Stereotaxis and Chronic Total Occlusion

November 4, 2013 updated by: Univ. Prof. Dr. Thomas Neunteufl, Medical University of Vienna
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.
