Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a rapidly exchangeable forward vascular recanalizer for CTO lesions. Background Technology

[0002] Chronic coronary artery occlusion (CTO) is a special type of coronary artery disease. Interventional procedures for coronary artery occlusion are very complex, especially when the occlusion site is combined with calcification, making management extremely challenging. A major reason for surgical failure is when the guidewire passes through the occlusion site but subsequent instruments cannot. Clinically, the means to treat this type of lesion are very limited. Only by using laser instruments to ablate the lesion site can the procedure potentially succeed. However, laser instruments are very expensive in China, and only a very few hospitals possess such equipment. Therefore, developing a simple, easy-to-use, low-cost, and rapidly exchangeable forward vascular opener for CTO lesions is essential to overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number CN202322160705.7 discloses a pre-shaped microcatheter, which relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a pre-shaped microcatheter. This utility model uses a pre-shaped cylindrical tube to deliver the pre-shaped microcatheter to the angulated coronary artery (CTO) lesion, allowing the tube to rest obliquely against the coronary vessel wall. A support tube 2 provides additional support to the coronary vessel wall, and the opening of the pre-shaped cylindrical tube is aligned with the opening of the CTO lesion. This microcatheter provides a good puncture angle and additional external wall support for antegrade CTO guidewire puncture, thus improving the success rate of CTO guidewire puncture. However, when encountering occlusion combined with calcification, this utility model remains very difficult to handle, and the success rate is not high, failing to address the aforementioned technical shortcomings.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent application number CN202210225996.0 discloses a supporting device for interventional surgery in patients with coronary artery occlusion. This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a supporting device for interventional surgery in patients with coronary artery occlusion. This utility model utilizes the accompanying vein to achieve normal blood flow. A guidewire guides a balloon catheter into the occluded artery. The balloon in the catheter expands, temporarily sealing the artery. Then, the distal end of the guidewire is punctured from the artery to the accompanying vein, using the vein to replace the occluded artery and achieve normal blood delivery. However, this utility model is not applicable to cases where the occlusion is combined with calcification, and the success rate is not high, failing to overcome the aforementioned technical shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a rapidly exchangeable forward vascular recanalizer for CTO lesions, which has advantages such as improved puncture and surgical success rates. It solves the problem that coronary artery occlusions often present multiple angles and high rigidity, and ordinary microcatheters cannot provide a good angle and strong support for CTO guidewire puncture, which not only takes a long time but also increases surgical risks and radiation exposure time for doctors and patients.

[0006] To address this, a rapidly exchangeable forward vascular recanalizer for CTO lesions is proposed, comprising a pressure pump structure, a push rod structure at the right end of the pressure pump structure, and a rapid exchange structure at the right end of the push rod structure. Both the push rod structure and the rapid exchange structure are hollow. The rapid exchange structure has a side hole for a guidewire to pass through. The guidewire passes through the side hole and penetrates the interior of the rapid exchange structure. An extension end is provided on the surface of the push rod structure, and a conductive element is integrated with the extension end. The conductive element is connected to the negative terminal of a high-frequency source generator. The tail end of the guidewire is connected to the positive terminal of a high-frequency electrosurgical unit. The high-frequency electrosurgical unit is connected to a high-frequency power generator. The guidewire and the conductive element form a complete circuit through the positive terminal of the high-frequency electrosurgical unit and the negative terminal of the high-frequency power generator. At this point, the guidewire passes through the stenotic lesion under the action of a high-frequency current.

[0007] The advantages are as follows: the pressure pump structure, push rod structure, and rapid exchange structure combined constitute the necessary basic structure of this utility model, and are also an important foundation for the significant technical breakthrough of this utility model. An extension end is provided on the surface of the push rod structure, and a conductive element is provided on the extension end. This arrangement facilitates connection to the negative terminal of the high-frequency power source generator. The integrated conductive element and extension end provide better connection stability. The tail end of the guidewire is connected to the positive terminal of the high-frequency electrosurgical unit, which is in turn connected to the high-frequency power generator. At this time, the positive terminal of the guidewire and the negative terminal of the conductive element form a complete circuit through the high-frequency power generator. After the high-frequency power generator is activated, the guidewire has high penetration ability and can easily pass through the blocked lesion, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of the operation, reducing the operation time, and improving the patient's surgical success rate, representing a significant breakthrough over existing technologies.

[0008] A further improvement is that the pressure pump structure includes a three-way three-port, one end of which is provided with a pressure pump port, and the three-way three-port and the pressure pump port are integrated into one unit.

[0009] The advantages are: the pressure pump port can deliver liquids or gases, and the three-way connector can connect multiple pipes to allow liquids or gases to pass through, controlling the flow rate of liquids or gases between each pipe. The three-way connector can also selectively divert liquids or gases into different pipes.

[0010] A further improvement is that a push rod structure is provided at the other end of the three-way three-port, and the push rod structure is hollow inside.

[0011] The advantages are: the push rod structure allows for quick replacement of guide wires or balloons without the need for an assistant, making operation simple and requiring lower control precision.

[0012] A further improvement is that the quick-exchange structure includes an outer rod distal end disposed at the other end of the push rod structure. The surface of the outer rod distal end is provided with a side hole for the guide wire to pass through. A hollow guide wire cavity is formed inside the outer rod distal end to allow the guide wire to pass through. The guide wire cavity is used to guide the guide wire and allow it to pass through the interior of the outer rod distal end.

[0013] The benefits are: the outer rod has a side hole on its distal end surface that allows the guide wire to pass through, which facilitates quick guide wire replacement, and the guide wire cavity inside the distal end of the outer rod allows the guide wire to move more smoothly.

[0014] A further improvement is that the rapid exchange structure also includes a balloon, which is located at the other end of the outer rod, and the interior of the balloon forms a hollow chamber for the guidewire to pass through.

[0015] The effect is that the balloon provides flexible dilation and support to the blood vessels, and the guidewire needs to work in conjunction with the balloon when penetrating the blocked lesion. Balloon dilation and guidewire opening are important strategies for performing the surgery.

[0016] A further improvement is that the other end of the balloon is a pointed portion, and the interior of the pointed portion has a hollow chamber for the guidewire to pass through.

[0017] The effect is that the tip restricts the circumferential movement of the guidewire, allowing for better control and precise penetration of the guidewire into the lesion blockage site.

[0018] A further improvement is that the guidewire passes through a side hole on the distal surface of the outer rod and extends through the interior of the distal end of the outer rod, the balloon, and the tip portion.

[0019] The effect is that the guidewire passes through the distal end of the outer rod, the balloon, and the interior of the tip, facilitating actual operation during surgery.

[0020] A further improvement is that the conductive element is a metal electrode sheet.

[0021] The benefits are: the metal electrode sheets have better conductivity and a longer service life.

[0022] A further improvement is that the high-frequency electrosurgical unit has an autonomous selectable switch mode, which selectively activates the high-frequency electrosurgical unit according to the ease with which the guidewire passes through the stenotic lesion, thereby allowing the forward vascular recanalizer to pass through the stenotic lesion.

[0023] The advantage is that the switchable high-frequency electrosurgical unit can independently control whether the guide wire is connected to high-frequency current, making it more convenient in practical use. Beneficial effects

[0024] This invention connects the tail end of a guidewire to the positive terminal of a high-frequency electrosurgical unit, which is then connected to a high-frequency power generator. An extension end with a metal electrode plate is mounted on the push rod structure, connected to the negative terminal of the high-frequency electrosurgical unit, thus forming a complete circuit. This significantly enhances the guidewire's penetrating power. When the guidewire passes through the narrowed lesion again, the high-frequency current allows it to easily pass through the lesion, completing the surgery. This invention features a simple structure, low cost, and significant effectiveness. It can easily penetrate the occluded areas of calcified lesions, making it crucial for time-sensitive emergency surgeries and significantly contributing to the popularization of medical technology.
