Patent ID: 8663300

Claim:
A method for positioning a stent deployed for supporting a vessel in a blood vessel of a patient, comprising: provisionally positioning the stent in an area in the blood vessel intended for supporting the vessel; correcting delay time, wherein the delay time comprises time for deploying the stent, cable delay time, processing time, time for inflating a balloon, time for activating a pump for inflating the balloon, or time for withdrawing a sleeve surrounding the stent; partly automatically deploying the stent to a final position in the blood vessel as a function of a triggering signal of the patient considering the delay time; defining a point in time or a time interval in the heart cycle; storing the point in time or the time interval in a memory unit of a computing device, and recording an image of the stent by an imaging modality for detecting a position of the stent at the point in time or the time interval.
