The device is slidably engagable with the catheter. One of the catheter and the device includes magnetic material, and the other of the catheter and the device includes electrically- energizable windings. The catheter and the device are adapted to operate as a linear motor wherein controllably electrically energizing the windings while immobilizing one of the catheter and the device slidingly moves the other of the catheter and the device.
