The temperature of ablation areas is specified according to the needs for the treatment of.Depend on and required melt temperature, implanting device can be designed in certain area warmer than other region by using the magnetic of the material forming implanting device and hot attribute.In one embodiment, each several part of implanting device can be isolated with the other parts of implanting device or with the part heat of health or body fluid.
In a preferred embodiment, described system comprises a more than implanting device, and each implanting device is suitable for implanting and being deployed in one or more Ink vessel transfusing.Each can being suitable for of these implanting device is implanted and is deployed in one or more renal artery.
In particularly preferred embodiments, one or more implanting device of described system comprise the proximal portion with the first diameter and the extremity with Second bobbin diameter, and Second bobbin diameter is less than the first diameter and enough makes described implant be placed in one or more Ink vessel transfusing.
In particularly preferred embodiments, one or more implanting device of described system comprise the proximal portion with the first diameter and the extremity with Second bobbin diameter, and Second bobbin diameter is more than or equal to the first diameter and enough makes described implant be placed in one or more Ink vessel transfusing.
Should it is obvious that, the shape of implanting device can be suitable for being installed in concrete blood vessel.
In order to make the shape and size of implant, the data of the blood vessel of diameter change can be collected by scanning technique such as CT scan or MRI.According to these data, such as, for all two renal artery patients, people can derive the necessary shape and size of implant.Do not having can again complete this measurement in operating situation, increasing the comfort level of patient and healthy and reduce medical-risk thus.After this measurement, implant can be customized to coordinate one or more blood vessels of patient.
In a preferred embodiment, being made up of at least one material of display magnetic hysteresis at least partially of one or more implanting device of described system, such as ferromagnetic, Ferrimagnetic or anti-ferromagnetically material.In addition, external energy provides parts can form time-varying magnetic field in the position of one or more implanting device.In preferred embodiment, this time-varying magnetic field is formed by electric coil, and changing currents with time sends and passes through electric coil.
Magnetic hysteresis is derived from the too much of material.The most well-known and the most often use ferromagnetic, anti-ferromagnetically and ferrimagnetic material.These have the magnetic properties of nonlinearity, namely induced magnetic fields directly and material internal to be applied in magnetic field proportional.But exceed certain temperature, be called Curie or Ne&1&el temperature, all these materials lose its concrete magnetic properties.This temperature is for concrete material (material-specific).Exceed this temperature, ferromagnetic, anti-ferromagnetically and ferrimagnetic material become paramagnetism or diamagnetism, and lose its nonlinear magnetic properties thus.The nonlinear magnetic properties of ferromagnetic, anti-ferromagnetically and ferrimagnetic material can by delayedly inferring of observing when applying time-varying magnetic field.
Observe the magnetic hysteresis of magnetic material, such as ferromagnet.Ferromagnetic principal character there is spontaneous manetization.Ferromagnet is not usually uniform magnetization, but is divided into farmland (domains)--the region of evenly spontaneous manetization, its magnetization degree (magnetic moment of per unit volume) is consistent, but direction is different.When damaging other farmland, under the impact of external magnetic field, along field, the quantity on magnetized farmland and size increase.And the magnetic moment on certain farmland can rotate up side on the scene.As a result, the magnetic moment of sample increases.
The dependency (magnetization curve) of magnetic moment M to the intensity H of external magnetic field of ferromagnetic sample is shown in Figure 16.In enough strong magnetic field, sample be magnetized to saturated (thereupon, field increases further, M value keep almost constant--some A).At this, sample is made up of a farmland, and the magnetic moment of saturated Ms is along field orientation.Along with the intensity H of external magnetic field reduces, the magnetic moment M of sample will decline along curve I, be fundamentally that its magnetic moment is against field orientation because the outward appearance on farmland and growth.Domain growth is the motion due to domain wall.Hinder this motion because of the existence of various defect (such as impurity or inhomogeneities) sample, this enhances domain wall at some some places; Very strong magnetic field needs them to be shifted.Therefore, along with field H drops to zero, so-called remaining magnetic moment Mr (some B) is retained.Sample can only in enough strong field in the opposite direction by complete demagnetization, this is called as coercive field (coercivity) Hc (some C).Along with the magnetic field of opposed orientation increases further, sample magnetizes along field again to saturated (some D).Magnetic reverses (from a D to an A) and occurs along curve II.Therefore, along with field experience periodically-varied, the curve characterizing the change of sample magnetic moment defines hysteresis curve.If field H periodic variation, restriction makes magnetization not reach capacity like this, then the hysteresis curve of indefiniteness is produced (curve III).By reducing the change degree of field H to zero, sample can demagnetization completely (can reach an O).Sample is advanced from the magnetization of an O along curve IV.
Under magnetic hysteresis, the different value of magnetic moment M corresponds to the identical value of external magnetic field strength H.This nonuniqueness is the impact due to the sample state (that is, the magnetic foregoing history of sample) prior to given state.
The shape of hysteresis curve and size and amount Hc can in the scopes of various ferromagnetic extensive restriction.Such as, in pure iron, Hc=1 oersted, and in magnico alloy, Hc=580 oersted.Hysteresis curve is subject to processing the strong impact of material, and during process material, the quantity of defect changes.The area of hysteresis curve equals the energy of sample losses in the one-period of change on the scene.This energy is also proportional with the cumulative volume of ferromagnetic material in sample.This energy is finally for heating sample.Such energy loss is called as hysteresis loss.When hysteresis loss is inadvisable (such as, in the stators and rotators of semiconductor substrate and motor), use the soft magnetic materials with low Hc and minor loop area.On the other hand, need the hard magnetic material with high Hc to manufacture permanent magnet.
Along with the frequency (quantity of time per unit magnetic turn-around period) of alternating magnetic field increases, other loss caused by eddy current and magnetic viscosity is added into hysteresis loss.At high frequencies, the corresponding increase of the area of hysteresis curve.Contrast with above-mentioned static loop line, such loop line is sometimes referred to as dynamic loop line.
Ferromagnetic many attributes, such as resistance and mechanically deform, depend on magnetic moment.Magnetic moment changes and also brings the change of these attributes--such as, observe electrical effect respectively and magnetostriction is delayed.
Hysteresis curve depends on temperature.Figure 17 illustrates that typical temperature and Curie or Ne&1&el temperature are the dependency of the hysteresis curve of the magnetic material of 140 DEG C.Notice, the temperature dependency of shape is only characteristic, and axis does not provide unit, and this figure means illustrative purposes.Observe, hysteresis curve changes with temperature, becomes sharper thinner, finally disappears to Curie or Ne&1&el temperature.From this temperature, material becomes paramagnetism or diamagnetism, and due to delayed and do not observe loss on heating.This means that material no longer heats, be not at least due to hysteresis effect, and remain on Curie or Ne&1&el temperature.(hereafter, two terms " Curie " and " Nai Er " temperature can exchange use.) it is noted that the heating due to other impact such as directly or indirectly induction remains possible, but these impacts are left in the basket in the present case, and especially like this when comparing with the huge heating efficiency that hysteresis effect is brought.
Now to those skilled in the art should it is obvious that, when to comprise Curie temperature be such as the material of 40 DEG C for the ablation areas of implanting device, such as provide parts by the external energy of present system, implant will be heated until this temperature, and when standing time-varying magnetic field this temperature no more than.If melt temperature to need to be 42 DEG C or 45 DEG C, then variable this temperature that more makes of the magnetic material used in implant is for Curie temperature.This can have been come by the alloy composition such as changing magnetic material.The Curie temperature of magnetic material can very accurately design.

The Curie of alloy or composite or Ne&1&el temperature highly can depend on the technological procedure manufacturing these materials.Especially, annealing process is important.In addition, can use the alternate manner changing Curie temperature, such as ionizing radiation, to provide the material of expectation.People can use any magnetic material, alloy, bianry alloy, ternary alloy three-partalloy or quaternary alloy, the Curie expected or Ne&1&el temperature as standard reference works such as

Figure 19 illustrates the embodiment of the implant comprising electric fuse, makes at a certain temperature, and more specifically realizing at the temperature that optimal ablation reaches, between 40 and 80 degrees Celsius, more specifically between 45 and 60 degrees Celsius, the circuit that can generate is interrupted.This derives from following phenomenon: work as implant, it is more specifically metal implant, more specifically for Nitinol implants be brought to alternating magnetic field time, generate electric current by metal implant itself, therefore by itself generating the heating (responding to and Joule heating) accelerated.This phenomenon causes extremely promptly heating implant, and this can by interrupting stopping by the electric current of implant.The stopping of this electric current can be caused by the electric fuse be arranged in metal implant, and such as can there is the resistance of the open circuit when being heated beyond certain temperature.In this case, electric fuse, by stopping the temperature being heated beyond 45-60 degree further, is more specifically 50-55 degree.Figure 19 a illustrates the detail view of electric fuse.
In difference structure, as shown in Figure 20, metal implant can be built by marmem, makes when heater, and different metal part occupies another structure, and interrupting thus can by the electric current of implant.The details that switch or electric fuse open and close position illustrates respectively in figs. 20 a and 20b.This different structure namely opened is made up of the primitive form of metal potentially, and it is turned back to its " shape memory ".This is called as " shape memory metal ".
In still different structures, the details of as shown in Figure 21 and Figure 21 a, implant is made up of two kinds of different materials, can interrupt, pass through implant to stop electric current during the contact of these two kinds of different materials between heating two kinds of different metals.
Another part of behaving excellently of this application is, heating needs to be unidirectional.Blood need with heating isolate, for following two reasons: the first, blood should not be heated because the protein in blood can degeneration and formation grumeleuse; The second, because blood is huge heat dissipator, can deduct too much heat away from implant, it makes the ablation areas of implant arrive preferred temperature by needing excessive power.Therefore, wide coating formation is around implant, but almost complete in such as side, Figure 22 illustrated chamber far away, makes when implant is heated, does not have heat to dissipate towards blood stream.
Figure 23 illustrates concept of the present invention, and wherein implanting device (55) is provided with built-in thermal switch (54).Whereby, described implant is by applying time-varying magnetic field
and activate, the radio-frequency field that such as can be produced by electromagnet or solenoid or antenna (51).If described switch (54) is closed, then described time-varying magnetic field
electric current can be induced, by described pick-up loop (53) and described heater coil (52) in described circuit.Switch is closed or opens, and depends on that position of the switch place or temperature sensor are attached to the temperature of the position of described switch (can preferably via thermostat).
Figure 24 illustrates the size that implant is in expanding position in the blood vessel.Whereby, blood vessel (65) is typically wide between 5mm to 50mm, the diameter of such as 20mm.Heater coil (62) can be grown by about 20mm, and pick-up loop (63) is passable, and preferably, can be longer than 20mm.The thermal switch (64) of Figure 24 is positioned near heater coil (62), and depends on described heater coil place or neighbouring temperature and to open or closed.Heater coil and the blood vessel circumferential ablation areas subtend in the whole length of heater coil.
Figure 25 a-g illustrates different embodiment of the present invention, and the shape of its coil and absolute and relative large I are different between different embodiment.Heater coil (72) and pick-up loop (73) can know identification, and the pick-up loop (73) presented comprises a large amount of winding, to increase their inductance.Thermal switch (74), is attached to printed circuit board (PCB) (pcb) and coated in Figure 25 a-e, is connected to heater coil (72) and pick-up loop (73).In Figure 25 d-g, the pcb (75) comprising one or more electronic circuit may comprise thermal switch, and/or supply lines coil is connected to pick-up loop (Figure 25 f-g) or switch (Figure 25 d-e).The shape of coil can be arranged to be installed in concrete blood vessel, and (Figure 25 a) or cone-shaped vein or tremulous pulse (Figure 25 b-g) for such as cylindricality vein or tremulous pulse.Especially for renal artery, be first-selected for the cylinder shape heater coil be implanted in arterial lumens.
The winding of heater coil (76) brings out the temperature profile (77) in the wall (78) of blood vessel when activating implant.This is illustrated in Figure 26, and Figure 26 is illustrated, and heat major sedimentary is near winding, and the outside of blood vessel (79) also can be heated to an increase temperature.Modelling blood vessel and mechanism for testing allow setting to be used for the optimum temperature of implant aptly, with the signal jam path of ablation vessels inwall, and can damage the tissue that remain intact necessarily.
Other embodiment comprising such as PTC (80) or thermistor switch is illustrated in Figure 27 a-b, for the implant of essence cylindricality.
In some embodiments, be necessary or advise using the electric device needing to operate DC curtage.In such embodiment, it is necessary that implant comprises AC-DC converter, to convert the AC electric current flowing through implant circuit at least partially via induction to DC electric current.This transducer can obtain AC input current from pick-up loop or supply lines coil.Such transducer can be the part that can be attached to pcb (81) and be connected to the larger electronic circuit of coil as illustrated in Figure 28.
Figure 29 a-d illustrates electronic circuit, and it can be used in the embodiment of implant of the present invention.If big current is sent through heater wire or heater coil, then heater coil producing heat, and the temperature around heater coil rises.If there is no electric current by heater coil, then because cooling blood stream is inner, temperature is declined.For melting, the target temperature near 55 DEG C can need to reach and keep the regular hour to measure.Big current by heater coil by temperature sensor measurement temperature, and to switch to by switch (IC3) and opens or closes by digital thermostat PCB (IC1), forces the temperature near heater coil to rise or decline whereby.Heater coil by the energy sensed in large pick-up loop to provide power.Control circuit by the coil be separated to provide power.
Temperature sensor measurement internal temperature, and it is compared with 55 DEG C under 2 DEG C of hysteresis curves.If measured temperature is higher than 55 DEG C, then this chip provides high output voltage level (5V); If temperature is lower than the target temperature of 55 DEG C, then provide low output voltage level (0V).This thermostat chip (IC1) is used to carry out gauge tap (IC3), it is the solid-state relay (SSR) of the photoelectrical coupler with integration in this case, because this SSR can switch the alternating current responded to by pick-up loop.Because this switch (IC3) needs the larger electric current that can provide (thermostat chip can have low-down output current driving force) than temperature sensor, need to use buffer.Because high switcher input voltage causes closure state, low voltage causes open mode, and this buffer realizes by the inverter (IC2) with large output current.Resistor (R1) the limit switch drive current of such as 330Ohm between switch (IC3) and inverter (IC2), protection switch input whereby.This chain (Figure 29 b) provides temperature to control.Because this chain is made up of active device, this can only work when fully supplying.The chain of Figure 29 a provides the stable 5V service voltage output being supplied the input AC voltage that coil transmits by the circuit be separated.The lower AC voltage that this coil provides specific power chain to need.Input AC voltage is transformed into D/C voltage, higher than target 5V by half-wave rectifier (D1).Then use 5V linear regulator (IC4) that this voltage transition is become stable 5V power supply.The electric capacity of the visible such as 100nF of whole design is placed uncoupling (local stability of service voltage).
Symbol GND, VAC and 5V respectively represent net value, with identical name bound symbol.These do not have other physical meaning, are only that another connects.GND is the conventional sign (because all voltage all needs some points of reference line inside) of Voltage Reference.This should not be mistaken as is ground connection.GND is usually chosen as and connects with low-down impedance, is therefore usually embodied as reference plane.
Adapter CON1 is heater coil (p
enter1), circuit supply coil (p
enter2) and Voltage Reference GND (p
enter3) interface.
Another embodiment of circuit is shown in Figure 29 c-d.This plate is less style, as one that presents in Figure 29 a-b.Functionally to be consistent, but it uses comparatively gadget.Actuator (IC4) is different, and switch and resistor-junction synthesize a device (IC3).In addition, large adapter changes over three less adapter CON1-CON3.Extra adapter CONVCC, CONGND and CONT can be used
go outplate is divided into the platelet with temperature sensor and another plate with chip remainder.Like this, little temperature sensor can be taken to closer to heater coil.
In Figure 29 a-d, illustrate the embodiment according to implant of the present invention, wherein implant comprises the supply coil of separation, has special supply lines to provide other device, such as thermostat, inverter and constant DC voltage are the switch of such as 5V, as Figure 29 e illustrates.In other embodiment of implant according to the present invention, centre cap (center tap) can be used in pick-up loop side, to obtain the line power coil (Figure 29 f) that line power replaces being separated.This seems to be easier to be integrated in implant to replace using tertiary coil.This rear embodiment can cause following additional problem: centre cap can be placed in switch chain inside.If large electric current flows through coil combination, then the magnetic field cancellation that this electric current generates falls the actual external magnetic field causing this current flowing.This causes the voltage drop across coil terminals.This means when Closing Switch, the voltage across coil terminals can be more much lower than the situation opening switch.This voltage difference may cause defective regulator due to high power consumption.In order to solve this problem, need to add additional devices to circuit to prevent this problem.Such device can be added in such as microchip design.
Figure 30 a-34 illustrates external energy and provides the embodiment of parts, and it can be used in system of the present invention or method, for by providing time-varying magnetic field to supply energy to implant in implant position.
Figure 30 a-b and Figure 33-34 illustrates an embodiment, and the patient wherein with implant can sit down during heating process, because time-varying magnetic field preferentially produces in the arched arm (90) of generator (91).Arm can rotate, can preferably rotate around transverse axis (92), and patient's chair (93) is also rotatable, can preferably rotate around vertical pivot, and can move up and down, make to reach the best between the induction field in generator magnetic field and implant inductively.The optimum position of generator can be depending on patient, and the orientation being treated blood vessel of patient.Therefore generator is as illustrated in these figure, and wherein the orientation in magnetic field and size can change in time, are particularly preferred in the system and method that the document presents.
Figure 31 is shown in the probability that estrade (94) uses large magnetic field generator (91) around, and patient can lie on estrade (94) and accept treatment.Estrade flatly movement can pass through generator.
Figure 32 a-b illustrates magnetic field generator (91), and it can generate the field of different orientation, and the orientation of the electric current wherein responded in implant best can adapt to the mode of patient's dependence.
