Abstract
A method of longitudinally guiding a first elongate structure for motion along a desired motion trajectory toward a target area through reference to a second elongate structure includes a guiding frame having at least one laterally offset guiding structure. The guiding frame is selectively affixed to the first elongate structure in a predetermined relative guiding configuration. The second elongate structure is placed in a predetermined targeting relationship, correlated with the desired motion trajectory, with the target area. The second elongate structure is maintained in the predetermined targeting relationship substantially lateral to the target area. The second elongate structure is brought into a predetermined guiding relationship with the guiding portion of the guiding frame. A transitory position of the first elongate structure is laterally adjusted during motion toward the target area to maintain the second elongate structure in the predetermined guiding relationship with the guiding portion of the guiding frame.
