Abstract
A catheter apparatus is provided with lumens for accommodating guidewires. The apparatus comprises an actuator controllable to move the distal ends of the lumens relative to each other. Accordingly, the separation of the guidewires can be controlled, enabling probing by the guidewires of different area of an occlusion in a blood vessel, such as a chronic total occlusion.
