The present invention relates to a catheter for recanalizing a blood vessel having an occlusion therein. The catheter comprises a catheter shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a distal end portion proximate the distal end； an expandable member secured to the distal end portion of the catheter shaft； and a flexible tubular member extending from the catheter shaft and along an exterior of the expandable member； wherein expansion of the expandable member deflects the flexible tubular member into a deflected configuration away from a longitudinal axis of the catheter shaft and wherein the expandable member is an inflatable balloon with inflatable wings that orient the flexible tubular member toward the center of the true lumen of the vessel.
