Wire entering extraplaque space, subintimal transcatheter withdrawal technique, and reentry to the posterolateral artery true lumen. (a) False lumen hematoma before subintimal transcatheter withdrawal technique. (b) Subintimal transcatheter withdrawal technique. Aspiration is performed by decompressing the hematoma through the STINGRAY™ and allowing re-expansion of the distal true lumen. (c) Reentry to the posterolateral artery true lumen using the stick and swap. (d) Distal position of the wire in the posterolateral artery (PLA) lumen.
