Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, and particularly to a shock wave balloon device. Background Art

[0002] As a common valvular heart disease, calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) has a disease spectrum covering a series of conditions from aortic valve sclerosis to calcific aortic stenosis (AS). Aortic valve sclerosis is often a pre - manifestation of aortic valve stenosis. Approximately 9% of aortic valve sclerosis cases will progress to stenosis within 5 years. Cardiovascular health research shows that about 1% - 2% of aortic valve sclerosis cases develop into stenosis each year, and 75% of these patients will need to undergo valve replacement surgery due to heart failure or die within 2 - 5 years. The leaflet stiffness of calcific aortic stenosis gradually increases in the clinical pathogenesis, and the late - stage lesions are similar to bone formation, with calcification as a significant feature. Currently, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is the main treatment for calcific aortic stenosis, while drug treatment is still in the research stage.

[0003] Although artificial valves have been proven to have certain safety and effectiveness in clinical applications, their surgical costs are high, and there are death risks (EuroSCORE≥20%, STS≥10%). In addition, artificial valves will recalcify and fail over time. With the gradual promotion of the concept of "interventional without implantation", both doctors and patients are more expecting a low - risk, non - implantable device that can soften the valve, thereby delaying the time of artificial valve implantation instead of directly performing valve replacement surgery, and also expecting to improve the valve function of calcified artificial valve prostheses.

[0004] In recent years, intravascular shock wave technology has been continuously developing. In terms of intracoronary balloon shock wave lithotripsy, clinical research data of multiple companies at home and abroad have been successively published, fully demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of intravascular shock wave treatment for calcification. In the field of heart valves, the Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (JSCAI) and the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) reported cases of shock wave balloon - assisted treatment of mitral valve calcification. Cardiawave Company used extracorporeal ultrasound technology to treat 10 patients with aortic calcification and successfully verified the feasibility of ultrasound treatment for aortic calcification. Many foreign companies and institutions have conducted in - depth explorations on ultrasonic cavitation effects and shock wave cavitation effects for treating valve calcification, and the results show that they can effectively soften calcified valves and biological tissues. Based on these research results, the present invention focuses on the application of shock wave cavitation effects, and is committed to designing a safe, convenient and efficient device. By applying shock waves to calcified valves, promoting valve calcification fractures, and then achieving the purpose of softening the valves, so as to meet the urgent needs of the current cardiovascular disease treatment field for low - risk, non - implantable treatment options.

[0069] Wherein, a silicone sealing ring is fixedly arranged in the first outlet channel 131, and the proximal end of the intermediate tube 3 passes through the silicone sealing ring, and the silicone sealing ring is used to seal the second channel 6;

[0070] The second outlet channel 132 is connected to the second channel 6, and the side of the second outlet channel 132 away from the outer tube 4 penetrates the side wall of the main body. The second outlet channel 132 is fixedly connected to a three-way valve 133, and the three-way valve 133 can be used to introduce contrast agent or heparin;

[0071] Among them, the compressive strength of the silicone seal is 200psi;

[0072] The outer tube 4 is composed of a connecting section, a soft section, and a pushing section from the distal end to the proximal end;

[0073] The soft segment and the push segment are woven from braided wires, the hardness of the push segment is greater than the hardness of the soft segment, the hardness of the soft segment is 35D, and the length of the soft segment is 10 cm; wherein the soft segment has a hardness of 35D and a length of 10 cm and the push segment is woven from braided wires, the hardness of the push segment is greater than the hardness of the soft segment, and this design enables the catheter to be smoothly pushed in the blood vessel and adapt to the curvature and softness of the blood vessel, thereby reducing damage to the blood vessel wall;

When contrast agent is injected, the shear force between the contrast agent and the tube is reduced, and the contrast agent flow rate is increased. Or if blood enters the cavity, it is convenient for liquid flushing to prevent blood from clotting and adhering to the inner cavity.

[0075] The clamping arm 12 is made of nickel-titanium memory alloy material, and the intermediate tube 3 includes: a distal section and a proximal section. The distal section is a braided tube made of braided wire. The hardness of the distal section of the intermediate tube 3 is 50D. The proximal section of the intermediate tube 3 is a metal tube.

[0076] Wherein, the electrode assembly is in three groups;

[0077] The three groups of electrode assemblies are coaxially arranged, and the electrode assemblies include, from the inside to the outside, an inner electrode, an insulating tube, and an outer electrode; a plurality of discharge holes are provided on the insulating tube and the outer electrode, and the three groups of electrode assemblies are connected in series;

[0079] As a preferred embodiment, the material of the balloon 1 can be nylon and its derivatives, and the acoustic impedance of nylon and its derivatives is close to the optimal acoustic impedance of the liquid after the balloon is pressurized.

[0080] As a preferred embodiment, the distal end of the tip tube 8 has a chamfered cut with a certain taper, and the hardness of the tip of the tip tube is 30D.

[0081] Example 2

[0082] This embodiment provides a method for using a shock wave balloon device. Carefully load the valve shock wave device along the pre-implanted guide wire, and slowly push the shock wave catheter along the inner wall of the adjustable bending sheath until it reaches the top of the aortic valve. During the pushing process, pay attention to the structural characteristics of the outer tube 4. The connection section and the soft section have a hardness of 35D, a length of 10cm, and cooperate with the pushing section. The higher hardness of the pushing section facilitates pushing, and the moderate softness and specific length of the soft section can effectively adapt to the bending and soft characteristics of the blood vessel, reducing damage to the blood vessel wall;

[0083] The doctor holds and operates the sliding button 92 fixedly connected to the proximal end of the middle tube 3 on the handle 9, and drives the middle tube 3 through the sliding button 92 to push the balloon 1, and at the same time closely observes the mark of the balloon 1 by X-ray, and pushes the balloon 1 to the bottom of the valve, at which time the three clamping arms 12 of the clamping arm device 10 at the distal end of the outer tube 4 are fully released;

[0084] Then adjust the X-ray shooting angle to observe the positions of the three clamping arms and the movement of the valve. If the position of the clamping arms is found to be deviated, gently rotate the catheter to finely adjust the position of the clamping arms until they perfectly coincide with the three sinuses of the aorta to ensure that the clamping arms can act on the valve evenly and stably. Use ultrasound equipment to observe the movement of the aortic valve to further confirm the details of the valve and the relative position relationship between the device and the valve.

[0085] The contrast agent is filled into the balloon 1 through the first channel 5, providing an effective path for balloon filling and internal fluid circulation. When the balloon 1 is pressurized to a specified pressure, under real-time ultrasound observation, the sliding button 92 on the control handle 9 moves the balloon so that the valve is tightly clamped by the three clamping arms 12.

[0086] Then press the treatment button on the IVL connector cable to deliver 10 pulses within the pre-set time. At this time, the three sets of electrode assemblies in the inner tube 2 start working, and the electric arc breaks through the liquid in the balloon to generate shock waves. The shock waves are transmitted to the surface of the balloon 1 through the liquid to perform shock wave treatment on the calcified valve. After the pulse delivery is completed, the balloon 1 is completely retracted, and the adjustable sheath and guide wire are carefully withdrawn, thus completing the entire surgical process.

[0087] In summary, the present invention utilizes a balloon of a special shape, which is centered between the three leaflets. The balloon cooperates with a clamping arm of a special shape to make the valve stick to the balloon. The curvature of the balloon serves as a fulcrum, and the two feet of the clamping arm apply force in the direction of the fulcrum. While clamping the valve, it is easier to fracture the calcified valve. The centered balloon does not contact the valve ring, reducing the impact of shock wave energy on heart point conduction. The three clamping arms clamp the three valves to avoid the impact of heart beating on the surgical process. The three clamping arms clamp the three valves at the same time for shock wave therapy, thereby increasing surgical efficiency. During treatment, the device is provided with angiography channels above and below the valve, and no additional angiography catheter intervention is required, thereby reducing trauma to the patient and increasing the doctor's visualization operation.
