Guidewire Selection: a straight, soft guidewire (e.g. Bentson) is generally used to traverse the occluded segment(s). Wires with or without hydrophilic coatings may be used, but a non-coated guidewire is most often used initially. The guidewire is inserted into the balloon catheter so that is tip is just inside the catheter. Typically 90% of stenotic lesions can be crossed with a wire.
