Abstract

PURPOSE:To simply and rapidly detect a region where a thrombus is generated, by providing an external thermistor detecting the temp. of an external fluid in the vicinity of an outflow port and providing an internal thermistor detecting the temp. of a physiological saline solution in the fluid passage guiding the physiological saline solution to the outflow port. CONSTITUTION:A catheter is inserted in a fine diameter tube, such as a blood vessel and a balloon 2 is expanded in the vicinity of a furcal tube where a thrombus is considered to be generated and the temp. of the blood from said furcal tube is detected by an external thermistor 14 and, thereafter, a physiologial saline solution is allowed to flow out from an outflow port 13 to be allowed to flow in the blood from the furcal tube and, at this time, the temp. thereof is again detected by the external thermistor. Since the temp. of the physiological saline solution flowing out of the outflow port 13 is detected by an internal thermistor 20, it is cleared whether a thrombus is generated in the furcal tube on the basis of the temp. of the physiological saline solution, that of the blood and that of the liquid mixture of the physiological saline solution and the blood.

This catheter is inserted into a small diameter tube such as a blood vessel, a balloon is inflated near the branch tube where a thrombus is thought to have occurred, and the temperature of the blood from the branch tube is detected with an external thermistor. If physiological saline flows out from the outflow port and flows into the blood from the branch pipe, and the temperature of the saline is detected again by the external thermistor at this time, the physiological saline flowing out from the outflow port will flow out. The temperature is detected by an internal thermistor, so it can be determined whether a blood clot has formed in the branch pipe based on the temperature of the saline, the temperature of the blood, and the temperature of the saline and blood mixture. . I! 11th,
If a thrombus has formed, the amount of blood from the branch tube will be nil or small, so the temperature of the mixed fluid detected by the external thermistor will be close to that of physiological saline. This is because the temperature of the mixed fluid is not very close to the temperature of saline.
