Hemostasis valve for guide catheter control

An apparatus comprising:

• a drive motor coupled to a drive member;
• a hemostasis valve including a valve body having a proximal port, a distal port and a lumen extending between the proximal port and the distal port, at least one valve being located in the lumen to permit an interventional device to be passed therethrough, a rotating luer lock connector of the hemostasis valve rotatably connected to the valve body proximate the distal port;
• an extension member having an extension member body with a proximal end and an opposing distal end, the extension member body including a hollow lumen extending therethrough from the proximal end to the distal end, the extension member body having a female luer connector proximate the proximal end and a male luer connector proximate the distal end, the female luer connector of the extension member being removably secured to the rotating luer lock connector of the hernostasis valve at the proximal end of the extension member, the male luer connector of the extension member being configured to removably secure a catheter thereto, the body of the extension member having a driven member configured to be rotatably driven by the drive member;
• wherein rotation of the drive member imparts rotation to the extension member and the catheter while isolating the hemostasis valve from rotational motion;
• and
• a controller providing instructions to the motor via a user interface to rotate the driven member and the extension member;
• and
• the driven member being removable from the drive member while the guide catheter is operatively secured to the hemostasis valve.
