Use of the CrossBoss/Stingray devices for CTO PCI is associated with equally high success and equally low complication rates as other techniques, both immediately post procedure and during long-term follow-up, in spite of its use in higher...

We retrospectively examined 373 consecutive CTO-PCIs performed at our institution between 2005 and 2013 to determine the frequency and treatment of balloon-uncrossable CTOs. Balloon-uncrossable CTOs are encountered in 6.4% of contemporary...
