The present invention relates to medical devices, and in particular, but not exclusively to, catheters.
A wide range of medical procedures involve placing probes, such as catheters, within a patient's body. Location sensing systems have been developed for tracking such probes. Magnetic location sensing is one of the methods known in the art. In magnetic location sensing, magnetic field generators are typically placed at known locations external to the patient. A magnetic field sensor within the distal end of the probe generates electrical signals in response to these magnetic fields, which are processed to determine the coordinate locations of the distal end of the probe. These methods and systems are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,391,199, 6,690,963, 6,484,118, 6,239,724, 6,618,612 and 6,332,089, in PCT International Publication No. WO 1996/005768, and in U.S. Patent Application Publications Nos. 2002/006455 and 2003/0120150 and 2004/0068178. Locations may also be tracked using impedance or current based systems.
One medical procedure in which these types of probes or catheters have proved extremely useful is in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Cardiac arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation in particular, persist as common and dangerous medical ailments, especially in the aging population.
Diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias include mapping the electrical properties of heart tissue, especially the endocardium, and selectively ablating cardiac tissue by application of energy. Such ablation can cease or modify the propagation of unwanted electrical signals from one portion of the heart to another. The ablation process destroys the unwanted electrical pathways by formation of non-conducting lesions. Various energy delivery modalities have been disclosed for forming lesions, and include use of microwave, laser and more commonly, radiofrequency energies to create conduction blocks along the cardiac tissue wall. In a two-step procedure, mapping followed by ablation, electrical activity at points within the heart is typically sensed and measured by advancing a catheter containing one or more electrical sensors into the heart, and acquiring data at a multiplicity of points. These data are then utilized to select the endocardial target areas at which the ablation is to be performed.
Electrode catheters have been in common use in medical practice for many years. They are used to stimulate and map electrical activity in the heart and to ablate sites of aberrant electrical activity. In use, the electrode catheter is inserted into a major vein or artery, e.g., femoral vein, and then guided into the chamber of the heart of concern. A typical ablation procedure involves the insertion of a catheter having a one or more electrodes at its distal end into a heart chamber. A reference electrode may be provided, generally adhered to the skin of the patient or by means of a second catheter that is positioned in or near the heart. RF (radio frequency) current is applied between the catheter electrode(s) of the ablating catheter and an indifferent electrode (which may be one of the catheter electrodes), and current flows through the media between the electrodes, i.e., blood and tissue. The distribution of current may depend on the amount of electrode surface in contact with the tissue as compared to blood, which has a higher conductivity than the tissue. Heating of the tissue occurs due to its electrical resistance. The tissue is heated sufficiently to cause cellular destruction in the cardiac tissue resulting in formation of a lesion within the cardiac tissue which is electrically non-conductive. In some applications, irreversible electroporation may be performed to ablate the tissue.
US Patent Publication 2019/0117301 of Steinke, et al., describes a catheter and catheter system for treatment of a blood vessel of a patient including an elongate flexible catheter body with a radially expandable structure. A plurality of electrodes or other electrosurgical energy delivery surfaces can radially engage material to be treated when the structure expands. A material detector near the distal end of the catheter body may measure circumferential material distribution, and a power source selectively energizes the electrodes to eccentrically treat of a body lumen.

No. 9,757,180 to Gelfand, et al., describes systems, devices, and methods for treating a patient having a sympathetically mediated disease associated at least in part with augmented peripheral chemoreflex or heightened sympathetic activation.

The present invention will be understood from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the drawings in which:
Irrigation is commonly used with catheters to provide cooling during medical procedures such as radio-frequency (RF) ablation, for example. One solution for providing irrigation in a basket-type catheter is to have an irrigation channel run through the catheter which terminates in the middle of the basket. Irrigation fluid may then be pumped through the irrigation channel to the distal end of the irrigation channel where the irrigation fluid exits and provides cooling to tissue in the region of the basket as well as diluting blood locally. However, the irrigation is not very well directed and although it may be sufficient for electroporation, which does not generate much heat, it is generally not sufficient to reduce heat created during RF ablation. Another problem encountered with basket catheters is that the basket needs to be in a collapsed or semi-collapsed form during insertion into the body and then deployed to its expanded form in a body cavity. The requirement to be able to collapse and expand the basket adds further complications to providing effective irrigation as an irrigation channel may interfere with the expansion and collapsing of the basket. An additional problem encountered with basket catheters (whether used for ablation or diagnosis) is that during use, it has been found that blood clots may be created within the basket and stagnate there.
Embodiments of the present invention, solve the above problems by providing a catheter with an expandable basket assembly including electrodes thereon, with an inflatable balloon installed in the expandable basket assembly. When deployed, the balloon is inflated in the expanded basket assembly and acts to displace blood from the interior of the basket assembly to prevent blood clots being created within the basket assembly. Additionally, the balloon may include irrigation holes through which irrigation fluid is pumped to cool the electrodes in use. The balloon enables strategically placing the irrigation holes with respect to the electrodes to enhance cooling during use.
In some embodiments, the fully inflated balloon touches the interior surface of the expanded basket assembly. When there is no, or little, gap between the fully inflated balloon and the interior surface of the expanded basket assembly, blood is prevented from entering the interior of the basket assembly thereby preventing blood clots. In other embodiments, there is a gap between the fully inflated balloon and the interior surface of the expanded balloon. When there is a gap, the electrodes may be irrigated more efficiently (depending on the irrigation and electrode configuration), and the inner surface of the basket may include electrodes thereby increasing the electrode surface area that can be used for ablation.
In some embodiments, the catheter includes an elongated deflectable element, and an expandable basket assembly disposed at the distal end of the deflectable element. The basket assembly includes splines and electrodes placed on the splines. The catheter includes an inflatable balloon disposed in the expandable basket assembly with the splines being disposed circumferentially around the inflatable balloon.
In some embodiments, at least some of the splines include Nitinol. In some embodiments, the electrodes of the respective splines include Nitinol. For example, Nitinol splines are selectively covered with an insulating cover to leave electrodes exposed, or the Nitinol splines are covered and windows are opened in the covers to reveal electrodes. In other embodiments, the splines include respective polymer flex circuits. The flex circuits may be supported using Nitinol supports running along at least a given length of each spline.
In some embodiments, the catheter includes an irrigation channel disposed in the elongated deflectable element, and the inflatable balloon includes irrigation holes in fluid connection with the irrigation channel. In some embodiments, the electrodes are disposed in a region of the expandable basket assembly, and the irrigation holes of the inflatable balloon (when the balloon is fully inflated) are disposed more proximally or more distally to the electrode region (when the basket is fully expanded).
In some embodiments, the catheter includes an irrigation channel disposed in the elongated deflectable element, and the inflatable balloon includes irrigation holes in fluid connection with the irrigation channel. In some embodiments, at least ninety percent of the electrodes are disposed in a region of the expandable basket assembly, and at least ninety percent of the irrigation holes of the inflatable balloon (when the balloon is fully inflated) are disposed more proximally or more distally to the electrode region (when the basket is fully expanded).
In other embodiments, the inflatable balloon does not include irrigation holes. In those embodiments, irrigation may optionally be performed using other methods.
In some embodiments, the inflatable balloon is configured to fully inflate so that there is a gap of at least one millimeter between the fully inflated balloon and at least part (e.g., at least thirty percent) of an inner surface area of the splines (of the fully expanded basket assembly) facing the inflatable balloon. The balloon may optionally include irrigation holes. In some embodiments, a support element is connected to the distal end of the inflatable balloon and the distal end of the expandable basket assembly and maintains the gap between the fully inflated balloon and the splines of the fully expanded basket assembly. In some embodiments, when a gap is maintained, electrodes may be disposed on the inner and outer surface of each spline thereby increasing the electrode surface area for use in ablation. The electrode on the inner surface may be integral with, or connected to an electrode on the outer surface. In some embodiments, the fully inflated balloon touches the splines.
The system may include an ablation power generator connected to the catheter, and applies an electrical signal to the electrode(s) to ablate tissue of the body part. In some embodiments, the ablation power generator applies an electrical signal between the electrodes to perform irreversible electroporation of tissue of the body part.
