    [0001] The present invention relates to a device for placing, in the His bundle, a pacemaker lead tip having passed through the coronary sinus. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device for placing, in the His bundle, a pacemaker lead tip having passed through the coronary sinus, the device being proposed as part of a more effective method of delivering electrical stimulation in treatments using a pacemaker for patients with cardiac arrhythmia. Background Art
    [0002] Since the first artificial pacemaker was introduced by Furman and Robinson in 1958, a pacemaker has been used as a primary treatment method for patients with bradyarrhythmia. Recently, the pacemaker has been used as a major treatment for arrhythmia diseases such as complete atrioventricular block, high degree atrioventricular block, and sick sinus syndrome. Pacemaker treatment is a method of artificially generating electrical stimulation by the pacemaker because the electrical stimulation of the heart is abnormally conducted.
    [0003] FIG. 1 is a diagram of a cardiac conduction system. Referring to FIG. 1, the cardiac conduction system consists of components conducting signals, starting with the sinoatrial node in the atrium, followed by the atrioventricular node in the atrium and the right bundle and left bundle being branched in the His bundle of the ventricles, and ending with the Purkinje fibers.
    [0004] In an electrocardiogram, QRS wave is formed by the depolarization process of ventricular muscle, wherein the first down wave following P wave is called Q wave, the first up wave is called R wave, and the down wave following R wave is called S wave. The width of the QRS means the time for conduction of electricity from the His bundle to the entire ventricle. In the normal state, the width of the QRS wave is about 0.12 seconds or less (around 90 ms). In the case of having 0.12 seconds (120 ms) or more, the width of the QRS wave suggests a ventricular conduction disorder. The longer the conduction time, the wider the QRS width. Also, the shorter the conduction time, the narrower the QRS width. A wide QRS represents ventricular desynchronization in which ventricular movements are not unified, causing a side effect resulting in loss of ventricular function.
    [0005] Therefore, there is a need for research on a safe and easy method as well as an effective method in which the conduction time is shortened and a narrow QRS may be obtained by applying electrical stimulation at a position nearby the conduction system located in the ventricular septum.
    [0006] In an effort to accomplish this end, the present inventor has proposed and filed patents for a method and a device for placing a pacemaker lead inside the ventricular septum in Korean Patent Application Publication Nos. 10-2016-0020887 and 10-2016-0011530 . Disclosure Technical Problem

    [0014] A radiopaque mark may be provided at a position on a surface of the electrocardiogram sensor to be visually identifiable by an imaging device.
    [0015] The pacemaker lead tip may have a pointed shape to easily penetrate the ventricular septum.
    [0016] In order to deliver an effective electrical stimulation, the capture catheter may be provided with an electrocardiogram sensor installed therein used to place the pacemaker lead end, which has passed through the coronary sinus, in the His bundle in the ventricular septum where the cardiac conduction system is located, wherein a capture catheter includes an electrocardiogram sensor attached to a side thereof to detect a change in the electrocardiogram to verify a position of the His bundle in the ventricular septum.

    [0030] Hereinafter, the preferred exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
    [0031] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a capture catheter according to a preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2a is a perspective view in the case when the capture catheter is folded, FIG 2b is a perspective view in the case when the capture catheter is unfolded, and FIG. 2c is a perspective view in the case when the capture catheter, coupled to a plurality of electrocardiogram sensors, is unfolded.
    [0032] Referring to FIG. 2, the capture catheter 60 according to the preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a central catheter 62, an external catheter 64, a mesh net 66, and an electrocardiogram sensor 68.
    [0033] The central catheter 62 has a lumen formed therein into which a guidewire 40 is inserted, and the external catheter 64 has the central catheter 62 inserted thereinto, and is movable upward and downward by the force applied from outside of the patient's body.
    [0034] The upper part of the mesh net 66 is fixed to the central catheter 62 in a folded state, and the lower part of the mesh net 66 is fixed to the external catheter 64 in a folded state. When the external catheter 64 is pushed upward, the mesh net 66 is unfolded, and when the external catheter 64 is pulled downward, the mesh net 66 is folded.
    [0035] One or more binders 67 are provided to bind the mesh net 66 and the central catheter 62, wherein the binders 67 move upward and downward along the central catheter 62 as the mesh net 62 is unfolded and folded so that the mesh net 62 has a D shape when being unfolded.
    [0036] The electrocardiogram sensor 68 is coupled to the mesh net 62 and, more particularly, to a part of the mesh net that protrudes convexly in a D shape when the mesh net 62 is unfolded, and is moved to the ventricular septum to detect the electrocardiogram. The electrocardiogram sensor 68 may be provided with one electrocardiogram sensor, as shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, or a plurality of electrocardiogram sensors may be coupled to the mesh net, as shown in FIG. 2c. Since the electric wires coupled to the lower part of the electrocardiogram sensor 68 may be coupled to the mesh net 62, unlike those shown in FIG. 2, it is apparent that the electric wires may not be installed inside the mesh net 62. When being coupled, the plurality of electrocardiogram sensors 68 is preferably coupled to each different position on the mesh net. In addition, a radiopaque mark 69 is provided at a position on the upper part of the electrocardiogram sensor 68 so that the position of the electrocardiogram sensor 68 may be visually verified by an imaging device.
    [0037] Including the capture catheter 60, the device for placing, in the His bundle, the pacemaker lead tip having passed through the coronary sinus, and a method of using the same will be described below.
    [0038] FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a method for placing a lead tip of the pacemaker having passed through the coronary sinus in the His bundle according to the preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
    [0039] Referring to FIG. 3, first, the step S10 of inserting a surgical wire into the coronary sinus is a step for moving the surgical wire 10 to the superior vena cava, the coronary sinus, and the septal vein in sequence.
    [0040] The device for placing, in the His bundle, the pacemaker lead tip having passed through the coronary sinus of the present invention includes the surgical wire 10 and the balloon catheter 20. The surgical wire 10 is inserted through the superior vena cava, the coronary sinus, and the septal vein in sequence and passed through the His bundle, and then guided into the inferior vena cava before both sides of the surgical wire are fixed by the operator, so that the surgical wire plays a role of supporting the pacemaker lead 70 to be inserted into the His bundle by inserting through the coronary sinus. Since the current step S10 is a step before detecting the position of the His bundle, the surgical wire 10 is moved to a position at the septal vein and awaits a next move.
    [0041] FIG. 5 is a photograph showing a pressurized septal venogram when the coronary sinus is blocked by using the balloon catheter according to the preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The balloon catheter 20 is to facilitate the surgical wire 10 to move to the septal vein. The balloon catheter 20 has a lumen provided therein through which the surgical wire 10 passes as shown in FIG. 4. In general, the septal vein is difficult to identify by the operator, so the balloon catheter 20 is inserted into the coronary sinus, and then the air is injected from the outside to make the balloon to be inflated, thereby blocking the flow of blood in the coronary sinus to cause the coronary sinus to be swollen. Afterward, the pressurized venogram is examined to identify the septal vein positioned in the ventricular septum.
    [0042] The next step S20 is to identify the position of the His bundle by using the capture catheter. The capture catheter 60 is as described in FIG. 2 and coupled to one or a plurality of electrocardiogram sensors 68. The capture catheter 60 moves to the right ventricle through the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the tricuspid valve, and includes a safe zone passing catheter 50 for the capture catheter 60 to move safely.
    [0043] FIG. 6 is a photograph showing a safe zone passing catheter 50 according to the preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the safe zone passing catheter 50 has a locking means 52 provided at the upper end thereof, and a lumen provided therein through which the guidewire 40 is inserted. A movement from the inferior vena cava to the tricuspid valve may damage the structures in the heart. By passing through the safe zone other than the unsafe zone where the leaflets of the tricuspid valve, the subvalvular structures such as the chordae tendineae and the papillary muscles, and the modulator band are included, the structures in the heart should be avoided from damaging. The locking means 52 may have a pigtail shape or a balloon-like shape as shown in FIG. 6. The locking means 52 prevents the safe zone passing catheter from moving forward by being blocked by the structure in the heart when passing through the unsafe zone, whereas allowing the safe zone passing catheter to pass freely to the safe zone. Therefore, the locking means may enable the safe zone passing catheter to pass through the safe zone only. After the safe zone passing catheter 50 is moved to the inferior vena cava, the tricuspid valve, and the right ventricle in sequence, the guidewire 40 is inserted into the lumen inside the safe zone passing catheter. When the guidewire 40 is inserted up to the pulmonary artery, the safe zone passing catheter 50 is removed out of the patient's body. The capture catheter 60 is inserted into the patient's body along the guidewire 40 already inserted, and at this time, the capture catheter 60 is inserted while being kept folded. When the capture catheter 60 is positioned in the right ventricle, the external catheter 64 is pushed to unfold the mesh net 66 in the D shape, and the position of the His bundle is detected by the electrocardiogram sensor 68.
    [0044] FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a detection of the His bundle with the capture catheter according to the preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7a shows a case where one electrocardiogram sensor is provided, and FIG. 7b shows a case where a plurality of electrocardiogram sensors is provided. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an electrocardiogram waveform when the electrocardiogram sensor is in touch with a part of the His bundle.
    [0045] Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, when the electrocardiogram sensor 68 detects the position of the His bundle, an electrocardiogram waveform detected only in the His bundle is generated. The position of the His bundle may be verified by the radiopaque mark 69 provided at an upper part of the electrocardiogram sensor 68. In the case where the plurality of electrocardiogram sensors 68 is provided as shown in FIG. 7b, the position of the His bundle may be identified by giving a number to each of the electrocardiogram sensors 68, and then by verifying the position of the electrocardiogram sensor 68 having the number indicating the detection of the His bundle.
    [0046] The next step is a step S30 in which the surgical wire is positioned in the right ventricle after having passed through the His bundle. The surgical wire 10 is positioned in the right ventricle after having passed through the His bundle identified in the previous step S20. The surgical wire 10 has a pointed end, passes through the His bundle, and is positioned in the right ventricle. However, in the case where penetrating the His bundle with only the surgical wire 10 is difficult, a perforating catheter 30 is required.
    [0047] FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a perforating catheter according to the preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9a shows a case where the lengths of the first tube and the second tube are the same, and FIG. 9b shows a case where the lengths of the first tube and the second tube are different from each other. Referring to FIG. 9, the perforating catheter 30 having two lumens therein includes: a first tube 32 into which the supporting wire 36 is inserted; a second tube 34 into which the surgical wire 10 is inserted, wherein the second tube 34 includes a second tube radiopaque mark 38, and an inclined guide part 35 is provided at the end of the second tube 34. The first tube 32 and the second tube 34 may be made by two tubes in close contact with each other, or may be made by dividing into two spaces by membranes provided inside of a single tube, and the lengths of the two tubes may be the same or may be different from each other.
    [0048] After the perforating catheter 30 is inserted into the coronary sinus, the supporting wire 36 is inserted into the first tube 32 to play a supportive role when the surgical wire 10 performs the perforation. The surgical wire 10 is inserted into the second tube 34 to perforate the His bundle, and then the surgical wire 10 is positioned in the right ventricle.
    [0049] Next, a step S40 is performed so that the capture catheter captures the surgical wire, and then guides the surgical wire into the inferior vena cava.
    [0050] FIG. 10 is a perspective cross-sectional view showing an insertion of a surgical wire, having passed through the His bundle, into a mesh net of the unfolded capture catheter according to the preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a perspective cross-sectional view showing the capture catheter capturing the surgical wire having passed through the His bundle and guiding the surgical wire to the inferior vena cava, according to the preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
    [0051] Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the surgical wire 10 is positioned in the right ventricle after having passed through the His bundle, and the capture catheter 60, having the mesh net 66 unfolded in order to detect the His bundle, is positioned in the right ventricle nearby the His bundle. The surgical wire 10, having passed through the His bundle, passes through the mesh net 66. When the external catheter 64 is pulled downward from the outside, the mesh net 66 is folded, and the surgical wire 10 is captured by the capture catheter 60 and moved together with the capture catheter 60. The capture catheter 60 with the surgical wire 10 captured therein may be guided into the tricuspid valve and the inferior vena cava in sequence, and may be taken out of the patient's body. Accordingly, one end of the surgical wire 10 is positioned outside the upper part of the patient's body, and the other end thereof, taken out to the outside of the patient's body through the superior vena cava, the coronary sinus, the septal vein, the His bundle, the right ventricle, the tricuspid valve, and inferior vena cava in sequence, is positioned at the outside of the lower part of the patient's body.
    [0052] Finally, a step S50 is performed so that the pacemaker lead is inserted along the surgical wire to place the pacemaker lead tip at a position in the His bundle. The pacemaker lead 70 has a lumen formed therein so that the surgical wire 10 may be inserted therein, and the tip of the pacemaker lead 70 may have a pointed shape to easily penetrate the ventricular septum. While the operator grasps and fixes both ends of the surgical wire 10 from outside, the pacemaker lead 70 is inserted along the surgical wire 10 through the superior vena cava, the coronary sinus, and the septal vein in sequence to be positioned in the His bundle.
    [0053] While holding both ends of the surgical wire, the operator inserts the pacemaker lead, thereby securing sufficient supporting force to safely insert the lead tip of the pacemaker into the tissue of the ventricular septum.
    [0054] According to the present invention as described above, the position of the His bundle may be easily detected by coupling the electrocardiogram sensor 68 to the capture catheter 60, and the electrical stimulation may be effectively transmitted by inserting the tip of the pacemaker lead 70 into the His bundle. In addition, since the surgical wire 10 serves as a support, the pacemaker lead 70 may be stably and easily inserted into the His bundle.
    [0055] Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be understood that those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may implement the present invention in other specific forms without departing from the technical spirit or essential features thereof. Therefore, the exemplary embodiments described above are to be understood in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
