
