A vibrator for use in enhancement of pre-hospital coronary thrombolysis comprising a vibration source operable to generate vibration at a frequency in the range of 1-1000 Hz with at least a pair of oscillatory contacts spaced to enable simultaneous seating to the anatomic left and right of the sternum (such as to match the geometry of the right and left coronary arteries) of a patient in need of coronary thrombolysis. The preferred vibrator is operable to emit vibration in the low frequency sonic range (at least 20 Hz) with an amplitude of about 1 mm-15 mm (and more preferably greater than 2 mm), such as to provide an effective transthoracic tool for acute coronary thrombolysis applications. In a variation, greater than a pair of contacts are utilized to provide oscillatory contact at differing intercostal space levels (in order to maximize vibratory penetration to the heart which is variably situated depending on the patient's anatomy).

The present invention relates to a cardiovascular diagnostic system which enables early detection of cardiovascular diseases and defines their causes. Unlike known electrocardiographs, the cardiovascular diagnosis system can further measure elastic coefficient of blood vessels (the degree of arteriosclerosis), blood vessel compliance, blood flow, and blood flow resistance and velocity in blood vessel branches of the right and left coronary arteries. The elastic coefficient shows organic changes to blood vessels. The compliance shows organic and functional changes of blood vessels simultaneously. The blood flow shows blood flow resistance.

The invention provides a bending adjusting handle and a bending adjustable catheter with the bending adjusting handle. The bending adjustable catheter comprises a catheter body, the bending adjustinghandle and at least two traction parts, wherein at least two bending adjustable sections arranged at an interval are arranged at the remote end of the catheter body; the bending adjusting handle comprises a driving mechanism and a control mechanism connected with the driving mechanism; the remote end of each traction part is connected with one of the bending adjustable sections; and the near end of each traction part is connected with a secondary sliding part of the driving mechanism of the bending adjusting handle. By manipulating the bending adjusting handle, the bending adjustable sectionscan be simultaneously driven to be bent to form different composite bending shapes, or one bending adjustable section is separately driven to be bent to finely adjust the bending shape of the corresponding bending adjustable section, so that operations such as a left coronary artery intervention operation and a right coronary artery intervention operation with different requirements on morphologies of the remote end of the bending adjustable catheter can be performed by using one same bending adjustable catheter, and individual differences of physiological anatomical structures of lumens of different paints can be met.

Disclosed herein is a catheter for a left coronary artery having a distal end for being introduced into an opening of the left coronary artery from an artery of an arm. The catheter can include a catheter main body including a main body portion of a substantially linear shape in a natural state thereof and a curved portion extending from the main body portion to form a portion that extends to the distal end and has a curved shape in a natural state thereof.

The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a dual-head coronary artery direct perfusion tube, which is composed of a handle, a left coronary artery perfusion head, a hard connecting rod, a high-density right coronary artery perfusion head and a soft perfusion tube. As that weight of the right coronary artery perfusion head is several time of that of the leftcoronary artery perfusion head, the right coronary artery perfusion head can be naturally lowered to the right coronary artery orifice and position under the action of gravity. As that double-headed coronary artery direct perfusion tube of the invention is use, the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery can be simultaneously perfusion, the perfusion time is shortened by half, the wholeoperation time is greatly shorten, the operation risk can be reduced, and great benefits are brought to the patients. The double-headed coronary artery direct perfusion tube of the invention can simultaneously perfusion the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery, thus shortening the perfusion time by half.

The invention provides a method and a device for dividing a coronary artery. The method comprises the following steps: (1) determining the position of an aorta in an original image, and performing reinforced filtering on the original image, thereby obtaining a reinforced filtered image; (2) obtaining the starting areas of a left coronary artery and a right coronary artery according to the position of the aorta, the original image and the gray scale of the reinforced filtered image; (3) dividing the reinforced filtered image based on at least one preset dividing threshold, obtaining a candidate area which corresponds with the preset threshold, and determining the candidate areas of the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery according to the candidate area and the starting areas of the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery; and (4) according to the position relationship between the aorta and the candidate areas of the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery, respectively screening the candidate areas of the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery, connecting the screened candidate areas with the starting areas, and obtaining the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery. The method and the device provided by the technical solution of the invention can wholly, accurately and automatically extract the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery, thereby facilitating qualitative and quantitative analysis and treatment for diseases of angiocardiopathy by a doctor.

Systems and methods to provide end to end stabilization support to the operational catheter and reduce the need to stabilize or push from the lateral wall of the aorta during coronary interventions. This reduces the potential for stroke from plaque breaking off the wall of the aorta during intervention procedures. A support and stabilization wire having one end at the femoral percutaneous access and the second end at a radial percutaneous access is established for end to end stabilization. A bifurcated catheter having a wide lumen for procedural catheters and a narrow lumen for the support wire or catheter is advanced over the support wire to the aortic arch. A procedural catheter and a variety of different shaped guide wires may be deployed from the wide lumen of the bifurcated catheter into the right or left coronary artery to accommodate a range of aortic anatomical considerations during the coronary interventions.
