Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of thrombus removal devices, specifically a retractable thrombus removal catheter. Background Technology

[0002] A thrombus is a small mass that forms on the surface of blood vessels in the cardiovascular system at sites of rupture or repair. In variable fluid-dependent thrombi, thrombi consist of insoluble fibrin, deposited platelets, accumulated white blood cells, and trapped red blood cells.

[0003] Thrombosis is a multifactorial process involving the interaction and mutual influence of a group of genetic and environmental factors. The most common characteristics of thrombosis patients in clinical practice include familial inheritance, recurrent episodes, severe symptoms, abnormal thrombus formation sites, and a trend towards younger age of onset.

[0004] Objective evidence is needed to rule out arterial or venous thrombosis or thromboembolism. Angiography is the reference standard for diagnosis, but ultrasound, performed with skilled technique, can also examine superficial blood vessels and the heart.

[0005] In patients with spontaneous deep vein thrombosis confirmed by venography, 25%–50% have a genetic predisposition. A congenital defect in the anticoagulation mechanism (such as factor V anti-activated protein C, hyperhomocysteinemia, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, antithrombin deficiency, or impaired fibrinolysis) combined with a thrombotic stimulus (such as surgery, pregnancy, use of oral contraceptives, or antiphospholipid antibodies) is sufficient to cause venous thromboembolism. Patients with a history of multiple thrombosis sites in the past experience a significantly increased frequency and severity of attacks compared to those with a single thrombus.

[0006] Antithrombotic therapy utilizes thrombolytic drugs, antiplatelet drugs, and anticoagulants. When developing an antithrombotic treatment strategy, thrombolytic therapy should be considered first, as it can remove an existing blood clot. Antithrombotic treatment should be diversified, depending on whether the affected area is the venous or arterial circulation system, the extent and location of vascular involvement, the extent of thrombus expansion, the risk of embolism or recurrence, and the relative benefits and risks of antithrombotic therapy versus bleeding.

[0007] Currently, the equipment used for thrombus removal is not ideal, resulting in incomplete thrombus removal. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved technology to solve this problem in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

An annular ring is provided on the outside of the guidewire supports 13. Cross supports 14 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the annular ring. A guidewire mounting hole is provided in the center of the inside of the cross supports 14. A fan-shaped groove is provided outside the guidewire mounting hole, and the fan-shaped groove penetrates the catheter body 2. The cross-shaped supports not only provide good support for the guidewire and prevent the guidewire from causing wear on the inner wall of the catheter body 2, but also facilitate the flow of thrombi through the fan-shaped groove inside the cross supports 14.

[0031] The outer wall of the catheter body 2 near one end is provided with a negative pressure port 3. The negative pressure port 3 is an integral structure with the catheter body 2 and is connected to the catheter body 2. A sealing rubber plug is provided at the negative pressure port 3. The negative pressure port 3 can be connected to a negative pressure suction device to remove the treated thrombus through negative pressure suction.

[0032] One end of the catheter body 2 is provided with a telescopic control end 4 and a telescopic head mechanism 5. The telescopic control end 4 is provided with a telescopic handle end 6. One end of the telescopic handle end 6 is an integral structure with one end of the catheter body 2. The telescopic handle end 6 is provided with a telescopic handle 7 inside. The telescopic handle 7 is installed in conjunction with the telescopic handle end 6. One end of the telescopic handle 7 is provided with an anti-dislodgement ring. The other end of the telescopic handle 7 is provided with a guidewire 9. The guidewire 9 is set on the guidewire support inside the catheter body 2. The telescopic handle 7 can move within a certain range and clean the thrombus by scraping it back and forth.

[0033] The telescopic head mechanism 5 includes a catheter body 2 and a telescopic head 8. The telescopic head 8 has a conical scraper body 11 inside. The cone tip of the conical scraper body 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the guidewire.

Connect a negative pressure aspirator to the negative pressure port 3 on the outside of the catheter body 2. The viewing lens 12 at the end of the catheter body 2 monitors the inside of the blood vessel in real time. When the viewing lens 12 detects a thrombus inside the blood vessel, stop after the end of the catheter body 2 penetrates into the thrombus. Push the telescopic handle 7 into the telescopic handle end 6. The telescopic head 8 at one end of the guide wire 9 inside the telescopic handle 7 is pushed out. The telescopic head 8 separates from one end of the catheter body 2 and pauses for 3-4 seconds. Then, pull the guide wire 9 with the telescopic handle 7 to return the telescopic head 8 to its original position. At this time, the telescopic head 8 carries part of the thrombus into the end of the catheter body 2. The negative pressure aspirator is activated to suck the thrombus inside the catheter body 2 into the storage bottle. Repeat the above process.
