Excellent case. Yes it's a blunt cap,but in hindsight now, Can just a trial of antegrade first approach be used here?

[@manosbrilakis]

Sure!

What’s the difference between Gaia and Mongo wires ? Thank you Manos 🌴🌴

[@manosbrilakis]

Gaia (tip load 1.7-4.5 gr) and Gaia Next (tip load 2-6 gr) are medium tip stiffness non-polymer jacketed wires. The Gladius Mongo is a stiff tip (tip load 3 gr) polymer jacketed wire that is designed to form tight knuckles at the tip.
