Abstract: A cryoablation catheter, including a first capsule body, a core tube and a heat insulation part, wherein the first capsule body is mounted at a front end of the core tube, and has a front end area adapted for fitting to myocardial tissue during a cryoablation process and a rear end area exposed to blood; the core tube has a first looping path provided therein which is adapted for a first fluid with low temperature to be filled into or flow out of the first capsule body; the heat insulation part is at least partially fitting to the rear end area, and is adapted for reducing heat exchange efficiency between the first fluid and the blood in an atrium. The cryoablation operating apparatus and the cryoablation equipment thereof can effectively reduce the heat exchange between the cryoablation catheter and the blood during a cryoablation process.

Abstract: A cryoablation catheter, comprising a balloon (1) and a delivery catheter (2) passing through the balloon (1). The delivery catheter (2) is provided with a fluid inflow cavity (21) and a fluid outflow cavity (22) therein. The fluid inflow cavity (21) extends into the balloon (1), and a side wall of the fluid inflow cavity (21) is provided with a spray head (211) that injects a liquid into the balloon (1). The spray head (211) has a number of spray holes (2111, 2112) circumferentially arranged on the exterior of the fluid inflow cavity (21). An end of the fluid outflow cavity (22) has a cross section (24) that seals the fluid outflow cavity (22), and a side wall of the fluid outflow cavity (22) is provided with a reflow hole (221) in communication with the balloon (1). A fluid flows from the fluid inflow cavity (21) through the nozzle holes (2111, 2112) into the balloon (1).
Abstract: A balloon catheter includes a catheter (1) and a balloon body (2) sleeved on the catheter (1). The balloon body (2) includes an inner layer balloon (21) and an outer layer balloon (22). The inner layer balloon (21) and the outer layer balloon (22) are both directly wrapped and fixed on the catheter (1). The inner layer balloon (21) is located inside the outer layer balloon (22). A medium channel (23) is formed between the inner layer balloon (21) and the outer layer balloon (22). An outer layer medium inlet hole (11) and a medium backflow hole (12) both in communication with the medium channel (23) are provided in the catheter (1).
Abstract: A cryoablation device comprises a freezing balloon, a catheter, a storage tank, a delivery pipeline, a recovery pipeline, and a freezing element. Within the freezing balloon circulates a freezing substance, such as a low pressure liquid or gas or a gas-liquid mixture. A cryoablation method comprises the following four steps: pre-freezing, ablation, recovery, and rewarming. Advantages of the cryoablation device and method provided herein: low risk factor, easy to operate, convenient to use, exhibits high freezing efficiency, and temperature control accuracy.
