Definitions
- the invention relates to an instrument for unipolar ablation of heart tissue according to the preamble of claim 1.
- electrical ablation of cardiac tissue is used, e.g. B. for the treatment of arrhythmias.
- Electrical energy preferably in the form of high-frequency current, is introduced into the area of the cardiac tissue causing the arrhythmia, in particular the atrium, in order to specifically damage the tissue and thereby eliminate the cause of the arrhythmia.
- Instruments with bipolar and with unipolar supply of the HF energy are known. It is also known to pass a rinsing liquid through the instrument, which emerges at the distal end in the region of the electrode.
- the rinsing liquid e.g. B. a Ringer's solution or other electrolyte liquid is used for cooling and possibly to improve the electrical conductivity between the electrode and the tissue.
- the invention has for its object to provide an instrument of the type mentioned, which is inexpensive and enables ergonomically advantageous handling. This object is achieved according to the invention by an instrument with the features of claim 1.
- the instrument according to the invention for unipolar ablation of cardiac tissue is inserted through the open thorax or a minimally invasive incision into the atrium of the heart.
- the instrument has a rigid shaft tube, at the distal end of which the electrode is detachably attached.
- the shaft tube with the handle attached to its proximal end, the proximal electrical connection and the proximal connection for the rinsing liquid is designed as a reusable, disinfectable and sterilizable part.
- the electrode can be replaced in a simple manner, preferably plugged on, so that the electrode can be designed as a disposable consumable part. As a result, the instrument is inexpensive to use.
- the electrode can be snapped onto the distal end of the shaft tube by means of a latching device, so that the electrode can be replaced in a simple manner without the need for tools or special technical knowledge.
- the handle is preferably made of plastic and is sprayed onto the proximal end of the shaft tube, which on the one hand enables ergonomically advantageous handling of the instrument and on the other hand reduces the production costs.
- the invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it:
- FIG. 2 shows the distal end of the instrument in an axial longitudinal section along the line A-A in FIG. 1,
- Fig. 4 shows the distal electrode in a side view
- Fig. 5 shows an electrode sleeve in axial section.
- Fig. 1 the entire instrument for unipolar ablation of heart tissue is shown on a scale of about 1: 1.
- the instrument has a shaft 10, on the proximal end of which a handle 12 is attached.
- An electrode 14 is arranged at the distal end of the shaft 10.
- a flushing connection 16 At the proximal end of the handle 12 there is a flushing connection 16, axially aligned with the shaft 10, which is designed as a hose connection for plugging on a hose for the flushing liquid.
- an electrical connection 18 is provided at the proximal end, which is preferably used for the pluggable connection of a high-frequency current source.
- the handle 12 encloses the shaft 10 cylindrically in the manner of a spring holder handle.
- the distal end of the shaft 10 with the electrode 14 is angled against the longitudinal axis of the shaft 10 at an angle of approximately 30 ° to 45 °. This enables ergonomic guiding of the instrument and targeted insertion of the electrode tip.
- the shaft 10 is formed by an electrically conductive rigid metallic shaft tube 20, which is covered over its entire length by an electrically insulating sheath 22 made of plastic.
- the handle 12 is preferably made of the same plastic, so that the handle 12 together with the sheath 22 can be injection molded in one piece around the shaft tube 20.
- FIGS. 2-5 The structure of the distal end of the instrument can be seen in detail from FIGS. 2-5.
- the insulating jacket 22 ends in front of the distal end of the shaft tube 20, so that a distal end section 24 of the shaft tube 20 remains free of the jacket 22.
- an annular groove 26 is machined into the outer circumference of the shaft tube 20 immediately before the distal end of the sheath 22.
- the electrode 14 is formed by an essentially cylindrical body made of an electrically conductive material.
- the proximal end section 28 of the electrode 14 is inserted into the distal end of the shaft tube 20, the outer diameter of this end section 28 corresponding to the inner diameter of the shaft tube 20, so that the electrode 14 can be inserted into the shaft tube 20 essentially without play.
- the electrode 14 comes to an abutment 30 against the ' distal end edge of the shaft tube 20.
- the outer diameter of the outer collar 30 corresponds essentially to the outer diameter of the end section 24 of the shaft tube 20.
- the distal end of the electrode 14 forming the distal tip of the instrument is solid and bulging distally.
- a blind bore 32 leads coaxially into the electrode 14 from the proximal end.
- tion 32 leads in the distal direction beyond the outer collar 30.
- outlet bores 34 each offset by 90 °, lead radially from the circumference of the electrode 14 into the blind bore 32.
- the outlet bores 34 open at their outer end into a common circumferential recess 36 of the electrode 14.
- an electrode sleeve 38 made of insulating plastic is pushed from the distal end over the electrode 14 inserted into the shaft tube 20.
- the electrode sleeve 38 overlaps the distal end of the insulating jacket 22 with its proximal end axially overlapping.
- the electrode sleeve 38 continues the insulation of the jacket 22 without gaps.
- the electrode sleeve 38 has an inner locking cam 40, which snaps into the annular groove 26 of the shaft tube 20 when the electrode sleeve 38 is pushed on.
- the locking cam 40 can consist of a punctiform cam, a plurality of cams offset at an angle to one another or a ring cam covering a pitch circle.
- An inner collar 42 is formed in the electrode sleeve 38 in the distal end region.
- the inner collar 42 comes to rest axially on the outer collar 30 of the electrode 14 when the electrode sleeve 38 is pushed on, as a result of which the electrode 14 is fixed in the distal end of the shaft tube 20 and the electrode 14 by means of its outer collar 30 in electrically conductive contact at the distal end edge of the shaft tube 20 is held. This ensures a reliable electrically conductive connection between the shaft tube 20 and the electrode 14.
- the inner diameter of the electrode sleeve 38 is larger than the outer diameter of the electrode 14, so that between the electrode rode 14 and the electrode sleeve 38 a distally open annular gap 44 remains free.
- the outlet bores 34 open into this annular gap 44.
- the electrode sleeve 38 which is pushed and snapped onto the shaft tube 20, ends distally in a radially widened flange 46.
- the distal end of the electrode 14 projects beyond the flange 46 in the distal direction, so that the flange 46 acts as a stop limits the depth of penetration of the distal tip of the electrode 14 into the tissue to be treated.
- the proximal electrical connection 18 of the instrument is connected to an HF current source, not shown.
- the high-frequency current flows from the electrical connection 18 via the shaft tube 20 to the electrode 14, via the exposed distal tip of which the current is conducted unipolarly into the tissue to be treated.
- the handle 12 By means of the handle 12, the casing 22 and the electrode sleeve 38, the shaft tube 20 and the electrode 14 are completely electrically insulated on their outer circumference except for the electrode tip which remains free.
- a flushing liquid is introduced via the proximal flushing connection 16.
- the rinsing liquid flows through the lumen of the shaft tube 20 into the blind bore 32 of the electrode 14 and exits through the radial outlet bores 34.
- the circumferential recess 36 and the annular gap 44 ensure a uniform flow around the tip of the electrode 14 over the entire circumference.
