Abstract: This document describes devices, systems, and methods for automatically deploying intravascular devices. For example, this document describes devices, systems, and methods for automatically deploying and controlling intravascular catheter-based devices for treating catastrophic bleeding from large and medium size vessels such as, but not limited to, the aorta or iliac arteries. In some embodiments, an operator/care giver will simply press the system against the patient's body proximate to a desired site of insertion, or will attach the system to the patient proximate to the desired site of insertion. The operator will then activate the system. Thereafter, the system will use built in imaging (e.g., ultrasound) to locate a proper insertion point and then deploy an access needle to attain vascular access. With that, the system will then automatically insert the intravascular device into the patient.
