Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a medical device, in particular to a shock wave balloon dilatation catheter with a corona generator based on liquid corona discharge. Background Art

[0002] In the field of medical devices, balloon catheters are mainly used to dilate narrow blood vessels, and this treatment method has been proven to be sufficiently safe and effective. At present, balloon catheters mainly inflate balloons based on the principle of arc discharge. Arc discharge is a discharge phenomenon that forms a high-density plasma channel through a medium under high voltage. Arc discharge is a strong discharge phenomenon with the characteristics of high temperature and high current density. Arc discharge is an overall effect. The arc penetrates the medium between the electrodes to form a continuous high-temperature and high-current channel. Under a sufficiently high electric field, the liquid medium is completely broken down to form a high-density plasma channel. This process is accompanied by violent energy release and high temperature generation. The shock wave energy of arc discharge is enormous and difficult to control precisely, which may cause unforeseen damage to surrounding tissues; the shock wave effect of arc discharge is strong, and although it can quickly break up calcified plaques, it has a greater impact on surrounding vascular tissues, which may cause vascular damage or other complications; the high-energy shock wave of arc discharge may cause high-risk complications such as blood vessel rupture and thrombosis; during arc discharge, the high temperature in the arc area may spread to surrounding tissues, causing unnecessary thermal damage. The shock wave effect of arc discharge is strong at one time, making it difficult to perform multiple treatments with precise control and cumulative effects. Summary of the invention

[0033] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] In the present invention, the distal end refers to the end away from the surgical operator; the proximal end refers to the end close to the surgical operator.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention discloses a shock wave balloon dilatation catheter with a corona generator, comprising a dilatation balloon 6, an outer tube 7, and an inner tube 8, wherein the inner tube 8 is arranged in the outer tube 7 and the two are coaxially arranged, the outer diameter of the inner tube 8 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer tube 7, so that a liquid passage for passing electrolyte liquid is formed between the two, the distal end of the inner tube 8 extends out of the distal end of the outer tube 7, the proximal end of the dilatation balloon 6 is sealedly connected to the distal end of the outer tube 7, the distal end of the dilatation balloon 6 is sealedly connected to the distal end of the inner tube 7, the inner cavity of the dilatation balloon 6 is connected to the liquid passage, a corona generator is arranged in the dilatation balloon 6, the corona generator comprises at least one electrode group 1, each electrode group 1 comprises at least one first electrode 11 connected to the positive electrode wire and at least one second electrode 12 connected to the negative electrode wire, the positive electrode wire and The negative electrode wire is electrically connected to the existing power pulse generator 9 through an electrical connector. A discharge area 13 in contact with the electrolyte liquid filled in the cavity of the expansion balloon 6 is provided on the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12, so that an electric field is formed between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12. The corona generator receives the pulse electrical signal sent by the power pulse generator 9. Under the action of the pulse electrical signal, corona discharge is performed through the discharge area 13 to cause a corona reaction in the electrolyte liquid. The electrolyte liquid produces molecular ionization, and steam bubbles generated by the molecular ionization are formed at the position of the discharge area 13, and the electrolyte liquid is squeezed to increase the pressure in the expansion balloon 6, driving the expansion balloon 6 to expand radially along the inner tube 8. The first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 are fixed to the inner tube 8 by gluing or welding.

[0036] like Figure 1As shown, a PET heat shrink tube 2 may be placed between the inner tube 8 and the wire to fix the wire on the inner tube 8. Of course, the inner tube 8 and the wire may also be formed as one piece by co-extrusion.

[0037] The corona generator is placed in the electrolyte liquid; the corona generator receives the pulse electrical signal sent by the power pulse generator 9, causing the electrolyte liquid to undergo a corona reaction, causing the liquid to produce molecular ionization; the plasma generated by the molecular ionization vaporizes the surrounding liquid at high temperature to produce steam bubbles; as the ionization reaction continues, the volume of the steam bubbles continues to expand and squeeze the surrounding liquid environment. Due to the non-squeezable nature of the liquid, the internal pressure of the expansion balloon 6 is forced to increase instantly, driving the expansion balloon 6 to expand radially (such as Fig.10 The time of the ionization reaction is determined by the setting pulse signal duration and pulse width parameters.

[0038] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, exposed areas connected to the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 are provided on the positive and negative electrode wires, and the remaining areas of the positive and negative electrode wires are wrapped with insulating layers. The positive and negative electrode wires can be provided with metal electrode sleeves 3 along the exposed areas of the inner tube. The metal electrode sleeves 3 are flat and are connected and fixed to the exposed areas by gluing or pressing, so that the metal electrode sleeves 3 are tightly connected to the exposed areas. The metal electrode sleeves 3 are connected and fixed to the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 by welding.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the present invention, the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 are ring-shaped, specifically circular ring-shaped, Figure 4 and Figure 5 Taking the first electrode 11 as an example, a groove 14 is formed on the inner wall edge of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12, and the metal electrode sleeve 3 is welded on the groove 14. Specifically, the overall size of the groove 14 can be smaller than the overall size of the metal electrode sleeve 3, so as to form a contact position on the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 that can be welded with the metal electrode sleeve 3. Figure 4 and Figure 5 At the position of “X” shown in FIG. 1 , the metal electrode sleeve 3 is connected with the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 .

[0040] In the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the outer walls of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12, the first insulating layer 4 and the second insulating layer 5 are respectively provided at other positions except the discharge area 13 to expose the discharge area 13 and insulate the other positions, so that the electrodes receive the pulse electrical signals sent by the power pulse generator 9 and form a directional electric field between the electrodes.

[0041] As the first electrode group structure of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, at least one first through hole 111 is provided on the first electrode 11, and at least one second through hole 121 is provided on the second electrode 12. The first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 respectively constitute a discharge area 13. The first insulating layer 4 completely covers the first electrode 11 except the first through hole 111, and the second insulating layer 5 completely covers the second electrode 12 except the second through hole 121, so that the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 receive the pulse electric signal sent by the power pulse generator 9, and form a directional electric field between the electrodes, so that the electrolyte liquid undergoes a corona reaction under the action of the pulse electric signal. The potential distribution direction of this electrode group structure is relatively concentrated, which is conducive to reducing the heating phenomenon, the electron passing path is relatively concentrated, the resistance is relatively large, the current is reduced, the safety is increased, and it is conducive to the steady-state symmetrical pressurization inside the balloon, so that the expanded balloon expands uniformly as a whole.

[0042] The first insulating layer 4 and the second insulating layer 5 can reduce the contact area between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 and the electrolyte liquid, and release the charge in the controlled discharge area 13 .

[0043] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first through hole 111 is symmetrically arranged on the first electrode 11, and the second through hole 121 is symmetrically arranged on the second electrode 12. The two first through holes 111 and the two second through holes 121 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the metal electrode sleeve can be arranged at any position of the inner ring wall of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12.

[0044] In this embodiment, the interval between the first through hole 111 on the first electrode 11 and the second through hole 121 on the adjacent second electrode 12 is set to be 4-8 mm.

[0045] from Figure 6 It can be seen that the electric field formed in this embodiment forms two regions of electric field between the two through holes opposite to each other of the two electrodes, from the second through hole 121 of the second electrode 12 toward the first through hole 111 of the first electrode 11, causing the electrolyte liquid to undergo a corona reaction under the action of the pulse electric signal.

[0046] When the first electrode group forms an electric field, the generated steam bubbles are distributed at the positions of the first through holes 111 and the second through holes 121 .

[0047] As the second electrode group structure of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, the first insulating layer 4 and the second insulating layer 5 are not wrapped around the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12, so as to realize an omnidirectional electric field. Figure 7 The process of corona discharge from the second electrode 12 to the first electrode 11 is simulated, and the electric field is divergent and has a wider range.

[0048] When the second electrode group forms an electric field, the generated steam bubbles are evenly distributed around the periphery of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 .

[0049] The second electrode group structure can release charges outward over the largest area, forming a larger current and steam bubbles. The charge distribution is more dispersed. Under the same excitation conditions, the pulse energy is larger, the bubble expansion volume is larger, the inside of the balloon applies greater pressure outward, and the outward expansion force is stronger. It is suitable for thicker and stubborn calcifications.

[0050] As the third electrode group structure of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, the annular edges at one end opposite to the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 form a discharge region 13, the first insulating layer 4 completely covers the first through hole 111 except the annular edge, and the second insulating layer 5 completely covers the second electrode 12 except the annular edge, so as to form an electric field between the opposite sides of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12.

[0051] like Figure 8 As shown, since the discharge area 13 is in the shape of a ring, it will generate an electric field in the circumferential direction.

[0052] When the electric field is formed at the third electrode group, steam bubbles are generated at the annular edges surrounding the opposite sides of the two electrodes.

[0053] The third electrode group structure has the shortest potential direction path, which can cause steam bubbles to be generated between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12. The steam bubbles are largest at the midpoint between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12. The generated force is transmitted outward from between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12, and a large combined force for outward expansion is generated between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12.

[0054] As the fourth electrode group structure of the present invention, Fig. 9 As shown, the annular edge at one end of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 that are away from each other forms a discharge region 13, the first insulating layer 4 completely covers the first through hole 111 except the annular edge, and the second insulating layer 5 completely covers the second electrode 12 except the annular edge, so as to form an electric field between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 that are away from each other.

[0055] like Fig. 9 As shown, since the discharge region 13 is located at a position far away from the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12, the directional electric field formed by it is farther than the directional electric fields of the first and third electrode group structures.

[0056] When the fourth electrode group forms an electric field, steam bubbles are generated around the annular edges of the two electrodes facing away from each other. The potential direction path of the fourth electrode group structure is the farthest, and the force generated moves from the boundary of the expansion balloon toward the center. The expansion balloon starts to expand outward preferentially from the proximal and distal ends. This discharge method can reduce the local concentration of the electric field, make the electric field distribution around the balloon more balanced, and is conducive to more stable energy transfer. At the same time, the preferential expansion of both sides of the balloon can make the balloon expand more evenly, reduce the phenomenon of uneven local expansion of the balloon, and help the balloon maintain a better shape and stability during the expansion process.

[0057] In the present invention, the electrode group is made of high temperature resistant materials such as 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel or tungsten alloy; the material can withstand the high temperature plasma thermal erosion generated during the corona discharge process while meeting the requirements of excellent conductivity; the electrode group is set with a spacing to prevent arcing between electrodes and causing breakdown discharge, and the spacing needs to be filled with electrolyte liquid to form a conductive path environment. Under certain parameters, the longer the spacing, the greater the resistance of the conductive path, and the smaller the path current formed.

[0058] Fig.10 The bubbles generated by the corona discharge of the first electrode group structure are shown, which are concentrated at the first through hole 111 of the first electrode 11 and the second through hole 121 of the second electrode 12. As the electrode power-on process continues, the steam bubbles will continue to grow until they push the expansion balloon 6 to expand, thereby completing the treatment.

[0059] like Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown in the figure, among the four electrode group structures mentioned above, the first one is defined as A, the second one is defined as B, the third one is defined as C, and the fourth one is defined as D. It can be seen from the figure that in the first electrode group structure, the area of ​​the discharge region is 0.002mm 2 , the length of the electron path is 4.6mm, the current value is 7A, and the total area of ​​the discharge area is 0.23mm for the second electrode group structure. 2 , the current value is 20A, and the area of ​​the discharge area is 0.132mm when the third electrode group structure is used. 2 , the length of the electron path is 4mm, the current value is about 15A, and the area of ​​the discharge area is 0.132mm for the fourth electrode group structure 2 , the length of the electron path is 9.2mm and the current value is 10A.

[0060] like Fig.13 and Fig.14As shown, when the corona generator includes a group of electrode groups, the electrode group includes a first electrode 11 and a second electrode 12, the first electrode 11 is connected to the positive electrode of the power pulse generator 9, and the second electrode 12 is connected to the negative electrode of the power pulse generator 9, the two electrodes receive the pulse electrical signal of the power pulse generator 9, and form an electric field between the discharge areas of the electrodes, and the electrolyte liquid undergoes a corona reaction under the action of the pulse electrical signal.

[0061] like Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, when the corona generator includes a group of electrode groups, the electrode group includes two first electrodes 11 and one second electrode 12, and the second electrode 12 is arranged between the two first electrodes 11 with equal spacing; wherein the two first electrodes 11 are connected to the positive electrode of the power pulse generator 9, and the second electrode 11 is connected to the negative electrode of the power pulse generator 9; the two first electrodes 11 and the second electrode 12 receive the pulse electrical signal sent by the power pulse generator 9, and form an electric field between the discharge areas of the two electrodes, so that the electrolyte liquid undergoes a corona reaction under the action of the pulse electrical signal.

[0062] like Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, when the corona generator includes two groups of electrode groups, one of the electrode groups includes two first electrodes 11 and one second electrode 12, and the other electrode group includes a first electrode 11 and a second electrode 12: in one electrode group 1 with three electrodes, the second electrode 12 is arranged between the two first electrodes 11, and the electrodes of the two electrode groups are arranged at equal distances; wherein, the three first electrodes 11 are connected to the positive electrode of the power pulse generator 9, and the two second electrodes 12 are connected to the negative electrode of the power pulse generator 9; the two electrode groups 1 receive the pulse electrical signal sent by the power pulse generator 4, and form an electric field between their respective electrodes, so that the electrolyte liquid undergoes a corona reaction under the action of the pulse electrical signal; preferably, the first electrodes 11 and the second electrodes 12 in the two electrode groups are arranged alternately.

[0063] like Fig.14 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, one end of the capacitor C in the power pulse generator 9 is electrically connected to the IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor), and the IGBT is divided into two paths, one path is electrically connected to one end of the first resistor R1, and the other path is electrically connected to the relay group K, and the relay group K is electrically connected to the first electrode 11 as the positive electrode; the other end of the first resistor R1 and the other end of the capacitor C are respectively electrically connected to one end of the second resistor R2, and the other end of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected to the second electrode 12.

[0064] Capacitor C stores high-voltage charges, and the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 are respectively the working loads at both ends of the relay group K to protect the circuit safety; when the high-voltage charge needs to be released to the electrode, the circuit is opened and closed by the cooperation of IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) and relay group K. When one of the switches of relay group K is closed, the IGBT is turned on, and the high-voltage charge stored in capacitor C is released through the connecting circuit to form a high-voltage pulse; when corona needs to be generated between multiple pairs of electrodes simultaneously or sequentially, multiple energy storage capacitors and multiple relays are coordinated to manage the circuit opening and closing.

[0065] The power pulse generator 9 can set the voltage value (1000-8000V) in the circuit and the time pulse width value (1-200us) of releasing the charge.

[0066] The present invention can be used to treat vascular stenosis and calcification. When in use, under the guidance of imaging, the shock wave balloon dilatation catheter (balloon dilatation catheter) is introduced into the target site, i.e., the target blood vessel segment, through the guide wire; when the dilatation balloon 6 is not filled with electrolyte solution, the balloon dilatation catheter can smoothly pass through the stenosis and calcification area; when the balloon dilatation catheter reaches the target position, the electrolyte liquid is filled into the dilatation balloon 6 through the catheter system (catheter) to a preset pressure, so that it adheres to the blood vessel wall, ensuring that the dilatation balloon 6 is in full contact with the lesion area, and applying pulsed high voltage, such as Fig.10 As shown, the corona generator generates corona discharge, and the corona discharge phenomenon causes the electrolyte liquid to generate steam bubbles, squeeze the electrolyte liquid, and increase the pressure in the expansion balloon 6, and then transmit the pressure to the target site, break up the calcified material and expand the blood vessel cavity; according to the degree of the lesion and the treatment needs, multiple corona discharges can be performed to ensure that the lesion site is completely cleared. After each discharge, the expansion balloon 6 can be slightly discharged to change its diameter, and the position of the balloon expansion catheter is adjusted to cover the entire lesion area. After the treatment is completed, the internal liquid is drained, the expansion balloon 6 is retracted, and the balloon expansion catheter is withdrawn from the body. Imaging examinations are performed after the operation to confirm that the blood vessels are unobstructed, thereby achieving a good therapeutic effect; this solution can effectively break up the calcium in the calcified lesions in the blood vessels through the controllable instantaneous radial expansion of the balloon, and prepare for the subsequent treatment of the blood vessels. Because it is an arc discharge process, the high temperature in the arc area will spread to the surrounding tissues, causing unnecessary thermal damage, and the present invention uses corona discharge, which significantly improves the effectiveness, safety, ease of operation, reusability and precise control during the interventional treatment of calcified blood vessels.
