Abstract
A system for moving a catheter over a parked elongate tool through a lumen can include a catheter device, a proximal elongate tool device, and a distal elongate tool device. The catheter device can be engaged with the catheter device. An elongate device can be inserted through the lumen of the catheter and through the proximal elongate tool device and the distal elongate tool device. The catheter device can be configured to move proximally and distally to insert or retract the catheter. The proximal and distal elongate tool devices can be configured to walk proximally and distally along the parked elongate tool to maintain a desired spatial relationship between the catheter device and proximal and distal elongate tool devices.
