Abstract
A medical system includes a medical device and an analysis system. The medical device includes a perforation device having a shaft. The shaft has a proximal portion, and an opposed distal portion. A perforating tip is associated with the distal portion. At least a first light emitter is associated with the distal portion and is positioned proximate the perforating tip for illuminating a region surrounding the perforating tip. The analysis system is for analyzing returned light that is returned towards the shaft from the region surrounding the perforating tip. The analysis system includes a light sensor configured to detect one or more parameters of the returned light, a processor configured to perform an analysis of the one or more parameters, and an alert system connected to the processor for alerting a user to a result of the analysis.
