The present invention provides for catheter systems and methods of their use. In one embodiment, the invention provides a catheter comprising a catheter body having a proximal end, a distal end and a working lumen. A drive cable is disposed within the lumen and at least one transducer is attached to the cable near the distal end. A rotary transformer is included, comprising a transformer stator which is spaced apart from a transformer rotor. The rotor is operably attached to the cable to rotate therewith. The rotor is electrically coupled to the transducer and is magnetically coupled to the stator to allow a signal to be transmitted from the transducer to the stator during rotation of the cable.

La présente invention concerne des systèmes de cathéters et leurs procédés d'utilisation. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'invention concerne un cathéter comprenant un corps de cathéter comportant une extrémité proximale, une extrémité distale et une lumière de travail. Un câble d'entraînement est disposé dans la lumière et au moins un transducteur est fixé au câble à côté de l'extrémité distale. Le cathéter comprend un transformateur rotatif doté d'un stator de transformateur situé à distance d'un rotor de transformateur. Le rotor est fixé de manière fonctionnelle au câble pour tourner avec lui. Le rotor est électriquement couplé au transducteur et est magnétiquement couplé au stator pour permettre l'émission d'un signal du transducteur vers le stator pendant la rotation du câble.
