Stereotaxis and Chronic Total Occlusion

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Chronic Total Coronary Occlusion
• Interventions: Procedure: Magnetic wire navigation; Procedure: Conventional wire navigation

• Registration Number: NCT01980537
• Lead Sponsor: Medical University of Vienna

Brief Summary

Wire-crossing of a chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) is time-consuming and limited by the amount of contrast agent and time of radiation exposure. Magnetic wire navigation might accelerate wire-crossing by maintaining a coaxial vessel orientation. This study compares magnetic with conventional wire navigation for recanalization of CTOs.
