Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a thrombus removal catheter for percutaneous mechanical thrombus removal. Background Art

[0002] Long-term presence of thrombus in the deep veins of the lower extremities can lead to obstruction of blood flow back to the heart, which in turn causes venous hypertension, symptoms such as lower extremity swelling, decreased walking function, lower extremity pigmentation, and difficult-to-heal ulcers, which seriously affect the subject's quality of life. Clinically, early treatment of deep vein thrombosis usually involves the following methods:

[0003] 1. Anticoagulation: Anticoagulation is the basic treatment for deep vein thrombosis. It can inhibit the spread of thrombus, promote thrombus autolysis and recanalization of the lumen, and reduce the incidence and mortality of pulmonary embolism (PE). However, anticoagulation alone cannot effectively eliminate thrombus and it is difficult to reduce the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome.

[0004] 2. Thrombolytic therapy: includes catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and systemic thrombolysis, but it is easy to bleed during treatment. The larger the dosage of the drug and the longer the treatment time, the greater the risk of bleeding. Systemic medication is more dangerous than local medication.

[0005] 3. Surgical thrombectomy: It is necessary to cut the femoral vein and remove the thrombus by squeezing. This method may cause many complications.

[0006] 4. Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy (PMT): A thrombus-dissecting mechanism is first delivered to the site of vascular lesions via a catheter. The thrombus is then broken up using the mechanism, and finally the thrombus fragments are extracted by suction to complete the thrombus removal. Compared with traditional thrombolytic therapy, this approach has the advantages of immediately restoring blood flow, shortening thrombolysis time, rapidly relieving patient symptoms, reducing the dose of thrombolytics and the risk of bleeding. It is the most promising option for treating deep vein thrombosis.

[0007] The focus of existing percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy catheters is on how to prevent the escape of chopped thrombus fragments. Most of them adopt the method of setting a mesh basket on the front and / or rear side of the rotary cutting mechanism to intercept. For example, Chinese patents CN119112291A and CN112472210A disclose such catheters. However, no attention is paid to how to better cut the thrombus. The method of cutting the thrombus is limited to rotating through an arc-shaped knife or cutting wire. During rotary cutting, the blood vessel wall where the thrombus is located is not supported, nor is the thrombus fixed. It is easy to cause blood vessel damage due to the concave of the blood vessel wall, and it is also easy to cause incomplete thrombus removal due to the avoidance of the thrombus. At the same time, the rotary cutting radius cannot be adjusted. When the blood vessel wall is thin, rotary cutting too close to the blood vessel wall is likely to cut the blood vessel wall, which increases the risk of surgery. Summary of the Invention

[0049] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the thrombus removal catheter provided by the present invention includes: a guide wire tube 10, a transmission tube 20, an outer tube 30, a fixed net basket 40, and a rotary cutting net basket 50, wherein the guide wire tube 10 is a polymer tube made of a polymer material (such as PEEK, etc.), and a guide wire and a balloon can pass through the guide wire tube 10; the transmission tube 20 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the guide wire tube 10; the outer tube 30 is movably sleeved on the outside of the transmission tube 20, and the outer tube 30 is composed of three layers of materials from the inside to the outside, the inner layer is a hydrophobic The material layer, the middle layer is a metal braided layer, and the outer layer is a polymer material layer; the fixed mesh basket 40 is sleeved on the wire guide tube 10, and the fixed mesh basket 40 has four outer frames 41, which are evenly distributed around the axis of the wire guide tube 10. The outer frames 41 are cut and heat-set by nickel-titanium tubes. In a natural state, the two outer frames 41 on the opposite sides form a hexagonal outer frame; the rotary cutting mesh basket 50 is arranged on the inner side of the fixed mesh basket 40, and the rotary cutting mesh basket 50 is sleeved on the wire guide tube 10. The cutting basket 50 includes two inner frames 51 with cutting edges on the sides. The two inner frames 51 are evenly distributed around the axis of the wire guide tube 10. The peeling basket 50 is driven by the fixed basket 40 to open. The rear end of the peeling basket 50 is connected to the front end of the transmission tube 20. When the peeling basket 50 is opened, the two inner frames 51 form a hexagonal inner frame. When the outer tube 30 moves forward, the front end of the outer tube 30 gradually squeezes the outer frame 41 and the inner frame 51, so that the outer frame 41 and the inner frame The frame 51 is retracted, so that the fixed basket 40 and the rotary cutting basket 50 are retracted into the outer tube 30 so as to penetrate the vascular lesion. When the outer tube 30 moves backward to expose the fixed basket 40, the outer frame 41 deforms and cuts into the thrombus and presses against the blood vessel wall, so that the fixed basket 40 is expanded and the rotary cutting basket 50 is expanded. The rotary cutting basket 50 can rotate under the drive tube 20, and this rotation causes the cutting edge of the inner frame 51 to cut the thrombus squeezed into the fixed basket 40, thereby achieving thrombus removal.

[0050] The advantage of this arrangement is that during rotary cutting, the outer frame 41 can support the blood vessel wall and fix the thrombus, which is not likely to cause blood vessel damage due to the concave blood vessel wall, and the thrombus will not avoid the phenomenon, and the thrombus removal effect is good.

[0051] The outer wall of the inner rear beam tube 53 is flush with the outer wall of the transmission tube 20; the fixed net basket 40 also includes an outer front beam tube 42 connected to the front end of all outer frames 41 and an outer rear beam tube 43 connected to the rear end of all outer frames 41; the outer front beam tube 42 can be slidably mounted on the inner front beam tube 52, and the outer rear beam tube 43 can be movably mounted on the inner rear beam tube 53. In order to make the fixed net basket 40 drive the peeling net basket 50 to open better when it is opened, and avoid squeezing the inner frame 51 when it is opened to cause damage, the inner front beam tube 53 is further 2 is provided with a front annular flange 521, which blocks the rear side of the outer front bundle tube 42, and the outer circumferential surface of the front annular flange 521 is flush with the outer wall of the outer front bundle tube 42. The inner rear bundle tube 53 is provided with a rear annular flange 531, which blocks the front side of the outer rear bundle tube 43, and the outer circumferential surface of the rear annular flange 531 is flush with the outer wall of the outer rear bundle tube 43. When the fixed basket is expanded, the outer front bundle tube 42 and the outer The rear bundle tube 43 moves toward each other, pressing against the front annular flange 521 and the rear annular flange 531, and the front annular flange 521 and the rear annular flange 531 respectively drive the inner front bundle tube 52 and the inner rear bundle tube 53 to move toward each other, so that the rotary cutting basket 50 is expanded. In order to maximize the rotary cutting effect of thrombus and avoid interference, when the rotary cutting basket 50 is expanded, the distance between the inner frame 51 and the outer frame 41 is preferably 2 to 4 mm.

[0052] The thrombus removal catheter also includes a catheter connector 60, a sliding sleeve 70 and a bushing tube 80, which are sequentially sleeved on the transmission tube 20 in the front-to-back direction. The front end of the catheter connector 60 is sealedly connected to the rear end of the outer tube 30, and the rear end of the catheter connector 60 is inserted into the sliding sleeve 70. The front end of the bushing tube 80 is rotatably and axially slidably inserted into the sliding sleeve 70 and rotates synchronously with the transmission tube 20.

[0053] In order to achieve the suction of thrombus fragments, further, the catheter connector 60 is a Y-shaped hollow structural member, and a fixed seal 71 is provided between the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 70 and the outer wall of the catheter connector 60, so that the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 70 and the outer wall of the catheter connector 60 are sealed. At the same time, a movable seal 72 is provided between the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 70 and the outer wall of the liner tube 80. The movable seal 72 is ring-shaped and is sleeved on the front end of the liner tube 80 and squeezed tightly in the sliding sleeve 70, so that the liner tube 80 is sealed. 0 can both rotate relative to the sliding sleeve 70 and move axially relative to the sliding sleeve 70, thereby realizing a dynamic sealing connection between the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 70 and the outer wall of the liner tube 80, so that the rear end of the catheter connector 60 corresponds to a closed cavity. The bifurcated end of the catheter connector 60 is connected to a peristaltic pump 61 for aspirating thrombus fragments. When the peristaltic pump 61 is in operation, a vacuum can be formed in the cavity between the catheter connector 60, the outer tube 30 and the transmission tube 20, thereby aspirating the thrombus fragments chopped by the inner frame 51 and expelling them from the body.

[0054] In order to realize the rotation of the transmission tube 20, in this embodiment, the bushing tube 80 is a metal tube, and a milling plane 81 is provided on the bushing tube 80. The milling plane 81 is located behind the sliding sleeve 70. The milling plane 81 is connected to the drive motor 83 through the transmission unit 82. When the drive motor 83 rotates, the transmission unit 82 transmits the power of the drive motor 83 to the bushing tube 80 through the milling plane 81, so that the bushing tube 80 rotates and drives the transmission tube 20 to rotate. The transmission unit 82 is any one of gear transmission, belt transmission or chain transmission.

[0055] In this embodiment, both ends of the transmission tube 20 are stainless steel tubes, and the middle section is a metal braided wire tube, so that the transmission tube 20 has rotational flexibility and avoids component damage caused by deformation of the inner frame 51 and interference with the outer frame 41.

[0056] To facilitate control, the thrombus removal catheter further includes a control component, which is connected to the peristaltic pump 61 and the drive motor 83 and is used to control the operation of the peristaltic pump 61 and the drive motor 83. Specifically, the control component includes a circuit board 91 and a power supply 92. The circuit board 91 is electrically connected to the peristaltic pump 61 and the drive motor 83 through wires. The power supply 92 is preferably a dry cell battery or a dry cell battery pack. The power supply 92 is electrically connected to the circuit board 91 through wires. By controlling the operation of the drive motor 83 and the peristaltic pump 61, thrombus rotation and fragment aspiration can be achieved, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of thrombus removal for peripheral acute venous thrombosis.

[0057] Example 2, as Figures 4 to 12As shown, the second embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, except that, in the second embodiment, the expansion degree of the peeling basket 50 can be adjusted. Specifically, an adjusting rod sleeve 54 is further provided in the inner front bundle tube 52 and the inner rear bundle tube 53. The adjusting rod sleeve 54 can be movably sleeved on the wire guide tube 10 forward and backward. The front end portion of the adjusting rod sleeve 54 is provided with an annular flange 541 that is pressed against the front end surface of the inner front bundle tube 52. When the adjusting rod sleeve 54 moves backward, the inner front bundle tube 52 can be driven to move backward through the annular flange 541, thereby adjusting the expansion degree of the peeling basket 50.

[0058] To facilitate operation, the rear end of the adjusting rod sleeve 54 is further connected to a pull wire 55 for driving the adjusting rod sleeve 54 to move forward and backward. The pull wire 55 is located in the transmission tube 20, and the rear end of the pull wire 55 passes rearward through the transmission tube 20 and the outer tube 30. Furthermore, the pull wire 55 is a metal flat wire, and the adjusting rod sleeve 54 is a metal rod sleeve. The rear end of the adjusting rod sleeve 54 is provided with an axial notch 542 with a width matching that of the pull wire 55, and the front end of the pull wire 55 is embedded and welded in the axial notch 542.

[0059] Furthermore, an adjusting box 93 and an adjusting knob 94 are provided on the wire guide tube 10, and the adjusting box 93 and the adjusting knob 94 are located behind the transmission tube 20. The adjusting box 93 is used to store the rear end of the pull wire 55, and the adjusting knob 94 is used to control the length of the pull wire 55 pulled backward or released forward. The adjusting knob 94 can retract and release the pull wire 55 by mechanical rotation or electric rotation. This part of the structure is existing technology and will not be repeated here.

[0060] The advantage of this arrangement is that the degree of expansion of the rotary cutting basket 50 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, thereby achieving precise fragmentation of thrombi of different forms. In particular, when the blood vessel wall is thin, the degree of expansion of the rotary cutting basket 50 can be artificially reduced, so that the rotary cutting basket 50 can be kept as far away from the blood vessel wall as possible while fragmenting the thrombus, avoiding cutting the blood vessel wall and reducing surgical risks.

[0061] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
