Abstract
The endovascular navigation system includes an elongate flexible member configured to access the venous vasculature of a patient, a sensor disposed at a distal end of the elongate flexible member and configured to sense a physiological characteristic of the venous vasculature, a processor and an output device. The processor is configured to receive and process the physiological characteristic of the venous vasculature, and to determine that the position of the distal end of the elongate flexible member is within a predetermined structure within the venous vasculature. The output device is configured to display a visual indication that the distal end of the elongate flexible member is within the predetermined structure within the venous vasculature, where the visual indication is different from the physiological characteristic of the venous vasculature of the patient.
