Randomized control study of the outback LTD reentry catheter versus manual reentry for the treatment of chronic total occlusions in the superficial femoral artery

Abstract

In our experience, the use of this device is very useful for the revascularization of chronic femoral occlusions, even calcific, in which an accurate re-entry cannot be achieved with the conventional subintimal technique. In these cases, the Outback device grants high technical success rates and a significant reduction of procedural and fluoroscopy times.
