Problems solved by technology

In addition, when cauterizing is performed with the tip electrode formed with such an edge, the current density at the edge portion becomes extremely high, and there is a possibility that an abnormal temperature rise occurs in this portion, and a thrombus may form rapidly.
[0008] (2) Even if physiological saline is sprayed from the opening formed on the surface of the front-end electrode, the surface of the front-end electrode cannot be sufficiently rinsed (covered with liquid), therefore, the surface of the front-end electrode cannot be sufficiently cooled, and in addition, the surface of the front-end electrode cannot be sufficiently cooled. effectively prevent / inhibit the formation of thrombus on the surface
In particular, in the probes described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, which spray physiological saline in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the distal electrode, since the physiological saline cannot be brought into sufficient contact with the surface of the distal electrode, the electrode surface Very poor cooling effect and inhibition of thrombus formation
[0009] (3) Due to the formation of multiple openings on the electrode surface, the surface area of ​​the front electrode cannot be sufficiently ensured, and efficient ablation treatment cannot be performed
[0012] However, when the liquid is flushed from the rear end side to the surface of the front end electrode having the spherical portion, it is impossible to make the liquid contact with the electrode surface of the spherical portion located on the front side with respect to the largest diameter portion of the front end electrode (hereinafter referred to as “the front hemisphere”). surface") to fully contact
[0013] In addition, in the case where an opening for flushing liquid to the surface of the front-end electrode is formed on the front-end surface (front-end surface perpendicular to the column axis) of the probe post, the front-end electrode capable of flushing the liquid is extremely small (for example, a plurality of openings are arranged In the case of a circumference, the size accommodated inside the circumference), it is impossible to perform efficient ablation treatment with an ablation probe equipped with such a front-end electrode
[0014] On the other hand, when an opening for flushing is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the probe post, the liquid from the opening is sprayed in a direction perpendicular to the column axis and cannot be sprayed toward the tip electrode.

[0118] Figure 5 The ablation probe 105 shown has a probe post 50 having 10 sub-lumens (eight lumens 51 serving as liquid flow channels, and two lumens serving as insertion passages for pulling wires). It has a tapered front-end diameter reduction portion 50A that is tapered toward the front-end direction, and eight flushing openings 512 for flushing liquid to the surface of the front-end electrode 20 are arranged on the front-end diameter reduction portion 50A, and the front end of the probe column 50 is narrowed. Eight inclined lumens 511 are formed inside the diameter portion 50A. The eight inclined lumens 511 communicate with each of the eight inner cavities 51 (non-inclined lumens) on the rear end side, and the sides face the radially outer side of the probe column 10. The inclined side extends toward the front end and reaches each of the flushing openings 512 .
