Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an ablation microcatheter. Background Art
[0002] Cardiac catheter ablation is a procedure that uses a catheter to be inserted through the groin or neck area. Electrodes at the tip of the catheter help doctors detect electrophysiological properties and determine the location of abnormal electrical signals. Once the exact location is determined, doctors can deliver energy through the catheter to ablate the local area.
[0003] Catheter ablation technology has been widely used in the clinical ablation of various arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions, and ventricular tachycardia. With the deepening of the understanding of the mechanism of arrhythmias and the continuous improvement of ablation devices, the success rate of catheter ablation of arrhythmias has been significantly improved. However, due to the limitations of ablation devices currently on the market, the success rate of ablation of some arrhythmias is limited. The most prominent performance is the catheter ablation treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions, and ventricular tachycardia.
[0004] First, in recent years, it has been found that the Marshall vein plays an important role in the occurrence and maintenance of persistent atrial fibrillation. The Marshall vein is one of the triggering foci of atrial fibrillation; there is a rich distribution of autonomic nerves on the Marshall vein / ligament; it plays an auxiliary role in the isolation of the left pulmonary vein and the linear block of the mitral isthmus. At present, most of the clinical ablation of the corresponding area is achieved through alcohol perfusion of the Marshall vein, but this method still has limitations: 1. During the ablation process, the determination that the Marshall vein is the triggering foci of atrial fibrillation is based on indirect evidence, and there is no direct evidence to determine the accurate mechanism. 2. Alcohol perfusion of the Marshall vein is non-selective, and the damaged myocardium is closely related to the distribution of the Marshall vein and its branch vessels. The process of alcohol perfusion is uncontrollable, while microcatheter can achieve precise ablation. 3. There is communication between the Marshall vein and the left atrium and even the superior vena cava. During the perfusion process, alcohol entering these parts can damage the endothelium and increase the risk of thrombosis.
[0005] To this end, ablation catheters are available on the market that use electrode rings to generate high-voltage pulse energy to the target tissue to achieve effective ablation. The rigid electrode rings and rigid wires are bonded together by welding. The positions of the electrode rings and the wires in the catheter are relatively fixed after assembly. However, during actual clinical use, in order to enable the ablation catheter to adapt to the patient's vascular shape and the different locations to be reached in various shapes, the handle end of the ablation catheter is controlled to make the head end pipeline bend into different shapes, which is bound to bring different degrees of bending effects to different electrode rings of the head end pipeline. Since the electrode and the wire are connected by welding, the electrode ring and the wire are likely to fall off from each other after multiple bendings, and the ablation catheter will lose its original function after falling off.

[0032] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an ablation microcatheter that can improve the structural strength of the inner tube.
[0033] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an ablation microcatheter shown in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of the electrode ring; Figure 6 It is a structural diagram of the driving mechanism.
[0035] See also Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The ablation microcatheter includes a base 1, an inner tube 2, an outer tube 4, a plurality of electrode rings 5, a terminal 6, a flexible circuit belt 9 and a driving mechanism 10. The base 1 is provided with an inner cavity, through which a contrast agent, a guide wire or other detection equipment can pass. The inner tube 2 is connected to the inner cavity, and when a guide wire is needed, the guide wire can be extended from the inner cavity into the inner tube 2; when a contrast agent needs to be introduced into the inner tube 2, the contrast agent can flow from the inner cavity into the inner tube 2.
[0036] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the connection between the electrode sheet and the electrode ring.
[0037] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 The flexible circuit belt is outside the inner tube 2. The flexible circuit belt 9 includes an adhesive layer 91, an adhesive layer 92 and a plurality of electrode sheets 93. The adhesive layer 91 and the adhesive layer 92 are adhered to each other. The adhesive layer 91 and the adhesive layer 92 are both made of insulating materials. The adhesive layer 91 is located on the side of the adhesive layer 92 facing the inner tube. A plurality of electrode sheets 93 are distributed at intervals on the side of the adhesive layer 92 facing away from the adhesive layer 91. The adhesive layer 91 extends along the axial spiral of the inner tube 2. The adhesive layer 92 extends along the axial spiral of the inner tube 2. The electrode sheets 93 are attached to the surface of the adhesive layer 92. The electrode sheets extend along the axial spiral of the inner tube 2. When the inner tube 2 bends, the electrode sheets 93 will also bend accordingly. Since two adjacent electrode sheets 93 are spaced apart, no short circuit will occur between the two adjacent electrode sheets 93. The outer tube 4 is made of a polymer material. The outer tube 4 is sleeved outside the inner tube 2. The flexible circuit belt is located inside the outer tube 4. The outer tube 4 can protect the flexible circuit belt 9.
[0038] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A is an enlarged schematic diagram; Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of a flexible circuit ribbon.
[0039] See also Figure 1-5, multiple electrode rings 5 are sleeved outside the outer tube 4 at intervals along the axial direction of the outer tube 4, the number of electrode rings 5 corresponds to the number of electrode sheets 93, the lengths of any two electrode sheets 93 are inconsistent, and each electrode ring 5 is electrically connected to only one of the electrode sheets 93.

At this time, the electrode sheet 93 no longer continues to extend along the axial direction of the inner tube 2, and the remaining electrode sheets 93 continue to extend along the axial direction of the inner tube 2 until they reach the corresponding electrode ring 5. When the electrode is needed for ablation, the electrode will be energized, and an electric field will be formed between two adjacent electrodes, wherein different electric field strengths will be obtained by changing the voltage or the distance from the electrode. The material of the electrode ring 5 can be any suitable metal material, and the commonly used material is a platinum-iridium alloy or gold material electrode. Different electrode spacing and polarity combinations are designed according to actual needs. The electrode ring 5 passage can withstand a voltage of 4000V. Once the target catheter is positioned, the tail end is connected to the pulse transmitter and the high-voltage pulse energy can be effectively transmitted to the target tissue through the front electrode ring 5 to achieve effective ablation. The end 6 is connected to the end of the inner tube 2 away from the base 1. The end 6 is made of soft material. The inner diameter of the end 6 can be selected to fit a common coronary guidewire of 0.014". The end 6 can prevent the ablation microcatheter from puncturing the blood vessel when it is inserted into the blood vessel.
[0040] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the driving mechanism is mounted on the base 1, and the driving mechanism drives the inner tube 2 to bend. The driving mechanism 10 includes a pull wire 101, a slider 102, and a push handle 103. One end of the pull wire 101 is connected to the terminal 6, and the other end of the pull wire 101 is fixed to the base 1 through a lock. The slider 102 is fixed to the push handle 103, and the slider 102 is fixed to the outer tube 4. The push handle 103 can move relative to the base 1. When the user pushes the push handle 103 toward the terminal 6, the outer tube 4 and the inner tube 2 will bend, so that the outer tube 4 can be stretched in a winding manner in the blood vessel.
[0041] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The ablation microcatheter also includes a connector 7 and a connecting tube 8. The two ends of the connecting tube 8 are connected to the connector 7 and the base 1 respectively, and one end of the electrode sheet is electrically connected to the connector 7. The connector 7 can be connected to a multi-channel instrument or other instrument with the same function. The electrode ring 5 can simultaneously record in real time and transmit electrical signals to the connector 7 through the electrode sheet. The connector 7 displays the potential of the part where the electrode ring 5 is in contact in real time through an external instrument to help the operator judge the ablation situation.
[0042] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5The flexible circuit belt 9 also includes a reinforcement layer 94, the number of reinforcement layers 94 corresponds to the number of electrode sheets 93, the reinforcement layer 94 is wound on the outer surface of the outer tube 4, one end of the reinforcement layer 94 passes through the outer tube 4 and is connected to the electrode sheet 93, the reinforcement layer 94 and the electrode sheet 93 are an integral structure, the reinforcement layer 94 is made of a long strip of metal sheet, the metal sheet is wound around the outer surface of the outer tube for several turns to form the reinforcement layer 94, the electrode ring 5 is against the reinforcement layer 94 and wraps the reinforcement layer 94, the electrode ring 5 is electrically connected to the reinforcement layer 94, the electrode ring 5 is in large-area contact with the reinforcement layer 94, the electrode ring 5 is ensured to be in close contact with the reinforcement layer 94, and the electrode ring 5 and the electrode sheet 93 have good conductivity.
[0043] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 The ablation microcatheter also includes a support tube 3. The inner tube 2 is made of a polymer material. The support tube 3 is sleeved on the outside of the inner tube 2. The support tube 3 may or may not be in contact with the inner tube 2. The support tube 3 is used to reinforce the inner tube 2, thereby improving the strength of the ablation microcatheter at the position where the inner tube 2 is located, and avoiding the ablation microcatheter from breaking when the ablation microcatheter is bent and stretched in the blood vessel. The outer tube 4 is sleeved on the outside of the support tube 3. Specifically, the outer tube 4 is attached to the outer surface of the support tube 3. The inner tube 2, the outer tube 4, and the support tube 3 can add an adjustable bending function. The adjustable bending design can be similar to the existing ten-level adjustable bending mapping catheter. The operator can operate the distal electrode ring 5 part through the handle to reach the target position to achieve a better adhesion effect. The reinforcement layer 94 passes through the support tube 3 and the outer tube 4 from the electrode sheet in sequence to the outer surface of the outer tube 4, wherein the reinforcement layer 94 and the support tube 3 need to be insulated. Specifically, the side of the reinforcement layer 94 facing the support tube can be coated with insulating paint. See Figure 5 In this embodiment, the flexible circuit tape is attached to the outside of the inner tube 2 through the adhesive layer 91. When the flexible circuit tape 9 is wound on the outer surface of the inner tube 2, the surface of the electrode sheet 93 needs to be insulated to prevent the electrode sheet 93 from short-circuiting with the support tube 3. In other embodiments, the flexible circuit tape 9 is attached to the outside of the support tube 3 through the adhesive layer 91.

When used, liquids such as contrast agents can be injected into the infusion cavity, and then ablation is achieved. At the same time, the contrast agent flows out of the liquid outlet and is infused around the electrode ring 5. The contrast agent can be physiological saline. Figure 1-3 In some embodiments, the hardness of one end of the support tube 3 close to the end 6 gradually decreases toward the end 6, and the distal end of the support tube 3 can be made gradually soft by mechanical processing, so that the support tube 3 can be bent in the blood vessel while ensuring sufficient strength, so that it can be stretched in a complex blood vessel. The support tube 3 is made of stainless steel, nickel-titanium alloy or polymer material, and the polymer material can be peek material.
[0048] See also Figure 1-2 In some embodiments, the hardness of the terminal 6 gradually decreases in the direction away from the inner tube 2, so that the end of the terminal 6 is soft enough to reduce the risk of puncturing the blood vessel when the terminal 6 is inserted into the blood vessel. Preferably, the terminal 6 can be made of a developing material, and when the terminal 6 is inserted into the blood vessel, the position of the terminal 6 and the inner tube 2 can be understood by taking X-rays.
