Description
バルーンカテーテルは、外筒シャフト1と内筒シャフト2とからなるカテーテルシャフト3と、膨張した状態で標的病変部に接触可能な形状を有し、外筒シャフト1の先端部と内筒シャフト2の先端部近傍との間に設置されたバルーン4と、体表面に配設される対極板5との間で高周波電力を伝送可能なバルーン4の壁内又はバルーン4内に配設された高周波通電用電極6と、高周波通電用電極6と電気的に接続される電極リード線7と、バルーン4内の温度をモニター可能な温度センサー8と、温度センサー用リード線9と、バルーン4内に導入された流体内に対流熱によりバルーン4内の上下間に形成される上下間温度格差を解消するように、バルーン4内の流体を上下間で旋回させ渦10を形成する渦形成手段12と、を備えている。
まず、振動駆動手段16を連結管で外筒シャフト1につなぎ、外筒シャフト1の内周1aと内筒シャフト2の外周2aとの間に形成される振動伝播流路14およびバルーン4内を流体で満たし、電源を入れると振動36は振動伝播流路14を伝播して伝わって、バルーン4の入口部18の近傍に配設された翼板32、34に至り、振動は翼板32、34によってバルーン4の下方向へ偏向され、バルーン4内の流体にたいして上下方向の回転力を与える。振動駆動手段16によって振動数と振幅を図12に示すように調節すると、バルーン4内を上下に旋回する渦10が形成され、バルーン4内の流体が攪拌される。次に、高周波発生器13により超高周波電流(13.56MHz)を高周波通電用電極6と対極板5に流すと容量結合型加熱が生じ、バルーン4およびバルーン4と接触する組織(焼灼部)41が高周波加熱されるが、バルーン内温度分布は通常であれば対流熱により上下の温度格差があるが、上下に旋回する渦10により攪拌されてこの温度格差が解消される。この結果、バルーンと接触する組織は均一に加温される。
第2の実施の形態においては、振動伝播偏向手段20は入口部18近傍に筒部50を備えている。筒部50は、一端に開口部51が形成され他端は底部で閉鎖されており、筒部50の同じ側の側部には第1孔部52と第2孔部53が形成されている。内筒シャフト2は筒部50の側面を稠密に貫通しており、第1孔部52と第2孔部53とは内筒シャフトを挟んで反対側に位置している。また、図4に示すように、筒部50は外筒シャフト1の内周壁に取り付けられた嵌め板55によって保持されている。嵌め板55によって外筒シャフト1内が塞がれているために、振動伝播流路14とバルーン4内とは、筒部50の開口部51と第1孔部52と第2孔部53とのみを介して連通している。筒部50は、振動伝播流路14からバルーン4内に伝搬する振動をバルーン4内の下方向(図3に示す場合)へ偏向させるように傾斜して配設されている。
第3の実施の形態においては、振動伝播偏向手段20は入口部18近傍に一対の一方向弁62、63を備えている。入口部18近傍には内筒シャフト2の外周部に保持具64が取り付けられており、一方向弁62、63は保持具64と外筒シャフト1の内壁との間に取り付けられている。一方向弁62、63は内筒シャフト2を上下に挟んで配設されている。一方向弁61はバルーン4内へ向かって流体を押し出すように開閉し、一方向弁62はバルーン4内から流体を吸引するように開閉するものである。
図7に示す高周波バルーンカテーテルにおいては、互いにスライド可能な内筒シャフト2と外筒シャフト1の遠位端間には右心室流出路を閉塞しうる拡張径25〜35mmの大型のバルーン4が設置されている。
第5の実施の形態においては、振動伝播偏向手段20は、外筒シャフト1に延設された先端が閉鎖された延長管部80を有し、延長管部80の下側側面に延びる枝管82が形成されている。延長管部80の先端部はバルーン4の先端部から突き出ており、バルーン4の先端部は延長管部80の先端部側に取り付けられている。内筒シャフト2の先端部は延長管部80の先端部に結合されている。本実施形態のおいては、バルーン4は外筒シャフト1と内筒シャフト2との間にスライド可能には取り付けられていないので、外筒シャフト1と内筒シャフト2とをスライドさせることによってはバルーン4を伸縮させることはできないが、血管内の動脈硬化の患部を焼灼する場合には支障がない。
