Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, if such a braided tube is used to constitute the distal end portion of the catheter shaft, the side hole for inserting the lead wire of the ring electrode is formed on the wall of the braided tube composed of resin and metal (mechanical type). or perforation processing by laser, etc.) becomes particularly difficult
[0011] In addition, it is considered that even if the side hole is formed, the metal wire that constitutes the braid on the inner peripheral surface of the side hole will be exposed, so during the manufacture and use of the electrode catheter, the lead wire of the ring electrode is in contact with the metal wire, and the structure is formed. The resin coating of the wire is damaged and the insulation of the wire is destroyed

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electrode catheter having an excellent torque transmitting performance compared to conventionally known electrode catheters. This electrode catheter is provided with a catheter shaft (10), ring-shaped electrodes (201-210), and conductive wires (301-310) for the ring-shaped electrodes (201-210). The catheter shaft (10) is configured from an inner tube (11) having a guide wire lumen (11L), and an outer tube (13) which forms a lumen (12L) through which the conductive wires (301-310) pass. The outer tube (13) comprises a braided tube reinforcedwith resin braids (135) along the entire length thereof. A distal section (101) of the catheter shaft (10) has side holes (15) in the wall of the outer tube (13), the side holes (15) being formed atpositions corresponding to the positions at which the ring-shaped electrodes (201-210) are mounted. The conductive wires (301-310) enter the lumen (12L) through the side holes (15) and extend throughthe lumen (12L).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrode catheter, and more specifically, to an electrode catheter including a catheter shaft made of a braided tube. Background technique [0002] A catheter shaft constituting an electrode catheter such as an EP catheter has a plurality of ring-shaped electrodes attached to the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion thereof. [0003] Lead wires respectively connected to the plurality of ring electrodes enter the lumen of the catheter shaft from side holes formed on the tube wall of the shaft corresponding to the installation positions of the ring electrodes and extend in the lumen, and the base ends of the wires are respectively Connected to the internally configured terminal connection of the connector on the proximal side of the catheter shaft. [0004] Conventionally, an electrode catheter is known in which a proximal end portion of a catheter shaft is formed of a resin tube (braided tube) reinforc...
