The forward ultrasonic transducer 6 is arranged at the front end of the outer catheter 1 and used for emitting ultrasonic waves towards the front end of the outer catheter 1, the forward ultrasonic transducer 6 is provided with a through hole communicated with the inner catheter 4, the inner diameter of the through hole is the same as the outer diameter of the inner catheter 4 and is 0.5-0.9 mm, thrombolytic drugs and microbubble contrast agents are conveyed through the inner catheter 4 or a guide wire is inserted into the through hole of the forward ultrasonic transducer 6 and is exposed out of the through hole. The lateral ultrasonic transducer 7 is provided at the outer side wall of the outer catheter 1 and serves to emit ultrasonic waves toward the lateral direction of the outer catheter 1. The forward ultrasonic transducer 6 and the lateral ultrasonic transducer 7 are electrically connected with the electric signal transmission line 3, and the electric signal transmission line 3 is used for applying electric signals to the forward ultrasonic transducer 6 and the lateral ultrasonic transducer 7, and the forward ultrasonic transducer 6 and the lateral ultrasonic transducer 7 form the ultrasonic thrombolysis probe 5. Wherein the front end is the end close to the thrombus, for example, the front end of the outer catheter 1 is the end close to the thrombus after the outer catheter 1 stretches into the blood vessel; the lateral direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer catheter 1.
In this embodiment, the forward ultrasonic transducer 6 includes a plurality of piezoelectric ceramic plates stacked on each other, and the polarization direction of the piezoelectric ceramic plates is parallel to the axial direction of the outer catheter 1, so that the piezoelectric ceramic plates can emit ultrasonic waves toward the front end of the outer catheter 1. Preferably, the number of the piezoelectric ceramic plates is 6, and the thickness of each piezoelectric ceramic plate is 0.1-0.25 mm, so that the piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer can generate larger vibration displacement and the energy for transmitting ultrasonic waves is larger.

For example, two adjacent piezoelectric ceramic plates are adhered together through conductive epoxy resin, and one sides of the same electrodes of the two adjacent piezoelectric ceramic plates are arranged in opposite directions, so that an electric signal can be applied to the same electrodes of the two adjacent piezoelectric ceramic plates through one lead wire, and the number of the lead wires and the size of the thrombolytic device are reduced. The positive and negative electrodes of the piezoelectric ceramic plates are respectively connected and led out through an electric signal transmission line 3, and then are insulated and sealed.
Further, the front end of the forward ultrasonic transducer 6 is provided with an acoustic matching layer, and the thickness of the acoustic matching layer is 0.5-1 mm. The arrangement of the acoustic matching layer allows the ultrasound waves generated by the forward ultrasound transducer 6 to act effectively on the thrombus, avoiding loss of ultrasound energy.

The energy of ultrasonic waves and the irradiation range of the ultrasonic waves can be improved by arranging a plurality of piezoelectric ceramic rings, and the more the number is, the stronger the ultrasonic energy is, and the wider the irradiation range is. Preferably, the distance between the lateral ultrasonic transducer 7 and the forward ultrasonic transducer 6 is 3-5 mm, so that the suction bolt holes 2 are conveniently formed between the lateral ultrasonic transducer 7 and the forward ultrasonic transducer 6.

In this embodiment, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet is made of a piezoelectric ceramic material in a sheet-like structure, and the piezoelectric ceramic ring is made of a piezoelectric ceramic material in a ring-like structure. Piezoelectric ceramics are a class of electronic ceramic materials with piezoelectric properties. The main differences from typical piezoelectric quartz crystals that do not contain ferroelectric components are: the crystal phases constituting the main components are all grains having ferroelectricity. Since ceramics are polycrystalline aggregates with randomly oriented grains, the spontaneous polarization vectors of the individual ferroelectric grains therein are also randomly oriented. In order to make the ceramic exhibit macroscopic piezoelectric properties, it is necessary to subject the piezoelectric ceramic to polarization treatment under a strong direct current field after firing and coating the electrode on the end face so that respective polarization vectors of the original disordered orientations are preferentially oriented in the electric field direction. After the electric field is canceled, the piezoelectric ceramic subjected to polarization treatment can keep certain macroscopic residual polarization intensity, so that the ceramic has certain piezoelectric properties. For a more detailed description of piezoelectric ceramics, reference is made to the prior art, and no further description is given here.
Preferably, the forward ultrasonic transducer 6 and the lateral ultrasonic transducer 7 operate at a frequency in the range of 200 to 800kHz. In practical applications, however, the operating frequencies of the forward ultrasound transducer 6 and the lateral ultrasound transducer 7 may be adjusted as needed to achieve the best thrombolysis effect.

Or the front end and the rear end of the lateral ultrasonic transducer 7 are respectively provided with a suction bolt hole 2.
Further, as shown in fig. 1, the inner catheter 4 is penetrated out from the side wall of the outer catheter 1 at an end remote from the forward ultrasonic transducer 6, and diverges and forms a "Y" shaped double-way tube. I.e. the front end of the inner catheter 4 is sleeved on the through hole of the forward ultrasonic transducer 6, the tail end of the inner catheter 4 is positioned outside the body and is provided with a Y-shaped double-way catheter, and the two separated catheters are connected with the injector 10 and are respectively used for injecting thrombolytic drugs and microbubble contrast agents. Of course, the catheters (outer catheter 1, inner catheter 4) may also be used for inserting a guide wire during insertion into a blood vessel, thereby guiding the sonothrombolysis probe to the thrombus site.
In this embodiment, the electrical signal transmission line 3 is disposed in the wall of the outer catheter 1, that is, when the wall of the outer catheter 1 is manufactured, the electrical signal transmission line 3 is wrapped in the wall material of the outer catheter 1. Of course, the electric signal transmission line 3 may be provided on the inner side wall of the outer catheter 1, but may affect the discharge of thrombus.
Further, the external catheter 1 is connected at one end (tip) located outside the body to a suction pump for extraction of micro plaque after thrombolysis. Preferably, the outer catheter 1 has a length of 90-110 mm to facilitate better handling of the outer catheter 1 extending into the blood vessel.
Further, the interventional type combined ultrasonic thrombolysis device further comprises a change-over switch 8 and an ultrasonic signal generator 9, and one end of the electric signal transmission line 3, which is far away from the forward ultrasonic transducer 6 and the lateral ultrasonic transducer 7, is electrically connected with the ultrasonic signal generator 9 through the change-over switch 8. The forward ultrasonic transducer 6 and the lateral ultrasonic transducer 7 are connected to the same ultrasonic signal generator 9 through a change-over switch 8, and the ultrasonic transducers required to be used are controlled to work independently through the change-over switch 8. In practical application, two ultrasonic transducers can be respectively connected with two ultrasonic signal generators 9 according to the selection of the size, the type and the like of thrombus, so that the two ultrasonic transducers can be simultaneously operated according to the selection, and the optimal thrombolysis effect is achieved.
