Definitions
- the present invention relates to a laser light irradiation device, for example, when irradiating a laser beam to an animal tissue such as a human body to perform incision, transpiration or thermal treatment of the tissue, or in a narrow path of a living tissue, for example, in a blood vessel of a human body
- the present invention relates to a laser beam irradiation device used for enlarging a constricted portion caused by a cholesteric outlet.
- laser light was emitted from the tip of the optical fiber in the past, but recently the laser light was transmitted to the optical fiber first due to severe damage to the members.
- Laser light is incident on the emission probe placed in front of the tip, and while the probe is in contact with animal tissue (hereinafter simply referred to as tissue), laser light is emitted from the surface of the probe and the tissue is irradiated with laser light.
- tissue animal tissue
- the present inventor has developed various emission filters and is widely and widely used.
- the present inventor has proposed, as Japanese Patent Application No. 63-171688, a laser treatment apparatus for burning a stenosis caused by cholesterol in a blood vessel with a laser beam.
- the method includes a laser light retain their cancer tissues about 4 2 ⁇ 4 4 e C by irradiating 1 0-2 5 minutes to cancer tissue, is intended to be necrotic.
- the effectiveness of this method has been reported by the present inventors in the Laser Society of Japan, Vol. 6, No. 3, January 1986, pages 71-76 and pages 347-350.
- HpD hematoporphyrin derivative
- the laser beam is uniformly applied to the cancer tissue, and in particular, in the case of thermal local therapy, the tissue is uniformly heated.
- the laser beam incident on the tissue is large at the center of the optical fiber or the emission probe, and decreases toward the periphery.
- the distribution shown in FIG. 8 is shown.
- the laser light amount is increased, the temperature distribution becomes almost similar and becomes large.
- the damage of the tissue in the peak portion of the temperature distribution becomes large.
- each probe is required. Unless the material contacts the tissue surface evenly, a uniform temperature distribution cannot be obtained. However, in order to bring each probe into contact with the tissue surface uniformly, accurate positioning of each probe is required, so that the operation is not performed quickly. Since they are provided in a one-to-one relationship, the overall diameter is large and cannot be used at all for catheters for narrow conduits, for example, in blood vessels.
- the present inventor has previously proposed using a laser beam irradiation probe instead of a conventional heat ray probe. did. this In this case, when inserting the probe into the blood vessel, the probe is inserted along the flexible guide wire previously inserted into the blood vessel. Further, as a specific example in the proposal, the guide wire 1 is disposed so as to be deviated from the axis of the probe in order to prevent the damage by laser light irradiation.
- the probe P when the probe P is sent, the probe P is connected to the blood vessel BV at the bent portion of the blood vessel BV. If the laser beam is irradiated at the position of the stenotic part m in this state, the normal blood vessel BV other than the stenotic part m will be pushed in against the natural bend. There is a risk that the laser beam may be perforated by laser light (so-called perfor- mation).
- the distribution of the laser beam irradiation energy from this probe is large at the center and small at the periphery, similar to the temperature distribution shown in Fig. 8 above. Therefore, even if the central portion of the stenosis is cauterized, the inner wall portion of the stenosis m often remains in an incomplete state without being cauterized. Therefore, if the power of the laser beam is increased to completely ablate the peripheral portion, there is a risk that the blood vessel may be perforated if the blood vessel is located in front of the center of the probe due to the bending of the blood vessel.
- a main object of the present invention is to irradiate a laser beam uniformly and as widely as necessary to a tissue, to achieve downsizing as an irradiation device, and to use a guide wire and a temperature detection lead wire as well as a probe.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a laser light irradiation device that can be axialized. Disclosure of the invention
- a laser light transmitting body and a plurality of laser light propagating bodies for injecting laser light into the transmitting body.
- a laser light irradiation device is provided in which a tip of a propagator is buried or disposed close to an incident surface of a transmitter, and a plurality of the propagators of laser light are disposed around an axis of the transmitter. .
- a plurality of laser beam propagators are provided around the axis of a laser beam transmitting body (hereinafter also simply referred to as a probe).
- a probe a laser beam transmitting body
- the energy distribution of the laser light from the probe tip shows a distribution with the peak at the center axis of the arrangement of each optical fiber, and when viewed as a whole, Fig. 7 It shows a uniform distribution over a wide range.
- the center of the blood vessel is conventionally apt to be cauterized, whereas the inner wall of the blood vessel can be cauterized.
- the inner wall of the blood vessel can be cauterized.
- the tissue in the case of hyperthermia, the tissue can be uniformly heated over a wide area, so that the number of treatments is reduced and a quick operation can be performed. Also, there is no organizational damage at the center of the target organization.
- a plurality of optical fibers are used for one probe. It can be easily inserted into a narrow body cavity.
- the laser beam is not emitted from the through hole portion, so that it is suitable for uniform emission and a guide wire can be inserted through the through hole.
- the probe With the guidewire in the center of the probe, the probe can always be centered in the vessel when pushing the probe through the guidewire (first
- the blood vessels are not unnaturally bent, and the danger of perforating the blood vessels by the irradiation of the laser beam is eliminated.
- Such a configuration also works effectively in the case of hyperthermia.
- thermocouple a temperature detecting lead such as a thermocouple can be inserted through the through-hole, the tip of the thermocouple can be punctured at the center of the tissue to be irradiated, and thermotherapy can be performed while detecting the temperature at the center. it can.
- a thermocouple was placed around the side of the probe, and treatment had to be performed while detecting the temperature of the portion deviated from the center of the irradiation target tissue. Hyperthermia can be administered under precise temperature control.
- a probe made of a ceramic material is rich in heat resistance and is effective for applications requiring heat resistance.
- the power of laser light is used only for heating tissue. It does not require high output, and low output is sufficient.
- the present inventors have conceived of using a plastic material as the probe.
- this plastic When this plastic is used, scattering powder that scatters laser light such as siri force is dispersed in the plastic in advance and molded into a predetermined shape. Since the light is emitted from the probe surface while being repeatedly scattered by the powder, the scattering effect is extremely large. Therefore, it has been found that irradiation over a wider area than the outer diameter of the probe is possible, and that since the material is plastic, there is an advantage that it can be formed into various shapes depending on the application.
- a temperature detecting lead used for heating tissue for example, a lead having a thermocouple at the tip can be plastic-formed so as to penetrate through the probe.
- a thermocouple is attached to a probe or a balloon, it is known that the thermocouple is separately provided from the probe or the balloon, or is adhered along the surface thereof.
- a thermocouple in order to detect the temperature in the tissue, a thermocouple must be punctured in the tissue separately from the contact of the probe with the tissue. Therefore, it was impossible to detect the tissue temperature at the front position of the probe to be detected.
- the tissue temperature at the front of the probe can be detected by running the thermocouple wire from the side of the probe to the front of the probe and bonding the tip of the wire to the front of the probe. Since the temperature is only the temperature of the tissue surface and not the temperature inside the tissue, the heating temperature controllability is poor.
