Surgical tool selection and operation

A system for selecting a surgical tool for an endovascular procedure

• an imaging interface to an imaging medium, the imaging interface configured to receive an image of a surgical region including a surgical target;
• a database for identifying, based on a vascular path defined by the image, a surgical route to the surgical target;
• an application configured to
• compare the vascular path to a database of previous procedures including catheters and guidewires, and
• identify, based on the comparison of the vascular path to a corresponding previous procedure, a selected catheter and a selected guidewire based on the catheter and guidewire of the corresponding previous procedure.

A computer program embodying program code on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that, when executed by a processor, performs steps for implementing a method of selecting a surgical tool for an endovascular procedure, the method comprising:

• receiving an image of a surgical region including a surgical target;
• identifying, based on a vascular path defined by the image, a surgical route to the surgical target;
• comparing the vascular path to a database of previous procedures including catheters and guidewires;
• and
• identifying, based on the comparison of the vascular path to a corresponding previous procedure, a selected catheter and a selected guidewire based on the catheter and guidewire of the corresponding previous procedure.
