ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a guide wire apparatus and a method for detecting the location of a guide wire within the body of a patient. The apparatus includes a guide wire with an internally-housed sensing member. The guide wire assembly is structured to provide the response, maneuverability and tactile feel comparable to conventional guide wire devices. The apparatus is useful in medical treatments and diagnoses such as angioplasty or catheterization procedures, for detecting obstructions within a blood vessel of a patient, and the like.
