Abstract

PURPOSE:To secure such an inductor as capable of separating an in-vivo storage member from an inductor body without any fear of leaving an electrode behind in an organism by forming a surface area of an electrode at the in-vivo storage member side in a pair of electrodes to be smaller than that of the electrode. CONSTITUTION:A balloon 3 installed at a tip is connected to a tubular connecting member 2 by a bonding agent 5, and conductive metallic foils 12, 13 are installed on a surface of the connecting member 2. After a hardenable liquid is filled up in the balloon 3, if a high frequency current is made to flow therein, current density in an electrode 13 becomes large because a surface area of the electrode 13 installed at the side of the balloon 3 is formed to be smaller than that of an electrode 12, thereby the connecting part 2 is fused in and around the electrode 13. After the elapse of the specified time, if a catheter is pulled up, the balloon 3 is left behind because the connecting member 2 is fused in and around the electrode 13. At this time, these electrodes 12, 13 are separated from a part where the balloon 3 is left behind together with a catheter body 1. Consequently, there is no fear of leaving the electrode behind in an organism, and an in-vivo storage member and an inductor body are separable from each other.

Since it is now possible to remove the inflation balloon from the tip of the catheter at the target site, it has become possible to treat various vascular disorders that were previously impossible. For example, it has become possible to treat typical vascular disorders such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and arteriovenous fistulas. Also, for example, by placing an inflated balloon inside the aneurysm,
It is possible to prevent serious sequelae when the arteriovenous layer ruptures, and by occluding the blood vessels that flow into the arteriovenous malformation with the dislodged balloon, bleeding from the arteriovenous malformation can also be detected. It is now possible to prevent the aftereffects. Furthermore, if the arteriovenous route can be occluded, the blood flow in the artery can be restored to a state close to normal.

Next, the operation of the balloon catheter will be explained. The member 2 is fused as a high frequency current flows through the member 2 between the electrodes 12 and 13 made of conductive metal foil. It is preferable that the distance between the electrodes 12 and 13 be as close as possible because the member 2 can be melted down more accurately and in a shorter time.

Among the electrodes 12 and 13 made of conductive metal foil, the surface area of the electrode 13 provided on the balloon 3 side is smaller than the surface area of the electrode 12. As a result, electrode 13
The current density increases, and the generation of Joule heat increases near the electrode 13.

Therefore, the temperature at which the joining member 2 is heated is the same as the temperature at which the electrode 13

After filling the balloon 3 with, for example, a curable liquid, the joining member 2 is fused near the electrode 13 by passing a high frequency current. When the catheter is pulled after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the balloon 3 is left in place since the joining member 2 is fused near the electrode 13. At this time, the electrodes 12, 13 are pulled away from the site where the balloon 3 is placed together with the catheter body 1. Therefore, there is no possibility that the electrodes 12, 13 remain in the blood vessel. For example, if the bonding member 2 between the electrodes 12 and 13 melts, the lead wire 15 may be severed when the catheter is pulled apart, and the electrode 13 may remain in the blood vessel together with the balloon 3. This is the case.

In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the metal foils 12 and 13 are provided on the surface of the joining member 2, but the metal foil may also be provided on the inner surface of the joining member 2. Moreover, it is desirable that the metal foil be formed over the entire surface of the joining member. Note that if the joining member 2 can be cut by melting, a metal foil may be provided on a part of the outer circumferential surface of the joining member 2.

In the above embodiments, the electrodes were formed of metal foil, but the electrodes can also be formed by wrapping copper wire around other materials. In this case, by reducing the number of turns of the copper wire in the electrode on the balloon 3 side and increasing the number of turns of the copper wire on the catheter body side, the surface area of the tip side electrode can be reduced. Furthermore, the member 2 coated with a conductive metal can also be used as the electrode. Furthermore, electrodes in which conductive resin is used at locations corresponding to the electrode portions can also be used as electrodes.

That is, the diameter of the electrode is smaller on the balloon side, and even if the width of the electrodes is the same, the surface area of the electrode 13 on the balloon side is smaller than the surface area of the electrode on the other end side.
