Abstract
A surgical instrument navigation system and method of use is provided that visually simulates a virtual volumetric scene of a body cavity of a patient from a point of view of a surgical instrument residing in the cavity of the patient, wherein the surgical instrument, as provided, may be a steerable surgical catheter with a biopsy device and/or a surgical catheter with a side-exiting medical instrument, among others. Additionally, systems, methods and devices are provided for forming a respiratory-gated point cloud of a patient's respiratory system and for placing a localization element in an organ of a patient.
Claims (22)
1 . A surgical catheter, comprising:
an elongate flexible shaft having a proximal end portion, an opposite distal end portion, a longitudinal axis, and an outer wall extending from the proximal end portion to the distal end portion;
a handle attached to the proximal end portion;
the distal end portion defining an auger housing, the auger housing defining a tissue collection region and an exit opening;
an auger device housed within the auger housing comprises an auger bit and an actuation wire operatively connected thereto, the actuation wire extends proximally from within the auger housing to the handle, the auger device is actuatable between a first position within the auger housing through the exit opening to a second extended position outside the auger housing.
2 . The surgical catheter of claim 1 , wherein the auger bit is helical in shape.
3 . The surgical catheter of claim 1 , wherein the auger bit comprises a proximal base and a distal tip, the auger bit having a constant diameter from the proximal base to the distal tip.
4 . The surgical catheter of claim 1 , wherein the auger bit comprises a proximal base and a distal tip, the auger bit having a diameter, the diameter decreasing from the proximal base to the distal tip.
5 . The surgical catheter of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the tissue collection region comprises a viewing window.
6 . The surgical catheter of claim 1 , further comprising a localization element located at the distal end portion.
7 . The surgical catheter of claim 6 , wherein the localization element is affixed to the actuation wire.
8 . The surgical catheter of claim 6 , wherein the localization element is positioned proximate to the auger device, and that the auger device and the localization element move in conjunction with one another upon actuation of the auger device.
9 . The surgical catheter of claim 6 , wherein the localization element comprises an electromagnetic sensor.
10 . The surgical catheter of claim 9 , wherein the electromagnetic sensor is a six (6) degree of freedom electromagnetic sensor.
11 . The surgical catheter of claim 1 , wherein the exit opening is located at a distal tip of the auger housing.
12 . The surgical catheter of claim 1 , wherein the exit opening is an opening in the outer wall.
13 . The surgical catheter of claim 1 , further comprising a radiopaque marker pattern, the radiopaque marker pattern located at the distal end portion of the elongate flexible shaft.
14 . The surgical catheter of claim 13 , wherein the radiopaque marker pattern is comprised of a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart radiopaque markers.
15 . The surgical catheter of claim 14 , wherein each of the plurality of longitudinally spaced apart radiopaque markers is circular shaped.
16 . The surgical catheter of claim 1 , wherein the distal end portion of the elongate flexible shaft defines an echogenic pattern.
17 . The surgical catheter of claim 16 , wherein the echogenic pattern is defined by a plurality of grooves.
18 . The surgical catheter of claim 16 , wherein the echogenic pattern is defined by a plurality of partially spherical indentations.
