An intraluminal guidewire system comprises a first tubular member having a
proximal end and a distal end and has a fluid containing lumen
therethrough. A medical device is coupled to the first tubular member
proximate the distal end. A slave actuating member is coupled to the
medical device and is slidably mounted proximate the distal end for
longitudinal movement with respect to the first tubular member. A master
actuating member is configured for longitudinal movement within the first
tubular member proximate the proximal end. The master actuating member is
hydraulically coupled to the slave actuating member.
