Figure 1.
The MARC catheter construction is summarized. The schematic overview (A) indicates the presence of intra-luminal lead wires that connect the distal solenoidal coil on the catheter tip to the proximal ethernet cable at the catheter hub. The latter is subsequently connected to a current source for coil activation. The relative position of the balloon to the tip mounted coil can also be appreciated. The physical device (B) is shown, with a zoomed in view of the tip (C) assembly on the Sprinter catheter.
