[0002] The main deficiency in the concept of atrial pacing electrode lead implantation in the existing permanent artificial
cardiac pacemaker installation is that the concept of the most ideal pacing
target site in the atrium has not been proposed, and there is no clear concept guidance. Therefore, the follow-up equipment cannot be matched, and the operation technology cannot be realized. Therefore, so far, there is no way to achieve atrial pacing for the most ideal target site in clinical practice.
[0003] The main
disadvantage of existing permanent artificial
cardiac pacemaker installation in the atrial pacing electrode wire implantation technology is that the artificial
cardiac pacing electrode wire is manipulated through the central cavity guide wire running through the tail of the lead body, Implantation of the head end at the target site of the
atrial septum, readjustment and replacement of the implanted target site, etc., completely rely on the operator's subjective thinking and experience accumulation, without objective and accurate positioning methods and corresponding auxiliary equipment to complete accurately
However, under our current scientific and technological conditions, the head end of the atrial pacing lead wire implanted through the
vein during the permanent artificial cardiac pacemaker installation can only be implanted into the
right atrium cavity, that is to say, it can only be directly implanted into the
right atrium. Pacing the
right atrium, while the electrical and mechanical activities of the
left atrium are first driven by the pacing of the right atrium, which is obviously not as effective as directly pacing the left atrium
With the development of science and technology so far, for direct pacing of the left atrium, the tip of the pacing lead wire implanted through the
vein can only be implanted through the coronary venous
system to pace the epicardium, and there is no one implanted through the vein. The atrial pacing lead can be used to directly pace the
left atrial endocardium[0007] (2) Large-area endocardial pacing cannot be achieved
[0009] (3) Unable to achieve superselective pacing in the earliest excited area of the atrium
[0010] Due to the relationship between the
shape design of the existing passive fixed head-end pacing electrode wire, it can only be implanted in the
right atrial appendage, and cannot be fixed in any other position in the right atrium, let alone at the junction of the
superior vena cava and the right atrium. Around the
sinoatrial node; the existing active fixed-tip pacing lead wires can be implanted at any position in the
right atrial cavity in principle, but the selection of implantation targets is still random in general, and superselective implantation cannot be achieved. The tip of the atrial pacing electrode lead is implanted in a specific part of the atrium, not to mention implanted in the earliest excited area of the atrium
[0011] (4) It is impossible to
implant a pacing electrode lead to simultaneously pace both sides of the atrium
[0012] The basic structure and tip shape characteristics of the atrial pacing lead in the existing
artificial heart pacing
system determine that implanting an atrial pacing lead can only pace one side of the atrium, and it is impossible to achieve simultaneous and synchronous start of both atria. fight
In the current feasible method, in order to achieve synchronous pacing of the left and right atrium, after implanting a pacing electrode lead in the
right atrial cavity, an additional
left atrial pacing electrode lead must be implanted. However, the
left atrial pacing electrode The
implantation site of the lead end cannot be selectively implanted in the left atrium cavity, and can only reach the target site with limited left atrial
free wall along the branches of the
coronary vein system, so only left atrial epicardial pacing can be achieved
[0013] (5) Immediate and effective fixation of the tip of the atrial pacing lead cannot be achieved
The artificial cardiac
pacemaker implantation operation completed by using the existing atrial pacing lead wire, if the implanted pacing lead lead is passively fixed at the head end, the principle of immediate fixation after implantation is to rely on the inverted
whisker at the head end of the pacing lead lead Temporary containment with the trabecular
network on the surface of the atrial
muscle in the right
atrial appendage cannot achieve high-intensity effective fixation. Generally, the patient is required to immobilize on the
bed for three days, and the strenuous activities of the
upper limb on the operated side should be restricted within one month.
If the pacing electrode lead is actively fixed at the tip of the
implant, the principle of immediate fixation is to rely on the
helix that is unscrewed from the tip of the pacing electrode lead to fix it on the atrial
muscle, and generally it will not fall off easily. Due to the limited volume of the pinned
myocardial tissue, the fixation is not firm, and the patient has to avoid normal activities of the limbs on the operated side during the
perioperative period
[0014] (6) Complications such as cardiac perforation and electrode displacement cannot be avoided
The artificial cardiac
pacemaker implantation operation completed by using the existing atrial pacing lead wires, no matter whether the implantation is passively fixing the head-end pacing lead wires or actively fixing the head-end pacing lead wires, due to the lack of ability to move the body Relatively soft atrial pacing lead wires are conveniently, accurately and safely delivered to the ideal target site. The auxiliary delivery pipeline system and control device cannot avoid contact with the atrial
free wall when selecting the target site. The only way to push the soft electrode lead in the body is by manipulating the metal wire in the central cavity. If the strength is not well grasped, it may cause the perforation of the atrial
free wall; due to the lack of the pacing lead lead Immediately after implantation, the tip can be firmly fixed on the implanted target site. Poor contact between the short-term and long-term electrode tip and
myocardial tissue is unavoidable after
surgery, resulting in the risk of electrode displacement.
