Emmanouil S. Brilakis , MD, PhD, FACC, FAHA, FESC, FSCAI;

Inability to cross the occlusion with a guidewire is the most common cause of failure of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions. We describe two cases of successful application of the novel Gaia family of coronary guidewires...
