Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a track ablation device, and more particularly to a biopsy track ablation device and method thereof.
  • Biopsy is the removal of a small piece of tissue from the body in order to determine the presence of disease.
  • a special biopsy needle may be used to penetrate the organ where the disease is suspected and to extract the tissue sample, which can then, for example, be examined under a microscope.
  • Current biopsy procedures may employ a special biopsy needle having an opening tray into which tissue will expend. Once the needle is in position within the tissue to be sampled, the physician releases a spring-loaded sheath, which slides over the tray cutting tissue sample free and trapping the tissue sample inside the tray. The biopsy needle is withdrawn from the patient.
  • Types of biopsy may include surgical biopsy and percutaneous biopsy.
  • the surgical biopsy also known as excisional biopsy, may involve removing entire mass of tumor for testing.
  • Surgical biopsy is often done by using the guidance of imaging or endoscopy. If cells cancer is present, a pathologist can usually tell the type of cancer, and whether the cells are likely grow fast or slowly.
  • the percutaneous biopsy is routinely done by using the guidance of medical imaging such as ultrasound, mammography or CT imaging. Usually, the primary physician, radiologist, surgeon or other physician will determine the most appreciated method of biopsy and guidance based on various factors including: i) tissue, organ or body part to be sampled,
  • a guide may be employed for the biopsy needle comprising a sharp rod (stylet) that is housed inside a hollow cylindrical tube (introducer needle).
  • stylet a sharp rod
  • introduction needle The introducer needled and stylet are inserted through the skin and into the organ of interest and then the stylet is removed from the introducer needle and replaced with the biopsy needle.
  • the biopsy needle is longer than the introducer needle to extend outward therefrom allowing multiple samples to be taken.
  • the biopsy is often performed to diagnose diseases and lesions of various organs including: bone biopsy, bone marrow biopsy, breast biopsy, joint biopsy, kidney biopsy, liver biopsy, lymph node biopsy, lung biopsy, pleural biopsy, prostate biopsy, small intestine biopsy, skin biopsy, synovial biopsy, thyroid and parathyroid biopsy.
  • the biopsy may also be performed to sample of following organs for cancer testing and other disease, such as adrenal gland, biliary tract, bladder, carpal tunnel, colon, endometrium, gingive (gums), heart, muscle, nerve, salivary gland, small bowel, mouth, nasal mucosa, rectum, testicle, throat and tongue.
  • the primary risk associated with organ biopsy, such as liver is bleeding after the removal of the needle from the patient.
  • the outside of the biopsy needle is coated with a thin layer of electrical insulation except for the last two centimeters.
  • a source of Radio Frequency (RF) electrical power is then connected the biopsy needle as it is withdrawn from the body to provide an electrocauterization of the needle track.
  • RF Radio Frequency
  • a significant drawback to this approach is the need to severely limit the power of the electrocauterizing source.
  • the investigators noted that at higher cauterizing power, there was visible thermal damage to portions of the biopsy specimen. A significant remains as to whether biopsy specimens using even lower power are not subtly altered by this process.
  • a secondary risk of biopsies of cancerous tissue is the risk of the biopsy needle seeding cancer cells into other tissues and bloodstream as the needle is withdrawn.
  • Bleeding presentations include subcapsular or parenchymal hematoma, hemobilia, or free intraperitoneal hemorrhage.
  • Intrahepatic or subcapsular hematomas are the most common of the bleeding complications and are noted on approximately 23% of ultrasound images obtained following biopsy. Such findings often are incidental, without associated clinical symptoms. They occur at similar rates after either blind or laparoscopy-guided modalities, but incidence may be influenced by needle type and imaging technique. Large hematomas are rare because of biliary obstruction. Symptomatic hematomas should be imaged by ultrasound but usually respond to conservative treatment with analgesics.
  • Intraperitoneal hemorrhage is the most serious of the bleeding complications. It is an early occurrence, most often observed during the first few hours following the procedure, although reports of this complication as long as 24 hours post-procedure have been noted. Late hemorrhage is associated with poor outcome. The overall rate of occurrence of peritoneal hemorrhage in a large study was 0.32%. Factors associated with increased risk of free bleeding include increased age, hepatic malignancy, multiple needle passes, and cirrhosis. Abdominal pain and persistent hemodynamic instability, presenting as tachycardia and hypotension, are typical of significant bleeding. Early diagnosis via ultrasonography is preferred. Transportation of tumor cells along the needle tract after biopsy of a malignancy is also a risk.

Le dispositif d'ablation de trace de biopsie comprend généralement a) un élément d'introduction (13) ayant un corps allongé (14) qui se termine à une partie d'extrémité distale (16), ladite partie d'extrémité distale (16) ayant un bord effilé (20), et l'extrémité opposée de l'élément d'introduction (13) étant une extrémité ouverte avec une encoche s'étendant axialement (17) ; b) une aiguille de biopsie (22) ayant un corps allongé (24) qui se termine à une partie d'extrémité distale effilée (26), un plateau (36) étant disposé pour fixer le tissu, et l'extrémité opposée de l'aiguille de biopsie (22) étant partiellement reçue par un manche (28) ; c) une aiguille d'ablation de trace (60) ayant un corps allongé (62) qui se termine à une partie d'extrémité distale effilée (64), l'extrémité opposée de l'aiguille d'ablation de trace (60) étant pourvue d'un manche (69), et ladite aiguille d'ablation de trace (60) étant en outre pourvue d'un élément chauffant (30) pour conduire de la chaleur à travers le corps allongé (62) vers la partie d'extrémité distale effilée (64) ; l'aiguille d'ablation de trace (60) étant excitée par l'élément chauffant (30) de manière à ce que l'aiguille d'ablation de trace (60) soit instantanément chauffée à une température suffisante pour cautériser la trace de biopsie.
