Abstract
A method for navigating a guide wire during a catheter procedure, the method includes changing the direction of a distal portion of the guide wire to advance past a junction in a desired path by rotating a proximal end of the guide wire a predetermined amount while the guide wire is being retracted to a point before the junction and then advancing the distal end of the guide wire past the junction through the desired path.
Claims22
A method for navigating a guide wire during a catheter procedure, the method comprising:
- advancing a guide wire through a desired path of an anatomy to a point proximate a junction;
- changing the orientation of a distal end of the guide wire by retracting the guide wire in response to a first user input and
- automatically rotating a proximal end of the guide wire using a catheter procedure system a predetermined amount while the guide wire is being retracted to a point before the junction in response to a second user input;
- and
- advancing the distal end of the guide wire past the junction through the desired path.
2 more elements
A catheter procedure system comprising:
- a bedside system comprising a guide wire, a guide wire advance/retract actuator coupled to the guide wire and a guide wire rotate actuator coupled to the guide wire;
- and
- a control system coupled to the bedside system, the control system comprising:
- a user interface including a first user input and a second user input;
- at least one display;
- a controller having a mode selection module programmed to:
- automatically rotate a proximal end of the guide wire about a longitudinal axis of the guide wire a predetermined amount using the guide wire rotate actuator while the guide wire is being retracted and wherein the mode selection module is programmed to only automatically rotate the guide wire during the first retraction of the guide wire when the guide wire is retracted multiple times.
