- Angiographic Inclusion Criteria:
- A minimum of one de novo lesion with at least one target segment in a native coronary vessel meeting definition of chronic total occlusion. Non-study lesions will be treated first. A "chronic total occlusion" is any non-acute total coronary occlusion fulfilling the angiographic characteristics consistent with high-grade native coronary stenosis (TIMI 0) and estimated in duration at least 3 months by clinical history and/or comparison with antecedent angiogram or electrocardiogram. An attempt to cross the target lesion with at least one Asahi guidewire or a Corsair microcatheter must be made.

- Currently participating in an investigational drug or another device study that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the current study endpoints;
- Angiographic Exclusion Criteria:
- Occlusion involves segment within previous stent
- Extensive lesion-related thrombus (TIMI thrombus grade 3 or 4)
- Previous stenting (drug-eluting or bare metal) in the target vessel unless the following conditions are met:
- It has been at least 9 months since the previous stenting
- That target lesion is at least 15 mm away from the previously placed stent
- The previously stented segment (stent plus 5 mm on either side) has no more than 40% diameter stenosis, based on visual estimate
- The target vessel has other lesions proximal to the total occlusion identified with greater than 75% diameter stenosis based on visual estimate. However, planned stenting of the lesion in target vessel which is proximal to the target lesion and can be covered by a single stent (i.e., tandem lesions) are acceptable.

About this study
The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate confirmation of placement of any guidewire beyond the chronic total occlusion (CTO) in the true vessel lumen in patients in which at least one Asahi series of guidewires and/or Corsair microcatheter were used.
Procedure success will be defined as angiographic visualization of any guidewire in a position either distal or proximal to the occlusion depending on the route of access and the absence of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
Read the detailed description
This prospective, multi-center, single-arm, intent-to-treat (ITT) study is designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the investigational products for the treatment of CTOs in a native coronary artery.
The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate confirmation of placement of any guidewire beyond the CTO in the true vessel lumen in patients in which at least one Asahi series of guidewires and/or Corsair microcatheter were used.
The population for this study is subjects with signs and/or symptoms considered typical of ischemic heart disease attributed to a CTO in a native coronary artery, who are suitable for a percutaneous revascularization.
Procedure success will be defined as angiographic visualization of any guidewire in a position either distal or proximal to the occlusion depending on the route of access and the absence of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACE). All subjects are followed through hospital discharge.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Crossing of Coronary Artery CTO | Experimental | This is a single arm intent to treat study. A subject is considered enrolled when the subject has given informed consent and meets all inclusion and exclusion criteria, including angiographic inclusion and exclusion criteria, which includes an attempt to cross the target lesion with an investigational device (ASAHI PTCA Guidewire or ASAHI Corsair Microcatheter). Clinical evaluation up to hospital discharge is conducted on all enrolled subjects. The purpose of the clinical follow-up is to determine if the subject has experienced or is experiencing any adverse events Receives: Device: Crossing of Coronary Artery CTO |

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 12 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jul 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Procedure Success (time frame: Through hospital discharge, typically 24 hours post procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02379923, which also lists 12 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jul 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
