The thromboembolic events during neuroendovascular therapy (NET) are the major complications of concern that can be occasionally fatal. The thrombotic occlusion of the guide catheter for NET is thought to be the risk of the thromboembolic events. We have developed an idea for inventing the monitoring system of the continuous irrigation through the guide catheter. We herein present a unique invention of the guide catheter irrigation monitoring device.
We have developed ideas for preventing the thrombotic occlusion of the guide catheter. In order to design a convenient device working in the practical use, we have consulted and shared the ideas with the electrical engineers about putting the invention.
The guide catheter irrigation monitoring device (GCIMD) consisted of three parts of optical sensor, main body and electric adapter. In brief, the basic principles of working of the GCIMD are as follows. The optical sensor is attached to the dripping chamber of the line to irrigation solution. The main body had the small light and speaker to make an alarm sounds. The sensor monitors the dripping of flush solution. If the dripping stops more than three seconds, a warning alarm has been activated. So, the operating physicians can concentrate and check the guide catheter irrigation. After the use of the GCIMD, there was no major thromboembolic complication in conjunction with the thrombotic occlusion of the guide catheter in our institute.
We have developed a brilliant invention of the GCIMD for NET.
神经血管内治疗（NET）期间的血栓栓塞事件是主要关注的并发症，偶尔可能致命。NET中导引导管的血栓形成性闭塞被认为是血栓栓塞事件的风险。我们提出了一种发明通过导引导管进行持续冲洗监测系统的想法。在此，我们展示一种独特的导引导管冲洗监测装置发明。
我们提出了预防导引导管血栓形成性闭塞的想法。为了设计一种在实际使用中方便的装置，我们就该发明与电气工程师进行了咨询和想法分享。
导引导管冲洗监测装置（GCIMD）由光学传感器、主体和电适配器三部分组成。简而言之，GCIMD的基本工作原理如下。光学传感器附着于冲洗液管路的滴壶上。主体有小灯和扬声器以发出警报声。传感器监测冲洗液的滴注情况。如果滴注停止超过三秒，就会启动警告警报。这样，手术医生就能集中精力并检查导引导管冲洗情况。在我们机构使用GCIMD后，未出现与导引导管血栓形成性闭塞相关的重大血栓栓塞并发症。
我们为NET研发出了出色的GCIMD发明。
