Abstract: A method for placing a stent is disclosed herein. The method includes obtaining a first pre-acquired image of a patient taken at a first orientation, and obtaining a second pre-acquired image of the patient taken at a second orientation. The method also includes navigating a catheter toward a predetermined location after obtaining the first pre-acquired image and the second pre-acquired image. Navigating a catheter includes estimating the position of the catheter, and conveying the estimated position of the catheter by superimposing a graphical representation of the catheter onto the first pre-acquired image and the second pre-acquired image. The method for placing a stent also includes releasing the stent from the catheter after the catheter reaches the predetermined location. A corresponding system for placing a stent is also provided.
