Abstract

A catheter device (11) that is useable to penetrate from a blood vessel in which the catheter device (11) is positioned to a target location, comprises a flexible catheter advanced into the blood vessel, a tissue penetrator (85) which is useable to penetrate from the blood vessel to the target location when properly aimed. Further said catheter includes an imaging transducer (81) fixedly mounted on or within the catheter body (13) to provide an imaging signal from which an image of the target location can be obtained. The catheter device (11) may include an imaged marker (101) on the catheter to form on the image obtainable from the imaging signal a penetrator path indication that indicates the path that will be followed by the tissue penetrator when the tissue penetrator (85) exits from the catheter (11). Alternatively, or in addition thereto, the imaging transducer (81) may comprise a plurality of imaging elements.
