Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an ablation microcatheter. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cardiac catheter ablation technology is to insert a catheter through the groin or neck area. The electrode at the tip of the catheter can help doctors detect electrophysiological characteristics and determine the location of abnormal electrical signals. Once the precise location is determined, the doctor 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 contraction, and ventricular tachycardia. With the deepening understanding of arrhythmia mechanisms and the continuous improvement of ablation devices, the success rate of catheter ablation of arrhythmias has been significantly improved, but due to the limitations of ablation devices 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 and premature ventricular contraction / ventricular tachycardia.
[0004] First, in recent years, it has been found that Marshall vein plays an important role in the mechanism of the occurrence and maintenance of persistent atrial fibrillation. Marshall vein is one of the trigger sites of atrial fibrillation; there is a rich distribution of autonomic nerves on Marshall vein / ligament; isolation of the left pulmonary vein and linear block of the mitral valve isthmus play an auxiliary role. At present, most of the clinical ablation of the corresponding area is achieved by Marshall vein alcohol infusion, but this method still has limitations: 1. In the process of ablation, the determination of Marshall vein as the trigger site of atrial fibrillation is based on indirect evidence, and there is no direct evidence to determine the accurate mechanism. 2. Marshall vein alcohol infusion is non-selective, and the damaged myocardium and the distribution of Marshall vein and its branch vessels are closely related. The process of alcohol infusion is uncontrollable, while the microcatheter can achieve precise ablation. 3. Marshall vein is in communication with the left atrium, and even the superior vena cava. During the infusion process, alcohol enters these parts and can damage the endothelium, increasing the risk of thrombosis.
[0005] Therefore, there are ablation catheters on the market that use electrode rings to generate high-voltage pulse energy to the target tissue to achieve effective ablation. The rigid electrode ring and the rigid wire are bonded together by welding. Since the position of the electrode ring and the wire in the catheter is relatively fixed after assembly, however, in the actual clinical use process, in order to make the ablation catheter adapt to the shape of the patient's blood vessels and reach different positions in various shapes, the handle end of the ablation catheter is controlled to bend the head end pipe into different shapes, which will inevitably bring different degrees of bending effect to the different electrode rings of the head end pipe. Since the electrode and the wire are connected by welding, after repeated bending, the electrode ring and the wire are easily separated from each other, and the ablation catheter after separation will lose its original function.

[0032] To solve the above problems, the present application provides an ablation microcatheter, which can improve the structural strength of the inner tube.
[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the ablation microcatheter shown in the embodiments of this application; Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the electrode ring; Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the drive mechanism.

The inner tube 2 is connected to the inner lumen; when a guide wire is needed, it can be inserted into the inner tube 2 from the inner lumen; when contrast agents need to be introduced into the inner tube 2, they can flow into the inner tube 2 from the inner lumen.
[0036] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the connection between the electrode sheet and the electrode ring.
[0037] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 The flexible circuit strip 9 is located outside the inner tube 2. It includes an adhesive layer 91, an attachment layer 92, and multiple electrode pieces 93. The adhesive layer 91 and the attachment layer 92 are bonded together and are both made of insulating material. The adhesive layer 91 is located on the side of the attachment layer 92 facing the inner tube. Multiple electrode pieces 93 are spaced apart on the side of the attachment layer 92 facing away from the adhesive layer 91. The adhesive layer 91 extends spirally along the axial direction of the inner tube 2, and the attachment layer 92 also extends spirally along the axial direction of the inner tube 2. The electrode pieces 93 are attached to the surface of the attachment layer 92 and extend spirally along the axial direction of the inner tube 2. When the inner tube 2 bends, the electrode pieces 93 also bend accordingly. Because adjacent electrode pieces 93 are spaced apart, short circuits will not occur between adjacent electrode pieces 93. The outer tube 4 is made of polymer material and is fitted outside the inner tube 2. The flexible circuit strip is located inside the outer tube 4, which protects the flexible circuit strip 9.

The end head 6 is connected to the end of the inner tube 2 away from the base 1, the end head 6 is made of soft material, the inner diameter of the end head 6 can be selected to match a commonly used coronary guide wire with a diameter of 0.014", and the end head 6 can prevent the ablation microcatheter from injuring the blood vessel when the ablation microcatheter is inserted into the blood vessel.
[0040] Referring to Figure 6 In some embodiments, a 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 sliding block 102 and a push handle 103, one end of the pull wire 101 is connected with the end head 6, the other end of the pull wire 101 is fixed to the base 1 through a lock buckle, the sliding block 102 and the push handle 103 are fixed, the sliding block 102 is fixed with the outer tube 4, and the push handle 103 can move relative to the base 1.

[0042] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5The flexible circuit strip 9 further comprises reinforcing layers 94, the number of the reinforcing layers 94 corresponds to the number of the electrode pieces 93, the reinforcing layers 94 are wound on the outer surface of the outer tube 4, one end of the reinforcing layer 94 passes through the outer tube 4 and is connected with the electrode piece 93, the reinforcing layer 94 and the electrode piece 93 are in an integrated structure, the reinforcing layer 94 is made of a long strip-shaped metal sheet, the metal sheet is wound on the outer surface of the outer tube for several turns to form the reinforcing layer 94, the electrode ring 5 abuts against and wraps the reinforcing layer 94, the electrode ring 5 is electrically connected with the reinforcing layer 94, the electrode ring 5 and the reinforcing layer 94 are in large-area contact, so that the electrode ring 5 and the reinforcing layer 94 are in close contact in electrical conductivity, and good electrical conductivity between the electrode ring 5 and the electrode piece 93 is ensured.
[0043] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The ablation microcatheter further comprises a support tube 3, the inner tube 2 is made of a high polymer material, the support tube 3 is sleeved outside the inner tube 2, and the support tube 3 can be in contact with or not in contact with the inner tube 2. The support tube 3 is used for reinforcing the inner tube 2, so as to improve the strength of the ablation microcatheter at the position of the inner tube 2 and avoid breakage of the ablation microcatheter when the ablation microcatheter is bent and stretched in the blood vessel. The outer tube 4 is sleeved outside the support tube 3, and 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 increase the adjustable bending function, the adjustable bending design of which can be similar to the existing ten-level adjustable bending mapping catheter, and the operator can operate the handle to make the distal electrode ring 5 reach the target position, so as to achieve better abutting effect. The reinforcing layer 94 passes through the support tube 3 and the outer tube 4 from the electrode piece to the outer surface of the outer tube 4, and specifically, the surface of the reinforcing layer 94 facing the support tube 3 can be coated with insulating paint.

[0047] In some embodiments, the inner tube 2 is provided with an infusion chamber, and no guidewire passes through the inner tube 2. The infusion chamber is connected to the inner cavity. The end 6 is provided with an outlet hole, and the surface of the end 6 is smooth.

In specific use, contrast agents or other liquids can be injected into the infusion chamber to achieve ablation. Simultaneously, the contrast agent flows out from the outlet hole and is infused around the electrode ring 5. The contrast agent can be physiological saline. See also Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, the hardness of the support tube 3 near the end 6 gradually decreases towards the end 6, and the distal end of the support tube 3 can be made gradually flexible through machining, so that the support tube 3 can bend in blood vessels while ensuring sufficient strength, thereby allowing it to extend in complex blood vessels. 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 Figures 1-2 In some embodiments, the hardness of the tip 6 gradually decreases in the direction away from the inner tube 2, making the tip 6 sufficiently soft to reduce the risk of puncturing the blood vessel when it is inserted into the blood vessel. Preferably, the tip 6 can be made of radiopaque material, and the position of the tip 6 and the inner tube 2 can be determined by taking an X-ray when the tip 6 is inserted into the blood vessel.
