The systems and methods described herein provide for a forward looking guidewire having a reduced radial cross-section for increased maneuverability and use of the guidewire within more narrow vasculature. The guidewire can include an elongate tubular member having a distal region, proximal region and inner lumen and a forward looking imaging device coupled with the distal end of the guidewire. The distal region of the guidewire can be relatively more flexible than the proximal region. The guidewire can also include a second, side looking imaging device, which can be coupled around a longitudinal portion of the guidewire in the radial or proximal regions.
L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés mettant en oeuvre un fil-guide à balayage frontal comprenant une section transversale radiale réduite en vue d'une manoeuvrabilité améliorée, ainsi que l'utilisation de ce fil-guide dans un système vasculaire plus étroit. Ce fil-guide peut comprendre un élément tubulaire allongé possédant une zone distale, une zone proximale et une lumière intérieure, ainsi qu'un dispositif d'imagerie à balayage frontal couplé à l'extrémité distale du fil-guide. La zone distale du fil-guide peut être relativement plus souple que la zone proximale. Ce fil-guide peut également comprendre un second dispositif d'imagerie à balayage latéral pouvant être couplé autour d'une partie longitudinale du fil-guide dans les zones radiale ou proximale.
