Description
本発明は、血管に堆積付着した血栓を除去する血栓除去用カテーテルに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a thrombus removing catheter for removing a thrombus deposited and adhered to a blood vessel.
血管の特定部位に堆積付着する血栓は、卒中や動脈硬化等の原因となるため、早急に除去するのが望ましく、一般にはこの血栓は以下に示すような方法で除去される。 A thrombus that deposits and adheres to a specific part of a blood vessel causes stroke, arteriosclerosis, etc., and therefore it is desirable to remove it immediately. Generally, this thrombus is removed by the following method.
（１） 血栓を溶解したり、血栓の成長を阻止する血栓溶解剤を投与する方法。 (1) A method of administering a thrombolytic agent that dissolves thrombus or inhibits thrombus growth.
この（１）の方法は、患者に負担をかける外科的な方法によらず、しかも、多くの場合血栓を分解若しくは溶解させることが可能である。しかし、現在用いられている多くの血栓溶解剤には副作用があり、また、血栓を完全に除去するのに時間がかかる、即ち、即効性に欠けるという問題があり、比較的余裕のある軽症の患者に用いることができるが、緊急に血管の流れを回復させる必要がある重症患者に用いることはできない。 The method (1) is not based on a surgical method that places a burden on the patient, and in many cases, the thrombus can be decomposed or dissolved. However, many currently used thrombolytic agents have side effects, and it takes time to completely remove the thrombus, that is, there is a problem of lack of immediate effect. It can be used for patients, but it cannot be used for critically ill patients who need to restore vascular flow urgently.
（２） 血管を切開し、この切開部位から血管にカテーテルを挿入し、患部でバルーンを膨張させ、血栓を捕獲し、この捕獲した血栓を前記切開部位から摘出することでこの血栓を除去する方法。 (2) A method of removing a blood vessel by incising a blood vessel, inserting a catheter into the blood vessel from the incision site, inflating a balloon at the affected area, capturing the thrombus, and removing the captured thrombus from the incision site .
この（２）の方法は、外科的にアクセス可能な部位においては有効であるが、特に治療が必要となる脳領域にはアクセスできないため、この脳領域の血管に形成された血栓を除去することはできない。 This method (2) is effective at a surgically accessible site, but cannot access a brain region that requires treatment in particular, and therefore removes a thrombus formed in a blood vessel of this brain region. I can't.
（３） 血栓除去用カテーテル、例えば、先端部に血栓を崩壊させる超音波プローブやレーザ若しくは切削体を有する血栓除去用カテーテル（特開平４−１８３４６１号公報（特許文献１）参照）を、血管に挿入して血栓が存する位置まで進め、前記超音波プローブ等の血栓除去手段により血栓を除去する方法。 (3) A thrombus removal catheter, for example, a thrombus removal catheter (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-183461 (Patent Document 1)) having an ultrasonic probe or a laser or a cutting body that disintegrates the thrombus at the distal end portion A method of inserting and advancing to a position where a thrombus exists and removing the thrombus by a thrombus removing means such as the ultrasonic probe.
この（３）の方法は、人体に過度の負担を強いずに血栓を除去することが可能な方法であるが、血栓を除去する際にエネルギーを必要とし、特に直接血栓にレーザや超音波を照射する場合には、血管表面を傷つけることは避けられないし、血栓を切削する場合には、血管表面と血栓との癒着部に引き剥がすような力が加わったり、切削体が血管に接触することで、この血管を傷つけてしまうおそれがあるため、脳領域の小血管を傷つけることなく除去することは困難である。 This method (3) is a method that can remove the thrombus without imposing an excessive burden on the human body, but it requires energy when removing the thrombus, and in particular, a laser or ultrasonic wave is directly applied to the thrombus. When irradiating, it is unavoidable to damage the blood vessel surface. When cutting a thrombus, a force that peels off the adhesion between the blood vessel surface and the thrombus is applied, or the cutting body contacts the blood vessel. Since this blood vessel may be damaged, it is difficult to remove the blood vessel without damaging the small blood vessel in the brain region.
本発明は、上述のような現状に鑑み、血管を傷つけることなく血栓を迅速に除去できる極めて実用性に秀れた血栓除去用カテーテルを提供することを課題としている。 An object of the present invention is to provide a thrombus-removing catheter excellent in practicality that can quickly remove a thrombus without damaging a blood vessel in view of the above-described present situation.

It is comprised so that the thrombus 2 may be removed by making the catheter main body 3 vibrating by this vibration part 4 contact | abut to the thrombus 2.
カテーテル本体３は柔軟性を有する部材で形成された既存のものが採用されている。このカテーテル本体３は、その先端が組織を傷つけたり、引っ掛かったりしないように丸みを帯びた形状に設定されている。 The existing catheter body 3 formed of a flexible member is used. The catheter body 3 is set in a rounded shape so that the tip thereof does not damage or get caught in the tissue.
カテーテル本体３の内側には、シリコンゴム等から成るＯリングを支持部材７として中空のワイヤ８が支持されている。このワイヤ８としてはステンレス等の耐食性を有する材料から成るものを採用するのが望ましい。 A hollow wire 8 is supported inside the catheter body 3 by using an O-ring made of silicon rubber or the like as a support member 7. The wire 8 is preferably made of a material having corrosion resistance such as stainless steel.
この中空のワイヤ８を通じてカテーテル本体３の外部に露出しないように、カテーテル本体３の内部にワイヤ状の振動部４が配設される。従って、この振動部４が血管１に直接接触して該血管１を傷つけることは確実に阻止される。 A wire-like vibrating portion 4 is disposed inside the catheter body 3 so as not to be exposed to the outside of the catheter body 3 through the hollow wire 8. Therefore, it is reliably prevented that the vibrating part 4 directly contacts the blood vessel 1 and damages the blood vessel 1.
また、この振動部４の基端側一端部には、該振動部４を駆動する駆動部９が設けられる。 A driving unit 9 that drives the vibrating unit 4 is provided at one end of the vibrating unit 4 on the proximal end side.

血栓２の近傍までカテーテル本体３を挿入したら、駆動部９により振動部４を駆動し、カテーテル本体３を振動させる（若しくは、血栓２が存する部位までカテーテル本体３を挿入した後、駆動部により振動部４を駆動し、カテーテル本体３を振動させる。）。 When the catheter body 3 is inserted to the vicinity of the thrombus 2, the drive unit 9 drives the vibration unit 4 to vibrate the catheter body 3 (or after the catheter body 3 is inserted to the site where the thrombus 2 exists, the drive unit vibrates. The portion 4 is driven to vibrate the catheter body 3).
次に、振動するカテーテル本体３を血栓２に当接させる。この際、切削体等により切削するように血栓２内部までこの押し込む必要はなく、カテーテル本体３を血栓２の表面に軽く当接させるだけで、表面から内部に振動が伝達され、この振動により血栓２の表面組織は良好に崩壊されていく。 Next, the vibrating catheter body 3 is brought into contact with the thrombus 2. At this time, it is not necessary to push the inside of the thrombus 2 so as to cut it with a cutting body or the like, and vibration is transmitted from the surface to the inside simply by bringing the catheter body 3 lightly into contact with the surface of the thrombus 2. The surface texture of 2 is well collapsed.
この血栓２の崩壊に伴いカテーテル本体３を前後に微動させながらこの血栓２全体を除去する。 As the thrombus 2 collapses, the entire thrombus 2 is removed while the catheter body 3 is slightly moved back and forth .

That is, the catheter body 3 is brought into contact with the surface of the thrombus 2 and the thrombus 2 is gradually collapsed from the surface portion by this vibration and removed.
特に、血栓２への振動は表面から内部へ伝わり、血栓２の表面からの崩壊が良好に行われる。よって、血栓２を除去する際に血管１と血栓２との癒着部に力が加わらず、従って、血管１への負担がなく、血管１の損傷を確実に阻止できる。 In particular, the vibration to the thrombus 2 is transmitted from the surface to the inside, and the collapse of the thrombus 2 from the surface is favorably performed. Therefore, when removing the thrombus 2, no force is applied to the adhesion portion between the blood vessel 1 and the thrombus 2, and therefore there is no burden on the blood vessel 1 and damage to the blood vessel 1 can be reliably prevented.
また、カテーテル本体３は、柔軟性を有する部材で構成され、その先端が組織を傷つけたり、引っ掛かったりしないように丸みを帯びた形状であるから、この先端部が血管１を傷つけたりすることが確実に防止される。 Further, the catheter body 3 is made of a flexible member, and its distal end has a rounded shape so as not to damage or catch the tissue, so that the distal end may damage the blood vessel 1. It is surely prevented.
更に、振動部４は、カテーテル本体３の外部に露出しないように設けられているから、この振動部４が直接血管１と接触することがなく、この点からも血管が傷つくことが確実に防止される。 Furthermore, since the vibration part 4 is provided so as not to be exposed to the outside of the catheter body 3, the vibration part 4 is not in direct contact with the blood vessel 1, and also from this point, the blood vessel is surely prevented from being damaged. Is done.
加えて、振動部４はカテーテル本体３の先端部を振動させるように構成されているから、不要な部分が振動せず、カテーテル本体３の移動が容易となるだけでなく、効率良くカテーテル本体３を振動させることができる。 In addition, since the vibration unit 4 is configured to vibrate the distal end portion of the catheter body 3, unnecessary portions do not vibrate, and not only the catheter body 3 can be easily moved but also the catheter body 3 can be efficiently used. Can be vibrated.
よって、本実施例は、血栓にカテーテル本体を単に当接するだけで血管を傷つけることなく血栓を迅速に除去できる極めて実用性に秀れた血栓除去用カテーテルとなる。 Therefore, the present embodiment provides a thrombus removal catheter with excellent practicality that can quickly remove a thrombus without damaging a blood vessel by simply contacting the catheter body with the thrombus.
