PERCUTANEOUS MEDICAL DEVICE NAVIGATION SYSTEM

1 . A medical device navigation system, comprising:

a navigation device configured to:

receive image data representing one or more images from an imaging device, wherein the one or more images indicate a relative position between one or more reference markers of a medical device assembly positioned on a patient and a treatment site in the patient;

determine, based on the image data, a percutaneous insertion path for an injection needle from an insertion point to the treatment site in the patient; and

output one or more parameters corresponding to the percutaneous insertion path.

2 . The medical device navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the navigation device is further configured to output instructions to a display device to generate a visual representation of the percutaneous insertion path within the patient.

3 . The medical device navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the navigation device is further configured to output instructions to an actuation assembly to insert the injection needle along the percutaneous insertion path according to the one or more parameters.

4 . The medical device navigation system of claim 1 ,

wherein the medical device assembly comprises an adhesive patch configured to adhere to an outer surface of the patient,

wherein the adhesive patch defines a plane,

wherein the one or more parameters comprise an azimuthal angle in the plane and a polar angle from the plane.

5 . The medical device navigation system of claim 1 ,

wherein the medical device assembly comprises an adhesive patch configured to adhere to an outer surface of the patient,

wherein the adhesive patch defines a plane, and

wherein the one or more parameters comprise an x-axis position and a y-axis position in the plane of the adhesive patch and a z-axis position normal to the plane.

6 . The medical device navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the navigation device is configured to:

receive an indication of a position of the injection needle;

determine that the position of the injection needle does not correspond to the percutaneous insertion path; and

output, to a guidance system, an indication of an adjustment of the injection needle.

7 . The medical device navigation system of claim 6 , wherein the navigation device is configured to receive the indication of the position of the injection needle from at least one of the guidance system or the imaging device.

8 . The medical device navigation system of claim 6 , wherein the indication of the adjustment comprises instructions to a display device to generate a visual representation of the adjustment of the injection needle.

9 . The medical device navigation system of claim 6 , wherein the indication of the adjustment comprises instructions to the guidance system to adjust, based on the adjustment of the injection needle, the position of the injection needle.

10 . A method, comprising:

receiving, by a navigation device and from an imaging device, image data representing one or more images, wherein the one or more images indicate a relative position between one or more reference markers on a medical device assembly positioned on a patient and a treatment site in a patient;

determining, by the navigation device and based on the image data, a percutaneous insertion path for an injection needle from an insertion point to the treatment site of the patient; and

outputting, by the navigation device, one or more parameters corresponding to the percutaneous insertion path.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising outputting, by the navigation device, for display by a display device, a visual representation of the percutaneous insertion path within the patient.

12 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising inserting, by an actuation assembly and based on the one or more parameters, the injection needle along the percutaneous insertion path.

13 . The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the medical device assembly comprises an adhesive patch configured to adhere to an outer surface of the patient,

wherein the adhesive patch defines a plane,

wherein the one or more parameters comprise an azimuthal angle in the plane and a polar angle from the plane.

14 . The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the medical device assembly comprises an adhesive patch configured to adhere to an outer surface of the patient,

wherein the adhesive patch defines a plane;

wherein the one or more parameters comprise an x-axis position and a y-axis position in the plane and a z-axis position normal to the plane.

15 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving, by the navigation device, an indication of a position of the injection needle;

determining, by the navigation device, that the position of the injection needle does not correspond to the percutaneous insertion path; and

outputting, by the navigation device and to a guidance system, an indication of an adjustment of the injection needle.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising adjusting, by the guidance system and based on the indication of the adjustment, the position of the injection needle.

17 . The method of claim 10 , injecting a chemical agent at the treatment site of the patient, wherein the chemical agent is injected into a tissue proximate to a renal sympathetic nerve of the patient.

18 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the medical device assembly comprises:

an adhesive patch configured to adhere to an outer surface of the patient; and

a tracking assembly coupled to the adhesive patch, wherein the tracking assembly comprises the one or more reference markers.

19 . The method of claim 18 , further comprising:

removing, after receiving the image data, the tracking assembly from a coupling assembly coupled to the adhesive patch; and

attaching, prior to injecting a chemical agent, a guide assembly to the coupling assembly, wherein the guide assembly defines an orientation of the percutaneous insertion path.

20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising inserting, using the guide assembly, the injection needle along the percutaneous insertion path.
