TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to medical instrument technical field especially, relate to a double electrode ablation head. BACKGROUND
[0002] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (abbreviation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a chronic airway inflammatory disease with progressive airflow limitation as the characteristic, and the main symptom is long-term cough expectoration and dyspnea, the morbidity increases with age, and the social and economic burden related to acute exacerbation is huge. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease acute exacerbation and various complications always accompany the course, and seriously influence the prognosis of patients. Chronic airway mucus hypersecretion is the main pathophysiological characteristic of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and is clinically manifested as chronic cough expectoration. Mucus production increases and cilia clearance dysfunction can lead to respiratory tract mucus accumulation, form sputum embolism, and severe sputum obstruction can endanger life. The mechanism of chronic airway mucus hypersecretion is that airway epithelial mucus glands and goblet cells secrete excessive mucus.
[0003] Pulse electric field ablation technology is a technology that utilizes high-voltage discharge to cause irreversible electroporation of cells, which can directly act on cells to cause apoptosis and thus achieve a therapeutic purpose. Specifically, the short-time, high-voltage electric pulses generated by pulse electric field ablation technology can induce electroporation of cells, thereby changing the permeability of their membranes and leading to cell death. This method is referred to as non-thermal cautery because it does not rely on the generation of high heat to kill cells, and thus can greatly reduce damage to surrounding normal tissue. In addition, no tissue scabbing occurs during or after the procedure, so when applied to the trachea of the lung, it does not affect the normal function of the trachea. Finally, the mechanism by which irreversible electroporation causes cell death is apoptosis, rather than necrosis. Apoptosis is a programmed death process, and phagocytes remove apoptotic cells as a normal cell death process, thereby promoting the regeneration and repair of normal tissue. Therefore, after treatment by irreversible electroporation, the treated area can be replaced by normal cells in a short period of time, thereby restoring the original function.
[0004] The existing pulsed electric field technology used for COPD patients is all monopolar ablation probes. However, when using a single-electrode ablation probe, an additional matching electrode needs to be attached to the patient in order to achieve discharge, but this will result in a larger distance between the two electrodes, and the position between the two electrodes is uncertain, which has an adverse effect on the discharge treatment effect; in addition, the built-in probe is large in size, and it is not convenient to adjust the direction in the airway. It cannot perform secondary or multiple ablations continuously, and the monopolar ablation probe can only be completely removed from the patient's body. Therefore, the single-stage ablation probe has a small number of single ablation sites, a limited single ablation treatment range, low ablation efficiency, and multiple ablation operations are cumbersome and inconvenient. There is also an ablation catheter with two electrodes in the prior art, but the two electrodes can only be extended and retracted synchronously, and the expansion degree of the two electrodes is fixed. The expansion size of the two electrodes cannot be adjusted separately according to actual conditions. Moreover, when this dual-electrode structure design is currently used in the airway, the latter electrode will block the operator's observation of the former electrode, and the two electrodes are synchronized, which is not conducive to microscopic adjustment. In summary, the dual-electrode ablation catheters currently available on the market cannot meet actual clinical needs. Utility Model Content
