Bridgepoint Medical Systems Crossboss™ technique • Support catheter ¡ ¡ Highly torqueable coiled-wire shaft 0. 014 wire compatible • Spinning displaces friction and promotes forward movement • Can redirect with wire • Atraumatic tip rarely exits vessel • True lumen or subadventitial CTO crossing
Bridgepoint Medical Systems Stingray™ and Stingray GW technique • Flat balloon ¡ Self orientation • 3 wire ports ¡ OTW port ¡ Adventitial port ¡ Lumen port
Bridgepoint Medical Systems Stingray™ and Stingray GW technique • Wire probe ¡ Find lumen access port • Stingray Guidewire ¡ Distal fiber allows wire to “grip” tissue ¡ Facilitates reentry
Bridgepoint Medical Devices technique
Bridge. Point FIM Data • • 41 patients with de novo CTO Centers 2. Instituto Nacional del Tórax, Santiago, Chile Hospital Gustavo Fricke, Viña del Mar, Chile 3. Hospital Barros Luco Truddeau, Santiago, Chile 1. • Primary Efficacy Endpoint: ability to place a guidewire into the true lumen distal to the CTO • Primary Safety Endpoint: In-hospital MACE
Bridge. Point FIM • • • 76% male 47% diabetic Average length of 23. 3 mm 37% RCA 37% LAD 27% LCX Technical Success: 36/41 (87. 8%) In-hospital MACE: 0/42. 30 Day MACE: 0/13 (13 patients followed for 30 days to date)
The Bridgepoint FIM Chilean Experience --- early lessons • Safe and feasible as intended • The system is versatile ¡ Several tools to complement technique, rather than supplant technique • The Crossboss, Stingray balloon, and Stingray guidewire can be used alone and in combination • Device iteration Wire-balloon compatibility ¡ Crossboss torquing --- stress relief ¡
The Bridgepoint FIM Chilean Experience --- early lessons 2 • Lesion length is less relevant • Crossboss is good with Calcium, but not great ¡ May need aggressive wire manipulation to push dissection forward • Distal target and visualization is most important
Lesson- Crossboss can pass true lumen to true lumen in straight segments
Lesson – lesion length less important, distal target very important

Lesson – lesion length, sidebranch access, reposition balloon to good target
The value of the distal target for reentry Longitudinal Cross Section
Chilean FIM Experience Crossboss™ lessons Can cross straight CTOs true lumen to true lumen often ¡ Will predictably go subadventitial on curves ¡ May need to be redirected with conventional guidewires at shallow angle sidebranches ¡ Good with calcium, but not great ¡ • May need additional stiffwire or knuckle wire Spin fast ¡ Minimal forward pressure…let device do the work ¡ Leaves smooth channel…very easy to rewire if needed ¡ Tracks tortuosity very well ¡ Stores torque…stop spinning and let slow to a stop ¡
Chilean FIM Experience Stingray™ and Stingray Guidewire lessons ¡ Prep with large syringe to improve visualization ¡ Works best with large target • Reposition if necessary ¡ Works best in segments with good contrast filling ¡ Guidewire reentry should occur in proximity to Stingray balloon (0 -15 mm) ¡ Stingray GW is very effective of lumen reentry ¡ Stingray GW is not effective for CTO lesion wiring over long distance
Bridgepoint Medical Devices for CTO conclusions • • Complement, rather than supplant, technique Devices used alone or in combination Good for primary CTO therapy Good for recovery of “failing” cases (e. g. dissection/false channel) • Fast • Successful ¡ CTO length, tortuosity less relevant • Safe
