Stereotaxis and Chronic Total Occlusion
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Chronic Total Coronary Occlusion
- 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.
