Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Arrhythmia diseases are one of the most common heart diseases, and radiofrequency ablation interventional surgery is an effective means for treating arrhythmia diseases. In arrhythmia interventional surgery, due to the relationship of cardiac anatomy, ablation targets at some special parts are difficult to reach with current ablation catheters, which affects the treatment success rate of such heart diseases. For example, for premature ventricular contractions or ventricular tachycardia originating from above the pulmonary valve (sinus), although some patients can be ablated through the "inverted U" operation of the current ablation catheter, due to the curvature limitation of the current catheter, the bending radius of the tip of the conventional ablation catheter is too large after being bent into an "inverted U" shape, and the ventricular outflow tract of some patients is too small, so the probability that the tip of the ablation catheter can accurately reach the position is not high. In addition, for premature ventricular contractions originating from the right ventricular septum, due to the obstruction of the valve, it is also difficult to reach the position, affecting the surgical effect.

[0026] Embodiment
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , this embodiment provides an "inverted V" - shaped ablation catheter applied to a special part of the heart, including a handle 1 and a catheter 2 provided on the handle 1. One end of the catheter 2 away from the handle 1 is a bent section 3; a first pull wire 4 is arranged inside the catheter 2. One end of the first pull wire 4 is connected to the bent section 3, and the other end of the first pull wire 4 passes through the handle 1; the catheter 2, the handle 1, and the first pull wire 4 form an existing ablation catheter. An electrode is provided on the bent section 3 of the catheter 2, and the bent section 3 of the catheter 2 is used to be bent into an "inverted U" shape under the traction of the first pull wire 4.
[0028] A second pull wire 5 is arranged inside the catheter 2. The bent section 3 is provided with a bent portion 6, a connection point 8 and a sliding hole 7 are provided on the bent section 3. The connection point 8 is located between the bent portion 6 and the free end of the bent section 3, and the sliding hole 7 is located between the bent portion 6 and the handle 1; one end of the second pull wire 5 passes out of the sliding hole 7 and is connected to the connection point 8, and the other end of the second pull wire 5 passes through the handle 1. The second pull wire 5 is used to pull the bent section 3 so that the bent section 3 is bent into an "inverted V" shape.
[0029] A reset elastic member 9 is provided on the inner side wall of the bent section 3 at the position of the bent portion 6. The reset elastic member 9 can be an elastic metal sheet, a torsion spring, etc. The reset elastic member 9 is used to make the bent portion 6 rotate and reset under the elastic action.
[0030] During actual use, before pulling the first pull wire 4 and the second pull wire 5, the reset elastic member 9 of the bent portion 6 keeps the bent section 3 generally in a straight line under its own elastic force. At this time, the catheter 2 as a whole is generally in a straight line, and the catheter 2 enters a sufficient position above the pulmonary valve in the forward direction. When it is necessary to bend the bent section 3 into an "inverted U" shape, the medical staff only needs to pull the first pull wire 4, and the bent section 3 of the catheter 2 is bent into an "inverted U" shape under the traction of the first pull wire 4. When it is necessary to bend the bent section 3 into an "inverted V" shape along the bent portion 6, at this time, the medical staff needs to pull the second pull wire 5, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, under the pulling of the second pull wire 5, the bending part 6 gradually bends so that the bending section 3 is generally bent into an inverted "V" shape, which is convenient for the ablation catheter head to reach the special ablation target site, improves the reaching rate, and further improves the ablation operation effect. While the bending section 3 is bent into an inverted "V" shape, the reset elastic member 9 is bent simultaneously to store elastic potential energy. After the operation is completed, the second pull wire 5 is relaxed. At this time, under the elastic force of the reset elastic member 9, the reset elastic member 9 can be deformed and reset, and at this time, the reset elastic member 9 drives the bending section 3 to be deformed and reset along the bending part 6. At the same time, the first pull wire 4 is relaxed, so that it is convenient to pull out the catheter 2 outward.
[0031] As Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a wear-resistant ring 10 is provided at the bending section 3 and at the sliding hole 7, and the second pull wire 5 passes through the wear-resistant ring 10. The wear-resistant ring 10 can be a metal ring, so that it is convenient for the second pull wire 5 to slide along the wear-resistant ring 10, and it can also prevent the second pull wire 5 from causing frictional loss to the bending section 3 during the sliding process.
[0032] As Figures 1 - 2 shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, an adjusting sliding sleeve 11 is slidably sleeved on the outer side wall of the handle 1, and one end of the first pull wire 4 far from the bending section 3 is connected to the adjusting sliding sleeve 11.
[0033] By setting the adjusting sliding sleeve 11 in the present invention, medical staff can hold the handle 1 and slide the adjusting sliding sleeve 11 to make the adjusting sliding sleeve 11 pull the first pull wire 4 to move so that the bending section 3 bends, which is convenient to operate.
[0034] As Figures 1 - 2 shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a strip-shaped operation hole 12 is provided on the side wall of the handle 1, an adjusting dial block 13 is slidably provided on the outer side wall of the handle 1, and the width of the adjusting dial block 13 is greater than the width of the operation hole 12; one end of the second pull wire 5 far from the bending section 3 passes through the operation hole 12 and is connected to the adjusting dial block 13. The outer side of the adjusting dial block 13 is provided with anti-slip lines.
[0035] By setting the adjusting dial block 13 in the present invention, medical staff can hold the handle 1 and slide the adjusting dial block 13 to make the adjusting dial block 13 pull the second pull wire 5 to move so that the bending section 3 is bent into an inverted "V" shape, which is convenient to operate.
[0036] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present application is not limited to the details of the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present application.
[0037] Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present application is limited by the attached claims rather than the above description, so it is intended to include all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the present application.
