Abstract:
A method and system for imaging, diagnosing, and/or treating an area of interest in a patient's body is provided. More particularly, a manually steered “rapid exchange” type catheter for a system for imaging, diagnosing, and/or treating an area of interest in a patient's body is provided. The catheter comprises a catheter body configured to be introduced to an area of interest in a patient's body, a device for imaging, diagnosing, and/or treating the area of interest contained within the catheter body, and a manual steering device attached to the imaging, diagnosing, and/or treating device to allow an operator to manually steer the imaging, diagnosing, and/or treating device, wherein the catheter is configured to be mounted on a commercially available guidewire.

Claim (Index 60):
A catheter comprising:\n a catheter body configured for introduction into an area of interest within a patient's body, the catheter comprising a distal portion and a proximal portion, the proximal portion comprising a first lumen along a length of the proximal portion but not extending into the distal portion, the distal portion comprising a second lumen along a length of the distal portion but not extending into the proximal portion; and a manual steering device coupled to the catheter body, wherein actuation of the manual steering device translates the proximal portion of the catheter body without translating the distal portion of the catheter body.
