About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Coronary Artery Disease focused on measuring Coronary Artery Chronic Total Occlusion In-Stent

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient eligible for elective revascularization of a native coronary vessel
  • Patient has refractory coronary total occlusion (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 0 flow) within a stent
  • Written Informed Consent obtained

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Under 18 years of age
  • Current participation in another study with any investigational drug or device

    ->TIMI 0 flow at target lesion site

  • Lesion >40mm. in length
  • Factors making follow-up or repeat angiography difficult or unlikely
  • Acute myocardial infarction less than 1 month before angioplasty
  • Contra-indication to emergency coronary artery bypass surgery
  • No access to cardiac surgery
  • Contra-indication to treatment with aspirin, ticlopidine, clopidogrel or heparin
  • Angiographic evidence of thrombus (filling defect proximal to or involving the occlusion)
  • Occluded ostium of the right coronary artery or stem of left main coronary artery as target lesion
  • Totally occluded bypass graft as target vessel
  • Occlusion in an unprotected left main coronary artery
  • Ejection fraction less than 30%
  • Lesion beyond acute bends or in a location within the coronary anatomy where the catheter cannot traverse
  • Lesion within a bifurcation with a significant sidebranch >1.5mm in diameter

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

RF Guidewire

Arm Description

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary RF wire success
Defined as reaching the true lumen of any branch distal to the total occlusion with the sole use of the RF wire with absence of major complications (Myocardial Infarction (MI), tamponade, emergency Cornary Artery Bypass graft (CABG) or death)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Facilitated RF wire Success: Procedure Success: Clinical Success
Facilitated RF wire success is defined as reaching the true lumen of any branch distal to the total occlusion with combined use of the RF wire and any approved mechanical guidewire with absence of major complications Procedure success defined as in-hospital device success and final residual stenosis < 30% on visual assessment, following adjunctive angioplasty, with absence of major complications Clinical success defined as device and procedure success during the concurrent hospital stay with absence of major complication
