Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to an impact wave generating device for cardiovascular stenosis. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cardiovascular stenosis refers to the deposition of lipid in the inner membrane of the smooth blood vessels due to abnormal lipid metabolism, which gradually accumulates into a lipid plaque, and with time, the plaque increases and even calcifies, causing stenosis of the blood vessel lumen, blocking blood flow, and leading to ischemia of the downstream blood vessels and the body, resulting in corresponding clinical manifestations. If the stenosis occurs in the coronary artery, it can cause palpitations, chest pain, dyspnea, and angina pectoris, and in severe cases, it can lead to myocardial ischemia or myocardial necrosis. If it occurs in the periphery, it can cause a decrease in skin temperature, muscle atrophy, and intermittent claudication, even leading to necrosis or amputation of the distal extremities. If it occurs in the intracranial, it can cause dizziness, syncope, and even brain damage and brain dysfunction.

[0003] To solve the problem of blood vessel injury caused by simple high-pressure balloon pre-expansion, such as dissection, blood vessel stress fracture, and broken hole, a device capable of generating shock waves has appeared, which reshapes and reopens the atherosclerotic or calcified lesions of the stenosis lesion. This method generates shock waves by emitting ultrasound into a balloon filled with fluid medium, forming cavitation bubbles at the electrode, and then generating shock waves, which impact the calcified area to crush the calcified lesions.

[0004] For example, the disclosed Chinese patent CN104619272B9 adopts an energy-controlled shock wave catheter system, which includes a catheter containing a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode are arranged to receive a high voltage at an initial low current therebetween. The high voltage forms an electric arc between the electrodes, generates gas bubbles in the fluid, a large current flowing through the electrodes, and a mechanical shock wave. The power supply provides a high voltage at an initial current to the electrodes and terminates the high voltage in response to the large current flowing through the electrodes. The patent controls the energy applied to the electrodes of the electric arc shock wave generator by measuring the change in current passing between the electrodes. However, it is found in actual use that the stability of a single current detection is poor, and once the current detection circuit fails, the normal completion of the detection control cannot be ensured.
