Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to a vascular interventional radiofrequency pulse ablation surgical system. Background Art
[0002] Atherosclerosis is a common vascular disease, usually caused by the accumulation of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances on the arterial wall to form atherosclerotic plaques. These plaques can gradually grow larger, obstruct blood flow, and may lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
[0003] Traditional treatment methods such as drug treatment and surgery have problems such as large trauma and slow recovery. With the continuous increase in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, minimally invasive treatment technologies have gradually become the mainstream. Vascular interventional treatment is a relatively mature minimally invasive treatment method. Generally, an incision is made on the skin surface, and the instrument is inserted into the blood vessel through the artery, and a special instrument is used for blood vessel dilation to improve the situation of blood vessel stenosis. If there is an infarcted part, ablation drugs can be injected or the diseased tissue can be removed by using a plaque rotablation method for treatment. If the blood vessel stenosis is relatively severe, a stent can also be placed in the blood vessel to facilitate the dredging of local blood circulation, thereby treating vascular diseases. In traditional treatment methods, drug ablation can only target mild diseases, and it is not efficient and thorough enough, and the treatment effect is not good. The method of using rotablation may cause damage to the inner wall of the blood vessel, the surgical difficulty is relatively large, the risk is relatively high, and it is easy to produce small thrombi escaping distally to form embolisms, resulting in new problems.
[0004] Vascular interventional radiofrequency pulse ablation surgery is a modern new vascular interventional treatment technology that combines radiofrequency energy and balloon dilation technology and has received wide attention for its minimally invasive and efficient characteristics. It is mainly used for treating intravascular calcified plaques or stenotic lesions.
[0005] Medical devices used in vascular interventional radiofrequency pulse ablation surgery are all provided with guide wires for balloon and catheter guidance. The guide wire structure in related technologies is relatively simple. In complex and small blood vessels, the long-distance movement of the guide wire is very easy to damage the inner wall of the blood vessel, and it is difficult to ensure its smooth forward movement in curved blood vessels. In addition, the single-pole or multi-pole electrodes set in related technologies are difficult to perform stable, uniform, and efficient ablation treatment on plaques. Summary of the Invention

[0070] Next, in combination with the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 7 , the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. The described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of the present invention, not all possible implementations. Those skilled in the art can fully combine the embodiments of the present invention to obtain other embodiments without creative labor, and these embodiments are also within the protection scope of the present invention. Embodiment 1
[0071] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, a vascular interventional radiofrequency pulse ablation surgical system provided by an embodiment of the present application includes an outer sheath 10, an inner tube 20, a guide wire 30, and an operating handle 40. The operating handle 40 is elongated, and the outer peripheral surface of the operating handle 40 is an arc-shaped curved surface, and its shape is designed according to ergonomics, which is convenient for doctors to hold and operate. The operating handle 40 includes a first half-shell 41 and a second half-shell 42. The outer peripheries of the first half-shell 41 and the second half-shell 42 are buckled and fixedly connected together to form a complete operating handle structure. The inside of the outer sheath 10 has a first through hole 11 along its axial direction. The first through hole 11 penetrates through both ends of the outer sheath 10. One end of the outer sheath 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the operating handle 40. The inside of the operating handle 40 has an installation cavity 43, and the first through hole 11 is communicated with the installation cavity 43.
[0072] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the length of the inner tube 20 is greater than the length of the outer sheath 10. The outer sheath 10 is slidably sleeved on the inner tube 20, that is, the inner tube 20 is slidably inserted into the first through hole 11 of the outer sheath 10. One end of the inner tube 20 extends out of the first through hole 11 of the outer sheath 10 and extends into the installation cavity 43 inside the operating handle 40. A strip-shaped hole 44 is opened on the side of the operating handle 40. The length direction of the strip-shaped hole 44 is arranged along the length direction of the operating handle 40. An operating key 50 is fixedly connected to the end of the inner tube 20 extending into the operating handle 40. The operating key 50 passes through the strip-shaped hole 44 and extends out of the operating handle 40. When an operator holds the operating handle 40 and pushes the operating key 50, the inner tube 20 can be driven to move inside the outer sheath 10. An elastic balloon 60 is sleeved on the other end of the inner tube 20. The elastic balloon 60 is cylindrical, and the elastic balloon 60 is coaxially arranged with the inner tube 20. Smooth curved surface transitions are formed by rounding the outer peripheries at both ends of the elastic balloon 60. Scale values are provided on the elastic balloon 60. When the elastic balloon 60 is not inflated, it can contract into the first through hole 11 of the outer sheath 10 along with the inner tube 20. When it needs to be used at a predetermined position, the inner tube 20 and the elastic balloon 60 can be pushed out of the first through hole 11 of the outer sheath 10 through the operating key 50.
[0073] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the inner tube 20 has a second through hole 21 along its axial direction. The second through hole 21 extends through both ends of the inner tube 20, and the guide wire 30 can slide through the second through hole 21 of the inner tube 20. A deflection guide head 70 is provided at the end of the guide wire 30 near the elastic balloon 60. The deflection guide head 70 can deflect and swing when encountering resistance. The design of the deflection guide head 70 allows the guide wire 30 to flexibly deflect and swing when encountering resistance, avoiding damage to the inner wall of the blood vessel caused by rigid advancement. Specifically, the deflection guide head 70 includes a rod body 71 and a cap body 72 located at one end of the rod body 71. The end of the guide wire 30 is provided with a mounting seat 73. The other end of the rod body 71 is connected to the mounting seat 73 and a pressure spring 74 is provided between the two. The mounting seat 73 is also provided with a pressure feedback sensor 75 that abuts against the pressure spring 74. One side of the cap body 72 is a connecting plane 721 that is fixedly connected to the rod body 71, and the side of the cap body 72 away from the rod body 71 is a spherical surface 722. The special structure of the rod body 71 and the cap body 72 not only enhances the stability of the guide wire 30, but also improves its flexibility and controllability in complex vascular pathways. The design of the spherical surface 722 reduces the mechanical stimulation of the front end of the guide wire 30 on the blood vessel wall, thereby reducing surgical risks.
[0074] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the operating handle 40 is equipped with a fiber optic controller 80. The pressure feedback sensor 75 is a fiber optic sensor with a reflective mirror 751 that mates with the fiber optic controller 80. The operating handle 40 is also equipped with a fiber optic connector 100 that connects to the fiber optic controller 80. The application of fiber optic technology here primarily uses the fiber optic sensor to provide force feedback on the resistance encountered by the deflection guide head 70. A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor can be used to detect minute deformations at the end of the deflection guide head 70, thereby measuring contact force.
[0075] In this embodiment, the fiber optic controller 80 can be used in conjunction with a pulsed detection laser and a waveform collector to precisely monitor the position of the guidewire 30. The pulsed detection laser emits pulsed laser light, which is transmitted through the optical fiber into the cavity and scattered. The waveform collector receives the reflected pulsed laser light and analyzes its delayed waveform to determine the relative position of the guidewire 30. This information is fed back to the fiber optic controller 80, which is used to adjust the guidewire 30's posture and next movement direction.
[0076] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, an air flow channel 22 communicating with the elastic balloon 60 is provided in the inner tube 20. The air flow channel 22 is located on one side of the second through hole and extends to the inside of the elastic balloon 60 and communicates with the elastic balloon 60 through a side opening. An air flow joint 170 and an air flow pipe 120 for communicating the air flow channel 22 with the air flow joint 170 are provided on the operation handle 40. An air flow switch 110 for controlling the air flow in and out of the elastic balloon 60 is also provided on the operation handle 40. This can facilitate the inflation and deflation of the elastic balloon 60 and achieve precise control of the expansion and contraction of the balloon. During the operation, the doctor can adjust the state of the elastic balloon 60 at any time to ensure that the elastic balloon 60 performs radiofrequency ablation in a proper position and state, improving the flexibility and safety of the operation. In addition, this design also helps to reduce the risk of vascular injury caused by improper manual operation.
[0077] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the vascular interventional radiofrequency pulse ablation surgery system in this embodiment further includes a radiofrequency generator 130 and a pulsed radiofrequency generating element 140. The radiofrequency generator 130 is used to provide energy, is relatively large in volume, and is independently provided outside the operation handle 40. The pulsed radiofrequency generating element 140 can be provided inside the operation handle 40 or inside the outer sheath 10 and the inner tube 20. An electrode joint 150 for connecting the radiofrequency generator 130 and the pulsed radiofrequency generating element 140 is provided on the operation handle 40. The surface of the elastic balloon 60 is coated with a silver paste electrode 160 electrically connected to the pulsed radiofrequency generating element 140. The silver paste electrode 160 is spirally distributed on the outer peripheral surface of the elastic balloon 60. The silver paste electrode 160 disposed on the outer surface of the elastic balloon 60 has a sufficiently large coverage area and ensures uniformity, thereby improving the surgical ablation efficiency and ablation effect.
[0078] In this embodiment, a pressure sensor 190 and a temperature sensor 200 are provided in the elastic balloon 60. A display screen 180 for displaying the pressure and temperature data inside the elastic balloon 60 is also provided on the operation handle 40. The display screen 180 is electrically connected to the fiber optic controller 80. This can realize the real-time monitoring and display of the pressure and temperature inside the elastic balloon 60, which not only helps the doctor to understand the state of the elastic balloon 60 at any time during the operation to ensure the safety and accuracy of the operation, but also can timely adjust the operation strategy to avoid vascular injury caused by excessive pressure or tissue thermal injury caused by temperature out of control, thereby improving the overall effect of the operation and the treatment experience of the patient.
[0079] The implementation principle is as follows: During use, under the guiding action of the guide wire 30, the elastic balloon 60 can quickly and accurately reach the lesion site. An external pressure device pressurizes the elastic balloon 60 to make it expand and fill; after the elastic balloon 60 expands, it fits against the inner wall of the vascular targeted stenosis lesion site, and pulsed radiofrequency energy acts on the lesion through the silver paste electrode 160. The thermal effect generated by the pulsed radiofrequency current ablates the diseased tissue or abnormal lesion to achieve the treatment effect.
[0080] In this embodiment, through the design of the deflection guiding head 70, the guide wire 30 can deflect and swing when encountering resistance, avoiding vascular damage caused by hard pushing, improving the navigation ability of the guide wire 30 in complex and small blood vessels, making the advancement of the guide wire 30 smoother, more accurate, and safer. The silver paste electrode 160 coated on the surface of the elastic balloon 60 is electrically connected to the pulsed radiofrequency generating element 140, and can effectively conduct radiofrequency energy when the elastic balloon 60 contacts the lesion site, achieving efficient and uniform ablation of calcified plaques and improving the treatment effect. The overall system design conforms to ergonomics, is convenient to operate, enables the elastic balloon 60 and the silver paste electrode 160 to accurately locate to the target position, reduces the operation time and complexity, and improves the ablation effect.
[0081] In this embodiment, the silver paste electrode 160 is used for radiofrequency pulse ablation. It has excellent electrical conductivity, can achieve efficient current transmission with low loss; is not easily oxidized and corroded, can maintain stable electrical conductivity for a long time, ensuring the reliability and service life of the electrode; it also has good biocompatibility and will not cause irritation or damage to organisms. In addition, silver also has antibacterial properties, can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria, and further improves the biological safety of the electrode.
[0082] In this application, the elastic balloon 60 is made of a block polyether amide resin material, and the guide wire 30 is formed by a polyurethane tungsten mixed imaging material and tungsten carbide material together, and the mass fractions of both the polyurethane tungsten mixed imaging material and the tungsten carbide material are 50%; in this way, the elastic balloon 60 can withstand higher pressures, reduce the risk of rupture of the elastic balloon 60, and has better elasticity than traditional nylon materials, is suitable for complex vascular environments, and has good biocompatibility; the above-mentioned guide wire 30 forms a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, has the characteristics of wear-resistant and high-rebound plastic materials, and at the same time has sufficient hardness and good chemical inertness. The outer surface of the guide wire 30 is coated with a hydrophilic coating. The hydrophilic coating is composed of hydrophilic polymers such as polyacrylate and polyurethane, and is attached to the surface of the guide wire 30 by chemical bonding or physical adsorption. Cross-linking agents and photoinitiators can also be added to enhance the adhesion and stability of the coating. The guide wire 30 with a hydrophilic coating shows significant lubricity, biocompatibility and controllability during interventional surgery, can effectively improve the safety and success rate of the surgery, and at the same time reduce the pain of patients. Embodiment 2

The difference is that in this embodiment, a floating balloon 220 for suspending the guide wire 30 in the blood of the blood vessel is provided at a position near the deflection guide head 70 at the end of the guide wire 30. A control switch 210 for controlling the inflow and outflow of air in the floating balloon 220 is also provided on the operation handle 40 for inflating and deflating the floating balloon 220. In addition, there are several groups of silver paste electrodes 160 in this embodiment. Each group of silver paste electrodes 160 is in a long strip shape. Each group of silver paste electrodes 160 is arranged on the surface of the elastic balloon 60 along its length direction. The several groups of silver paste electrodes 160 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the elastic balloon 60.
[0084] The implementation principle is as follows: The floating balloon 220 enables the guide wire 30 to maintain a suspended state in the blood vessel, avoiding the guide wire 30 clinging to the blood vessel wall due to the action of gravity, thereby reducing mechanical damage to the inner wall of the blood vessel. In addition, the floating balloon 220 can also increase the stability of the guide wire 30, helping to achieve more accurate positioning and operation in complex blood vessel paths. Embodiment 3

The magnetic response coating 90 can be made of magnetostrictive material, for example, it can be Terfenol-D (Tb 0.3 Dy 0.7Fe2), Galfenol (Fe-Ga alloy), ferrites (such as CoFe2O4), multiferroic materials (such as BiFeO3), magnetoelectric composite materials (such as Terfenol-D / PZT), etc. The magnetic response coating 90 is used in conjunction with the fiber optic sensor and the fiber optic controller 80.
