Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a double-channel bile and pancreatic pressure measuring catheter. Background Art

[0002] The bile duct is a closed lumen system composed of the liver, bile ducts, gallbladder, and sphincter of Oddi (SO). The rhythmic contractions of the SO, in coordination with the gallbladder, effectively control bile storage, concentration, and emptying, and prevent duodenal reflux. Changes in bile duct pressure reflect bile duct dynamics, and measuring bile duct pressure can be used to infer bile duct motility, particularly sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD). In 1887, Oddi discovered the terminal sphincter of the common bile duct, performed the first manometric observations, and pioneered the study of biliary fluid dynamics. In 1974, Vondrasek et al. first used a microtransducer to assess common bile duct pressure and the pressure gradient from the common bile duct to the duodenum. In 1975, Nebel reported measuring bile duct pressure using an infusion catheter. In 1977, Arndorfer et al. improved the infusion system, replacing the water infusion method with low-compliance gas pressure capillary infusion. Professor Zou Shengquan of my country discovered in his early experiments studying biliary fluid mechanics and the causes of gallstones that there is a continuous hydrostatic pressure gradient in the bile duct, with the hepatobiliary duct pressure being 40.18±6.08kPa, the common bile duct pressure being 33.76±5.85kPa, the gallbladder pressure being 26.95±9.34kPa, and the pressure difference between the intrahepatic bile duct and the gallbladder being 13.23kPa.

[0003] Currently, bile and pancreatic pressure measurement primarily utilizes water perfusion. A pressure-measuring catheter with a side hole is inserted through a duodenoscope. Water flows out of the side hole at a constant, low rate (0.15–0.40 mL / min) through the water perfusion system. The resistance that the water must overcome during overflow is the local pressure. This pressure is transmitted through the water column to an external pressure transducer, where it is converted into an electrical signal. After processing by a recorder and a computer, the signal is graphically and numerically generated. Depending on the catheter type, pressure measurement can be categorized as: water-perfusion catheters, aspirable liquid-perfusion catheters, and cuff-type pressure-measuring catheters. Because water-perfusion pressure measurement measures indirect pressure, it has low accuracy, is complex to perform, and has a high incidence of postoperative complications. Consequently, it is rarely used in hospitals in China and has been a slow development.

[0004] Microsensor pressure measurement is a new direct pressure measurement method that has emerged in recent years abroad. It does not require a water perfusion system, is simpler to operate, and provides more accurate measurement data. This method uses a solid-state pressure measuring catheter, which is mainly used in urology to measure renal pelvic pressure during cystoscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Currently, it is mainly used in urology, and there are no solid-state pressure measuring catheters for the biliary and pancreatic systems. Because the outer diameter of solid-state pressure measuring catheters is generally 4Fr or 5Fr, they are in the shape of a wire with a thin outer diameter and soft tube wall. The pressure measuring catheter is easily bent and folded when passing through the duodenoscope channel, and may even cause the data cable to break. In addition, it is difficult for the pressure measuring catheter to pass through the papilla into the common bile duct or pancreatic duct. Utility Model Content
