Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of radio frequency ablation catheter.More specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of cold brine infusion type radiofrequency ablation catheter.
Background technology
Radio frequency ablation catheter is the one of electrophysiologicalcatheter catheter, is mainly used in operation on heart, also starts in recent years to be applied to hypertensive treatment.
In operation, radio frequency ablation catheter percutaneous puncture is transported to the target site that pathological changes occurs, and the dispersing electrode of the ablating electrode and patient back that are now positioned at distal end of catheter forms loop.By ablating electrode by the transmission of radio-frequency energy of launching to the pathological tissues near it, make it dewater to solidify to lose conductivity function, thus realize treatment tachyarrhythmia or treat the objects such as hypertension.
Traditional ablating electrode, in order to reach darker depth of ablation, can use higher ablation energy clinically, easy in like this target site surface formation localized hyperthermia, easily facilitate thrombosis, eschar, thus affect safety and effectiveness, extend operating time, increase the misery of patient.
In order to darker depth of ablation can be reached, can while radio-frequency (RF) ablation, cool brine is sprayed equably around radio-frequency ablation electrode, the temperature of radio-frequency ablation electrode is alleviated while the depth of ablation that ablation catheter can be made like this to utilize higher power to reach darker, thus while guarantee therapeutic effect, can also prevent target site surface from forming localized hyperthermia, reduce incrustation and thrombosed probability, improve safety and the effectiveness of operation.
Current cold brine infusion type radiofrequency ablation catheter adopts a main cool brine transfer passage usually, and ablating electrode distributes the design of multiple perfusion channel.Because the perfusion channel of shunting is shorter, blood etc. easily enter into main transfer passage via perfusion channel, as long as this unique transfer passage blocks, will cause thorough blocking, lose cool brine conveying and perfusion ability.
Authorization Notice No. is that the utility model patent of CN 201453373 discloses a kind of rf ablation therapeutic instrument that automatically can control cold brine perfusion, comprise radiofrequency ablation therapy device, cold brine perfusion pump, cold brine perfusion conduit etc., by a quad, radiofrequency ablation therapy device is connected with cold brine perfusion pump.This utility model patent is pointed out: during without cold brine perfusion, and the temperature of conduit head end can reach 62 DEG C, and when adding cold brine perfusion, the temperature of conduit head end drops to 42 DEG C, greatly reduces the risk of incrustation or formation thromboembolism, adds the safety of operation.This utility model patent proposes the thinking of cold brine perfusion, but does not point out the concrete structure of cold brine infusion type radiofrequency ablation catheter.
Authorization Notice No. is the electrode that the utility model patent of CN 201244080 discloses that a kind of cool brine rinses radio frequency ablation catheter, on the cylindric body of cool brine flushing radio frequency ablation catheter electrode, four grooves are respectively opened as cool brine irrigation channel in the position of the quartering, it is characterized in that: head end is cross section, make 4 cool brine apopores be positioned at the groove of electrode tip proximal lateral, rinse along the longitudinal axis.This utility model patent only mentions the design of electrode tip, does not introduce the design of other dependency structures of cold brine infusion type radiofrequency ablation catheter.
The patent No. is in the United States Patent (USP) of US 6171275, proposes one and " has the electrode catheter (Irrigated split tip electrode catheter) of perfusing hole at far-end ".By being arranged on the fill orifice of ablating electrode far-end, in the ablation procedure of operation, pour into a certain amount of physiology cool brine.Cool brine can be cooled ablating electrode and pathological tissues surface when being flowed out by the opening on ablating electrode, so just can avoid surface incrustation while guaranteeing deeply to melt the degree of depth, thus improves effectiveness and the safety of operation.But this design also defectiveness, in ablative surgery, ablating electrode is likely close to diseased region inwall with its side or far-end.In this case, cardiac muscular tissue is melted, radio-frequency (RF) energy is launched by ablating electrode and thermal dehydration solidifies, but because fill orifice is positioned at the far-end of ablating electrode, and only have a cool brine transfer passage, therefore fill orifice and transfer passage are all easy to block, and cause occurring hot-spot and causing incrustation.
Authorization Notice No. is the cold brine infusion type radiofrequency ablation catheter that the utility model patent of CN201356648 discloses a kind of improvement, and this radio frequency ablation catheter has two irrigation and drainage orifices, greatly can improve the safety and reliability of radio-frequency (RF) ablation.Although this utility model patent is provided with multiple fill orifice, cool brine transfer passage is only one, same easily there is transfer passage blocking and cause and thoroughly lose perfusion functional.
The invention provides a kind of cold brine infusion type radiofrequency ablation catheter, wherein, cool brine adopts many transfer passages to be transported to multiple fill orifices of radio frequency ablation catheter, cool brine is transported to therapeutic target position along many paths, can ensure that radio-frequency ablation electrode has lower temperature while having higher-wattage, realize the degree of depth to melt, improve the safety and reliability of radio-frequency (RF) ablation simultaneously.Even if wherein a certain carrying path blocks, do not affect other carrying paths conveying cool brine yet, thus more guarantee the safety and reliability of operation.The present invention can be used as the radio frequency ablation catheter of the diseases such as treatment arrhythmia, also can be used as renal artery denervation and treat hypertensive radio frequency ablation catheter.In addition, guide-tube structure of the present invention is simple, is conducive to cost-saving.
