First Claim
1. A catheter procedure system comprising:
- a bedside system, the bedside system comprising;
a catheter including an expandable percutaneous intervention device;
a robotic catheter system; and
an inflation device configured to cause expansion of the expandable percutaneous intervention device; and
a remote workstation, the remote workstation comprising;
a user interface configured to receive at least a first user input and a second user input;
a control system operatively coupled to the user interface for remotely controlling both the robotic catheter system and the inflation device; and
a monitor configured to display information related to the expandable percutaneous intervention device;
wherein the control system includes a controller that controls the robotic catheter system tomove the catheter based upon at least the first user input and controls the inflation device to cause expansion of the expandable percutaneous intervention device based upon at least the second user input;
wherein the control system includes a user assistance module to identify a size and type of a lesion based on data generated by an imaging system, wherein the user assistance module is configured to identify an inflation profile to treat the identified lesion and the control system is configured to automatically inflate the expandable percutaneous intervention device utilizing the inflation profile.

Abstract
A catheter procedure system including a bedside system and a remote workstation is provided. The bedside system includes a catheter including an expandable percutaneous intervention device, a robotic catheter system configured to move the catheter, and an inflation device configured to cause expansion of the expandable percutaneous intervention device. The remote workstation includes a user interface configured to receive a at least first user input and a second user input and a control system operatively coupled to the user interface for remotely controlling both the robotic catheter system and the inflation device. The remote workstation includes a monitor configured to display information related to the expandable percutaneous intervention device. The control system controls the robotic catheter system to move the catheter based upon at least the first user input and controls the inflation device to cause expansion of the expandable percutaneous intervention device based upon at least the second user input.
