- the ablation energy in this disclosure may include, but is not limited to: radio frequency energy, ultrasound energy, microwave energy, etc.
- the ablation area range of the ablation needle 13 has a clear relationship with the output power and output time of radio frequency energy. In a stable state, the range of the ablation area is proportional to the output power and output time of radio frequency energy. In theory, , through higher output power and longer output time, the size of the ablation area can be increased. That is to say, when the length of the ablation segment 134 is determined, the size of the ablation area can be roughly determined by setting the output power and output time.
- the tissue in contact with the ablation segment 134 will be burned and scabbed, and the burned and scabbed tissue will adhere to the surface of the ablation segment 134, forming a
- the electrically insulating condensation accompanied by a sudden increase in electrical impedance, prevents further current flow into the tissue and further heating, thereby greatly reducing the extent of the ablation zone and resulting in poor ablation results. Therefore, in order to prevent this phenomenon, improve the ablation efficiency, and expand the ablation area, the temperature of the contact surface between the ablation section 134 and the tissue can be reduced to reduce the risk of tissue scabbing.
- the electrolyte solution 33 can be a mixed solution of cold physiological saline + developer. Through X-ray imaging, the operator can visually observe the diffusion of the electrolyte solution 33 mixed with the developer in the myocardial tissue. , thereby regulating the ablation time and perfusion flow rate and flow rate in real time, so as to achieve the purpose of accurately controlling the size of the ablation area.
- the electrolyte solution 33 may be used including, but not limited to, room temperature. 0.9% NaCl solution, 0.9% NaCl solution at 5°C, 5% glucose solution, mixed solution of heparinized 0.9% NaCl solution, 0.9% NaCl solution and contrast agent. At the same time, it should be considered to better reduce the risk of radiofrequency discharge. For the temperature at the contact interface between the ablation section 134 and the myocardial tissue, a 0.9% NaCl solution of about 5°C can be used to reduce the temperature more effectively.
- the electrolyte solution 33 perfused through the perfusion hole 132a can cool the ablation segment 134 to a certain extent, reduce the temperature between the ablation segment 134 and the tissue contact interface, and avoid excessive temperature rise of the myocardial tissue around the ablation segment 134.
- the risk of tissue burning, scabbing, and carbonization will occur quickly, resulting in a relatively gentle temperature rise of the myocardial tissue around the ablation segment 134; on the other hand, since the electrolyte solution 33 will diffuse after being perfused into the myocardial tissue, the diffused electrolyte
- the solution 33 will serve as a good transmission medium for radio frequency current, transmitting the radio frequency current to farther parts of the myocardial tissue. Through this principle, the purpose of increasing the ablation area can also be achieved.
- the axial direction of the needle body 132 is the X direction
- the radial direction of the needle body 132 is the Y direction
- the axial direction (X direction) and the radial direction (Y direction) of the needle body are The plane is defined as the standard plane.
- the Z direction is perpendicular to the standard plane.
- the present disclosure also provides a myocardial ablation system, including an energy generating device, a pump, and the above-mentioned myocardial ablation device.
- the energy generating device is electrically connected to the ablation needle and configured to deliver ablation energy to the ablation electrode.
- a pump is in fluid communication with the ablation needle and is configured to deliver irrigation fluid to the irrigation hole.
- the energy generating device is electrically connected to the pump. After the pump sets the perfusion parameters, the pump delivers the perfusion parameters to the energy generating device.
- the energy generating device generates reference ablation parameters based on comparison between the perfusion parameters and the reference data.
- the total amount of perfusion liquid from the pump 32 will be equal to the total amount of perfusion liquid flowing through all the perfusion holes 132a on the ablation needle 13, so the ablation
- the perfusion area of the needle 13 is determined by the distribution length of the perfusion holes 132a axially provided on the ablation needle 13 and the perfusion flow rate v.
- the axial distribution length of the perfusion holes 132a is the two furthest distances in the axial direction. The distance between the far irrigation holes 132a.
- the perfusion flow rate ranges from 0.1 to 5.0 mL/min, and the length of the portion of the ablation needle 13 with the perfusion hole ranges from 5 to 20 mm.
- the shape perfused through the ablation needle 13 can be approximated as an ellipsoid. According to the volume calculation formula of the ellipsoid:
- V is the volume of the ellipsoid
- a, b, and c are respectively 1/2 of the length of the three axes of the ellipsoid (that is, a, b, and c correspond to the Y direction, Z direction, and X direction respectively).
- v is the perfusion flow rate, and the value range is 0.1mL/min to 5.0mL/min;
- t is the ablation duration, ranging from 1min to 10min;
- c' is the major axis radius of the perfusion area
- c is the major axis radius of the ablation range (half the length of the ablation segment)
- c' is 1 to 1.5 times of c
- the value range of 2c is 5 to 20mm
- the value range of 2c' is 5 to 30mm. From formula 2, we can know that the volume V of the perfusion area is positively related to the perfusion flow rate v and perfusion duration (ablation time) t. From formula 3, we can know that the short-axis diameter 2a' is inversely proportional to the long-axis radius c', so the volume V is the minimum value.
- the corresponding short axis diameter 2a' is the minimum value; when the volume V is the maximum value and the long axis radius c' is the minimum value, the corresponding short axis diameter 2a' is at this time. is the maximum value.
- the minimum value of 2a’ can be calculated, that is, the short-axis diameter 2a’ value of the minimum perfusion area is 2.52mm.
- the maximum value of 2a’ can be calculated, that is, the short-axis diameter 2a’ value of the maximum perfusion area is: 138.2mm.
- the short axis diameter 2a' of the perfusion area ranges from 2.52mm to 138.2mm. It should be noted that since the short axis diameter 2a' and the long axis diameter 2c' of the perfusion area have different values in different situations, it can be seen from the above value range that 2a' may be larger than 2c', here for the convenience of understanding , define the axis of the perfusion area in the Y direction as the short axis, and the axis in the X direction as the long axis.
- Perfusion is the enhancement of the ablation area. This enhancement specifically refers to the enhancement on the short axis, because for the long axis, the perfusion holes 132a are evenly distributed on the ablation section 134 along the axial direction, and the length of the ablation section 134 is the long axis diameter of the ablation range. while the perfusion direction is in the radial direction, and Non-axial.
- the ablation area should be surrounded by the perfusion area (as shown in Figures 4 to 5).
- the projected area of the ablation area on the standard surface is S1
- the projected area of the perfusion area on the standard surface is S2.
- S2 should be greater than or Equal to S1, generally speaking, 0.3 ⁇ S1/S2 ⁇ 1.
- the figure shows the myocardial tissue temperature rise curve under different S1/S2 ratios.
- the abscissa in the figure is the ablation time (t/s), and the ordinate is the temperature of the ablated tissue (T/°C).
- the process of heating the tissue temperature from body temperature T0 to a predetermined temperature T1 is a temperature rise process. After the tissue temperature undergoes the temperature rise process, it needs to be maintained for a period of time before the ablation can be completed. That is to say, the ablation process includes the temperature rise process and the maintenance process.
- the time required for the ablation process is the ablation time t
- the time required for the temperature rise process is the temperature rise time ta
- the ablation time t is generally a preset value.
- the temperature rise time ta and the maintenance time tb are inversely proportional, that is, the larger ta, the smaller tb, and the smaller ta, the larger tb.
- the temperature rise time t1 is small, so there is a greater probability of tissue carbonization; when the S1/S2 ratio is 0.3, the temperature rise time t6 is large, so it is less likely to occur.
- the tissue is carbonized, but due to the longer temperature rise time t6, the maintenance time tb is shorter, so the ablation efficiency is lower.
- the S1/S2 ratio is 0.7 and 0.6, the corresponding temperature rise times are t3 and t4. At this time, tissue carbonization is not easy to occur, and the ablation efficiency is also relatively good, so it can achieve both efficiency and avoid tissue temperature rise. Carbonization occurs too quickly.
- the area S1 is related to the ablation energy, and the ablation energy range is between 1 and 100W.
- the operator can view the ablation area under the imaging system.
- the ablation area can be increased by increasing the ablation energy, and the ablation area can be reduced by decreasing the ablation energy. area.
- the operator can compare the reference data and select corresponding ablation parameters such as output power and output time, which can also adjust the size of the area S1. In some embodiments, you can refer to the data in Tables 1 to 4.
- S2 when determining 2c to be 5mm, 2c' to be 7.5mm, t to be 3min, and v to be 0.5mL/min, S2 can be obtained according to the above formula. is 230.19mm 2 , then when the output power (i.e., ablation power) is 4W, S1 is 119.15mm 2 , so S1/S2 is equal to 51.76%. At this time, the ablation efficiency is medium, but the probability of tissue carbonization is low, and the ablation effect is good.

- the energy is released to destroy the cell activity of the hypertrophic myocardial tissue, causing the hypertrophic myocardial tissue of the interventricular septum to become thinner and reduce the contractility, thereby reducing the phenomenon of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction; at the same time, under the perfusion of the electrolyte solution 33 in the perfusion hole 132a, the solution passes through the electrolyte solution 33 in the perfusion hole 132a. Diffusion within the myocardial tissue brings the radiofrequency energy to the myocardial tissue farther away from the ablation section 134, thereby achieving the purpose of expanding the ablation range.
