1. A system for performing an interventional procedure, the system comprising:
an interventional instrument comprising a catheter and an interventional tool extendable from the catheter; and
a control system comprising a processor and a memory comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the control system to:
receive a model of an anatomic structure, the anatomic structure including a plurality of passageways;
identify a target structure in the model;
receive information about a maximum extension length the interventional tool can be extended relative to a distal tip of the catheter;
based upon the received information about the maximum extension length, identify a planned deployment location for positioning the distal tip of the catheter to perform the interventional procedure on the target structure;
determine a navigational path for the catheter to the target structure; and
navigate the catheter to the identified planned deployment location via computer-control or based on user input.
