Does the Crosswire TM hydrophilic guidewire provide effective recanalization in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty for total occlusions?
The Crosswire TM hydrophilic guidewire is an effective and safe tool for the recanalization of total coronary occlusions, achieving an 80.3% success rate.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Crosswire TM may aid CTO recanalization in select cases; leaves open comparative efficacy versus contemporary wires.

Kim et al. (1999) conducted an observational in Total coronary occlusion (n=117). Crosswire TM guidewire was evaluated on Procedural success rate. Coronary angioplasty for total occlusion using the Crosswire TM guidewire achieved a procedural success rate of 80.3% (94/117) with no major cardiac events.
