ABSTRACT:
A catheter system includes a guide wire, a working catheter and a torque device for removably coupling the working catheter to the guide wire while enabling rotation of the guide wire to the working catheter. Advancement of the guide wire in a vascular system is enabled by rotating the guide wire while the working catheter is coupled thereto. A procedure for use of the catheter system includes the simultaneous insertion of the guide wire and working catheter into a vascular system and independent rotation of the guide wire for steering the guide wire, with working catheter coupled thereto, through the vascular system.
