Description

An adjustable tunneling device for opening blocked arteries Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an adjustable excavation device for opening blocked arteries. Background Art

[0002] Peripheral artery occlusion directly leads to limb ischemia and, in severe cases, amputation. The substance that causes arterial occlusion: atherosclerotic plaque (hereinafter referred to as plaque), gradually calcifies, degenerates, and hardens over the long course of the disease, making it difficult to open occluded arteries and remove plaques with current intravascular interventional procedures. Therefore, this patent designs a device with strong positioning, uniform cutting, separation, and volume reduction capabilities. It can directly target lesions, grind them, and expel plaques from the body, achieving the goals of opening blood vessels, reducing plaque volume, gaining lumen, and restoring blood supply.

[0003] Currently, there are two core steps in the surgery: passing the guidewire through the lesion segment and removing the plaque. All plaque removal devices on the market require the guidewire to first pass through the occluded lesion segment (some even require full true lumen passage, which is almost impossible in completely occluded lesions) and enter the distal true lumen. Guidewire-guided plaque removal devices are a necessary prerequisite. Such device systems include (1) a thin metal guidewire for positioning, which passes through the plaque area, and the front end of the guidewire has an inherent bend at a certain angle; (2) a working part that is sleeved on the outside of the guidewire and can move along the direction of the guidewire and includes components such as a rotary cutting head; (3) an operating part located outside the patient's body to control the advance and retreat of the rotary cutting head; and (4) a connecting structure between the operating part and the working part. Others include external digital subtraction angiography (DSA) equipment for locating blood vessels and the device.

[0004] During the procedure, under DSA visualization, the surgeon guides a guidewire through the occluded segment. The rotary ablation device follows the guidewire to the working site, i.e., the location of the plaque. The surgeon activates the rotary ablation device, completes the plaque ablation, and simultaneously extracts the ablated plaque from the body. Finally, the guidewire is withdrawn. Existing devices that are closest to the invention include Medtronic's SilverHawk and TurboHawk systems, and Boston Scientific's Jetstream system.

[0005] Although the existing rotary cutting devices have the performance of cutting and separating, there are still problems: (1) The guidewire is required to pass through the true lumen of the occluded artery segment, which is only suitable for stenotic lesions and not for completely occluded lesions. Because the hard plaque completely fills the lumen, when the guidewire passes, most of the time it passes under the arterial intima (not in the true lumen of the artery), and the risk of arterial wall damage and rupture during rotary cutting is extremely high; (2) Passing the guidewire through the occluded artery is time-consuming and difficult, and sometimes it is difficult to open the artery, and the failure rate of the operation is high; (3) Subsequent operations such as positioning and advancement all rely on guidewire delivery, which lacks the directionality of plaque rotary cutting; The successful delivery and penetration of the guidewire is already very difficult, and the subsequent passage of the rotary cutting device is even more difficult, because the rotary cutting device with a large diameter is difficult to insert and advance when facing hard, non-lumen plaques. A small balloon is required to pre-expand a small lumen before it can pass through, which can easily lead to insufficient volume reduction and arterial perforation and rupture; (4) The plaque tissue is not homogeneous, and there are different components such as hard calcification, tough fibrous cap, soft lipid, etc. In the long plaque of an occluded artery, the difference in the force exerted on the guidewire in different components will affect its direction of travel, causing it to deviate from the original and ideal working position in the central axis of the arterial lumen, and fail to achieve the purpose of directional plaque excision; (5) Even if the guidewire passes through the target lesion, it has limitations in excision and volume reduction of local fine plaques. For example, if the positioning is inaccurate, the excision blade will be close to the outer wall of the normal blood vessel at the working site, and a regular arterial lumen cannot be obtained, which can easily lead to damage, perforation, and rupture of the vessel wall. At the same time, it is very easy to cause distal arterial embolism and aggravate limb ischemia when excisional plaques.

[0006] The reasons for the above problems are: (1) The directional positioning of the rotary cutting device depends on the guide wire passing through the true lumen of the occluded artery, that is, the path of the guide wire determines the direction of action of the subsequent volume reduction device. In addition, the completely occluded lesion has a tough texture, and the guide wire is a thinner metal wire. If the material properties are not considered, its rigidity has an absolute upper limit in structure, and it cannot break through some high-hardness plaques and pass through the lesion smoothly. In addition, the guide wire has directional uncertainty when moving in the plaque, and it is very easy to pass through areas outside the plaque, resulting in entering the subendothelium; (2) The blade of the rotary cutting device is often located in one direction on the side of the working part. Each rotary cutting can only remove plaque tissue in a specific direction. In order to completely remove the plaque, it is necessary to rotate the working part multiple times to change the direction. Multiple rotary cutting is time-consuming, complicated to operate, inefficient, difficult, and the operator is exposed to the X-ray for a long time; even if it is multi-directional rotation The cutting device is difficult to ensure that the blade is centered; (3) The power of the working part moving forward and backward depends on the operator's pushing action. This action is transmitted through the connection part, and the force acting on the plaque position will change or attenuate, affecting the sensitivity and accuracy of the operation; (4) The artery is a pulsating dynamic structure. Blood flow changes and patient muscle movements will affect the morphology of the blood vessels. The previous rotary cutting equipment is cumbersome to adjust and lacks an effective way to adjust the position and direction of the rotary cutting blade at any time, resulting in untimely avoidance and causing arterial damage, rupture and bleeding; (5) The intravascular positioning of the guidewire and rotary cutting equipment in the past relies on DSA technology. The planar image presented by DSA can only provide two-dimensional position information of the device at a fixed position, lacking the third-dimensional depth information. It has limitations and cannot efficiently confirm the position of the device in the three-dimensional space of the vascular cavity. Summary of the Invention

[0048] The outer sheath 2 is covered on the outside of the working part 1. The outer sheath 2 can adjust the propulsion direction of the working part 1. The outer sheath 2 is also used to support and fix the working part 1 to prevent damage to the normal blood vessel wall (the tunica media and the adventitia).

[0049] The above-mentioned adjustable directional excavation device for opening arterial occlusion does not require a guidewire to pass through the occluded artery first, but directly uses the working part 1 to grind the plaque and open the artery at the same time. The outer sheath 2 can adjust the propulsion direction of the working part 1 to increase the flexibility of the propulsion direction. The outer sheath 2 can also support and fix the working part 1 to increase its working stability, so that the working part 1 can adapt to blood vessels of different shapes, plaques of different hardness, and clearance requirements in different directions. At the same time, the present invention can also meet the clinician's needs for simultaneous and one-step blood vessel opening and plaque clearance, improve the convenience of equipment operation and the uniform and thorough plaque clearance, and has the advantages of greatly reducing the difficulty of surgery, shortening surgery time, exempting patients from stent implantation, and reducing long-term exposure of surgeons to X-rays.

The blade head 111 is movably mounted on the end surface of the blade holder 113, and the transmission rod 112 movably passes through the center of the blade holder 113. Optionally, the blade holder 113 is a rigid column.

[0054] In this embodiment, a cutter head 111 is located in front of the drill bit 11. Its surface, including but not limited to disc-shaped, conical, or cylindrical structures, possesses a sharp edge and is capable of both cutting and abrading when rotated. A first power source (motor) drives the cutter head 111 via a transmission rod 112 for rotational cutting.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transmission rod 112 is composed of a plurality of metal wires with a certain degree of bending flexibility, and the transmission rod 112 has a certain degree of rigidity for rotation around its axis. This not only provides the transmission rod 112 with a certain degree of flexibility, allowing it to bend synchronously when the outer sheath 2 adjusts the propulsion direction of the working part 1, but also provides the transmission rod 112 with a certain degree of rigidity for rotation around its axis, thereby ensuring that the power of the first power source (motor) can be reliably transmitted to the cutting head 111 through the transmission rod 112.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, the knife seat 113 is provided with first to third reserved holes 1134, the first reserved hole 1132 is located at the center of the knife seat 113, and the interior of the first reserved hole 1132 is provided with an interlocking groove 1135, and the transmission rod 112 is provided with an outwardly protruding flange 1121, and the flange 1121 is clamped in the interlocking groove 1135, and the second reserved hole 1133 and the third reserved hole 1134 are connected to the pipe 13.

[0057] In this embodiment, the flange 1121 is locked in the engaging groove 1135 , so that the cutter head 111 can be installed on the cutter seat 113 and can rotate freely in the cutter seat 113 .

[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, the propulsion system 12 includes:

[0059] Gear base 121;

[0062] In this embodiment, the gear base 121 is a rigid base having reserved holes for the transmission rod 112 and the transmission sleeve 123, and corresponding holes for mounting the gear set 122. The side opening of the gear base 121 is used to expose the worm 1226, so that the worm 1226 can mesh with the rack groove 1131. Optionally, the central gear 1223 is a hollow gear, within which the transmission rod 112 can pass and rotate freely.

[0063] It should be noted that the transmission sleeve 123 in this embodiment is a hollow, cylindrical metal sleeve with a certain degree of bending flexibility. The transmission sleeve 123 is entirely sleeved around the outside of the transmission rod 112, and the two rotate independently of each other. Driven by the second power source, the rotational force is transmitted to the central gear 1223, which in turn drives the right first gear 1221 and the left first gear 1225 to rotate, and the worm 1226 to move.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer sheath 2 comprises:

[0069] The working portion sheath 21 has a limiting groove 211 formed inside along the length direction, and the outer surface of the blade holder 113 has a limiting ridge 1136 formed along the length direction, and the limiting ridge 1136 cooperates with the limiting groove 211;

[0070] A guide sheath 22, the front end of which is connected to the working part sheath 21, and a plurality of wire holes 221 are provided in the inner circumference of the guide sheath 22, wherein a guide wire 222 is passed through the wire hole 221, and one end of the guide wire 222 is fixed at the connection between the guide sheath 22 and the working part sheath 21, and the other end of the guide wire 222 extends to the outside of the guide sheath 22, and the guide wire 222 can adjust the deflection direction of the working part 1;

[0071] The support sheath 23 includes a support sheath body 231 and a support airbag 232 . A hole is formed on the side of the support sheath body 231 , and the support airbag 232 is fixed at the hole.

[0072] In this embodiment, the working part sheath 21 is made of a cylindrical hard polymer material, and has a limiting groove 211 on the inside that is engaged with the outside of the propulsion system 12, limiting the tool holder 113 from sliding forward and backward without rolling itself, and assisting the tool holder 113 and the drill bit 11 in moving forward and backward stably.

[0078] 2) The guidewire sheath is positioned proximal to the target lesion.

Contrast agent is then injected through the fluid supply line 131 to perform angiography and clearly define the target lesion. Optionally, the location and morphology of the lesion can be displayed in conjunction with positional information provided by the front-end sensor.

[0082] 6) The first power source is turned off, the second power source is reversed, and the propulsion system 12 returns to its original position. The operator or related equipment then drives the device to move forward along the excavated plaque space.
