Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Adult aged 25-80
2. Patient understands and has signed the study informed consent form.
3. Patient has an angiographic documented Chronic Total Occlusion (i.e. \>3 months occlusion duration) showing distal TIMI flow 0.
4. Suitable candidate for non-emergent, coronary angioplasty
5. Documented coronary angiography preceding the PCI reveals at least one CTO lesion situated in a non-infarct related coronary artery or its side branches with the following characteristics:
1. Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 0 flow for at least 90 days;
2. Satisfactory distal vessel visualization
3. CTO should be amenable to percutaneous treatment and must be located in a coronary vessel with a reference diameter of at least 2 millimeters.
4. CTO refractory to a minimum of 10 minutes of conventional guide wire attempt.
6. Body Mass Index (BMI) \< 40
7. Left ventricle ejection fraction \> 25%
For the purpose of this trial, a CTO is defined as a 100% luminal narrowing without antegrade flow or with antegrade or retrograde filling through collateral vessels.
