The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without any inventive work based on the embodiments in the present application are within the scope of protection of the present application.
In the field of interventional medical device technology, a position close to the operator is generally defined as proximal and a position far from the operator as distal; the direction of the rotation center axis of an object such as a cylinder or a pipe is defined as an axial direction, and the direction perpendicular to the axial direction is defined as a radial direction. The definitions are for convenience only and do not limit the present application.
First embodiment
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 is a perspective view of an ostomy system according to a first embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the ostomy system shown in fig. 1. theostomy system 100 includes anelectrode holder 10, asheath assembly 20 and ahandle 30. Theelectrode stent 10 is accommodated at the distal end of thesheath assembly 20, and theelectrode stent 10 establishes a shunt channel at the tissue at the stoma by the action of expansion and ablation.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a perspective view of an electrode holder. Theelectrode stent 10 is released at the puncture site to the tissue at the stoma of the patient, and an artificial "defect" is formed in the tissue at the stoma of the patient by radio frequency ablation. Theelectrode holder 10 includes aproximal end portion 11, awaist portion 13, and adistal end portion 15 fixedly connected in this order. Theproximal portion 11 is received in the distal end of thesheath assembly 20.

Theostomy system 100 provided by the application can be applied to ostomy operations such as cardiac atrial septal group weaving port, gastrointestinal tract ostomy, arteriovenous fistulation and the like. When theelectrode holder 10 is pre-assembled in thesheath 20 without release, the diameter of thewaist 13 of theelectrode holder 10 is adjusted to a minimum for easy delivery and release. Thewaist 13 is used to deliver the tissue to the puncture site at the stoma, theproximal portion 11 and the distal portion 15 (fig. 3) are located at the openings on both sides of the puncture site, a predetermined stoma diameter can be calculated according to the patient's condition, and then the diameter of thewaist 13 is adjusted to be equal to or close to (e.g., within 5%) the predetermined stoma diameter.
Specifically, the diameter of thewaist 13 of theelectrode holder 10 is increased, the diameter-adjustingknob 3313 is used to drive the diameter-adjusting rack 3323 to move distally, so as to drive thewire 3331 and the diameter-adjusting wire 3332 to move distally, the diameter-adjusting wire 3332 wound around thewaist 13 becomes loose, the diameter of thewaist 13 of theelectrode holder 10 is increased, and the diameters of theproximal portion 11 and thedistal portion 15 are increased; accordingly, thediameter adjusting rack 3323 drives the pointer on thepointer plate 3351 to move relative to the dial 3353 through the diameter adjusting gear set 337 and indicates to a larger size on the dial 3353.
When the size of thewaist portion 13 is adjusted too large to exceed the preset stoma diameter, the diameter of thewaist portion 13 of theelectrode holder 10 needs to be reduced. Specifically, the diameter-adjustingknob 3313 is used to drive the diameter-adjusting rack 3323 to move proximally, so as to drive thewire 3331 and the diameter-adjusting wire 3332 to move proximally, the diameter of thewaist 13 of theelectrode holder 10 is reduced, and the diameters of theproximal portion 11 and thedistal portion 15 are reduced; accordingly, thediameter adjusting rack 3323 drives the pointer on thepointer plate 3351 to move relative to the dial 3353 and indicate to the smaller size on the dial 3353.
Thescale assembly 335 can accurately indicate the diameter of thewaist 13 of theelectrode holder 10, thereby facilitating operator control of the size of the shunt passage required to be established. Specifically, the diameter adjusting size range is 4.0-16.0 mm. It is understood that the range of the diameter-adjusting size is not limited to 4.0-16.0mm, and the diameter-adjusting wire 3332 wound on thewaist 13 can be adjusted according to the determined size of thewaist 13 according to the actual condition of the patient.

During the process that therotating cylinder 351 drives thesheath connector 3531 to move from the distal end to the proximal end in theguide slot 311, after the part with the largest diameter of theproximal portion 11 of theelectrode holder 10 is released from thesheath 21, thesheath connector 3531 pushes the abuttingportion 3573, the locking portion 3575 (proximal end) of the lockingmember 357 rotates in the direction away from themain shaft 31, and thedriving rack 3532 disengages from the pushrod connector structure 355 before pushing the transmission gear set to rotate, so as to unlock the pushrod connector structure 355.
In the process that therotating cylinder 351 drives thesheath connector 3531 to move from the proximal end to the distal end in theguide groove 311, thesheath connector 3531 continues to push the abuttingportion 3573, and before theproximal portion 11 of theelectrode holder 10 with the largest diameter is retracted or retracted into thesheath 21, thesheath connector 3531 is far away from the abuttingportion 3573 after thedriving rack 3532 is disengaged from thetransmission structure 356, and the lockingmember 357 is engaged with the pushrod connector structure 355, so that the pushrod connector structure 355 is positioned.
The conveyingdevice 35 further comprises anelastic member 358, and one end of theelastic member 358 is fixed to a side of the lockingportion 3575 facing away from themain shaft 31 through welding. Thehandle 30 also includes a housing 37 (shown in FIG. 2) and a grip 38 (shown in FIG. 2). Thehousing 37 is fitted over the proximal end of themain shaft 31. Theelastic member 358 is located between the lockingportion 3575 and the inner wall of thehousing 37, and is used for resetting the lockingmember 357 when thesheath connector 3531 is away from (not contacting) the abuttingportion 3573, and pushing the lockingportion 3575 to rotate toward the direction adjacent to themain shaft 31, so that the proximal end of the lockingmember 357 is locked with the pushrod connector structure 355, i.e. thefirst locking tooth 3576 is engaged with thesecond locking tooth 3554. Thehandle 38 is sleeved on the distal end of themain shaft 31, and therotary cylinder 351 is located between thehandle 38 and thehousing 37. Thehousing 37, thegrip 38 and thebarrel 351 together form an outer shell of thehandle 30.
The following is a brief description of theostomy system 100 establishing a shunt channel for the interatrial septum of the heart, where the ostium is the interatrial septum between the left atrium and the right atrium of the heart, i.e., theostomy system 100 is used to establish a shunt channel for the interatrial septum of the heart.
Firstly, puncturing the interatrial septum by using a puncturing mechanism, feeding a guide wire into the left upper pulmonary vein after puncturing, and removing a puncturing kit. The dilator andsheath assembly 20 is advanced over the guidewire of the secondinner sheath core 25 into the left atrium, and the guidewire and dilator are removed. Theelectrode stent 10 is advanced over the guidewire through the lumen of the secondinner sheath core 25 into the left atrium.
Assuming the state of theostomy system 100 when theelectrode holder 10 is not released as an initial state: at the distal end of theostomy system 100, the opening of the pushingmember 23 is retracted inside the opening of thesheath 21, the diameter of thewaist 13 is reduced to a smaller extent by thesizing wire 3332, and thewaist 13 is fixed to the distal end of the pushingmember 23 by thesizing wire 3332, so that theelectrode holder 10 cannot move back and forth in the axial direction. Theelectrode holder 10 is axially elongated so as to be radially compressed and fully received in the opening of thesheath 21, without thedistal end portion 15 of theelectrode holder 10 protruding from the distal end of thesheath 21. The sheath tube joint 3531 and thedriving rack 3532 are arranged at intervals and do not contact with each other, the connectingportion 3536 of the secondelastic piece 3543 is contained in the containingcavity 3545, the position of the connecting portion is an initial position, thedriving rack 3532 is meshed with thetransmission structure 356, and the drivenrack 3553 is meshed with thetransmission structure 356. Thesheath connector 3531 is away from the abuttingportion 3573 of the lockingmember 357. Theresilient member 358 abuts the inner wall of thehousing 37 and the lockingmember 357 is in the locked position, i.e., thefirst locking tooth 3576 engages thesecond locking tooth 3554.
The process of releasing theelectrode stent 10 includes:
a first period: thedistal part 15 of theelectrode holder 10 is released in the left atrium, thewaist 13 in the atrial septum perforation site and a part of theproximal part 11 in the right atrium, in particular where the diameter of theproximal part 11 is largest.
Specifically, by holding thehandle 38 and rotating therotating barrel 351 in a first direction (e.g., clockwise when viewed from the proximal end to the distal end of the ostomy system 100), therotating barrel 351 drives thesheath connector 3531 to move proximally in the axial direction, thesheath connector 3531 drives thesheath 21 to move proximally, thesheath connector 3531 gradually approaches theactive rack 3532, and theelectrode holder 10 is gradually released from thesheath 21.
After the maximum diameter portion of theproximal portion 11 of theelectrode holder 10 is released from thesheath 21, thehook portion 3537 contacts the connectingportion 3547 of the secondelastic member 3543 in theaccommodating groove 3545, and as thesheath connector 3531 gradually moves proximally, thehook portion 3537 lifts the connectingportion 3547 in the accommodating groove 3545 (as shown in fig. 7), and is inserted into the farthest end of theaccommodating groove 3545 through the connecting portion 3547 (as shown in fig. 14 and 16), while thegroove 3536 faces the connectingportion 3547, and the connectingportion 3547 drops to the initial position; at the same time, or before this moment, the bottom of thesheath connector 3531 abuts against the abuttingportion 3573 of the lockingmember 357, and pushes the abuttingportion 3573 to drive the locking portion 3575 (the proximal end of the locking member 357) of the lockingmember 357 to rotate in a direction away from themain shaft 31, so that the abuttingmember 357 is converted from the locking position to the unlocking position, and thus, thepush rod connector 3551 can drive the pushingmember 23 to slide in theguide slot 311 of themain shaft 31 along the axial direction.
A second period of time: theproximal part 11 is further released in the right atrium until theelectrode holder 10 is completely released.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, therotary cylinder 351 continues to rotate in the first direction, the sheath joint 3531 drives thedriving rack 3532 to move towards the proximal end in the axial direction, and thesheath 21 moves towards the proximal end; the plurality of teeth at the proximal end of thedriving rack 3532 are engaged with thetransmission structure 356 and drive thetransmission structure 356 to rotate, the drivenrack 3553 engaged with thetransmission structure 356 is driven by thetransmission structure 356 to move towards the distal end, thepush rod connector 3551 drives the pushingelement 23 to move towards the distal end until the distal end of the pushingelement 23 extends out of thesheath tube 21, theelectrode stent 10 is completely released from thesheath tube 21, and after the complete release, the inner wall of thesheath tube 21 does not compress theelectrode stent 10 any more, so that the diameter of theproximal part 11 of theelectrode stent 10 is enlarged relative to the diameter before the complete release, and theproximal part 11 is more easily attached to an atrial anatomical structure. In the second time period, thesheath 21 moves towards the proximal end, the pushingmember 23 moves towards the distal end, that is, thesheath 21 and the pushingmember 23 are linked, and in the releasing process of theelectrode support 10, as thesheath 21 and the pushingmember 23 are linked, that is, thesheath 21 moves towards the proximal end, and the pushingmember 23 moves towards the distal end, under the condition that thewaist 13 is fixed, the diameter of theproximal portion 11 is further enlarged, the diaphragm between the left atrium and the right atrium can be better attached, and thewaist 13 is tightened by thediameter adjusting wire 3332 so as to be accurately fixed at the puncture position, thereby accurately positioning the subsequent position which needs to be ablated.
The diameter adjusting process comprises the following steps: after a second period of time, the appropriate size may be selected for burning according to the patient's specific condition, and the diameter of thewaist 13 of theelectrode holder 10 may be adjusted to establish an appropriate interatrial septum shunting channel.
A pulse ablation process: after confirming that the tissue at the stoma is properly apposed to theelectrode holder 10, the proximal end of thecable 40 is connected to a radio frequency power source (ablation power source, not shown), and heating parameters (e.g., power 20-80W, duration 10-50S) are set, and then heating is initiated. After the heating is stopped, theelectrode stent 10 may be recovered to thesheath 21 and removed from the body, and whether the stoma diameter is as expected or not may be measured.
A process for recovering anelectrode stent 10, comprising:
a third period: rotating therotator barrel 351 in a second direction (e.g., counterclockwise when viewed from the proximal end to the distal end of the ostomy system 100), therotator barrel 351 causes thesheath connector 3531 to move axially towards the distal end, and thesheath connector 3531 causes thesheath 21 to move distally. Thesheath 21 gradually accommodates the proximal end of theelectrode holder 10 therein; meanwhile, thehook 3537 of thedriving rack 3532 pulls the bottom of themain body 3541 to drive thedriving rack 3532 to move towards the far end, and thedriving rack 3532 drives the drivenrack 3553, the push rod joint 3551 and the pushingelement 23 to move towards the near end through thetransmission structure 356.
In the third time period, the maximum diameter of theproximal portion 11 of theelectrode holder 10 is located outside thesheath 21, a part of theproximal portion 11 is accommodated in thesheath 21, the radial dimension of theelectrode holder 10 is compressed by the inner wall of thesheath 21 under the action of pulling thepush rod connector 3551 towards the proximal end, the axial length is lengthened, and theelectrode holder 10 is further recovered into thesheath 21, because the radial dimension of theelectrode holder 10 can be compressed in the recovery process, theelectrode holder 10 is recovered smoothly, the diameter of theproximal portion 11 of theelectrode holder 10 can be designed to be larger, so that theproximal portion 11 can better fit the diaphragm between the left atrium and the right atrium, and the accuracy of positioning the ablation part is improved.
The sheath tube joint 3531 drives thesheath tube 21 to move towards the far end, and the near end of thedriving rack 3532 is limited (cannot be lifted) by thehook portion 3537 in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction. Since the connectingportion 3547 is disposed on the top surface of themain body 3541 away from the bottom of theguide slot 311, the twobent portions 3548 are connected to one end of themain body 3541 and extend to two opposite sides of themain body 3541, that is, thebent portions 3548 are exposed out of themain body 3541. The bottom wall of theinclined portion 313 of themain shaft 31 is inclined and abuts against the bottom of thebent portion 3548. During the process that thedriving rack 3532 moves distally along theinclined portion 313, before the maximum diameter of theproximal portion 11 is retracted into thesheath 21, the secondelastic member 3543 is lifted until thehook portion 3537 and the bottom of the connectingportion 3547 do not overlap in the axial direction, the bottom of the connectingportion 3547 cannot block thehook portion 3537, so that thehook portion 3537 is disengaged from theaccommodating groove 3545, and thesheath connector 3531 is separated from thedriving rack 3532. At this time, or after this time, thesheath connector 3531 and the abuttingportion 3573 of the lockingmember 357 are disengaged from each other and slide distally, and theelastic member 358 abuts against the inner wall of thehousing 37, so that the proximal end of the lockingmember 357 abuts against themain shaft 31, and the lockingmember 357 is shifted from the unlocking position to the locking position.
In the third time period, the sheath joint 3531 drives thesheath 21 to move towards the distal end, and the pushingmember 23 moves towards the proximal end, that is, thesheath 21 and the pushingmember 23 are linked. At the end of the third period, theproximal portion 11 of theelectrode stent 10 is positioned outside thesheath 21 where the diameter is the largest. And in the first period, thebent portion 3548 is also jacked up by theinclined portion 313 in the process that theconnection portion 3547 of the secondelastic member 3543 is jacked up by thehook portion 3537.
And a fourth time period: the rotatingcylinder 351 continues to rotate in the second direction, therotating cylinder 351 drives thesheath tube connector 3531 to move along the axial distal end, thesheath tube connector 3531 drives thesheath tube 21 to move towards the distal end, and thedriving rack 3532 and the pushingelement 23 are fixed relative to themain shaft 31. Thesheath 21 retrieves the remaining portion of theelectrode stent 10 therein.
In the fourth time period, after theproximal portion 11 is completely retracted into thesheath 21, and before the distal portion is retracted into thesheath 21, that is, when thewaist portion 13 is located at the distal opening position of thesheath 21, the diameter-adjustingwires 3332 around thewaist portion 13 are tightened, so as to avoid the situation that after thewaist portion 13 is tightened before, the operator rotates the components on thehandle 30 to retract theelectrode holder 10, which causes theelectrode holder 10 to move back and forth between the left atrium and the right atrium, and damages the heart tissue.
It is to be understood that theostomy system 100 may also be used in ostomy procedures such as gastrointestinal ostomy, arteriovenous fistulation, and the like.
Second embodiment
Referring to fig. 21-23, fig. 21 is an exploded perspective view of astoma system 200 according to a second embodiment of the present application, thestoma system 200 according to the second embodiment of the present application having a configuration substantially similar to thestoma system 100 according to the first embodiment. With reference to fig. 24, thesheath adapter 653 includes asheath adapter 6531 and adriving rack 6532, which are fixedly connected, and thedriving rack 6532 is disposed at an interval of the transmission structure 656 (as shown in fig. 25 and 26). In an initial state without releasing theelectrode holder 201, thedriving rack 6532 is disposed at an interval from thetransmission structure 656, the connectingportion 6571 of the lockingmember 657 is pivotally connected to thespindle 611, and the lockingportion 6575 of the lockingmember 657 is locked with the bottom of the push rodjoint structure 655.
The sheath joint 6531 and thedriving rack 6532 are always connected to one body. Before thedriving rack 6532 pushes thetransmission structure 356 to rotate, the lockingmember 657 needs to be disengaged from the push rodjoint structure 655 to prevent the push rodjoint structure 655 from being locked.
It is understood that the sheath joint 6531 and thedriving rack 6532 are not limited to be fixedly connected, and the sheath joint 6531 and thedriving rack 6532 may move synchronously. The sheathjoint structure 353 does not include a locking member, a first elastic member, a second elastic member, and an accommodating groove.
The main differences between the process of releasing and retrieving theelectrode holder 201 and the first embodiment include:
a first period: thesheath coupling structure 653 slides proximally as a whole, thedriving rack 6532 does not contact thetransmission structure 656 at the distal end (as shown in fig. 25 and 26), and when thesheath coupling structure 653 moves from the distal end to the proximal end until thedriving rack 6532 engages the transmission structure 656 (as shown in fig. 27), and at the same time or before this time, the bottom of thesheath coupling structure 653 abuts against the abuttingportion 6573 of the lockingmember 657 and pushes the abuttingportion 6573 to rotate the proximal end of the lockingmember 657 away from themain shaft 611, the lockingmember 657 is shifted from the locking position to the unlocking position, so that the pushrod coupling structure 655 can drive the pushingmember 623 to slide in themain shaft 611 along the axial direction.
A second period of time: the sheathfitting structure 653 slides proximally as a unit.
A third period: the sheathfitting structure 653 slides distally as a unit until thedriving rack 6532 disengages from thedrive structure 656 and thelocking element 657 shifts to the locked state.
And a fourth time period: the rotary cylinder 651 drives the sheathfitting structure 653 to move distally in the axial direction as a whole.
In theostomy system 200 according to the second embodiment, thesheath adapter 6531 of thesheath adapter structure 653 and thedriving rack 6532 are an integral component, thereby reducing the number of parts of theostomy system 200 and simplifying the structure of theostomy system 200.
It should be noted that the specific technical solutions in the above embodiments can be mutually applied without departing from the technical principle of the present invention.
The above disclosure is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present application, so that the present application is not limited thereto, and all equivalent variations and modifications can be made to the present application.
