Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 17:
18. A system for delivering an elongated medical device along a path to a target location, the system comprising:
an imaging system; and
a catheter procedure system coupled to the imaging system, the catheter procedure system including
a bedside system including an elongated medical device and a drive assembly configured to drive the elongated medical device, and
a workstation coupled to the bedside system, the workstation including
a user interface,
a display, and
a controller coupled to the bedside system, the user interface and the imaging system, the controller programmed to
identify a source point and at least one constraint point,
calculate the path passing through the source point, the at lest one constraint point, and the target location,
generate a mask of the path,
determine whether at least one child vessel is connected to the path,
generate a child vessel mask in response to determining that the at least one child vessel is connected to the path,
displaying the mask and the child vessel mask on an image associated with the mask on the display,
track a position of a distal portion of the elongated medical device based on a set of real-time images acquired by the imaging system,
determine a remaining path length based at least on the position of the distal portion of the elongated medical device, the remaining path length being a distance between the distal portion of the elongated medical device and the target location, wherein the remaining path length decreases as the distal portion of the elongated medical device approaches the target location,
update the remaining path length during movement of the elongated medical device,
determine whether the distal portion of the elongated medical device is off path,
adjust the position of the distal portion of the elongated medical device in response to the distal portion of the elongated medical device being off path,
advance the elongated medical device to the target location at a velocity, and
adjust the velocity based on the remaining path length, the velocity being proportional to the remaining path length.
