Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bile duct medical devices, and in particular to a lithotripsy basket catheter with a lithotripsy balloon. Background Art

[0002] Common bile duct stones are a common and frequently occurring disease in my country. Stones blocking the common bile duct may induce complications such as acute cholangitis, obstructive jaundice, and acute biliary pancreatitis, with symptoms such as chills, fever, abdominal pain, and jaundice. In severe cases, it may even lead to shock. Long-term stone stimulation may lead to the risk of bile duct cancer, making it an important disease that endangers human health. Treatment options for common bile duct stones include open biliary exploration and stone removal, laparoscopic biliary exploration and stone removal, endoscopic retrograde pancreaticocholangiopancreatography (ERCP) stone removal, percutaneous transhepatic bile duct puncture (PTCD) + fistula dilation + percutaneous transhepatic choledochoscopy (PTCS) stone removal, and duodenal papilla balloon dilatation stone removal via PTCD.

[0003] For patients who are old, have multiple underlying diseases, have cardiopulmonary dysfunction, have a history of upper gastrointestinal surgery, etc. and are not suitable for biliary exploration or ERCP, PTCD via duodenal papilla balloon dilatation or PTCS lithotripsy is often used. For common bile duct stones with a diameter of more than 1.5 cm, this treatment plan has the following shortcomings: 1. Using a balloon with a diameter of more than 1.5 cm for duodenal papillary sphincter balloon dilatation is prone to short-term complications such as papillary laceration and bleeding, acute pancreatitis, and perforation, as well as long-term complications such as reflux cholangitis, stone recurrence, and bile duct cancer; 2. Before PTCS surgery, the fistula needs to be dilated before the choledochoscope can enter the common bile duct. Repeated dilatation of the fistula in one operation is prone to complications such as fistula laceration, bleeding, and liver abscess; multiple operations to dilate the fistula have a lower risk, but the total cost is high, the course of the disease is long, and patients who carry an external bile duct drainage tube for a long time have poor medical compliance and are difficult to care for; 3. PTCS stone removal requires the use of a choledochoscope, and the cost of choledochoscope equipment is relatively high, and general hospitals do not have choledochoscope equipment.

[0004] For patients who are elderly, have multiple underlying diseases, or have cardiopulmonary dysfunction and are not suitable for general anesthesia bile duct exploration surgery, ERCP lithotripsy is often used. First, the papillary sphincterotomy and balloon dilatation are performed, and then the stone is dragged into the common bile duct using a lithotripsy balloon. However, for giant common bile duct stones with a diameter of more than 1.5 cm, ERCP-assisted mechanical lithotripsy with a basket or lithotripsy under direct vision with SpyGlass is used. The above-mentioned technical tips have the following shortcomings: 1. Large papillary sphincterotomy and large balloon papillary dilatation are risky before complete stone removal. Short-term complications such as papillary bleeding, acute pancreatitis, and perforation are prone to occur during the perioperative period, as well as long-term complications such as reflux cholangitis, early recurrence of stones, and cholangitis; 2. Giant common bile duct stones often cause common bile duct obstruction. Due to the narrow space, it is difficult to remove giant common bile duct stones by inserting a lithotripsy basket through ERCP; 3. The efficiency of mechanical lithotripsy with a basket is low, and some of the stones are hard. Cholesterol stones are difficult to be crushed by the basket; 4. If the stones cannot be crushed after being taken out, and if the stones cannot be discharged through the basket, the lithotripsy basket cannot be removed, and general anesthesia biliary exploration surgery is the only option, which is risky; 5. Lithotripsy under direct vision via ERCP with SpyGlass is a new technology that has been recently developed. It has a high lithotripsy efficiency and low complications, but the cost of SpyGlass instruments and consumables is extremely high. Ordinary hospitals have not developed this technology, and ordinary families cannot afford the huge high cost of treatment. Summary of the invention
