Disclosed herein is a system, apparatus and method directed to placing a medical instrument in a vasculature of a patient body. The optical fiber includes one or more core fibers. The system also includes a console having non-transitory computer-readable medium storing logic that, when executed, causes operations of providing an incident light signal to the optical fiber, where the optical fiber is coupled to a deployable medical device, receiving a reflected light signal of the incident light, and processing the reflected light signal to determine deployment information pertaining to deployment of the deployable medical device. The medical device may be a balloon, a filter, a stent or a valve, and the deployment information may include a location of the deployment, a status of the deployment, measurements of the deployable medical device in a deployed state or a shape of the deployed medical device.
A system for deploying a deployable medical device into a body of a patient, the system comprising:
A method for deploying a deployable medical device into a body of a patient, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon logic that, when executed by one or more processors, causes operations for deploying a deployable medical device, the operations including:
