Internal imaging catheter for reducing artifacts
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of internal imaging catheter equipment, in particular to an internal imaging catheter capable of reducing artifacts.
Background
In the prior art, the catheter with a double-lumen catheter is selected to realize the combination of guide wire penetration and internal imaging scanning, and the defect is that the guide wire must pass through the inside of the balloon and occupy one lumen with the filling lumen of the balloon respectively, so that the outer diameter of the catheter is increased, and the catheter is limited in smaller parts such as: coronary arteries or severely stenosed sites. In addition, the puncture of the guide wire in the balloon can generate artifacts, so that the quality of an internal imaging image is affected, and the accuracy of observation cannot be ensured.
Therefore, how to provide a small-sized internal imaging catheter with improved observation accuracy is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

The object of the present invention is to provide an internal imaging catheter with high observation accuracy and small size and reduced artifacts.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an internal imaging catheter for reducing artifacts, comprising: a catheter, the catheter comprising: a first end and a second end; the first end is provided with a guide wire cavity for penetrating the guide wire, and the guide wire cavity penetrates from the end face of the first end to the side face of the guide wire cavity; the second end is provided with an imaging cavity, and the imaging cavity and the guide wire cavity are mutually independent;
The imaging cavity is used for setting an inner imaging probe, the balloon is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the second end, and the imaging cavity is communicated with the interior of the balloon.
Alternatively, the inner imaging probe may be rotationally movable along the length of the imaging lumen.
Optionally, the catheter is connected with a control handle, and the control handle is used for controlling the inner imaging probe to realize inner imaging.
Optionally, the control handle is provided with an injection port for injecting liquid.
Optionally, the control handle is provided with a sealing ring to prevent liquid from seeping out.
Against the background of the invention described above, the present invention provides a catheter comprising a first end and a second end; the first end is provided with the seal wire chamber that is used for penetrating the seal wire, and the terminal surface of above-mentioned seal wire chamber one end setting at first end, on the terminal surface of pipe promptly, the lateral wall to first end is worn out to the other end in seal wire chamber, and the operator can penetrate the seal wire in the seal wire chamber and make it wear out to the pipe side.
The second end is provided with an imaging cavity, the imaging cavity and the guide wire cavity are respectively arranged inside two ends of the catheter and are mutually independent, and the imaging cavity and the guide wire cavity are non-conductive. An inner imaging probe is arranged in the imaging cavity, an expandable balloon is sleeved outside the second end of the catheter, the imaging cavity is communicated with the interior of the balloon, and an operator can inject liquid into the balloon through the side window to realize the expansion of the balloon. The internal imaging probe can perform internal imaging scanning inside the balloon, and the internal imaging scanning inside the balloon can enable the internal imaging probe to be closer to the actual scanning position, and because the setting position of the guide wire cavity is a certain distance from the balloon, the influence of the artifact generated by the guide wire on the internal imaging scanning result is reduced, so that the scanning accuracy is improved.

Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and detailed description for the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to better understand the aspects of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1 of the drawings, fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an internal imaging catheter for reducing artifacts provided by an embodiment of the present invention, comprising: a conduit 1, the conduit 1 comprising a first end and a second end; the first end is provided with a guide wire cavity 2 for penetrating the guide wire, one end of the guide wire cavity 2 is arranged on the end face of the first end, namely the end face of the catheter 1, the other end of the guide wire cavity 2 penetrates out to the side wall of the first end, and an operator can penetrate the guide wire into the guide wire cavity 2 and make the guide wire penetrate out to the side face of the catheter 1.
The second end is provided with an imaging cavity 3, the imaging cavity 3 and the guide wire cavity 2 are respectively arranged in the two ends of the catheter 1 and are mutually independent, and the two are not conducted. The inside of the imaging cavity 3 is provided with an inner imaging probe 4, the outside of the second end of the catheter 1 is sleeved with an expandable balloon 5, the imaging cavity 3 can be communicated with the inside of the balloon 5 through a side window formed in the side wall, and an operator can inject liquid into the balloon 5 through the side window to expand the balloon 5. The internal imaging probe 4 can perform internal imaging scanning inside the balloon 5, and the internal imaging scanning inside the balloon 5 is closer to the actual scanning position than the internal imaging probe 4 in the prior art, and because the setting position of the guide wire cavity 2 is a certain distance from the balloon 5, the influence of the artifact generated by the guide wire on the internal imaging scanning process is reduced, thereby increasing the scanning accuracy.
When the above-described artifact-reducing internal imaging catheter is applied in PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) surgery: an operator can penetrate a guide wire into the guide wire cavity 2 from the end surface of the guide wire 1 and penetrate out from the other port of the guide wire cavity 2, and the guide wire 1 enters a target blood vessel along the guide wire; then, normal saline is injected into the imaging cavity 3, the normal saline enters the balloon 5 through the side window and expands the balloon 5, then the internal imaging probe 4 in the imaging cavity 3 scans the blood vessel according to the control signal of the external control system while the balloon 5 is filled, and the balloon 5 can be contracted and then scanned.
Further, the inner imaging probe 4 can perform rotational movement along the length direction thereof inside the imaging cavity 3, the scanning range of the inner imaging probe 4 can be changed according to the following movement, and the movement limit position of the inner imaging probe 4 is the position of the two ends of the balloon 5.
The internal imaging probe 4 can be alternatively and not exclusively implemented by an OCT (optical interference tomography) probe or an ultrasonic transducer, and it should be noted that a liquid needs to be provided as a propagation medium when the ultrasonic transducer is used as the internal imaging device.
