Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for high-frequency and in particular for radio-frequency and / or microwave catheter ablation of endomyocardial tissue and a corresponding ablation catheter.
- the object of the invention is to simplify the catheter ablation of endomyocardial tissue and to reduce the time and treatment required for this.
- this object is already achieved by a high-frequency catheter ablation device according to claim 1 and a high-frequency ablation catheter according to claim 10.
- catheters comprising several electrodes with selectively controllable electrodes, for the first time a linear ablation in the surface of the heart muscle can be carried out with a single application.
- the linear arrangement of the electrodes can also ensure that a region-wise and not only punctiform interruption of the stimulation line is obtained, and thus the effect of defects can be excluded more reliably than in the previous treatment methods.
- the shorter treatment time significantly reduces the burden on the patient, which is of particular importance in high-risk patients and makes the device according to the invention suitable for intensive care and inpatient emergency treatment. It has proven to be advantageous to use high-frequency generators with powers of up to 200 watts and more or commercially available high-frequency ablation devices together with the devices according to the invention.
- the invention is not limited to the specified performance of the high-frequency ablation device used and can essentially be used with any high-frequency ablation device.
- the electrodes are each assigned a few thermal sensors with which the operating temperatures of the electrodes can be detected, targeted and metered linear coagulation can take place in cooperation with a control unit.
- the operating temperature of the respective electrode is detected and its timing and absolute level are set or regulated by the control unit.
- the device according to the invention can essentially be advantageously operated in three different operating states.
- the unregulated, the partially regulated and the fully regulated operating state are the unregulated, the partially regulated and the fully regulated operating state.
- the radio frequency energy is applied to the respective electrode of the active catheter section during predefinable time intervals, preferably in each case 10 mS.
- Very thin and very elastic catheters can be used for this operating state, since thermal sensors can be dispensed with and the leads to them are consequently omitted.
- the catheters used here are also inexpensive and can be used under monitoring with an EKG device with known and adjustable operating parameters.
- the temperature of the electrodes is recorded, but a temperature sensor is used for more than one electrode.
- a temperature sensor is used for either all or for two or three ablation electrodes. This allows a very elastic catheter with good control behavior to be realized.
- the optimum treatment temperature or the optimal energy output along the entire active catheter section can always be achieved by using a temperature sensor for each ablation electrode, even under the most critical circumstances, for example in the case of difficult coupling to the tissue to be treated.
- the measurement of the impedance of the catheter electrodes with respect to an indifferent electrode arranged on the patient can provide information about the correct position of the active catheter section relative to the tissue to be treated.
- the high-frequency energy can also be advantageously supplied to the electrodes modulated in the form of fixed pulses with a changing frequency. It has proven to be advantageous to increase the temperature initially along a predefinable time-increasing reference curve, by comparing the actual / target value of the reference curve the current temperature value of the electrode is used to determine whether energy should be supplied to the electrode or in a later cycle. As a result, thermal overshoot over the setpoint and associated patient impairments are excluded with a high degree of certainty
- the generator By transferring the power supplied by the generator but not currently required to a load, the generator is protected from high load fluctuations and can make its power available more uniformly regardless of external disturbances.
- Electrodes that are separated from one another along an uninterrupted line with a length of up to approximately 7 cm by insulation regions, preferably at the end of the ablation catheter.
- the treatment is further supported and its safety is promoted if the temperature of a respective electrode and the duration of the energy delivery to this electrode are shown on a display device in the partially regulated or fully regulated operating state
- connection of one or more electrodes with an EKG monitor makes the local heart activity detectable and displayable before, during and after the treatment and thus provides the treating doctor with immediate information about its success
- the number of electrodes required for ablation, the desired Temperature, temporal energy supply and / or their respective operating state can be set.
- 1 is a schematic representation of the device for linear radio frequency, in particular radio frequency catheter ablation,
- Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the ablation catheter with respective electrodes and separated by isolation areas
- FIG 3 shows an enlarged illustration of a further embodiment of the ablation catheter with respective electrodes separated from one another by insulation regions and with light guides.
- FIG. 1 in which the device 2, designated as a whole by 1, is shown in a schematic block diagram.
- the device 1 comprises a connection 2 to a high-frequency generator 3.
- a high-frequency generator 3 instead of the high-frequency generator 3, however, a commercially available high-frequency ablation device 3 or a microwave generator 3 can alternatively also be used.
- the frequency range of the devices 3 should range from about 300 to about 750 kHz or higher, and powers of less than 50 W, 120 W, 150 W, 200 W or more can be used.
- the control unit 4 connects the catheter 5 to the HF generator 3 or the high-frequency ablation device 3 in the manner described in more detail below.
- the catheter 5 comprises a plurality of selectively controllable electrodes 6, 7 and 8, which are separated from one another by insulation regions 9 and 10 electrically isolated, but are kept mechanically flexible.

- thermal sensors 12, 13 and 14 there are fewer thermal sensors 12, 13 and 14 than electrodes 6, 7 and 8.
- Particularly preferred embodiments of this type of catheter have only a single or a thermal sensor 12, 13, 14 for two or three electrodes.
- the catheter for the non-regulated operating state which is not shown in the figures, preferably no thermal sensors are provided, although the catheters for the partially regulated operation and the fully regulated operation can also be operated in an unregulated manner.
- An HF filter 15 connects a preferably externally arranged unipolar or bipolar ECG monitor 16, depending on the design of the device according to the invention, either to one of the electrodes 6, 7 or 8, connects the device according to the invention to selected electrodes or to all of the electrodes of the catheter 5, in order to allow local statements about the cardiac activity and thus also about the conduction behavior before, between, during and after individual coagulation processes or after the treatment.
- the impedance of the electrodes 6, 7, 8 m with respect to the electrode 17 is recorded, displayed and / or stored in a time-related manner as a measure of the tissue contact.
- the treating doctor is thus offered the opportunity to document the correct implementation of the treatment, or for exercise, for example to record, evaluate and optimize treatment processes carried out in animal experiments.
- the device 1 comprises an operating unit 18 with which the operating parameters can be set via a keypad and / or level or adjusting elements.
- a display device 19 which has one or more numerical display fields or a display screen, the respective operating sensors and preferably the current operating temperature and the time profile or the time duration of the supply of high-frequency energy are displayed.

- the operating parameters required for treatment such as the number and number of the electrodes being controlled, the duration of the activation and / or the limit temperature can be entered.
- the electrodes 6, 7 and 8 are selectively supplied with high-frequency energy when the catheter 5 is inserted into the heart of the patient and controlled by the control unit 4.
- the current temperature is partially, completely or not detected by the thermal sensors 12, 13 and 14 and, if necessary, supplied to the control unit 4.
- the thermal sensors can include thermistors, thermal caps, thermal couplers and / or pelletizing elements as well as other sensors suitable for medical applications.
- a temperature in a temperature range of between about 40 to about 80 ° C, preferably at 45, 50, 55 or 60 ° C local coagulation scars become in the heart a depth of about 3 to 5 mm, whereby the heart function can be monitored on the ECG monitor 16 and, alternatively, the impedance of some or all of the electrodes 6, 7 and 8 can be displayed and recorded.
- the HF generator 3 or the commercially available high-frequency ablation device 3 can be connected to a load 22, which preferably comprises a cooled resistor, in order to do this To be able to operate the device 3 m in a stable, steady state, so that power fluctuations are avoided.
- the value of the load impedance corresponds approximately to the impedance of the tissue to be treated and the switching over to the electrodes 6, 7 and 8 as well as to the load 22 is carried out symmetrically to the reference potential of the indifferent electrode, preferably using power FETs.
- the catheter 5 comprises one or more light guides 23, which each emit linear light in the active catheter area.
- the light guide or the light guides 23 are arranged on the outer or inner circumference of the catheter 5 and, by evaluating the simultaneously recorded impedance values, allow thermal coagulation by means of light-frequency energy.
