Outline of Final Research Achievements

The material of the electrode patch and the sterility method were selected. As a material, we examined a material suitable for 3D printer processing, which does not change the shape, strength, and elasticity by normal sterilization treatment. We made a prototype patch using UV (ultraviolet) curable resin with a unique coating (urethane resin) on the multi-material laminate of a 3D printer, sterilized with ethylene oxide gas and autoclave, and sterilized in shape, strength, elasticity, etc. We examined the changes in. Ethylene oxide gas sterilization showed no change in appearance, but autoclave showed discoloration. Based on the above, it was decided to use UV curable resin as the material for the electrode patch and to adopt ethylene oxide gas sterilization.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

患者の術前のCTあるいはMRI画像から心房形態の3次元構築を行い、3Dプリンターを用いて個々の患者の心房の形態にあった個体別3D心房多極電極を作製し、その電極を用いた心房マッピングを行うことにより、より正確な心房興奮伝播の解析を可能にする事である。さらに従来のマッピング電極ではなし得なかった左右心房を跨ぐ形で電極を配置することにより左右心房間伝導の正確な検討が可能となる。
