摘要：
A medical system includes a catheter and a vision probe that can be removed from the catheter and replaced with a medical probe. Functionality for the system is divided between the catheter and the vision probe. In particular, the removable vision probe can provide imaging, illumination, irrigation, and suction that may be employed before a medical probe is deployed. The catheter can include actuation and sensing structures that are useful with or necessary for both vision and medical probes. Accordingly, the catheter can maximize available space for probes and still provide all necessary functions for use of a medical probe when the vision probe is removed.
