Description

Intelligent control system for pulse electric field ablation signals
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pulsed electric field ablation, in particular to an intelligent control system for pulsed electric field ablation signals.
Background
Atrial fibrillation (atrial fibrillation) is the most common arrhythmia with a prevalence of about 2% and progressively increasing prevalence with age. The most serious complication of atrial fibrillation is thromboembolism, which can lead to stroke, myocardial infarction, etc., with stroke being the most common complication of atrial fibrillation death.
In recent years, the application of pulsed electric field ablation in the field of cardiac ablation has been explored at home and abroad, and favorable results have been obtained. Unlike conventional energy, pulsed electric field energy forms irreversible micropores on cell membranes by transient discharge, causing apoptosis, achieving the purpose of non-thermal ablation, also known as irreversible electroporation. Electroporation ablation has been used as an effective means of destroying malignant tissue. Pulsed electric field ablation can theoretically damage myocardial cells without heating the tissue, and has cell/tissue selectivity, protecting critical structures around the ablated tissue.
Pulse ablation is based on the principle that a short dc high voltage pulse can create an electric field of several hundred volts in the range of several centimeters, which can cause damage to the cell membrane to form perforations. If the electric field formed at the cell membrane is greater than a threshold, the electroporation that is formed is irreversible, maintaining the stomata open. Resulting in necrosis or apoptosis. Thus, pulsed ablation is a non-thermal biological ablation, as opposed to radio frequency, cryo, microwave, ultrasound. Can effectively avoid the damage of blood vessels, nerves and esophagus.
Recent studies have shown that although pulse electric field ablation does not rely on catheter abutment force to cause extensive myocardial damage, the depth of the pulse electric field abutment degree ablation is closely related, and foreign related studies have shown that myocardial damage can occur even without electrodes in direct contact with tissue. However, if the distance between the electrode generating the pulsed electric field and the myocardial tissue increases, the ablation depth decreases significantly, and a linear relationship is shown in fig. 1. Therefore, the previous catheter for radio frequency ablation is designed as a single electrode large head, and the single electrode head can be preloaded with a pressure sensor for judging the tissue abutting force. However, most catheters ablated by the pulsed electric field are arranged by multiple electrodes, so that the cost is obviously increased when the pressure sensor is arranged by the multiple electrodes, and the leaning direction is uncontrollable. Meanwhile, during ablation, the impedance between the electrodes of the partial pulse ablation channel is low, the electrodes are not abutted against the tissue, and the electrodes are in contact with blood, so that the ablation is ineffective.
Therefore, those skilled in the art have been working to develop an intelligent control system for pulsed electric field ablation signals that can determine the abutment between the pulsed ablation catheter and the myocardial tissue, reducing the number and frequency of ineffective ablations.
