Endovascular Crossing of Chronic Total Occlusions Using an Impulse: An Explorative Design Study

In this study we investigated whether exerting an impulse on a Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) improves the success rate of CTO crossing as compared to the currently used method of statically pushing the guidewire against the CTO. A prototype (Ø2 mm) was developed that generates translational momentum...
