[0003] The main deficiency in the concept of implantation is that the structure model of defibrillation lead wires implanted through veins is similar to the
integral model structure of head, body and tail of pacing lead wires, and the defibrillation electrodes are set at The body of the electrode lead, shaped as a helically wound cylinder, rather than a sheet-like defibrillation electrode
The corresponding transvenous defibrillation electrode lead implantation method, including the
implantation site of the lead end and the
fixation method of the lead end, cannot be accurately selected, and the
perioperative complications of implantation
surgery and Long-term complications are not easy to control
[0004] The main deficiencies in the implantation technique lie in delivering the defibrillation lead from the
right atrium through the
tricuspid valve to the right
ventricular cavity, finding the ideal
implant target site in the right
ventricular cavity, readjusting and replacing the
implant The manipulative operation process such as the
target site completely depends on the operator's subjective thinking and experience accumulation, and there is no objective and accurate positioning method and corresponding auxiliary equipment to complete it accurately
[0008] (2) It is impossible to
implant large-area sheet defibrillation electrodes into the
heart chamber[0012] The consequences of large power, on the one hand, the service life of the defibrillator battery will be shortened, on the other hand, the damage to the patient will be greater during defibrillation, and the pain experienced by the patient will be greater
[0013] (3) Impossible to accurately implant the position of the defibrillation electrode
[0014] The existing transvenous defibrillation lead implantation technology has the same operation method and available tools as the pacing lead implantation technology, and has certain defects. When the defibrillation lead enters from the short sheath into the
superior vena cava or After the upper part of the
right atrium, there is no sheath delivery device that restrains and restricts the tip of the defibrillation lead from running in the
heart cavity, and there is no aiming measure. The subsequent process of implanting the tip of the defibrillation lead into the target point is completely dependent on the surgeon Man-made means of operation to achieve
However, the only tool that the surgeon can use is the guide wire that runs through the central cavity of the electrode lead, and lacks objective auxiliary tools or special instruments that can accurately control and limit the tip of the defibrillation lead.
Although the existing active fixed-tip ventricular defibrillation lead wires can be implanted at any position in the right
ventricular cavity in principle, the selection of implantation targets is still random in general, and it is impossible to achieve superselective
ventricular pacing. The tip of the defibrillation lead is implanted in a specific part of the
ventricular muscleThe position of the tip of the electrode lead cannot be accurately selected, and the position of the defibrillation electrode located on the body in the right ventricular cavity cannot be precisely positioned. Moreover, the electrode lead must maintain a low tension state in the
heart cavity so as not to be pulled pulls out of place, so, to some extent, the ventricular defibrillation electrodes are floating in the RV cavity
[0015] (4) Effective fixation of the tip of the ventricular defibrillation lead cannot be achieved
[0016] The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation operation is completed by using the existing ventricular defibrillation lead. If the defibrillation lead is passively fixed at the tip, the principle of immediate fixation after implantation is to rely on the defibrillation lead tip. The temporary containment between the barbels at the end and the trabecular
network on the concave-convex surface of the
ventricular muscle cannot achieve high-strength effective fixation. Generally, the patient is required to immobilize on the
bed for three days, and the normal activities of the
upper limb on the operated side are restricted within one month.
If the defibrillation lead is actively fixed at the tip of the implant, the principle of immediate fixation after implantation is to rely on the screw unscrewed from the tip of the defibrillation lead to fix it on the
ventricular muscle. 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
These two methods have very weak fixation strength on the tip of the defibrillation electrode lead. Whether it is implanted immediately or in the long term, there will be
dislocation or micro-
dislocation (poor contact), which may cause ICD sensing and defibrillation function. obstacle
[0017] (5) Surgical complications such as
diaphragm muscle and
phrenic nerve stimulation, cardiac perforation, and electrode displacement cannot be avoided
[0018] The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation operation completed by using the existing ventricular defibrillation electrode leads, no matter whether the implanted defibrillation electrode leads are passively fixed at the head end or actively fixed at the head end defibrillation electrode leads, due to the lack of ability to The ventricular defibrillation electrode wire with a relatively
soft body can be conveniently, accurately and safely delivered to the ideal
target site and immediately firmly fixed to the auxiliary delivery pipeline
system and control device. It is inevitable to touch the ventricular
free wall when selecting the target site. Avoid the complications of diaphragm
phrenic nerve stimulation; due to the lack of special tools to precisely manipulate the tip of the defibrillation lead after entering the
heart chamber from the outside, the only way to push the soft lead of the body is by manipulating the guide wire in the central cavity. Failure to grasp it may result in perforation of the ventricular
free wall; due to the lack of a device that can firmly fix the tip of the defibrillation electrode lead on the implanted target site immediately after implantation, short-term and long-term electrode tip contact with
myocardial tissue will inevitably occur after
surgery. Poor contact between electrodes, causing the risk of electrode
dislocation and microdislocation
[0019] (6) Unable to solve the problem that the
diameter of the electrode wire is too large
Increased
power consumption, decreased battery life, increased patient discomfort and pain
