- the dilator shaft 41 is inserted into a slit 32 a of a hemostasis valve 32 provided in the hemostasis connector 21.
- the outer peripheral surface of the dilator shaft 41 and the inner peripheral surface of the slit 32a are in close contact with each other. This prevents blood leakage through the dilator shaft 41 and the slit 32a.
- the connector 43 of the dilator 12 is connected to the proximal end side of the hemostatic connector 21. Specifically, the connector 43 is connected to the proximal end side of the hemostatic part 23.

- the projection 37 of the hemostatic part 23 (main body part 31) is the second passage part of the guide passage 56 of the first body 51. 56b. Thereby, the projection part 37 is engaged with the second passage part 56b. By this engagement, the first body 51 and thus the connector 43 are connected to the hemostatic connector 21.
- the first body 51 corresponds to the connection portion.
- the procedure for connecting the connector 43 to the proximal end side of the hemostatic connector 21 will be briefly described. First, the proximal end side of the hemostatic part 23 of the hemostatic connector 21 is inserted into the housing recess 53 of the connector 43. Next, the hemostatic part 23 is pushed to the proximal end side of the accommodating recess 53. At this time, the protrusion 37 passes through the first passage portion 56 a of the guide passage 56. Then, after the hemostatic part 23 is pushed to the proximal end side of the housing recess 53, the connector 43 is rotated around the axis with respect to the hemostatic connector 21. Then, the protruding portion 37 enters the second passage portion 56 b of the guide passage 56. Thereby, the projection part 37 will be in the state engaged with the 2nd channel
- the connector 43 of the dilator 12 is connected to the proximal end side of the hemostatic connector 21.
- the connector 43 is connected to the proximal end side of the guiding catheter 11 via the hemostatic connector 21.
- the dilator 12 is integrated with the guiding catheter 11, and the guiding catheter assembly 10 including the guiding catheter 11 and the dilator 12 is configured.
- the guiding catheter assembly 10 is provided with an adjustment function for adjusting the length of the protruding portion 71 of the dilator shaft 41 in the dilator 12.
- the adjustment function will be described with reference to FIG.
- FIG. 7 is a front view showing how the length of the protrusion 71 is adjusted.
- the connector 43 of the dilator 12 can be displaced in the axial direction with respect to the dilator shaft 41 in the released state (the state shown in FIG. 5B) in which the fixing to the dilator shaft 41 is released.
- the guiding catheter 11 connected to the connector 43 via the hemostatic connector 21
- the length of the protruding portion 71 protruding from the distal end of the guiding catheter 11 can be adjusted by the relative displacement between the guiding catheter 11 and the dilator shaft 41.
- the connector 43 is displaced to the proximal end side with respect to the dilator shaft 41, so that the length of the protruding portion 71 is increased.
- the connector 43 is displaced toward the tip side with respect to the dilator shaft 41, so that the length of the protruding portion 71 is shortened.
- the length of the protrusion 71 can be adjusted.
- the connector 43 is fixed to the dilator shaft 41 to be in a fixed state (the state shown in FIG. 5A).
- FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of work contents.
- the guiding catheter assembly 10 will be described using an example in which the guiding catheter assembly 10 is introduced to the treatment target site in the peripheral blood vessel of the leg.
- an example is used in which the guiding catheter assembly 10 is introduced into the blood vessel from the thigh of the leg opposite to the leg to be treated.
- a hole 75 for introduction leading from the body surface into the blood vessel 74 is formed in advance in the patient's thigh.
- a guide wire G is introduced into the blood vessel 74 through the hole 75 in advance. The distal end portion of the guide wire G reaches the treatment target site in the peripheral blood vessel.
- the guide wire G is inserted into the lumen 41a of the dilator shaft 41. With the guide wire G inserted through the dilator shaft 41, the guiding catheter assembly 10 is introduced into the blood vessel 74 through the hole 75. At this time, the length L1 of the protrusion 71 is shortened. The length L1 of the protrusion 71 is set to about 5 mm to 10 mm, for example.
- the guiding catheter assembly 10 is introduced into the blood vessel 74 while expanding the hole 75 by the protrusion 71. In this case, since the length of the protrusion 71 is short, the rigidity on the distal end side of the guiding catheter assembly 10 is high. Therefore, when the guiding catheter assembly 10 is introduced into the blood vessel 74, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of problems such as kinking of the distal end side. In this way, the guiding operation of the guiding catheter assembly 10 can be facilitated.
- the guiding catheter assembly 10 when the guiding catheter assembly 10 is introduced into the peripheral blood vessel, the guiding catheter assembly 10 may pass through the bent blood vessel 77.
- the length of the protrusion 71 is set to a length L2 longer than L1.
- the length L2 is, for example, about 5 mm to 200 mm. Since the protrusion 71 is long, the flexibility on the distal end side of the guiding catheter assembly 10 can be enhanced. Therefore, the followability to the bent blood vessel 77 can be improved. Therefore, it is possible to facilitate the operation of passing the bent blood vessel 77.
- the guiding catheter assembly 10 when the guiding catheter assembly 10 is introduced into the peripheral blood vessel, the guiding catheter assembly 10 may pass through the stenotic region 81.
- a lesioned part 79 is fixed to the inner wall of the blood vessel 78, and a stenotic region 81 is generated in the blood vessel 78 by the lesioned part 79.
- the length of the protrusion 71 is set to a length L3 shorter than L2.
- the length L3 is, for example, the same length as the length L1.
- the rigidity of the distal end side of the guiding catheter assembly 10 can be increased. Therefore, the pushing force when pushing the guiding catheter assembly 10 into the stenosis part 81 can be suitably transmitted to the tip of the protrusion 71. Therefore, it is possible to facilitate the operation of passing the stenosis region 81.
- the guiding catheter assembly 10 when the guiding catheter assembly 10 is introduced into the blood vessel 74 through the hole 75, when passing through the bent blood vessel 77, when passing through the stenosis site 81, etc.
- the length of the protrusion 71 can be adjusted according to the introduction situation. Therefore, the flexibility (or rigidity) on the distal end side of the guiding catheter assembly 10 can be adjusted according to each introduction situation. As a result, the operability when introducing the guiding catheter assembly 10 into a peripheral blood vessel can be enhanced.
- the connector 43 is removed from the hemostatic connector 21 and the dilator 12 is removed from the guiding catheter 11. Thereafter, a device such as a balloon catheter is introduced into the treatment target site in the peripheral blood vessel through the inside of the guiding catheter 11 to treat the site.
- the connector 43 In the released state (fixed released state) of the connector 43, the connector 43 can be displaced in the axial direction with respect to the dilator shaft 41. In this case, the length of the protrusion 71 can be adjusted by displacing the connector 43 in the axial direction. Therefore, as compared with the case where the connector 43 is provided with a displacement mechanism for displacing the connection portion connected to the hemostatic connector 21 in the axial direction, the configuration can be simplified.
- An internal passage 65 for inserting the dilator shaft 41 through the connector 43 is provided.
- the connector 43 can be displaced in the axial direction along the dilator shaft 41 inserted through the internal passage 65. In this case, since the user can guide the connector 43 along the dilator shaft 41, the user can easily perform an operation of adjusting the length of the protruding portion 71 by moving the connector 43.
- the internal passage 65 has a hole shape, the connector 43 is not detached from the dilator shaft 41 when the connector 43 is moved in the axial direction along the dilator shaft 41. Therefore, the operation of adjusting the length of the protruding portion 71 can be further facilitated.
