Chronic total occlusion catheter Crosser™ CTO

peripheral

Features: Facilitates central lumen CTO recanalization via atherectomy Utilizes high-frequency mechanical vibration Frontline therapy Maximizes therapeutic options About Crosser™ CTO Recanalization Catheters Crosser™ CTO Recanalization Catheters utilize high frequency, mechanical vibration to cross chronic total occlusions (CTOs) intraluminally allowing for subsequent balloon angioplasty and/or stent placement. Crosser™ Catheters are available on both over-the-wire and rapid exchange delivery platforms. Crosser™ CTO Catheters facilitate intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond peripheral artery chronic total occlusions via atherectomy. Crosser™ Catheters are commercially available in the United States and are CE marked. CTO procedure failures are primarily due to the inability to:1 · Penetrate proximal cap · Navigate side branches · Re-enter distal true lumen · Failure to cross lesions, with possible procedure failure, may lead to important burdens such as lengthy procedures, increased radiation exposure, periprocedural complications, and repeat intervention2,3 · Clinical literature has shown CTO crossing success rates of 5% to 66% with primary wire-catheter1 · This may result in sub-intimal deflection and subsequent dissection which may impair and isolate new lumen from collateral circulation
