Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a detachable leadless pacemaker system for pacing a cardiac conduction bundle. BACKGROUND

[0002] Implanting micro devices into heart cavities is the latest diagnostic and therapeutic method in modern medicine. Micro devices in heart cavities include sensors for obtaining parameters such as heart electricity, blood pressure, blood flow, and blood biochemistry, and micro therapeutic devices for performing drug release and cardiac pacing. In order to place micro devices into heart cavities, a catheter intervention surgery is needed to deliver the devices to a specific location in the heart cavity and fix them to prevent the micro devices from shifting or falling off, causing device failure or embolism.

[0003] Cardiac pacemakers are widely used implants in the human body. Today, millions of people around the world have their normal heartbeats maintained by implanting artificial cardiac pacemakers every year. When doctors install a cardiac pacemaker for a patient, they usually place the pacemaker under the pectoral muscle and use one or more leads and electrodes to place it in the heart cavity to sense heart activity and stimulate myocardial contractions. These leads affect the opening and closing of heart valves with every heartbeat, changing the hemodynamics of the heart, and over time causing complications such as heart failure. Recently, wireless micro pacemakers have been developed internationally, which are as small as a drug capsule, eliminating the need for leads and can be placed directly in the heart cavity without affecting the opening and closing of heart valves, reducing complications, and simplifying operations. Since wireless pacemakers are small in size, they provide a new implant experience for patients and significantly reduce the infection rate of implant systems.

[0004] The implantation of wireless micro pacemakers in a predetermined location in the heart cavity and the implantation method are a new challenge. Due to the effects of heartbeat and blood flow impact, wireless micro pacemakers are prone to detach from the myocardium and shift and move within the heart cavity. It has been proven that the delivery tool of the wireless pacemaker itself is a major technical challenge, which limits the further development and popularization of this new technology.

[0005] Existing wireless micro pacemakers use a tip fixation method, such as forming a spiral metal wire or hook body at one end of the shell, which is screwed into the myocardium or hooked onto the reticular myocardial structure in the ventricle to achieve fixation. Due to the effects of heartbeat and blood flow impact, wireless micro pacemakers are prone to detach from the myocardium and shift and move within the heart cavity, causing embolism or poor contact between the electrode and the myocardium, affecting the sensing of heart electricity and the pacing effect, and the atrium lacks reticular tissue, making it impossible to achieve atrial pacing and dual chamber pacing, and the effectiveness and safety of pacing cannot be guaranteed.

[0042] The names of messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of such messages or information.

[0043] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a detachable leadless pacemaker system for pacing a cardiac conduction bundle according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The detachable leadless pacemaker system for pacing a cardiac conduction bundle can include a detachable leadless pacemaker 101 and a passive leadless pacemaker 102, which are connected through a signal line 103. The detachable leadless pacemaker 101 is arranged in a ventricle, and the passive leadless pacemaker 102 is arranged in an atrium. The detachable leadless pacemaker 101 is provided with a first data interface 1014. The passive leadless pacemaker 102 is provided with a second data interface 1025. The signal line 103 is connected with the first data interface 1014 and the second data interface 1025 respectively, so as to realize power supply of the passive leadless pacemaker 102 by the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 and data communication between the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 and the passive leadless pacemaker 102.

[0044] The detachable leadless pacemaker 101 can include a first pacemaker body and a first side wall hook electrode. A structural schematic diagram of the first pacemaker body is shown in Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of the first side wall hook electrode is shown in Figure 4 The first pacemaker body is provided with a first detachable structure 1011. The first side wall hook electrode is arranged in parallel with the first pacemaker body at a first set distance through the first detachable structure 1011. Figure 2 It can be known that the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 is implanted in the heart. The first side wall hook electrode can be inserted into the interventricular septum, so that the side of the first pacemaker body is tightly attached to the inner wall of the ventricle. When the myocardium moves, the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 can move synchronously with the myocardium (i.e., the detachable leadless pacemaker and the myocardium are relatively static).

[0045] The first pacemaker body is fixed by the first side wall hook electrode in the present application, and the first pacemaker body is tightly attached to the inner wall of the ventricle, so that the contact area of the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 in the present application and the myocardium is larger, and the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 can move synchronously with the myocardium. In this way, the stability of the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 in the ventricle is improved, and the possibility of the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 falling off is greatly reduced.

[0046] Meanwhile, the length of the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 in the present application is about 40 mm (millimeters), and the first side wall hook electrode can be inserted into the left bundle branch and the right bundle branch near the interventricular septum, and the left bundle branch and the right bundle branch are the "fast channel" of the heart signal. Therefore, the first side wall hook electrode in the present application can be more effective in pacing. Meanwhile, the first side wall hook electrode can also realize the function of collecting the electrical signal of the heart, so as to analyze the electrical signal of the heart.

[0047] The first outer shell of the first pacemaker body described in this application includes a body structure and a first detachable structure 1011 disposed at one end of the body structure. The body structure may be provided with at least one first annular electrode 1012. Figure 2 (There are four in total), and a first annular insulating member 1013 is provided between adjacent first annular electrodes 1012. The at least one first annular electrode 1012 can be equidistantly arranged. The electrode of this application has an annular structure with a large electrode contact surface, and the contact point between the first annular electrode 1012 and the myocardium can be automatically adjusted according to the position of the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 in the ventricle. This avoids repeated adjustments to the position of the detachable leadless pacemaker 101, ensuring the effectiveness of pacing.

[0048] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the first detachable structure 1011. The first detachable structure 1011 includes a first through hole 10111, a second through hole 10112, and a limiting pin 10113. The first through hole 10111 contains at least one first slot structure 10115. The second through hole 10112 passes through the first through hole 10111 in a direction perpendicular to the plane formed by the axial direction of the main body structure and the axial direction of the first through hole 10111. Typically, the diameter of the second through hole 10112 is smaller than the diameter of the first through hole 10111. The limiting pin 10113 includes a limiting post and a limiting handle. The limiting post is disposed within the second through hole 10112, and the limiting handle is exposed outside the first detachable structure 1011.

[0049] Figure 4 In the above-mentioned first sidewall hook electrode, a second housing is included, and the second housing may include a first end 1015, an electrode body and a second end 1018 arranged sequentially.

[0050] The first end 1015 is a first curved structure, including a fixing post 10151. The fixing post 10151 includes a third through hole 10152 and at least one second slot structure 10153. When the fixing post 10151 is inserted into the first through hole 10111, the at least one second slot 10153 matches the at least one first slot structure 10115, and the third through hole 10152 matches the second through hole 10112. Figure 3In the above-mentioned, the third through hole 10152 and the second through hole 10112 overlap, so that the limiting post of the limiting pin 10113 is inserted into the second through hole 10112 and the third through hole 10152. At least one second annular electrode 1016 is provided on the electrode body, and a second annular insulating member 1017 is provided between adjacent second annular electrodes 1016. The at least one second annular electrode 1016 is correspondingly provided with the at least one first annular electrode 1012, such as... Figure 1 As shown. The second end 1018 is a conical structure used for insertion into the myocardium.

[0051] The aforementioned first pacemaker body also includes internal circuitry, which is disposed within the aforementioned first housing. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the cylindrical pacemaker body. The internal circuitry includes a circuit board 101-1 and a battery 101-2. The battery 101-2 is connected to the circuit board 101-1 and supplies power to it. The circuit board 101-1 is located on the side closer to the first detachable structure 1011, and the battery 101-2 is located on the side away from the first detachable structure 1011. The circuit board 101-1 includes at least one first contact 101-3 for connecting at least one first annular electrode 1012. This allows the circuit board 101-1 to supply power to at least one first annular electrode 1012 via the at least one first contact 101-3. Typically, the battery 101-2 is heavier than the circuit board 101-1 when the leadless pacemaker 101 is mounted in the ventricle. Figure 5 When the ventricular septum is inserted downwards in the direction shown, the center of gravity of the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 is lower, which further reduces the possibility of the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 falling off the ventricular septum and improves the stability of the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 installation.

[0052] The aforementioned circuit board 101-1 may be equipped with a wireless communication module for information exchange with an external programmer. The external programmer can be placed on the body surface near the heart to establish information exchange with the wireless communication module.

[0053] The first pacemaker body further comprises at least one first electrode lead corresponding to the at least one first ring electrode 1012, the at least one first electrode lead is arranged in the first housing, one end of the first electrode lead in the at least one first electrode lead is connected to the corresponding first ring electrode 1012 in the at least one first ring electrode 1012, and the other end of the first electrode lead in the at least one first electrode lead is connected to the corresponding first contact 101-3 in the at least one first contact 101-3. In this way, the circuit board 101-1 can supply power to the first ring electrode 1012 through the first electrode lead and the first contact 101-3.

[0054] The detachable leadless pacemaker 101 of the present application is provided with a plurality of first ring electrodes 1012 and a plurality of corresponding second ring electrodes 1016. In actual use, the most reasonable one of the first ring electrodes 1012 and the second ring electrode 1016 can be selected to achieve pacing. Therefore, each group of first ring electrodes 1012 and second ring electrodes 1016 needs to be tested. Therefore, when testing a group of first ring electrodes 1012 and second ring electrodes 1016, other first ring electrodes 1012 and second ring electrodes 1016 need to be disconnected from the signal. Therefore, a first switch can be provided between the circuit board 101-1 and each of the at least one first ring electrode 1012, and the first switch is used to control the on-off between the circuit board 101-1 and the first ring electrode 1012. Similarly, a second switch is provided between the circuit board 101-1 and each of the at least one second contact 101-4, and the second switch is used to control the on-off between the circuit board 101-1 and the second contact 101-4.

[0055] The circuit board 101-1 also needs to supply power to the second ring electrode 1016 on the first side wall hook electrode. Therefore, the first detachable structure 1011 of the present application is provided with at least one second contact 101-4 near one side of the body structure, wherein the at least one second contact 101-4 is connected to the circuit board 101-1.

[0056] The aforementioned first sidewall hook electrode may further include at least one second electrode lead corresponding to the aforementioned at least one second annular electrode 1016, and the aforementioned at least one second electrode lead is disposed within the aforementioned second housing. One end of the aforementioned at least one second electrode lead is connected to the corresponding second annular electrode 1016 among the aforementioned at least one second annular electrode 1016, and the other end of the aforementioned at least one second electrode lead is disposed within the aforementioned fixing post 10151. When the aforementioned fixing post 10151 is inserted into the aforementioned first through hole 10111, the aforementioned at least one second electrode lead is connected to the corresponding second contact 101-4 among the aforementioned at least one second contact 101-4. In this way, the circuit board 101-1 provides power to the second annular electrode 1016 through the second electrode lead and the second contact 101-4.

[0057] In practice, to achieve pacing, the first ring electrode 1012 and the second ring electrode 1016 need to be connected to electrodes with different power supplies. When the first ring electrode 1012 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, the second ring electrode 1016 needs to be connected to the negative terminal. That is, the first ring electrode 1012 is connected to the first power supply terminal of the corresponding battery 101-2 on the circuit board 101-1 through the corresponding first contact 101-3, and the second ring electrode 1016 is connected to the second power supply terminal of the corresponding battery 101-2 on the circuit board 101-1 through the corresponding second contact 101-4.

[0058] The insertion of the first sidewall hook electrode into the interventricular septum inevitably damages the septal tissue. The septum itself will repair the damaged tissue, typically by covering the damaged area with a new layer of tissue. However, this new tissue can reduce or even block signal transmission between the first ring electrode 1012 and the second ring electrode 1016, resulting in a weak pacing signal or even failure to pace. Therefore, the first ring insulating member 1013 is provided with a slot matrix 1014 on the side near the first sidewall hook electrode. The slot matrix 1014 includes at least one slot for placing medication. The medication placed in the slot can slow down the formation of new tissue in the interventricular septum, ensuring normal pacing by the first ring electrode 1012 and the second ring electrode 1016. Furthermore, as described above, this application has multiple sets of first ring electrodes 1012 and second ring electrodes 1016. As long as these multiple sets of first ring electrodes 1012 and second ring electrodes 1016 are not completely covered, the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 of this application can achieve pacing. This greatly improves the effectiveness of pacing.

[0059] Depend on Figure 2 As can be seen, the first annular insulating member 1013 of this application has a large space, and various sensors can be set on the first annular insulating member 1013 according to actual needs.

[0060] In order to further improve the stability of the detachable leadless pacemaker 101, the second end 1018 of the second shell is provided with at least one first positioning structure 1019 close to one side of the first pacemaker body. The first positioning structure 1019 of the present application is as shown in Figure 4 The angle of the first positioning structure 1019 in the insertion direction is smaller than that in the exit direction, so that the first side wall hook electrode can be inserted into the interventricular septum, and the first side wall hook electrode can be clamped to avoid falling off from the interventricular septum. At the same time, the second end 1018 of the second shell exceeds the first pacemaker body, which can reduce the pressure on the installation catheter to a certain extent when the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 is implanted. When the detachable leadless pacemaker 101 enters the ventricle, the second end 1018 of the first pacemaker body usually contacts the myocardial tissue (interventricular septum or other positions) first, so as to facilitate the insertion of the myocardial tissue.

[0061] As shown in Figure 1 The passive leadless pacemaker 102 can include a second pacemaker body and a second side wall hook electrode. The structural schematic diagram of the second pacemaker body is as shown in Figure 6 The structural schematic diagram of the second side wall hook electrode is as shown in Figure 7 .

[0062] As can be seen from Figure 6 , the second pacemaker body is provided with a second detachable structure 1024, and the second side wall hook electrode is fixed to the second pacemaker body through the second detachable structure 1024. The second side wall hook electrode is arranged in parallel with the second pacemaker body at a second set distance. The second pacemaker body can further include at least one third ring electrode 1021 Figure 6 (two in the embodiment), a third ring insulating member 1022 arranged between the third ring electrodes 1021, and a hole slot 1023 arranged close to one side of the second side wall hook electrode. The second side wall hook electrode can include at least one fourth ring electrode 1027 Figure 7 (two in the embodiment), a fourth ring insulating member 1028, and a second positioning structure 1029. The fourth ring insulating member 1028 is arranged between the at least one fourth ring electrode 1027.
