When using a guide catheter and a guide wire, the guide catheter may be difficult to pass through the lesion due to insufficient support or instability, thus affecting the operation. The authorization announcement number CN 219001689U discloses a guide extension catheter with a balloon structure, in which an extension tube, a hypotube, and a Luer connector are arranged in sequence from the distal end to the proximal end. A balloon that is funnel-shaped after filling is arranged on the outer wall of the proximal end of the extension tube, and the larger opening faces the proximal end to form the entry end of the interventional coronary device. One end of the hypotube is embedded and installed in the extension tube and connected to the balloon to provide a channel for balloon filling. The other end of the hypotube is connected to the Luer connector. However, this solution only provides a balloon at one end of the extension catheter close to the hypotube, resulting in insufficient stability of the extension catheter. Summary of the invention

Embodiment

[0019] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification;

[0020] As Figure 1 , 2 , as shown in FIGS. 3, a guiding extension catheter that can be fixed to a guiding catheter, the rear end of the guiding extension catheter 1 is connected to a pushing assembly 5 through a connection catheter 4, the guiding catheter 3 is sleeved outside the guiding extension catheter 1, a balloon catheter 2 is sleeved outside the guiding extension catheter 1, the balloon catheter 2 is arranged between the guiding catheter 3 and the guiding extension catheter 1, and the balloon catheter 2 includes a first anchoring balloon 21, a second anchoring balloon 23 and a connection channel 22 for communicating the first anchoring balloon 21 and the second anchoring balloon 23; the first anchoring balloon 21 is located on the outer wall of the front end of the guiding extension catheter 1, and the second anchoring balloon 23 is located on the outer wall of the rear end of the guiding extension catheter 1; one end of the connection catheter 4 is inserted into the rear end of the guiding extension catheter 1 and communicated with the balloon catheter 2 through a filling pipeline 41, the other end of the connection catheter 4 is connected to the pushing assembly 5, a pressure pump for filling the balloon is connected to the pushing assembly 5, and a valve 42 for controlling the gas flow in the connection catheter 4 to the balloon catheter 2 is arranged on the connection catheter 4. The pressure pump fills gas into the connection catheter 4, the valve 42 is opened, and the gas sequentially passes through the connection catheter 4 and the filling pipeline 41 and enters the balloon catheter 2; so that the second anchoring balloon 23 can be filled and contact the inner wall of the guiding catheter 3, and can provide a stronger supporting force for the guiding catheter 3, improving the efficiency and success rate of the operation; the first anchoring balloon 21 is filled and contacts the inner wall of the patient's blood vessel, the front end and the rear end of the guiding extension catheter 1 are fixed, relative movement between the extension tube and the guiding catheter 3 is avoided, the guiding extension catheter 1 is made more stable, the operation difficulty of the operation is reduced, and the burden on the surgical staff is reduced.

[0021] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the inner diameter of the guiding extension catheter 1 is 1.4 mm and the outer diameter is 1.7 mm. The guiding extension catheter 1 is composed of multiple layers of composite materials, which are, from outside to inside, a polymer material layer 13, a reinforcing layer 12, and a PTFE inner layer 11. An anticoagulant coating is applied on the outer surface of the polymer material layer 13. When the extension tube enters the body, the anticoagulant coating can prevent blood clots. The reinforcing layer 12 is a metal reinforcing layer 12 or a fiber reinforcing layer 12. The multi-layer composite material of the extension tube is prepared by composite processes such as spraying, dipping, welding, soldering, co-extrusion, etc. Anticoagulant coatings for preventing blood clots are also provided on the outer surfaces of the balloon catheter 2 and the connecting catheter 4.

[0022] As Figure 1 , 2 , as shown in Figure 3, a protective ring 24 for protecting the guiding extension catheter 1 is provided on the guiding extension catheter 1. The protective ring 24 is a stainless steel ring and is provided between the guiding extension catheter 1 and the balloon catheter 2. During the inflation stage of the balloon catheter 2, the guiding extension catheter 1 will also be squeezed by air pressure, which may cause the guiding extension catheter 1 to deform.
