A system is provided for precise stent deployment in synchronization with the cardiac cycle. The system comprises a cable set having a first connector for connection to a source of a signal that is indicative of the status of the cardiac cycle, and a second connector for connection to a processor. A processor is provided for converting cardiac cycle data into a control signal for controlling inflation of a balloon catheter such that the balloon catheter reaches inflation at a point within the range of from about 55% to about 85% into the R-R interval. An inflation pump is provided, for inflating a balloon responsive to the control signal. A third connector is provided in communication with the inflation pump, for releasable connection to a balloon catheter. The system may also comprise a balloon catheter, in communication with the inflation pump via the third connector. |
