Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent obstruction to a blood capillary when a part of an embolus piece flows in the downstream of a blood vessel by finely granulating the embolus piece by rotation of a file part by flowing the eliminated embolus piece in a space between a housing and the file part through grooves arranged in a conical part and a diametrically contracted part. CONSTITUTION: A rigid head 1 is composed of a drill-shaped conical part 11 whose tip is chamfered, a columnar diametrically contracted part 12 whose diameter is contracted, a columnar file part 13 and a guide part 14. A spiral groove 15 is arranged in the conical part 11, and the groove 15 is connected to a groove 16 of the diametrically contracted part 12, and a groove 17 is also arranged in the guide part 14. A hard embolus is eliminated by a drill-shaped tooth surface of the conical part 11, and an eliminated piece of the embolus is made to flow in a space between the file part 13 and a housing 3 through the grooves 15 and 16 by a suction means arranged on the base end side of a balloon catheter 4, and is finely granulated by rotation of the file part 13. Therefore, flowing resistance in a lumen of the catheter 4 reduces, and particulates are discharged outside the body together with blood through the groove 17 of the guide part 14 and the inside of the lumen, and a pair of the eliminated piece of the embolus does not flow in a downstream blood vessel.

Since the embolus removal head of the conventional embolus removal catheter is constructed as described above, the removed embolus pieces are not atomized and pass through the ultrafine lumen of the catheter. There was a risk that the flow resistance at that time would be large, and even if suction was made from the downstream side of the catheter, a part of the embolic piece would flow into the downstream side of the blood vessel and block the capillaries.

Then, the reduced diameter portion 12 and the guide portion 14 having the same diameter are formed.
The conical portion 11 is provided with a spiral groove 15, and the groove 1
5 is connected to the groove 16 provided in the reduced diameter portion 12, and the guide portion 14 is also provided with a similar groove 17. The file portion 13 may have a structure in which a cutting material such as diamond powder is embedded in the surface, and the housing 3 facing the file portion 13
It is also possible to form the file 31 on the inner surface. The wire 2 is, for example, made of thin stainless steel, and may be covered with a flexible plastic to prevent damage to the inner wall of the catheter due to contact with the wire,
It is fixed to the base end surface of the guide portion 14. The rigid housing 3 is made of, for example, a hard alloy such as titanium alloy, stainless steel, or polycarbonate having excellent blood compatibility, and surrounds the reduced diameter portion 12 to the guide portion 14, and the tip of the housing 3 The surface abuts the proximal end surface of the conical portion 11, the outer diameter of the distal end region of the housing 3 is the same as the diameter of the proximal end surface, and the region integrally following the distal end region has the same outer diameter as the distal end region. A connecting portion that connects to the distal end portion of the catheter 4 is formed in a radial relationship, and the inner diameter in the range from the distal end surface to the proximal end surface of the guide portion is the same as the outer diameters of the reduced diameter portion 12 and the guide portion 14. is there. The body of the catheter 4, which is generally provided with a rubber balloon 41, is made of, for example, a plastic such as polyvinyl chloride, nylon, polyurethane, Teflon, or polyethylene terephthalate having excellent blood compatibility. It is fixed to the connection part with the same outer diameter relationship. For example,
As shown in the figure, the distal end of the catheter 4 is externally fitted and fixed to the connecting portion of the housing 3 having a reduced outer diameter, and surrounds the wire 2. The stopper means 5 is provided with the reduced diameter portion 1 as shown.
It is preferable that the housing 3 is formed by an annular rib provided on the outer circumference of 2 and a space provided in the housing 3 and abutting the rib to accommodate the rib.
Based on the above, other arbitrary means for prohibiting the forward and backward movement of the head 1 can be adopted. Further, the file portion 13
A cooling water supply lumen 42 communicating with a space formed between the housing 3 and the housing 3 may be provided in the wall thickness of the housing 3 and the catheter 4. To remove an embolus using the embolus removal catheter of the present invention, the blood flow can be stopped and the blood vessel can be advanced in the blood vessel via a lumen (not shown) provided in the thickness of the catheter 4. For example, in a state where saline is infused / inflated into the balloon 41, the catheter 4 is inserted into a blood vessel having an embolus deposited on the inner wall, and the wire 2 is driven by a motor (not shown).
The head 1 is advanced while rotating at a speed of 500 to 20,000 RPM. The hard embolus is removed by the drilled tooth flank of the cone 11.
Since the tip of the conical portion 11 is chamfered and the impact due to the deletion is mitigated by the flexible blood vessel, the blood vessel is not damaged. The removal piece of the embolus is passed through the grooves 15 and 16 by the suction means (not shown) provided on the proximal end side of the catheter 4 and the file portion 13 and the housing 3
Flows into the space between the inner wall and the inner wall of the catheter 4 and is atomized by the rotation of the filed portion 13. Therefore, the flow resistance in the ultrafine lumen of the catheter 4 is reduced, and the fine particles are in the groove 17 of the guide portion 14 and in the lumen. Is completely excreted from the body along with blood,
A part of the removed piece of the embolus does not flow into the blood vessel on the downstream side. In addition, as described above, the inner surface of the housing 3 facing the file portion 13 is formed into a file 31, and the atomized emboli that have collided with the inner surface of the housing 3 by the centrifugal force due to the rotation of the file portion 13 are further atomized. You can also let it. Further, in order to prevent heat generation due to sliding friction between the head 1 and the housing 3, silicone oil having excellent blood compatibility is applied to the sliding friction surface, or between the file portion 13 and the housing 3. It is also possible to supply cooling water from a cooling water source (not shown) to the space configured as above via the cooling water supply lumen 42 and discharge the cooling water to the outside of the body together with the blood and the atomized embolus by the suction means.
