Sympathetic nerve denervation ablation catheter system for kidneys

Abstract

The invention discloses a sympathetic nerve denervation ablation catheter system inside arteria renalis. The system comprises an ablation catheter, a guide catheter, a control handle, an ablation generator and a guide catheter control handle which can be arranged optionally. The ablation catheter comprises a catheter section and an ablation section from the near end to the far end in sequence, wherein the front end of the catheter body further comprises a controllable bending section and is connected with the control handle by the catheter body; and the ablation section comprises at least two independent structures, wherein an ablation head is arranged on at least one independent structure. With the adoption of the sympathetic nerve denervation ablation catheter system, multi-point ablation can be simultaneously achieved, so that the ablation effect is monitored during an operation in real time and mechanical stability is better.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medical device, in particular to an ablation catheter system for treating hypertension and entering into the renal artery to block the renal sympathetic nerve. Background technique [0002] Hypertension is a common clinical disease and frequently-occurring disease. According to the latest data, the number of hypertensive patients in China has exceeded 200 million, and the number of patients is increasing year by year, and the age of onset is gradually advancing. Heart, brain, kidney and other important organ complications caused by high blood pressure have a high mortality rate and disability rate, which seriously endanger human health. There are about 30 to 40 million patients with resistant hypertension in my country. In the future, with the aging of the population and the increase in obesity and diabetes, the number of patients with resistant hypertension will further increase, which will bring great benefits to society, f...

Problems solved by technology

Aiming at the problem that the ablation catheter of Ardian Company cannot perform multi-point ablation, US 2012/0116392 A1, US 2012/0029510 A1, CN 201110117776.8, CN201110327772.2 achieve multi-point simultaneous ablation by setting radio frequency ablation electrodes on multiple electrode rods respectively The purpose of CN 102198015A is to realize multi-point simultaneous ablation by installing multiple radio-frequency electrodes on a spiral electrode rod according to predetermined positions. The ablation electrode is not tightly attached to the blood vessel wall, which makes the radio frequency ablation electrode easy to move during ablation, resulting in too large ablation range and causing unnecessary damage to the patient; in order to make multiple radio frequency ablation electrodes closely adhere to the blood vessel wall at the same time, US 2012/0101413A1 adopts the scheme of setting an expansion balloon in the spiral electrode rod. By filling the balloon with liquid, the radiofrequency ablation electrode can be closely attached to the blood vessel wall, but the renal blood flow will be blocked when the balloon is expanded. If the ablation time is long, it will easily lead to renal ischemia and unnecessary complications; in order to avoid renal blood flow being blocked, US 2012/0029512 A1 replaces the balloon with a wire tennis ball, although it solves the problem of renal blood flow The problem of being bloc
