    Abstract: An endovascular method for bypassing an occlusion is disclosed. A distal end of a guidewire may be advanced through a microcatheter and into a subintimal space of an artery of a patient, where a knuckle may be formed at the distal end of the guidewire, and the guidewire with the knuckle at the distal end thereof may be advanced to the occlusion. An inflatable balloon catheter may be placed over the advanced guidewire and distal to the occlusion, and the inflatable balloon catheter may be inflated to form at least one opening in a layer separating the subintimal space from a true lumen, whereby the guidewire may traverse the at least one opening.
