Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device experimental equipment technology, and in particular relates to an electric-driven coronary artery high-speed rotational atherectomy simulation device. Background Technology
[0002] Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most deadly diseases, primarily caused by coronary atherosclerosis, which leads to narrowing of the blood vessels and myocardial ischemia. Severe calcification increases the complexity of surgery, increasing the risk of stent failure and expansion, resulting in poor patient prognosis. High-speed rotational atherectomy uses a diamond-coated burr head that, driven by a actuator, rotates at high speed to abrade and refine calcified plaques, improving device passability and stent expansion. However, the high-speed rotation of the burr head within the blood vessel increases the risk of vascular dissection, perforation, and rupture, making it a highly challenging procedure, thus limiting the number of hospitals capable of performing it. Young surgeons typically require mentorship from experienced senior surgeons to learn this technique, resulting in limited learning opportunities, high costs, and significant risks. Therefore, this invention develops an electrically driven high-speed rotational atherectomy simulation device to help surgeons understand the entire procedure and its working principles, making it easier to learn and master.

[0015] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the single embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a high-speed rotary atherectomy simulation device based on electric drive. The device includes an intelligent pressurized infusion device, an electric drive power device, a high-speed brushless motor, a atherectomy head control device, an STM32 microcontroller system, an audible and visual alarm system, a rotary atherectomy guidewire braking device, a rotary atherectomy guidewire, an arterial path model, a calcified artery model, a camera system, and a computer.
[0018] The STM32 microcontroller system is connected to the high-speed brushless motor through an electric drive power unit to provide power to the motor. The maximum control speed is 200,000 rpm, with constant power output, intelligent identification of motor parameters, and speed closed loop, so that the high-speed brushless motor rotates at the preset speed.
[0019] The grinding head control device is connected to the intelligent pressurized infusion device via an infusion tube, and can control the grinding head to move forward and backward. The grinding head is connected to a high-speed brushless motor at the grinding head interface. The intelligent pressurized infusion device contains physiological saline.
[0020] The atherectomy guidewire passes through the calcified artery model along the arterial path model to reach the distal end. The calcified artery model is modular and replaceable. The atherectomy guidewire braking device is used to clamp the atherectomy guidewire and prevent it from moving.
[0021] The grinding head reaches the proximal end of the calcified artery model along the rotary abrasion guide wire. The grinding head is started to rotate at high speed by the start button on the grinding head control device, and the push button on the grinding head controller pushes it back and forth to grind the calcified artery model.
[0022] The camera system is connected to a computer and uses the camera to capture images of the grinding head's position, allowing observation of the grinding head's state within the calcified artery model, and transmitting the data in real time to the computer for display.
[0023] The sound and light alarm system is connected to the STM32 microcontroller system and is used to promptly remind the experimenters when the grinding head encounters excessive resistance.
[0024] The specific application process of this utility model is as follows: Physiological saline is placed in an intelligent pressurized infusion device, whose infusion tube is connected to the grinding head control device. The physiological saline flushes the grinding head to prevent overheating. An electric drive power unit controlled by an STM32 microcontroller system is connected to the grinding head control device via a high-speed brushless motor. The motor controls the rotation of the grinding head, and the STM32 microcontroller system also controls the audible and visual alarm system. The rotational atherectomy guidewire passes through the calcified artery model along the arterial path model to the distal end. Then, a rotational atherectomy guidewire brake device clamps the guidewire to prevent movement. When the grinding head reaches the calcified artery model, the electric drive power unit is activated, allowing the grinding head to reach the preset rotation speed. Simultaneously, the camera system is activated. The experimenter can observe the state of the grinding head on the calcified artery model in real time through the camera system, and simultaneously control the grinding head control device to move the grinding head forward and backward, simulating the rotational atherectomy system grinding the calcified artery model and experiencing the entire operation process. When the grinding head encounters too much resistance and the actual rotation speed is below 90,000 rpm, the system will issue an audible and visual alarm to remind the experimenter to quickly retract the grinding head to prevent it from getting stuck.
[0025] The above embodiments are used to explain and illustrate the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications and changes made to the present utility model within the spirit and scope of the claims shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
