Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vascular occlusion recanalization, specifically to a spiral-propelled recanalization catheter for chronic vascular occlusion and its operation method. Background Technology

[0002] Chronic vascular occlusion refers to the gradual narrowing or complete blockage of blood vessels over a long period of time, usually caused by factors such as arteriosclerosis. This leads to restricted blood flow, thus requiring vascular recanalization surgery to open the blood vessels. During vascular recanalization surgery, doctors usually assess and decide in advance whether it is necessary to remove the blockage or place a stent, based on imaging examinations and the patient's specific condition. This decision is usually made during the surgery based on real-time imaging and further assessment of the condition.

[0003] Although doctors can determine the nature and extent of the blockage based on imaging assessments before surgery, the decision to aspirate the blockage or place a stent is usually made during the procedure based on the actual situation. However, the available instruments for placing a stent and aspirating the blockage are two different types, requiring switching between them depending on the circumstances. For example, if it is found that aspiration cannot be performed and a stent needs to be placed, the aspiration device needs to be removed and the stent device extended from the outer cannula to the blood vessel where the stent needs to be placed. However, if there are many bends in the blood vessel and the vessel is long, the operation time will be prolonged and complicated. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a spiral-propelled recanalization catheter for chronic vascular occlusion and its operation method, solving the problem of needing to replace devices according to actual conditions.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a spiral-push recanalization catheter for chronic vascular occlusion and its operation method, comprising a handle; an outer cannula fixedly connected to the front end of the handle; an aspiration machine connected to the inner side of the outer cannula; a drilling device provided at the end of the outer cannula; a push-pull device slidably connected to the inner surface of the handle; a sealing balloon fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer cannula at the end; a shell movably connected to the inner surface of the outer cannula; a tension tube slidably connected to the inner surface of the shell; a vascular stent installed on the outer wall of the tension tube and the inner wall of the shell, the vascular stent being configured in two sections; and a control button installed on the inner wall surface of the handle.

[0006] Preferably, the drilling device includes a drill bit, an opening support, a pull-out bladder, a motor, a fixing plate, and an elastic connector; the pull-out bladder is fixedly connected to the outer wall surface at the end of the stretching tube; the interior of the pull-out bladder communicates with the interior space of the stretching tube; the motor is fixedly connected to the inner surface at the end of the stretching tube; and the drill bit is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0007] Preferably, the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the end of the stretching tube, and the opening bracket is movably connected to the inner wall surface of the fixed plate through short pins on both sides of one end; the middle position of the opening bracket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pull-out bag, and the elastic connector is fixedly connected between the opening brackets.

[0008] Preferably, the push-pull device includes a first slider, a fixed block, a second slider, a pull rod, a sliding block, a sliding rod, a spring, and a rotating rod; the first slider is slidably connected to the inner surface of the handle; the second slider is limited to the inner surface of the first slider by the pull rod; the fixed block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the first slider; the lower end of the fixed block penetrates the outer wall surface of the casing and is fixedly connected to the outer wall surface of the tension tube.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the side surface of the second slider; the sliding block is slidably connected to the inner side wall surface of the first slider; the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the side surface of the sliding block; and the spring is sleeved on the side surface of the sliding rod.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side surface of the sliding block; the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the first slider; the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the sliding block; and the pulling rod is fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating rod.

[0011] Preferably, the outer sleeve is provided with a pipe that communicates with the interior of the sealing bladder; the sealing bladder and the pull-out bladder are made of rubber material and are connected to an external inflation device through the pipe.

[0012] A proposed method for using a helical-push recanalization catheter for chronic vascular occlusion includes the following steps: Step 1: First, use medical equipment to examine the patient's blood vessels. After the examination, insert the drilling device into the blood vessel and extend it along the blood vessel to the occlusion. Then, start the motor by controlling the button to rotate the drill bit. Simultaneously, manually slide the first slider to move the casing and the extension tube, which in turn moves the drill bit to drill a hole in the blockage. At the same time, the external inflation device inflates the sealing bladder through the channel inside the outer casing and contacts the blood vessel wall to block the blood vessel. Step 2: After the drill bit reaches the other side of the blockage, the motor stops. Then, air is injected into the stretching tube to inflate the pull-out bladder. When the pull-out bladder inflates, it causes the opening bracket and elastic connector to open. Then, manually pull the push-pull device to pull the blockage back. Then, simultaneously start the suction machine connected to the outer sleeve to suck out the pulled-back blockage. Repeat this several times to complete the blockage removal. Step 3: When a stent needs to be placed in the blood vessel after cleaning, pull the lever outward and lift it upward to release the restriction on the second slider, thereby removing the second slider. Then move the second slider to drive the casing to release the vascular stent. The vascular stent opens itself to support the blood vessel. The vascular stent is set with two sections. When the blood vessel wall that needs to be supported is long, both sections of the vascular stent can be removed. After the release is completed, move the second slider back to its original position. Step 4: Next, move the pull rod back to its original position via the spring and limit it. Then, extract the gas from the pull-out balloon, restore it to its original state, pass it through the middle of the opened vascular stent, and move it into the outer cannula. Then, restore the closure balloon to its original state, and then manually pull the outer cannula to remove it, completing the operation.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects This invention provides a spiral-deployed recanalization catheter for chronic vascular occlusion and its operation method. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. By designing the vascular stent as a segmented structure, the support area is increased, and the appropriate length can be selected according to actual needs, making it convenient to use.

[0014] 2. The expansion bracket and elastic connector expand the area when the bladder is expanded, increasing the amount of blockage pulled back, thereby quickly absorbing the blockage and improving the clearance efficiency.

[0015] 3. The integrated design of the vascular stent and drilling device provides doctors with more options based on the actual situation, making it easier to use. Attached Figure Description
