Boston Scientific - Master The Cross

In peripheral CTOs where you prefer to stay intraluminal, is your success rate lower than you'd like?

With technical success rates in crossing long (> 10cm) SFA occlusions as low as 50%¹, chances are good your intraluminal peripheral CTO crossing success rate isn’t as high as you’d like it to be.

In complex CTOs, intraluminal crossing with traditional guidewires and catheters can be particularly difficult, if not impossible, when faced with the challenges of heavy calcification, long occlusions, and tortuosity. TruePath™, a purpose built CTO device capable of drilling through heavily calcified CTOs, is one tool that can be used to increase your intraluminal crossing success.

Leading Interventionalist Dr. James Park (Presbyterian Hospital, Dallas, TX), has successfully performed over 70 CTO procedures using the TruePath CTO device as part of his broader “toolkit” approach. Learn more about his technique in the article and video below.
