The elongate body includes an exit port along its side that is proximal to the distal end. An imaging assembly is associated with the elongate body and configured to generate image data of the first vessel and a second vessel positioned next to the first vessel. For vascular access formation, a penetrating member of the catheter system extends out of the exit port and through a wall of the first vessel and a wall of the second vessel.

Claim (Index 15):
The catheter system of  claim 15 , wherein one of the plurality of markers is visually distinguishable from at least one other of the plurality of markers.
