Abstract
|
|
|
|
The acute technical failure of endovascular treatment of chronic total occlusions is most often due to the inability to re-enter the true lumen after occlusion is crossed in a subintimal plane. True lumen re-entry catheters are very effective at gaining wire passage back to the true lumen and facilitating successful endovascular treatment of chronic total occlusions that would otherwise require open bypass. These case reports describe our initial experiences with a new catheter system (the Outbackⓡ LTDTM catheter) that is designed to allow fluoroscopically controlled re-entry of the true arterial lumen after subintimal guidewire passage during recanalization procedures of arterial occlusions.
