Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a renal artery sympathetic nerve ablation device. Background Art
[0002] Hypertension is a common chronic disease and one of the independent risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
[0003] The pathogenesis of hypertension involves a variety of pathophysiological factors, including the inappropriate activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), the enhanced activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), and the abnormal handling of sodium by the kidneys. The excessive activation of the renal sympathetic nervous system is one of the most important pathophysiological factors of hypertension. Blocking the renal sympathetic nerve can regulate the overly activated sympathetic nerve signals between the kidney and the central nervous system, reduce the renal and systemic sympathetic nerve activities, and thus play a role in controlling the occurrence and development of hypertension.
[0004] At present, there are mainly two types of catheters used clinically for ablating renal artery sympathetic nerves: traditional large-tip ablation catheters and single-ring multi-polar catheters. However, due to individual differences among patients, both of these catheters have the defects of small coverage range and low ablation efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, a renal artery sympathetic nerve ablation device that can improve the ablation efficiency, reduce the operation time, and adapt to different patients is needed. Summary of the Utility Model

The PI tube is arranged in an outer main body tube, and a plurality of working catheters are also arranged in the outer main body tube.
[0008] Further, the working catheter includes a working catheter main body. A platinum-iridium ring is provided at the end of the working catheter main body. A spring is arranged inside the working catheter main body. A pull wire is arranged between the spring and the inner side wall of the working catheter main body. One end of the pull wire is connected to the platinum-iridium ring, and the other end of the pull wire is connected to a pull wire control mechanism. The pull wire control mechanism is arranged in the control handle.
[0009] Further, the pulling wire is arranged on the inner side wall of the working catheter main body away from the PI tube.
[0010] Further, a pulling wire harness formed by a plurality of pulling wires is arranged in the outer main body tube.
[0011] Further, the control handle includes an upper shell and a lower shell formed by injection molding, and the upper shell is snap-connected to the lower shell.
[0012] Further, the ablation device further includes a main machine power cord connected to the main machine.
