A route selection assistance system includes: a receiving section configured to receive an input of site information specifying a target site; an image obtaining section configured to obtain image information on a living body of a target patient; a route extracting section configured to extract a plurality of routes of a living body lumen; a ranking assigning section configured to assign rankings to the plurality of routes extracted by the route extracting section; and an output section configured to output the plurality of routes extracted and the rankings assigned by the ranking assigning section.

Abstract: A flushable catheter device has an outer tube with a first distal end opening to be introduced into a blood vessel and defining a first lumen. An inner tube is disposed in the first lumen with a second distal end opening proximally spaced from the first distal end opening and defining a second lumen. A space axially disposed between the end openings defines an outflow/inflow inhibiting portion which inhibits a flow of fluid out from the first lumen into the into the vessel as a result of a perfusion of a flushing fluid being supplied through the first lumen and into the second lumen.

Abstract: In a method for diagnosing, validating and treating a patient having lesions in both arteries of left and right lower limbs. By determining that a harder lesion to be treated first, catheters and an operation time can be reduced is to be treated first on a priority basis based on diagnostic data, deciding that a softer lesion is to be treated next, then treating the lesions substantially continuously.

Abstract: A diagnostic method, a diagnostic system, and a control method of a diagnostic system that can detect specific behavior of an elongated body easily and with high accuracy are provided. The diagnostic method is a diagnostic method for diagnosing the behavior of a guiding catheter having a distal end and a proximal end in a biological lumen. The diagnostic method includes inserting the guiding catheter into the biological lumen from the distal end and detecting energy that has passed through a body after irradiating the inside of the body with the energy. The diagnostic method also includes identifying the position of the guiding catheter in the body by the detected energy and comparing the identified position of the guiding catheter with an expected position and detecting specific behavior of the guiding catheter from an amount of deviation of the position of the guiding catheter with respect to the expected position.
