Description
I. 導入
II. 例示的なハイブリッド損傷形成装置
III.例示的なシステム
この詳細な説明のセクションの名称および全体の構成は、便宜を計る目的のためであり、本発明を制限する意図ではない。
本明細書は多くの構造を開示しているが、この構造は心筋組織に使用するのに非常に適しているため、主として心臓治療のコンテキストにて開示する。しかしながら、この構造は、他の種類の柔組織に関する治療にも応用できると理解されるべきである。例えば、本発明の様々な態洋には、前立腺、肝臓、脳、胆のう、子宮、胸、肺、およびその他の固形器官などの体のその他の部位に関する手順におけるアプリケーションがある。
本発明の一実施例によるハイブリッド損傷形成装置は一般的に、図1に符号1によって示されている。実施例は、外科用プローブ構成部材100とクランプ構成部材200とを含む。実施例のクランプ構成部材200は、取り外し可能にクランプに固定するよう構成され、従来のクランプを電気生理装置に変換して、以下により詳細に説明する方法で損傷を形成するのに用いられる。代替的に他の実施例では、クランプ構成部材がクランプ自体を具えていてもよい。外科用プローブ構成部材100およびクランプ構成部材200は共通の電子コネクタを共有することが好適である。これは、図13を参照して以下に説明する方法で、ハイブリッド損傷形成装置10を電気外科装置(“ESU”)に接続するのに使用されている。
非伝導性の外部ポリマーコーティング112を具える近位部108と、可鍛性マンドレル116および非導電性のマルチルーメン外部構造118を具える遠位部114からなる。近位部108は通常、長さが約15から40cmであり、一方、遠位部は通常、長さが約6から15cmである。可鍛性マンドレル116の近位端は、例えば、はんだ、スポット溶接、または接着剤により、ハイポチューブ110の遠位端の内側面に固定される。また、クリンプや機械的締結具といった機械的な方法を用いてもよい。可鍛性マンドレル116の遠位端は、先端部材120に固定されている。例示的な先端部材120には、縫糸用開口121(または縫糸用溝)が設けられている。所要であれば、医師は、縫糸を縫糸用開口121(または縫糸用溝の周囲)に通し、縫糸を用いてシャフト102を身体の組織の周囲で引っ張ることができる。
本発明の一実施例による組織凝固システム1000が、図13に示されている。例示的なシステム1000は、ハイブリッド損傷形成装置10と、液体供給および制御装置300と、電力供給および制御装置320とを具える。さらに、クランプ構成部材200は、クラン部202に取付けられて、クランプベースの組織凝固デバイスが形成されている。
