Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the invention is further described below by the specific embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present embodiment provides a docking and positioning device that can be applied to an interventional procedure for performing a windowing or suturing operation on a tissue 2 to be operated, where the tissue 2 to be operated may be a septum, a vessel wall, or a stent graft placed in an aortic vessel 100, etc. In the present embodiment, the operation of performing a windowing operation on the stent graft in the aortic blood vessel 100 will be described as an example. As shown in fig. 1, the docking positioning device specifically includes a guide end 1, a docking end 4, and an adjustor 7. Wherein, be provided with first magnetic pole 3 on the guide tip 1, be provided with second magnetic pole 5 on the butt joint end 4. One end of the regulator 7 is connected with one end of the butt joint end 4 provided with the second magnetic pole 5, and the position of the second magnetic pole 5 relative to the first magnetic pole 3 can be changed by regulating the regulator 7, so that the second magnetic pole 5 is close to the first magnetic pole 3 and reaches the adsorption range of the first magnetic pole 3. After the second magnetic pole 5 reaches the adsorption range of the first magnetic pole 3, the second magnetic pole 5 and the first magnetic pole 3 can be automatically aligned under the adsorption action of the first magnetic pole 3, so that the butt joint of the butt joint end 4 and the guide end 1 is realized.
The first pole 3 and the second pole 5 may be permanent magnets, electromagnets or other magnetic substances. When the first magnetic pole 3 and the second magnetic pole 5 adopt permanent magnets, the polarities of the opposite ends of the first magnetic pole 3 and the second magnetic pole 5 need to be opposite, and one or two of samarium cobalt magnets, neodymium iron boron magnets, ferrite magnets, alnico magnets or iron chromium cobalt magnets can be adopted as the permanent magnets, that is, the first magnetic pole 3 and the second magnetic pole 5 can be permanent magnets made of different materials.
Compared with the prior art, medical staff need to conduct windowing operation under the guidance of image equipment through self experience. In this embodiment, the automatic butt joint of the guide tube 4 and the guide end 1 is realized by using the automatic alignment of the second magnetic pole 5 and the first magnetic pole 3, so that the windowing mechanism can accurately and stably perform the windowing function on the tissue 2 to be operated after passing through the butt joint end 4, which is not only beneficial to reducing the windowing difficulty and improving the windowing precision and windowing speed, but also can reduce the requirements of windowing operation on surgical instruments, self experience of medical staff and image equipment. In addition, because the adsorption effect of the first magnetic pole 3 and the second magnetic pole 5 is utilized in the butt joint process, the windowing mechanism can not deviate in the windowing process, and the position accuracy of windowing and the windowing stability of the windowing mechanism are further improved. Of course, if the stitching operation needs to be performed in other embodiments, only the windowing mechanism needs to be replaced by the stitching mechanism, and the usage method of the stitching mechanism is the same as that of the windowing mechanism, which is not described herein.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, the first magnetic pole 3 is in a bowl-shaped structure, and the first magnetic pole 3 is configured in a bowl-shaped structure, so that the window opening mechanism can be guided to pass through the path of the tissue 2 to be operated by using the cavity of the bowl-shaped structure, which is beneficial to improving the window opening precision. Further, the first magnetic pole 3 may further be provided with a guiding structure 31, which can guide the windowing mechanism passing through the tissue 2 to be operated, so as to provide a larger operation space for the windowing mechanism, and facilitate the extraction of the guiding end 1. The guide structure 31 may be a guide groove or a guide hole provided on the first magnetic pole 3, and specifically, the guide groove may be a U-shaped groove as shown in fig. 2 or a circular hole. Of course, in other embodiments, the guiding structure 31 may be other structures as long as the guiding function can be implemented.
The setting position of the guiding end 1 is a key factor for determining the windowing precision, as shown in fig. 2, the guiding end 1 specifically comprises a positioning bracket, one end of the positioning bracket is provided with a conveying end 11, and the other end is provided with a first magnetic pole 3. In the process of conveying the guide end 1 to the tissue 2 to be operated, the conveying end 11 of the positioning bracket is clamped by a conveying appliance, so that when the guide end 1 reaches one side of the tissue 2 to be operated, the first magnetic pole 3 is just arranged right to the tissue 2 to be operated.
Since the docking positioning device is most often used for fenestration of a stent graft, in order to place a branch stent into the branch vessel 200 at the fenestration, since the guiding end 1 is typically placed in the branch vessel 200. Since the cross-section of the blood vessel is circular, the guide end 1 is not easy to move randomly in the blood vessel in order to improve the stability of the guide end 1 in the branch blood vessel 200, and the damage to the branch blood vessel 200 in the conveying process of the guide end 1 can be reduced by arranging the positioning bracket in a sphere shape or a shuttle shape.
Further, in order that the first magnetic pole 3 can be precisely aligned with the tissue 2 to be operated while the positioning bracket is kept in a stable state, the axial direction of the first magnetic pole 3 is set along the axial direction of the positioning bracket. In order not to affect the flow of blood in the branch vessel 200, the positioning bracket is provided with a hollowed-out structure. In this embodiment, the positioning bracket is a cage-like structure consisting of an annular frame 12 and a connecting rod 13. The connection manner of the ring frame 12 and the connection rod 13 is not particularly limited as long as it can be connected in a stable sphere, cylinder or shuttle shape, and is convenient for transportation, release and recovery. Of course, in other embodiments, the guiding end 1 may be arranged in a catheter-like structure.
In order to facilitate accurate delivery of the guiding end 1 into the branch vessel 200 and to facilitate retrieval of the guiding end 1 after the completion of the windowing operation, the docking and positioning device further comprises a delivery mechanism 8. As shown in fig. 3, the conveying mechanism 8 includes a conveying pipe 81 and a conveying seat 82 which are coaxially arranged, the conveying pipe 81 and the conveying seat 82 are all in a circular pipe structure, the diameter of the conveying seat 82 is larger than that of the conveying pipe 81, and the conveying pipe 81 and the conveying seat 82 are in transitional connection through a taper pipe. The recovery wire 83 passes through the cavity on the conveying pipe 81 and the conveying seat 82 to be fixedly connected with the guide end 1, the connection mode can be bonding or bolting, and the release and recovery of the guide end 1 can be realized by pulling the recovery wire 83.
Further, in order to avoid the guide end 1 from rubbing against the vessel wall to damage the vessel wall when the guide end 1 is delivered and recovered, a receiving cavity 84 for receiving the guide end 1 is provided in the free end of the delivery tube 81. When the guide end 1 is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 8, the guide end 1 is placed in the accommodating cavity 84, and the guide end 1 can be compressed to be placed in the accommodating cavity because the positioning bracket on the guide end 1 is hollow; after the guide end 1 reaches the specific position of the branch vessel 200, the guide end 1 is pushed out of the storage cavity 84 through the recovery wire 83, and the positioning bracket is restored to the original shape so as to be supported in the branch vessel 200; after the windowing operation is completed, the guide end 1 can be recovered into the receiving cavity 84 again by pulling the recovery wire 83, and is transferred to the outside of the patient along with the conveying pipe 81.
Further, in order to avoid the blockage of the branch vessel 200 after the tissue 2 to be operated is placed in the aortic vessel 100, so that blood cannot smoothly enter the branch vessel 200, a diversion hole 85 is further provided on the delivery tube 81, and the diversion hole 85 is provided to be capable of communicating the aortic vessel 100 and the branch vessel 200. The shape of the diversion holes 85 may be circular, square or other shapes, but is not limited thereto, and the number of diversion holes 85 may be specifically set according to the specific situation, for example, may be one, two, three or more.
The abutment end 4 mainly provides a guiding function for the windowing mechanism and achieves accurate alignment with the guiding end 1. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the butt end 4 specifically includes a catheter hub 41 and a catheter 42, the catheter hub 41 and the catheter 42 being coaxially disposed, and a first guide through hole being provided along the axial direction of the catheter hub 41 and the catheter 42. The diameter of the portion of the first guide through hole located in the catheter holder 41 is larger than the diameter of the portion of the first guide through hole located in the catheter 42, and the first guide through hole smoothly transitions at the junction of the catheter holder 41 and the catheter 42. The catheter 42 is made of a material having a certain hardness and capable of undergoing a certain deformation, and the specific material is not limited herein, and any material may be used as long as it can be used for a medical device and satisfies the above requirements.
The second magnetic pole 5 is disposed at the free end of the guide tube 42, and a second guide through hole is disposed on the second magnetic pole 5 so as not to affect the penetration of the windowing mechanism out of the butt end 4. In this embodiment, the second guide through hole and the first guide through hole are coaxially disposed and have the same diameter. The cross-sectional shape of the second magnetic pole 5 may be circular, polygonal, or other shapes, and is not particularly limited herein. Of course, in other embodiments, the diameters of the second and first guide through holes may also be different.
The fenestration mechanism is a main component for fenestration of the tissue 2 to be operated, and in this embodiment, a membrane-rupturing needle 6 is selected as the fenestration mechanism. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the membrane-breaking needle 6 includes a membrane-breaking needle seat 61, a membrane-breaking needle tube 62 and a membrane-breaking needle 63 which are sequentially connected, and the membrane-breaking needle 63 passes through the first guide through hole to reach the tissue 2 to be operated to perform a windowing task. In order to limit the moving distance of the membrane breaking needle 6, a limit boss can be arranged at the end part of the membrane breaking needle seat 61, the limit of the membrane breaking needle 6 is realized by the abutting connection of the limit boss and the catheter seat 41, and the situation that the moving distance of the membrane breaking needle 6 is too large to cause error injury to other tissues without windowing is avoided. Of course, in other embodiments, other devices may be used as the windowing structure, using lasers or optical fibers, etc.
The regulator 7 is mainly used to change the curvature and orientation of the end of the catheter 42 remote from the catheter hub 41, so that the position and orientation of the second magnetic pole 5 provided on the catheter 42 can be widely changed. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, 5 and 7, the regulator 7 includes a regulator body and a traction wire 74, one end of the traction wire 74 is connected with the regulator body, and the other end of the traction wire 74 is connected with the free end of the conduit 42, and the traction wire 74 can be pulled to move by adjusting the regulator body, so that the free end of the conduit 42 is driven to bend, and the position and the orientation of the second magnetic pole 5 are changed, so that the second magnetic pole 5 moves to be within the adsorption magnetic force range of the first magnetic pole 3.
The adjuster body may drive the traction wire 74 either in a moving or rotating manner, and in order to facilitate operation and to achieve accurate control of the catheter 42 and thus fine adjustment of the position and orientation of the second magnetic pole 5, in this embodiment, the traction wire 74 is selectively driven in a rotating manner. Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the regulator body includes a fixing base 73, a traction block 72, a knob 71, and a rear cover 75. The fixed seat 73 is of a columnar structure, the knob 71 is of a sleeve-shaped structure, the knob 71 is sleeved on the fixed seat 73, and a thread structure is arranged on the inner annular surface of the knob 71 and the outer annular surface of the fixed seat 73. The traction block 72 is arranged between the fixed seat 73 and the knob 71 and is in threaded connection with the inner annular surface of the knob 71 and the outer annular surface of the fixed seat 73, one end of the traction wire 74 is fixedly connected with the traction block 72, and the rear cover 75 is arranged at the rear end of the whole regulator body in a covering manner and is used for sealing the traction block 72. When the knob 71 is rotated, the traction block 72 can be driven to rotate around the outer ring surface on the fixed seat 73 and simultaneously move along the axial direction of the fixed seat 73, and the traction wire 74 and the traction block 72 synchronously move, so that the free end of the catheter 42 is bent. By controlling the number of rotations of knob 71, the distance of movement of pulling block 72, and thus the degree of bending of the free end of catheter 42, can be precisely controlled.
In order to improve the accuracy of movement of the pulling wire 74, a wire hole for allowing the pulling wire 74 to pass therethrough is provided in the axial direction of the tube wall of the catheter 42 as shown in fig. 6. The guide wire hole can be a through hole or a blind hole. In order to facilitate the medical staff to operate the regulator 7, the regulator 7 and the catheter seat 41 are integrally formed, and the regulator 7 is obliquely arranged relative to the catheter seat 41, so that the included angle between the axis of the regulator 7 and the axis of the catheter seat 41 is an acute angle, the operation habit of the medical staff is compounded, and the force is convenient to use when the knob 71 is rotated.
Taking an example of opening a hole in a covered stent positioned in an aortic blood vessel 100, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the use method of the docking and positioning device specifically comprises the following steps: firstly, a guide end 1 is placed in a branch blood vessel 200 by using a conveying mechanism 8, the guide end 1 is positioned at one side of a covered stent, and a first magnetic pole 3 on the guide end 1 is opposite to an opening position of the covered stent; then the butt joint end 4 is transmitted into a covered stent arranged in the aortic blood vessel 100, the covered stent is positioned at the other side of the covered stent, a knob 71 on the regulator 7 is rotated, a traction block 72 is utilized to drive a traction wire 74, the free end of the catheter 42 is bent, so that the free end reaches the adsorption range of the first magnetic pole 3, and the free end is aligned with the first magnetic pole 3 under the adsorption action of the first magnetic pole 3; finally, the membrane breaking needle 6 passes through the butt joint end 4, the windowing operation is carried out at the position of the membrane covering stent, which needs to be perforated, and after the windowing operation is finished, the branch stent can be arranged in the branch vessel 200 from the windowing position.
