Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Catheter control systems which facilitate the tracking of an angle of deflection of a catheter distal end can be used for any number of procedures where catheter orientation relative to the body is desirable, e.g., in transseptal access procedures where an accurate angle of puncture of the septal wall is desirable. Such control systems may comprise a steerable handle which is oriented relative to the catheter steerable section to provide for consistent catheter articulation upon corresponding manipulation of the steering ring. Another variation may utilize an orientation indicator to track the deflectable distal end. For instance, an orientation marker as visualized through an imaging hood on the distal end may correspond to identical orientation markers on the control handle such that articulation of a steering mechanism in a direction relative to the orientation markers deflects the catheter distal end in a corresponding direction relative to the visualized orientation markers.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A catheter control handle, comprising: a housing having an elongate catheter extending therefrom; a spherical ball pivot supported within the housing; a steering ring which is shaped to circumferentially encircle a portion of the housing, the steering ring being supported via one or more support members extending radially from the spherical ball pivot; one or more pullwires attached to the steering ring whereby manipulation of the steering ring in a fi…
