CTO guidewires
Wire categories
CTO wires
Polymeric wires
Polymer covered wires
FIELDER XT, XT-A or XT-R: Frontline wire for ante- or retrograde channel tracking
FIELDER FC: collateral channel crossing
PILOT 200: antegrad crossing, knuckle wire
Stiff Non-Tapered Jacketed
Pilot 200
• Combination of penetration power and push• Will advance across the path of least resistance
• Follow micro-channels if available• Will cross over into the subintimal space in fibro-
calcific CTOs without microchannels• Manages tortuosity, long lesions well
• Can serve as “knuckle wire”
Non polymeric wires
Externalization wires
Pilot 200 bigger knuckles
Fielder XT smaller knuckles
Knuckle wires (blunt dissection)
RG3
R350
Viper

A task-specific approach
CTO anatomy
J-CTO score
• Proximal cap
• Intra CTO Calcium
• In-CTO tortuosity
• Lesion length
• Previous procedural failure
J-CTO score: Morino et al. JACC Interv 2011; 4: 213 - 21

Predictors of success for A/RWE
• Short lesion length
• cap tapered (or blunt)
• No or low tortuosity

Microcatheters - FineCross
Soft Tip
• Spiral
– Outer coil on the distal shaft for added
rotational advancement
– Increased stability during knuckling in
resistant lesions
– Vessels with > 1.0 mm DS

Soft Tip
• LP
– Lower profile and increased flexibility
compared with turnpike
– Ideal for crossing epicardials
