    Abstract: An apparatus for treating a total occlusion in a blood vessel may include a self-orienting device including an elongate shaft and an inflatable orienting element. The shaft includes an inflation lumen having a first noncircular shape and a working lumen having a second noncircular shape. The inflatable orienting element includes first and second inflatable members extending laterally from the shaft. An outer diameter of the shaft is 0.045 inches or less, a cross-sectional area of the first noncircular cross-sectional shape is at least 0.00013 square inches, and a cross-sectional area of the second noncircular cross-sectional shape is at least 0.00056 square inches. The shaft may include a distal tail extending distally from the inflatable orienting element, the distal tail being at least 15 millimeters long. The shaft may include a plurality of first apertures communicating with the working lumen and disposed in the distal tail.

    Abstract: A recanalization catheter for facilitating reentry into a lumen of a vessel having an occlusion therein from a subintimal space in a wall of the vessel. The recanalization catheter includes a catheter shaft extending distally from a hub. The catheter shaft defines a guidewire lumen extending therethrough. First and second inflatable balloon members are disposed on a distal end region of the catheter shaft. The catheter shaft includes an inflation lumen in fluid communication with the first and second inflatable balloon members. A lateral opening which is in communication with the guidewire lumen opens to an exterior of the catheter shaft between the first and second inflatable balloon members on a first side of the catheter shaft. The catheter shaft also includes an imaging lumen extending through the catheter shaft configured to receive an IVUS imaging device therein.
