DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example
[0020] like Figure 1 - Figure 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a balloon catheter capable of automatically adjusting the expansion force according to the degree of blood vessel stenosis, comprising: an inner tube 1, a balloon component 2, an outer tube component 3, a controller 4, and an adjustable pressure air supply source 6.
[0021] The inner tube 1 is a central tube, which is designed with different structures according to different surgical requirements, for example, a whole exchange balloon, a quick exchange balloon, a balloon with a fixed guidewire, an infusion balloon, etc. The balloon component 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the inner tube 1. The balloon component 2 is made of elastic material. The balloon component 2 is close to the first end of the inner tube 1. An inflation expansion space is formed between the inner side of the balloon component 2 and the outer side of the inner tube 1. When gas (or liquid) is filled into the inflation expansion space, the balloon component 2 expands elastically, and the balloon component 2 presses against the inner wall of the blood vessel to the outside, and the balloon component 2 exerts an expansion force on the inner wall of the blood vessel.
[0022] The degree of stenosis of blood vessels of different users / different parts of the same user is different, and the size of the expansion required by the balloon component 2 is different; it is obviously impossible to accurately control the expansion force exerted by the balloon component 2 on the inner wall of the blood vessel by only relying on the set standard air supply pressure. The gas filled in the balloon component 2 needs to overcome the contraction elasticity of the balloon component 2 itself. The size of the contraction elasticity of the balloon component 2 itself is related to the size of the expansion of the balloon component 2 itself, and the inner wall of the blood vessel exerts a squeezing force on the balloon component 2, so it is very difficult for the surgeon to stabilize the expansion force of the balloon component 2 on the blood vessel, and it takes a long time of experience to barely control it.
[0023] Preferably, the required expansion size of the bladder component can be determined by the following process: S11. Obtain basic characteristics of multiple historical patients, characteristics of diseased blood vessels (e.g., location, diameter, degree of stenosis, etc.), characteristics of vascular stents (e.g., material characteristics, structural characteristics (e.g., diameter, length, etc.), etc.), and optimal expansion size, wherein the basic characteristics may include the age, gender, medical history (e.g., previous surgical history, medication history, etc.), vital signs (e.g., body temperature, pulse, respiratory rate, blood pressure, etc.), and blood tests (e.g., blood routine, blood sugar, blood lipids, liver and kidney function, etc.) of the historical patients, and the characteristics of diseased blood vessels may be determined by imaging examinations such as X-ray, CT (Computed Tomography), and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging); S12, obtaining the basic characteristics of the current patient, the characteristics of the diseased blood vessels, and the characteristics of the vascular stent; S13. For each historical patient, based on the basic characteristics, diseased vessel characteristics, and vascular stent characteristics of the historical patient and the basic characteristics, diseased vessel characteristics, and vascular stent characteristics of the current patient, calculate the feature similarity between the historical patient and the current patient; S14, when the feature similarity is greater than the feature similarity threshold, the historical patient is regarded as a similar historical patient; S15. Determine the optimal expansion size for the current patient based on the optimal expansion sizes corresponding to similar historical patients.
[0024] Preferably, the feature similarity between the historical patient and the current patient can be calculated based on the following formula: in, is the feature similarity between the i-th historical patient and the current patient, is the cosine similarity between the basic features of the i-th historical patient and the current patient, is the preset parameter, greater than 0, is the g-th diseased vessel feature of the i-th historical patient, is the g-th diseased vessel feature of the current patient, is the total number of diseased vascular features, is the hth feature of the vascular stent of the i-th historical patient, is the hth feature of the current patient’s vascular stent, is the preset parameter, greater than 0, , and is the preset weight, , and are greater than 0, .
[0025] The optimal expansion size discrete parameters can be calculated based on the optimal expansion size corresponding to similar historical patients: in, is the optimal expansion size discrete parameter, is the optimal expansion size corresponding to the kth similar history patient, The total number of historical patients similar to the current patient.
[0026] When the optimal expansion size discrete parameter is less than the optimal expansion size discrete parameter threshold, the optimal expansion size of the current patient can be calculated based on the following formula: in, The optimal expansion size for the current patient.
[0027] When the optimal expansion size discrete parameter is greater than or equal to the optimal expansion size discrete parameter threshold, the optimal expansion size of the current patient can be calculated based on the following formula: in, , , , , and All are multivariate nonlinear regression coefficients.
[0028] The elasticity of the current patient's blood vessels can be predicted through the squeeze force prediction model based on the current patient's basic characteristics and diseased blood vessel characteristics, wherein the parameter determination model can be a convolutional neural network (CNN) model. The better the elasticity of the blood vessel wall, the more it can deform under a smaller expansion force. The elasticity of the blood vessel wall may vary from patient to patient, and needs to be adjusted according to actual conditions. Lesions of the blood vessel wall (such as arteriosclerosis, calcification, etc.) will change its mechanical properties, causing the expansion force to be different in different patients or in different vascular sites of the same patient.
[0029] After determining the optimal expansion size and vascular elasticity of the current patient, the optimal expansion speed and optimal expansion duration of the current patient can be calculated through a parameter determination model based on the diseased vascular characteristics of the current patient, the elasticity of the blood vessels, the optimal expansion size and the characteristics of the balloon catheter (for example, material characteristics, size characteristics, etc.), wherein the parameter determination model can be a convolutional neural network model.
[0030] The optimal expansion force of the current patient is determined by the expansion force determination model based on the optimal expansion size, vascular elasticity, optimal expansion speed and optimal expansion duration of the current patient, wherein the expansion force determination model can be a convolutional neural network model. The magnitude of the optimal expansion force of the current patient depends on multiple factors, including but not limited to: the expansion degree of the balloon component: the larger the balloon component expands, the greater the expansion force it exerts on the vascular wall; the material and design of the balloon component: balloon components of different materials and designs may exhibit different mechanical properties when expanded, such as hardness, elasticity, etc., which directly affect the magnitude of the expansion force; the elasticity of the vascular wall: the better the elasticity of the vascular wall, the easier it is to deform under a smaller expansion force; on the contrary, a vascular wall with poor elasticity requires a larger expansion force to produce the same deformation; the pathological condition of the vascular wall: the pathological condition of the vascular wall (such as arteriosclerosis, calcification, etc.) will change its mechanical properties, so that the expansion force is different in different patients or different vascular sites of the same patient; the expansion speed and duration: a faster expansion speed may cause greater impact and damage to the vascular wall, while a longer period of continuous expansion may gradually adapt the vascular wall and reduce the required expansion force.
[0031] By comprehensively considering the similarities between the data of historical patients (including basic characteristics, lesion vessel characteristics and vascular stent characteristics) and the current patient, the optimal expansion size of the current patient can be predicted and determined more accurately. This personalized treatment strategy can significantly improve the success rate of surgery and the treatment effect of patients. Based on the analysis and comparison of relevant data of historical patients, excessive or insufficient expansion can be avoided, thereby reducing the risk of surgical complications. For example, excessive expansion may cause vascular rupture, while insufficient expansion may not effectively relieve vascular stenosis. After determining the optimal expansion size, the parameter determination model is further used to calculate the optimal expansion speed and duration, as well as the optimal expansion force. The optimization of these parameters can ensure that the surgical process is smoother and more controllable, reducing trauma and discomfort to patients. Through automated and intelligent prediction and calculation, doctors can obtain more comprehensive information before surgery, so as to make decisions faster, shorten the operation time and improve the efficiency of surgery. Traditionally, doctors need to rely on experience and intuition to determine surgical parameters, which often involves great subjectivity and uncertainty. By introducing data analysis and machine learning models, this process can reduce human errors and improve the objectivity and accuracy of decision-making. Through accurate prediction and personalized treatment, unnecessary waste of medical resources can be reduced, such as reducing the need for secondary surgery or long-term treatment due to surgical failure.
[0032] The outer tube component 3 is arranged on the outside of the inner tube 1, and the first end of the outer tube component 3 is connected to the inflation expansion space. The second end of the outer tube component 3 is located between the middle of the inner tube 1 and the second end of the inner tube 1, so as not to hinder the positioning of one end of the balloon catheter into the blood vessel. The second end of the outer tube component 3 is set as an air inlet, and air is taken in from the air inlet at the second end of the outer tube component 3. The gas passes through the airway in the outer tube component 3 and enters the inflation expansion space formed between the inner side of the sac component 2 and the outer side of the inner tube 1. The air inlet of the outer tube component 3 is connected to a pipeline flow monitor 5, and the pipeline flow monitor 5 is used to measure the flow data Q (t) entering the inflation expansion space formed between the inner side of the sac component 2 and the outer side of the inner tube 1.
[0033] The adjustable pressure gas supply source 6 supplies gas to the inflation expansion space through the pipeline flow monitor 5 and the outer tube component 3. The pipeline flow monitor 5 is connected to the controller 4 for communication. The pipeline flow monitor 5 transmits the detected data to the controller 4. The adjustable pressure gas supply source 6 is connected to the controller 4 for communication. The controller 4 controls the adjustable pressure gas supply source 6 to adjust the gas supply pressure.
[0034] The adjustable pressure gas supply source 6 supplies gas to the inflation expansion space through the pipeline flow monitor 5 and the outer tube component 3. The pipeline flow monitor 5 can obtain the flow data Q (t). After data processing, the gas volume Vx inside the inflation expansion space at the current moment, that is, the expansion size of the balloon component, can be obtained, and then the inflation pressure Px can be appropriately controlled, so as to stably adjust the expansion force of the balloon catheter and ensure the safety of vascular surgery.
[0035] Specifically, the controller 4 receives the flow data Q(t) measured by the pipeline flow monitor 5 , and controls the gas supply pressure of the adjustable pressure gas supply source 6 after data processing.
[0036] The controller 4 internally stores a (Fn, Pn, Vn) database, wherein Fn represents the expansion force, Pn represents the gas supply pressure of the adjustable pressure gas supply source 6, and Vn represents the gas volume inside the inflation expansion space.
[0037] The (Fn, Pn, Vn) database is obtained from laboratory experiments: for example, in an experiment within a simulated blood vessel with an adjustable inner diameter, a pressure sensor is designed within the simulated blood vessel with an adjustable inner diameter, the expansion force Fa measured by the pressure sensor is kept unchanged, and then a group of (Fa, P1, V1) is measured, and then the inner diameter of the simulated blood vessel is adjusted, and another group of (Fa, P2, V2) is measured, thereby obtaining several groups of data, and then another expansion force Fb is determined to be unchanged, and then a group of (Fb, P1, V1) is measured, and then the inner diameter of the simulated blood vessel is adjusted, and another group of (Fb, P2, V2) is measured, thereby obtaining several groups of data, thereby obtaining the (Fn, Pn, Vn) database. The operator inputs the required expansion force Fx into the controller 4 (Fx should be an expansion force existing in the database). The data processing unit inside the controller 4 integrates the flow data Q(t) measured by the pipeline flow monitor 5 to obtain the gas volume Vx inside the inflation expansion space at the current moment, and consults the (Fn, Pn, Vn) database to obtain Px. Then, the controller 4 controls the gas supply pressure of the adjustable pressure gas supply source 6 to Px.
[0038] Among them, (Fx, Px, Vx) is one set of data in the (Fn, Pn, Vn) database.
[0039] Since Px is obtained by querying the (Fn, Pn, Vn) database, the gas volume Vx inside the inflation expansion space at the current moment is an arbitrary value. Here, a set of data closest to Vx in the (Fx, Pn, Vn) database can be selected.
[0040] As a preferred method, a multivariate nonlinear model corresponding to the balloon catheter required for the current patient can also be established based on the (Fn, Pn, Vn) database, wherein the dependent variable of the multivariate nonlinear model corresponding to the balloon catheter required for the current patient is the air supply pressure, and the independent variables of the multivariate nonlinear model corresponding to the balloon catheter required for the current patient include the expansion force and the gas volume inside the inflated expansion space. The expansion force and the gas volume inside the inflated expansion space are brought into the multivariate nonlinear model corresponding to the balloon catheter required for the current patient to obtain the air supply pressure, and then the controller 4 controls the air supply pressure of the adjustable pressure air supply source 6 to be Px.
[0041] The controller 4 is a computer, and the corresponding database and reference program are imported into the computer to realize the above control function.

[0044] When the elastic sac layer 201 expands, the transition parts at both ends of the elastic sac layer 201 open outward, so that the tensioning belt 203 is tightened, and the tensioning belt 203 is pushed outward in a linear structure. When the outer side of the sac component 2 is partially obstructed, the tensioning belt 203 can exert an expansion force well, and the elastic cushion layer 202 disperses the force of the tensioning belt 203 squeezing outward to avoid causing vascular damage.

The first blocking ring 302 and the second blocking ring 305 can stabilize the outer tube body 301 and prevent the outer tube body 301 and the inner tube 1 from rotating relative to each other.

The marking member may be a metal ring, and the existing image detection equipment may be used to detect the location of the bladder component 2 in the human body.
