Recanalization of Popliteal and Infrapopliteal Chronic Total Occlusions Using Viance and CrossBoss Crossing Catheters: A Multicenter Experience From the XLPAD Registry
This study examines the acute procedural success of novel devices that facilitate either true lumen or subintimal navigation across popliteal and below-the-knee (BTK) CTOs. Viance and CrossBoss catheters were associated with an overall 70% procedural…
