Patent ID: 8548567

Claim:
A system for performing and monitoring an invasive procedure for medical treatment of a patient in a laboratory, comprising: an x-ray unit having an x-ray source and an x-ray detector which traverse a circular track through an angle range less than 360°, said source and detector positionable about the patient while the patient undergoes the invasive procedure to effect image generation with x-ray data for real time monitoring of the invasive procedure; a plurality of sources of real time data including an ECG recording unit, an imaging catheter and a mapping unit with a mapping catheter; an ablation unit with an ablation catheter; and a control and evaluation unit which has interfaces with the x-ray unit, the ECG unit, the image catheter, the mapping unit, and the ablation unit for controlling the catheters and units and to capture, exchange, process and use real time data while performing the invasive procedure in the laboratory, the system configured so that real time data provided from the x-ray unit, the recording unit and the imaging catheter is provided to the control and evaluation unit by way of a common data bus, wherein a 3D image is recorded prior to performing the minimally invasive intervention and is updated with a current 3D image data generated from the x-ray unit, the imaging catheter or the mapping catheter when performing the minimally invasive intervention.
