Embodiment Construction

[0024] The ablation device consists directly of a catheter whose dimensions allow it to be used in this type of procedure, or inserted in any known and suitable type of introduction catheter.

[0025] like figure 1 As shown, in particular, the device comprises a soft body 1 that acts as a catheter and has a soft and flexible end piece 2 adapted to pass through the leaflets of the calcified native valve and positioned at the site where the calcified material is to be removed. Above the portion, the end piece is engageable with a guide wire g. The end piece 2 has at least one cutting system 3 installed in combination with a vacuum suction device 4 . The end piece 2 is additionally equipped with adjustable guide means 5 adapted to engage calcified tissue during an ablation operation performed by the cutting system 3 and to create a helical path effect on said end piece 2 .

[0026] As indicated in the following description, ablation of tissue is performed along a helical trajec...

Abstract

A transcatheter device for ablation of calcified tissue at the leaflets of an aortic valve, characterized in that it comprises a flexible body (1) which acts as a catheter and has a soft and flexible end A piece (2) that engages a previously inserted guide wire (g) adapted to pass through the leaflets of the valve over the portion of the calcified tissue that needs to be removed, said end piece (2) having at least one cutting system (3) comprising two motorized rotating cutting heads (3a) and (3b) coaxially arranged one above the other, the head (3a) being located at the end piece end, and for the first removal of calcified tissue, has a configuration suitable for rough cutting by grinding, while the other head (3b) has a configuration for fine cutting by grinding, said cutting system is combined with vacuum suction (4) Installed in combination, said end piece (2) is equipped with an adjustable guide (5) adapted to interact with calcified tissue during the ablation operation performed by said cutting system (3) engagement and create a helical path effect on the end piece.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to surgery and interventional cardiology, and in particular, to transcatheter devices for ablation of calcified tissue, especially heart valves. Background technique [0002] It is well known that severe disease of the aortic valve is mainly due to degenerative calcification of the valve, which increases with age. Therefore, when the valve becomes extremely narrow and clinical symptoms appear, surgical intervention is required to replace the valve or to implant the valve by transcatheter approach, known by the acronym TAVI. [0003] It has been found that implantation of an aortic valve through TAVI through a calcified aortic valve often results in paravalvular leak when the concentration of calcium nuclei is too high and out of balance. These leaks can have an impact on the patient's life expectancy. Another complication due to the presence of calcium during TAVI is embolism, which can cause coronary embolism, infarctio...
