Description
[0001]本出願は、2016年11月23日に出願された、「CATHETER WITH RETRACTABLE SHEATH AND METHODS THEREOF」と題する、米国特許出願第15/360,834号の利益を主張し、その全体が本明細書に参照として組み込まれる。
る。複数のOリングは制振機構孔の内壁によって半径方向に圧縮されている。
よび超音波トランスデューサを含む超音波エネルギー発生機構とを含むコンソールを含む。フットスイッチは、超音波エネルギー発生機構を起動および停止するように構成されている。
[0038]アテローム性動脈硬化症の外科手術は、1つまたは複数の管腔内デバイスを血管内病変に進めて血管内病変を修復することを伴い得る。例えば、血管形成術またはアテローム切除術は、血管内病変の修復のために、管腔内デバイスをガイドワイヤ上で血管内病変に進めることを伴い得る。しかし、管腔内デバイスをガイドワイヤ上で血管内病変まで進めることにより、特に管腔内デバイスの先端部が引っ掛かりガイドワイヤから外れ得る蛇行性の解剖学的組織においては、デバイスの複雑さから外科合併症をもたらし得る。本明細書では、いくつかの実施形態において、上記内容に対処する線形作動可能なカテーテル、システム、および方法が提供される。
線形作動機構174は更に、図2Bに示すように、コアワイヤ184の完全に伸長した第2の位置または状態からコアワイヤ184を後退させるように構成されている。コアワイヤ184が完全に伸長した状態では、先端部材または先端部186を含むコアワイヤ184の最大作業長lw(max)がシース管腔183の外側に露出される。
することなく、コアワイヤ184をスリーブ392から取り外すことはできない。いくつかの実施形態では、スリーブ392は、中間嵌めまたは締まり嵌めでコアワイヤ184を包んでいる。中間嵌めおよび締まり嵌めは、例えば、カテーテルアセンブリ160の組み立て中に、所望の嵌合をするために好適なサイズのスリーブをコアワイヤ184の周囲に熱収縮させることによって達成される。コアワイヤ184の周囲のスリーブ392は、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(「PTFE」)スリーブなどのポリマー製スリーブである。
