Embodiment Construction

[0019] Detailed description of the preferred embodiment

[0020] Before referring to the drawings, which illustrate the exemplary embodiments in detail, it is to be understood that the application is not to be limited to the details or methodology set forth in the description or illustrated in the drawings. It is also to be understood that the terminology is for the purpose of description only and should not be regarded as limiting.

[0021] see figure 1 , shows a catheter therapy system 10 . Catheter therapy system 10 may be used to perform catheter-based medical procedures such as percutaneous interventions. Percutaneous interventions may include diagnostic catheterization procedures during which one or more catheters are used to aid in the diagnosis of a patient's disease. For example, in one embodiment of a catheter-based diagnostic procedure, a contrast agent is injected through a catheter into one or more coronary arteries and an image of the patient's heart is tak...

Abstract

A catheter procedure system includes a controller programmed to advance the guide wire through a path using a guide wire advance / retract actuator, determine if a guide wire is in a desired path based at least on at least one image of a region of interest, rotate the guide wire using a guide wire rotate actuator if the guide wire is not in the desired path, wherein the guide wire is rotated a predetermined amount, and retract the guide wire using the guide wire advance / retract actuator. The steps of advancing the guide wire and retracting and rotating the guide wire using guide wire advance / retract actuator and the guide wire rotate actuator are repeated until the guide wire is in the desired path. The guide wire is advanced to a desired position using the guide wire advance / retract actuator.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related patent applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Utility Model Application 14 / 946,117, filed November 19, 2015, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 087,890, filed December 5, 2014, entitled "System and Method for Guiding a Wire" . Background technique [0003] The present invention relates generally to the field of catheter systems for performing therapeutic procedures, and more particularly to catheter procedure systems and methods for guiding guidewires. [0004] Vascular disease, especially cardiovascular disease, can be treated in different ways. Surgery, such as heart bypass surgery, is one way to treat cardiovascular disease. In some cases, however, vascular disease can be treated with catheter-based interventions such as angioplasty. Catheter-based interventions are generally considered less invasive than some other types of treatment. If a patient exhibits symptoms indicative of cardiovascular disease,...
