Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the structural design of medical devices for the treatment of ventricular septal hypertrophy of the heart, and particularly relates to a cardiac ablation needle. Background Art
[0002] Ventricular septal thickening refers to the thickening of the myocardium in the ventricular septum between the left ventricle and the right ventricle. For the hypertrophy of the ventricular septum, it can be seen in physiological conditions, such as athletes and people who often exercise, who often show thickening of the ventricular septum and thickening of the left ventricle. In addition, it can also be seen in pathological conditions, commonly in hypertensive heart disease caused by hypertension, with left ventricular hypertrophy of the ventricular septum. For primary myocardial diseases, such as patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, patients can also show hypertrophy of the ventricular septum.
[0003] In the prior art, there are drug treatment, open-chest surgery treatment, and ablation needle treatment. Among these three methods, especially ablation needle treatment has advantages. It can not only achieve the effect, but also cause less trauma to the patient, which is beneficial to the patient's timely recovery.
[0004] However, in the prior art, in order to ensure the ablation effect, the ablation needle is usually generally limited between 9 mm and 16 mm, and a larger ablation range cannot be guaranteed. The hypertrophic area of the ventricular septum in some patients reaches 40 mm, and the ablation effect cannot be achieved at one time. However, when adjusting the position of the ablation needle, under the action of ultrasonic imaging, the position of the ablation needle cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, only by multiple puncture methods can the purpose of multiple ablation be achieved, causing secondary trauma to the patient.
[0005] Thus, it can be seen that in the prior art, for patients with a larger size of ventricular septal hypertrophy, the cardiac ablation needle cannot meet the requirement of accurately adjusting the position of the ablation needle after one ablation to achieve the effect of multiple ablation.

[0081] The cardiac ablation needle of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the embodiments of the present invention.
[0082] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0083] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific implementation modes and are not intended to limit the exemplary implementation modes according to the present application. As used herein, unless otherwise clearly specified in the context, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "include" and / or "comprise" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or their combinations.
[0084] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description, claims and the above-mentioned drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described here can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0085] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above", "over", "on the upper surface", "upper" etc. can be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature shown in the figure with other devices or features. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, the device described as "above" or "over" other devices or structures will then be positioned "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both the orientations of "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the corresponding explanations are made for the spatial relative descriptions used here.
[0086] As Figures 1-9 shown, the cardiac ablation needle includes an outer catheter 1 that provides a through-channel for the electrode needle body 2 for ablation and an electrode needle body 2 that mainly functions for ablation. The electrode needle body 2 is disposed through the inner cavity of the outer catheter 1.
[0087] The distal end of the electrode needle body 2 extends out of the outer catheter 1 to meet the ablation effect on the hypertrophic part of the cardiac ventricular septum.
[0088] Ultrasound is very sensitive to gas. During ultrasound imaging, if there is a gas-containing part, it can be shown very clearly.
[0089] To ensure the ablation effect and the supporting and assisting effect on the ablation needle, the size of the electrode needle extending out of the outer catheter is generally limited between 9 mm and 16 mm. However, for a large proportion of patients with hypertrophic ventricular septum of the heart, the involved area is relatively large, even completely covering the entire ventricular septum (about 40 mm). To achieve the effect of a single treatment, during the ablation process, it is necessary to adjust the position of the electrode needle to expand the ablation area of a single treatment and avoid secondary harm to the patient. However, due to the relatively long size of the entire ablation needle and the imaging position being set at the end of the outer catheter 1, during the process of adjusting the position of the ablation needle, the position of the ablation site of the ablation needle cannot be ultrasonically displayed, increasing the surgical difficulty.
[0090] To solve the problem that during the ablation process, due to the relatively large ablation area and the size of the ablation site of the ablation needle not being too large, it is necessary to conveniently observe the position of the ablation needle during the process of adjusting the position of the ablation needle.
[0091] A cavity 3 is provided in the middle of the electrode needle body 2, and a discharge hole 4 is provided at the distal end of the electrode needle body 2. The other end of the discharge hole 4 communicates with the cavity 3, and hydrogen peroxide is injected inside the cavity 3.
[0092] The hydrogen peroxide can be a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water according to different surgical requirements. The temperature of the hydrogen peroxide can also be set to different values according to different requirements.
[0093] By controlling the temperature of the hydrogen peroxide introduced into the cavity, the temperature control effect on the non-ablation part of the electrode needle body 2 is achieved. Secondly, through the discharge hole 4, the oxygen and water generated by the reduction of hydrogen peroxide can be discharged, forming a certain gas space at the ablation site. Since ultrasound is very sensitive to gas, the position of the gas can be observed by ultrasound, and then the position of the ablation site of the ablation needle can be judged to ensure the accuracy of the ablation position.
[0094] Furthermore, to ensure that during the discharge process of the discharge hole 4, the hydrogen peroxide can undergo a complete oxidation-reduction reaction (since during the flow process in the ablation needle cavity, the electrode needle body heats the hydrogen peroxide and a partial oxidation-reduction reaction has occurred), the length of the discharge hole 4 is increased and the flow rate is reduced to ensure a complete oxidation-reduction reaction and meet the requirement that only gas enters the ventricular septum position.
[0095] The overall structure of the discharge hole 4 is in a bent shape to extend the length of the discharge hole 4.
[0096] Furthermore, to reduce the pressure of the discharge hole 4 and extend the length of the discharge hole 4 to ensure a sufficient oxidation-reduction reaction of the hydrogen peroxide. As Figure 2As shown, the discharge hole 4 includes: a plurality of axial holes 41 and a plurality of radial holes 42. The plurality of axial holes 41 and the plurality of radial holes 42 are sequentially connected in a conducting manner (preferably, integrally formed) to form the discharge hole 4. In order to further increase the number of the axial holes 41 and the radial holes 42 and extend the overall length of the discharge hole 4. The axial holes 41 are parallel to the length direction of the electrode needle body 2, and the flow directions of the media inside the radial holes 42 are all towards the proximal end of the electrode needle body 2. So that during the process of the media flowing through the radial holes 42, the flow direction of the media is towards the proximal end of the ablation needle, which can meet the requirement of reducing the buffer flow rate and can also extend the length of the entire discharge hole 4 to ensure the complete redox reaction of hydrogen peroxide.
[0097] In order to facilitate the control of the pressure of hydrogen peroxide and can fully supply hydrogen peroxide to ensure the cooling effect on the non-ablation part of the ablation needle and avoid burning the patient's tissue. The cavity 3 of the ablation needle body 2 at least includes two cavities. One cavity injects hydrogen peroxide, and one cavity discharges hydrogen peroxide. The discharge hole 4 extends into the intersection of the two cavities.
[0098] By connecting pressure control devices to the two cavities respectively, the pressure inside the cavity 3 is ensured, especially in the discharge cavity, a negative pressure state can be selected (during the redox reaction of hydrogen peroxide, the volume becomes larger, avoiding injecting too much gas into the interventricular septum), so as to ensure the amount of gas injected into the interventricular septum and ensure the safety of the operation.
[0099] In order to facilitate the setting of the two cavities, a discharge pipe 5 is arranged inside the cavity 3, and a through hole 51 is opened through the discharge pipe 5 at the end of the cavity 3 to make the inside of the discharge pipe 5 communicate with the inside of the cavity 3. Ensure that the discharge pipe 5 is in a negative pressure state (or a positive pressure state with a small pressure) of a set value to meet the requirement of controlling the amount of gas entering the interventricular septum.
[0100] Of course, in order to facilitate the connection with the cavity 3 and the control of the gas pressure entering the discharge hole 4. The end of the discharge pipe 5 is hermetically connected to the bottom of the cavity 3, the discharge hole 4 extends into the inside of the discharge pipe 5, and a negative pressure control device 52 is arranged at one end of the discharge pipe 5 extending out of the cavity 3.
[0101] In order to facilitate the sealed connection of the discharge pipe 5 and ensure that the hydrogen peroxide flows through the through hole 51 during the flowing process. A ring groove is opened at the end of the cavity 3, the size of the ring groove is adapted to the size of the end of the discharge pipe 5, the discharge pipe 5 is hermetically inserted into the inside of the ring groove, and the end of the discharge hole 4 is opened at the center of the ring groove; the position of the discharge pipe 5 can be restricted by setting the position of the ring groove to ensure that there can be a uniform cavity around the discharge pipe 5 to meet the cooling effect of hydrogen peroxide on the ablation needle body 2 and ensure the safety of using the ablation needle.
[0102] To ensure the conduction between the interior of the cavity and the discharge pipe 5 and limit the flow rate into the discharge pipe 5, a plurality of through holes 51 are evenly formed through the outer wall of the discharge pipe 5. This enables the presence of uniform hydrogen peroxide in the discharge pipe 5, which can uniformly cool the electrode needle body 2.
[0103] When adjusting the position of the electrode needle 2, if it can only be adjusted in the axial direction of the electrode needle body, the ablation area of the ablation needle is severely restricted. Especially for the ventricular septum, which is usually hypertrophied in a circular area. If ablation is only performed at the center, the ablation effect cannot fully achieve the expected result. Therefore, to enable the ablation needle to also adjust its position in the radial direction and increase the ablation space. The electrode needle body 2 includes: an ablation part 21 that mainly functions for ablation and a conduction part 22 that conducts hydrogen peroxide. The conduction part 22 and the ablation part 21 are integrally formed, and the end of the conduction part 22 is integrally formed and connected to the ablation part 21. The ablation part 21 has a flat blade-like structure. The flat direction of this flat blade is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the ventricular septum. When the position needs to be adjusted, the blade can cut the ventricular septum, facilitating the adjustment of different positions and increasing the ablation area per single ablation. Since the adjustment area is relatively narrow and the human body has a certain flexibility, the puncture position of the ablation needle on the skin does not need to be adjusted, which can satisfy the adjustment of the position of the ablation part 21 and improve the ablation effect.
[0104] To better satisfy the determination of the position of the ablation part 21 and ensure that during the process of adjusting the position of the ablation needle, it can be smoothly carried out under ultrasonic observation to ensure the safety of the operation. The discharge hole 4 extends out from the distal end of the conduction part 22, and an extension tube 43 is connected to the distal end of the conduction part 22. The lower bottom surface of the extension tube 43 is fixedly attached to the ablation part 21, and the length of the extension tube 43 is less than the length of the ablation part 21;
[0105] The end of the extension tube 43 is provided with a release hole. This ensures that the gas discharged along the discharge hole 4 is at the middle position of the ablation part 21, enabling more accurate observation of the position of the ablation part 21, improving the accuracy of adjusting the position of the ablation needle during the operation, and enhancing the quality effect.
[0106] To facilitate the holding of the ablation needle, the cardiac ablation needle further includes: an operating handle 6, and the proximal ends of the outer sheath tube 1 and the electrode needle body 2 are respectively connected to the operating handle 6.
[0107] To enable the smooth separation between the electrode needle body 2 and the outer sheath tube 1 and provide a channel for the outer sheath tube 1, such as for sampling with a sampling needle, to avoid secondary injury to the patient. A connection head 11 is provided at the proximal end of the outer sheath tube 1, and a limiting notch is formed at the front end of the operating handle 6. The connection head 11 is connected in a limited manner inside the limiting notch to ensure the separable connection between the electrode needle body 2 and the outer sheath tube 1.
[0108] The inner wall of the limiting notch is a polygonal structure, and the outer wall of the connecting head 11 is a polygonal structure (with a relatively large number of sides, for example, the width of each side is 1 mm or 0.5 mm, adapting to a relatively small rotation angle, which can satisfy the connection with the connecting head 11).
[0109] To facilitate the limiting effect on the electrode needle body 2 and also satisfy the rotation and axial telescopic adjustment of the electrode needle body 2. A sliding head 23 is provided at the proximal end of the electrode needle body 2, and a sliding notch 61 is opened at the tail end of the operating handle 6. The electrode needle body 2 passes through the operating handle 6 and extends into the sliding notch 61, and the sliding head 23 is slidably connected in the sliding notch 61 in a limited way (it can be pulled out and rotated when rotating, and the telescopic adjustment can be made in the axial direction). By adjusting the position of the axis of the electrode needle body 2 and rotating the angle of the electrode needle body 2, it is ensured that the edge direction of the flat edge structure of the ablation part 21 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the interventricular septum, preparing for the subsequent adjustment of the position of the ablation part 21.
[0110] To facilitate the adjustment and control of the axis of the electrode needle body 2. The cardiac ablation needle further includes: a sliding control device 7 for adjusting the axis of the electrode needle body 2. The sliding control device 7 is arranged in the middle of the operating handle 6. One end of the sliding control device 7 extends into the operating handle 6 and is connected to the electrode needle body 2, so that the sliding control device 7 drives the electrode needle body 2 to expand and contract. It satisfies the telescopic adjustment of the electrode needle body 2 in the axial direction, and after the adjustment is completed, the position of the electrode needle body 2 is limited by the sliding control device 7 to ensure the ablation operation of the electrode needle body 2.
[0111] To facilitate the telescopic control of the electrode needle body 2 by the sliding control device 7 in the axial direction and limit the electrode needle body 2 at a fixed position after adjusting the position. The sliding control device 7 includes: a pressing member 71 for pressing and controlling, a connecting member 72 for connecting and driving, and a driving cylinder 73 for driving the electrode needle body 2.
[0112] The driving cylinder 73 is rotatably and limitably connected to the electrode needle body 2 (a certain rotation angle is sufficient. Since the initial set angle of the electrode needle body 2 is within a predetermined range during the doctor's puncture process, only fine adjustment is required). The connecting member 72 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the driving cylinder 73. The connecting member 72 extends into the pressing member 71. By driving the connecting member 72 through the pressing member 71, the connecting member 72 drives the driving cylinder 73, and the driving cylinder 73 drives the electrode needle body 2 to realize the expansion and contraction of the electrode needle body 2.
[0113] To facilitate the connection with the electrode needle body 2 and also satisfy the control effect on the electrode needle body 2. A through hole 62 is opened inside the operating handle 6, the electrode needle body 2 is arranged through the through hole 62, limiting cavities 63 are opened on both sides above the through hole 62, and a plurality of limiting arc grooves 64 are opened on the upper wall of the limiting cavity 63.

[0116] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the electrode needle body 2, by pressing the pressing member 71, the resilient member 74 is compressed and contracted, and the limiting member 75 follows the pressing member 71 to move down. When the limiting member 75 disengages from the arc groove 64, the electrode needle body 2 can be driven to expand and contract by pushing the pressing member 71.
