The present disclosure relates to a kit for treating a treatment area in a vasculature of a patient, comprising:.a first crossing catheter having a first shaft including a first distal portion adapted for positioning at or near the treatment area and a first proximal portion including a first marking at a first location; and a second catheter having a second shaft including a second distal portion adapted for positioning at the treatment area. In one embodiment, a second proximal portion of the second catheter includes a second marking substantially matching the first location of the first marking. In an alternative embodiment, the first proximal portion includes a first marking at a first location corresponding to a first margin of the treatment area and a second marking at a second location corresponding to a second margin of the treatment area, and a second proximal portion of the second shaft includes a third marking substantially matching the first location or the second location on the first, crossing catheter.
