Abstract:
Sliding friction between a catheter and a guiding core is reduced by a rotating inner catheter member ( 12 ), introduced between the guiding core ( 13 ) and an outer catheter member ( 11 ). The inner catheter member ( 12 ) is rotated in the outer catheter member ( 11 ) by a motor ( 14 ), which may be controlled by a control unit ( 2 ). A lower catheter friction with respect to the guidewire allows the physician improved assessment of the forces resulting from collisions of the outer catheter member ( 11 ) and the vascular wall.

Claim (Index 11):
The system according to  claim 10 ,\n wherein the guidewire and the outer catheter member of the catheter assembly comprise optical sensors for shape and position determination of the catheter assembly, wherein the control unit is configured to send optical signals to the optical sensors in the guidewire and in the outer catheter member of the catheter assembly, and wherein the control unit is further configured to determine a position of the guidewire and a position of the outer catheter member based on the signals received from the optical sensors.
