Definitions
- the invention relates to a laser applicator with an elongated light guide having an inner core and a jacket surrounding the core, wherein in a decoupling region of the jacket has a series of openings whose opening area increases towards the distal end.
- Such a laser applicator is described in WO 2007/118745 A1 (Vimecon), the contents of which are incorporated by reference into the present description.
- the known laser applicator has an elongated flexible catheter containing a light guide. The distal end portion is formed into a lasso-like loop whose plane is transverse to the main part of the catheter. At the proximal end, laser radiation is fed into the light guide. At the distal End of the catheter is a decoupling, where the energy is decoupled laterally from the light guide and leaves the catheter.
- the laser applicator is used in particular for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and other heart rhythm disorders.
- heart tissue can be obliterated by conversion of light energy into thermal energy.
- the surrounding tissue is heated to values of more than 60 ° C., which leads to a denaturation of proteins and to the formation of an electrically inactive scar.
- the width of the cladding circular segment, which causes the decoupling can be changed over the length of the decoupling path.
- DE 10 2006 039 471 B3 describes a laser applicator which contains a catheter with a light guide.
- the sheath of the light guide has a recess at the light emerges laterally from the light guide. While the intact cladding of the light guide provides total reflection, thereby transporting the light energy longitudinally of the light guide, the recesses at the boundary of the core of the light guide cause refraction, thereby coupling out radiant energy.
- the recesses are discrete openings of round cross-section. Its diameter increases steadily from opening to opening towards the distal end of the light pipe and varies between a size of 20 ⁇ m for the first opening and a size of 100 ⁇ m for the last opening. In a particular variant, the distances between each two adjacent openings decrease in the direction of the distal end of the optical fiber. This is intended to compensate for the decrease in the radiation density in the optical fiber in the direction of its distal end.
- the invention addresses the problem of producing the decoupling path on a light guide by opening the cladding of the light guide to obtain a uniform energy density of the decoupled radiation over the length of the decoupling area.
- the invention has for its object to provide a laser applicator, which can be relatively easily and produced with high accuracy from the proximal to the distal end-expanding Auskoppelquerites.
- the laser applicator according to the invention is defined by the patent claim 1. It is characterized in that the openings are of uniform size and are grouped into spaced groups, the number of openings increasing from group to group towards the distal end.
- the invention provides that uniform openings are produced. These are generally openings of the same diameter. Such openings can be burned with a laser in the jacket of the light guide.
- the openings of uniform size are produced in a linear structure, ie a single-row chain of openings.
- the invention provides for the production of uniform openings that can be easily performed with a laser beam.
- the openings are grouped together, with the total opening area increasing distally from group to group.
- the openings are made of uniform size, the invention does not exclude that different types of openings are realized in individual areas of the row of openings. In any case, though the openings of a group of the same diameter. Preferably, all openings of the decoupling region are of the same diameter.
- the invention is based on the idea that the groups of openings may have mutual spacings without significantly impairing the effectiveness of the thermal tissue treatment along a continuous line.
- the thermal treatment tolerates short interruptions of the weld line. This is used to divide the row of openings into groups of openings having mutual distances of less than 500 ⁇ m. Preferably, the distances that the groups have from each other are substantially the same.
- the openings within a group are arranged along a line.
- the openings of all groups are arranged along a straight line.
- the openings of a group should be arranged relatively close to each other. Their distance is preferably smaller than the diameter of an opening.
- the fusion hole is preferably located at the distal end of the group.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of the general structure of
- Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of the groups of openings in
- Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of adjacent groups of openings.
- the laser applicator has a catheter 10 in the form of an elongated strand.
- the catheter contains one or more lumens. It is preformed as shown in Figure 1 and consists of a proximal portion 11 and a distal end portion 12. While the proximal portion has a substantially rectilinear course, the distal end portion is formed into a loop forming a circle open at one location , The loop plane lies transversely, in particular at right angles, to the longitudinal direction of the proximal section. It has such a size that it lays against the wall of a blood vessel from the inside with light pressure. The outer diameter of the loop is about 4 - 6 mm.
- the point A indicates the transition from the proximal portion 11 to the end portion 12.
- the point B denotes the distal end of the distal end portion.
- the decoupling region 13, in which laser energy is laterally decoupled from the catheter, extends from point A to point B.
- the laser applicator has the cross section shown in FIG. It has a one-piece elongated catheter body 15, the substantially circular cross-section and is provided with a longitudinal, substantially V-shaped groove.
- the groove 16 has two outwardly diverging flanks, which are coated with a reflective layer 17. The groove 16 extends into the vicinity of the longitudinal center axis of the catheter body 15th
- the catheter body 15 includes a lumen 18 for a forming wire 19 and two longitudinal cooling channels 20 and 21 that extend the entire length of the catheter.
- a light guide 25 is inserted from the outside.
- This has a core 26 made of a glass fiber and a cladding surrounding the core of a material with a lower refractive index than the core on.
- the light guide 25 is fixed in the groove 16 with a transparent adhesive 28.
- the catheter is enveloped on the outside with a transparent tube 29.
- the cooling channels 20, 21 are provided in the decoupling region with outlet bores 35, 36 which converge towards each other and send out cooling jets to the outside.
- the exit holes are at an acute angle to each other. They cause the cooling jets impinge on the target area of heat radiation.
- the exit holes have corresponding openings in the hose.
- the light guide 25 is first processed outside the catheter by 13 openings 40 are generated in the decoupling region in the form of small holes.
- the holes are thermally burned by irradiation with a focused laser beam into the material of the shell.
- the thus prepared light guide is inserted into the lateral groove 16 of the catheter body 15 and then fixed with the adhesive 28. Thereafter, the peripheral tube 29 is applied.
- the openings 40 in the jacket of the light guide are, with respect to the central axis of the catheter body 15, directed radially outward.
- the adhesive 28 contains dispersing particles.
- the radiation emerging from the core 26 of the light guide is scattered on the particles and reflected by the reflection layer 17, so that the radiation is focused in the focus 42 and acts there on the body tissue.
- FIG. 3 shows the arrangement of the openings 40 in the longitudinal direction of the light guide 25 over the length of the coupling-out region.
- the point A denotes the proximal end and the point B the distal end of the decoupling region 13.
- the Auskoppelquerschntt must increase towards the distal end.
- the openings 40 in the jacket 27 of the light guide 25 are bores having a diameter of 75 microns, which were thermally generated by a corresponding laser beam.
- the openings 40 are uniform in size. They all have the same diameter.
- the openings 40 are all positioned in a linear arrangement. They are grouped into groups 45. The number of openings within a group 45 varies. It increases from the proximal end A to the distal end B. It can be seen that the first group consists of only one opening. In the following, then the groups are getting larger, d. h., they contain more openings.
- the openings of a group are basically equally spaced. They are arranged so that they just do not merge.
- the groups 45 are spaced apart. The distance here is 400 ⁇ m. The group spacing is thus the same across the decoupling area.
- FIG. 4 shows an enlarged illustration of a sequence of groups 45a, 45b, 45c.
- the last openings of the group are combined to form a fusion hole 46.
- the fusion hole is formed by two openings overlapping each other with the degree of overlap in the groups 45a and 45b changed.
- the spacing of the groups is also 400 microns here.
- the invention makes it possible to produce the openings as uniform openings, the only varying parameter for changing the outlet area being the linear positioning of the openings.
