Description

Catheter head end and catheter for heart mapping and ablation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of cardiac electrophysiology mapping and ablation, in particular to a medical electrophysiology catheter, and particularly relates to a catheter head end and a catheter for cardiac mapping and ablation.
Background
The high-voltage pulse ablation can selectively damage myocardial cells with lower voltage threshold, does not damage vascular smooth muscle cells with higher voltage threshold, does not damage nerves, adjacent blood vessels and other irrelevant tissues, has higher operation safety, and has quick ablation time and high efficiency, and has important application in the aspect of ablation of the adjacent tissues of the blood vessels (such as pulmonary vein isolation) in recent years.
Although high voltage pulse ablation does not require as much of an electrode catheter to abut against tissue as radiofrequency ablation, in practice studies have found that good abutment is still an important means of improving the effectiveness of pulse ablation. Meanwhile, most of high-voltage pulse ablation is interelectrode discharge, the distance between discharge electrodes is required to be relatively fixed, otherwise, the ablation effect is greatly different. In extreme cases, the discharge electrodes are in contact with each other with serious consequences.
The size of the blood vessel or other lumen to be ablated varies from person to person and the cross-sectional shape is irregular, making it difficult for conventional single-arm catheters to conform well to tissue.
The high-voltage pulse electric field ablation requires relatively stable discharge electrode spacing, and a plurality of electrode arms of the existing multi-arm catheter are unstable when being deformed in an abutting mode, so that the positions of electrodes between the electrode arms are not fixed after each deformation, and the requirement of stabilizing the electrode spacing is difficult to achieve.
When the conventional catheters are used for completing the ablation and the test of the ablation effect, the conventional catheters are required to be moved to perform the test of the ablation effect after the ablation, or the conventional catheters are required to be used for performing the test of the ablation effect after the ablation by using the second catheters to stretch into the catheter for matching, so that the operation is troublesome, the efficiency is low, and the cost is high.

The supporting strength and the compliance of the netlike head end 1 can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the supporting framework 11, the thinner the supporting framework 11 is, the smaller the supporting strength is, but the better the compliance is, and vice versa; it will be appreciated that, with respect to the existing single electrode tube arm (such as the annular head end), the mesh head end 1 distributed in a central symmetrical structure has a certain structural strength, so if the mesh head end 1 has the same supporting strength as the existing annular head end, the supporting framework 11 adopted by the mesh head end 1 can be thinner and softer, and can be deformed to a greater extent, and meanwhile, the stress of each electrode 13 is more uniform when the electrode is attached to a tissue.
