  • the present invention relates to medical devices in general, and to a method and apparatus for positioning and presenting a device in a tubular organ, in particular.
  • a balloon mounted on a guide wire is inserted into the vessel and inflated at the stenosis position, thus dilating the vessel by compressing atherosclerotic plaque against the vessel wall.
  • a balloon is insufficient and a tubular prosthesis, i.e. a stent is also mounted on the guide wire and positioned at the stenosis area in order to hold the vessel open.
  • Positioning a device in the appropriate location relative to the stenosis is a challenging task even for a skilled physician, even in cases of good vessel imaging conditions (e.g.
  • the vessel is not tortuous, no occlusions, no side branches in the region of interest, easy to arrive at with a catheter). This is caused by the physician being able to see only one of the two data sources at a time: the device, through radiopaque markers attached to it in an x-ray image; or the tubular organ with its stenotic area in an angiogram involving the injection of contrast material, but not both of them simultaneously.
  • An organ can not be seen in an x- ray image, unless contrast material is present, while the device can not be seen when contrast material is present (for example in an angiogram).
  • Bi- ventricular pacer lead insertion is yet another interventional radiology procedure where accurate positioning of a device is crucial.
  • Guide wires that carry markers which are visible in an x-ray have been introduced.
  • such guide wires can only serve as rulers for measuring features.
  • a major drawback is that when only a small section of the guide wire, consisting of part of the markers, is seen in an x-ray image, a physician can not tell the exact location of a specific marker in relation to the tubular organ. In particular, one can not tell if the guide wire has moved during the procedure.
