1. A system, comprising:
an apparatus configured to cause movement of a first elongated medical device and of a second elongated medical device; and
a controller coupled to the apparatus, the controller configured to:
determine a magnitude and a direction of linear translation of the first elongated medical device, and
responsive to the determined linear translation of the first elongated medical device, control the apparatus to cause a linear translation of the second elongated medical device, the linear translation of the second elongated device having a substantially equal magnitude to the linear translation of the first elongated medical device and being in a direction opposite the direction of the linear translation of the first elongated medical device,
wherein the controller is further configured to modify at least one parameter of the linear translation of either (a) the first elongated medical device or (b) the second elongated medical device.
