Abstract
An example system includes an apparatus having a first elongated medical device and a second elongated medical device; and a controller coupled to the apparatus. The controller is provided to determine a magnitude and a direction of linear translation of the first elongated medical device and responsive to the determined translation of the first elongated medical device, cause a linear translation of the second elongated medical device, the linear translation of the second elongated device having a substantially equal magnitude to the linear translation of the first elongated medical device and being in a direction opposite the direction of translation of the first elongated medical device. The controller is further provided to modify at least one parameter of the linear translation of either (a) the first elongated medical device or (b) the second elongated medical device in response to the determined translation of the first elongated device.
