Abstract:

Described is a system and medical device for the electromagnetic tracking of a medical instrument transported through a medical device, the medical device having a central axis, a channel that receives and transports a medical instrument through the medical device, the channel extending to a distal portion of the medical device. According to some aspects, the system includes tracking circuitry and a plurality of coordinated electromagnetic sensors for generating a virtual axis of travel for the medical instrument. According to some aspects, the virtual axis passes through the opening of the device and is aligned with a tool insertion axis.

Abstract:

A robotic system for operating a endovascular deployment device () including a treatment device () mounted to a delivery tool () connected to a proximal control (), and further including an optical shape sensor () (e.g., an endograft endovascular deployment device incorporating an optical shape sensor). The robotic system employs a robot () attachable to proximal control () and/or delivery tool () for navigating the treatment device () within a cardiovascular system (e.g., a robot controlling an axial rotation and/or axial translation of an endograft mounted to a sheath catheter). The robotic system further employs a robot controller () for controlling a navigation of treatment device () within the cardiovascular system by the robot () derived from a spatial registration between a shaping sensing by the optical shape sensor () of a portion or entirety of endovascular deployment device () to a medical image of the cardiovascular system (e.g., an X-ray/reconstructed image of an abdominal aorta).

Abstract:

An instrument driving mechanism includes an instrument drive assembly () including a first set of wheels () coupled to a first end portion and a second set () of wheels coupled to a second end portion opposite the first end portion. The first set of wheels is configured to engage an elongated instrument () therein such that a rotation plane of the first set of wheels is coplanar with a longitudinal axis of the instrument. The second set of wheels is configured to engage the elongated instrument therein such that a rotation plane of the second set of wheels is obliquely oriented with the longitudinal axis of the instrument wherein motion of the instrument is controlled by controlling rotations of the wheels. The instrument drive assembly mounts to a mounting position () of a medical device that permits the instrument to pass therethrough and is configured to fix a position of the instrument drive assembly to enable positioning of the instrument.
