See full text

A tool positioning system for use in a medical procedure is provided which includes a medical tool configured to be navigated to a target tool location within a portion of an organ of a patient. The medical tool includes a sheath having a tube defined by a sheath wall, the sheath extending a length in a proximal-distal direction and an inflatable balloon coupled to the sheath and configured to move along the length of the sheath in the proximal-distal direction. When the inflatable balloon is inflated at a target balloon location along the length of the sheath, the inflated balloon is fixed at the target balloon location. The tool positioning system also includes memory configured to store location of the tool in a three dimensional (3D) space and at least one processor configured to generate mapping information for displaying locations of the tool in the 3D space.
