A randomized study comparing two guidewire strategies for angioplasty of chronic total coronary occlusion.

Category Primary study
JournalThe American journal of cardiology
Year 2000
Chronic total coronary occlusions were more frequently crossed using the Crosswire as a primary guidewire strategy than with the conventional strategy. This strategy resulted in a lower number of guidewires being used, a trend toward shorter procedural and fluoroscopy times, and decreased use of contrast media.
