Abstract
What this paper adds:
With technological advances in endovascular devices, endovascular treatment of complex chronic total occlusions in the peripheral vasculature is becoming more feasible. Re-entering the true vessel lumen after subintimal crossing of heavily calcified lesions remains a limiting factor for successful treatment. The first in human use of an innovative electrically guided re-entry catheter, which has the potential for improving success in these challenging cases, is presented.
