脈瘤の破裂を防止する方法が採用されている。2. Description of the Related Art There are various tubular organs in the human body that cannot be reached by external surgery, or when external surgery is complicated. However, a method has been taken in which a drug, a dilator, a plugging substance, or the like is placed and treatment is performed. For example, when treating an aneurysm formed in a blood vessel, a catheter is guided through the blood vessel to the aneurysm, a metal coil or the like is inserted into the arterial flow through the catheter, and the inside of the aneurysm is filled with the metal coil or the like to form a thrombus. It is used to prevent the inflow of blood and prevent the aneurysm from rupturing.

テーテル2の先端位置を固定する。FIG. 12 shows an example of the above-mentioned treatment method. That is, the parent catheter 2 is inserted into the blood vessel 1 in which the aneurysm 1a is formed, and when the tip of the parent catheter 2 reaches the vicinity of the aneurysm 1a, the balloon 3 attached to the outer circumference of the tip of the parent catheter 2 is inserted. Inflate and fix the tip position of the parent catheter 2.

It is placed at the entrance of a. Then, the coil 5 made of platinum or the like is inserted into the child catheter 4, and the guide wire 6 as a pusher pushes the coil 5 into the aneurysm 1a from the tip of the child catheter 4. Thus, the aneurysm 1a is closed by inserting a large number of coils 5 into the aneurysm 1a.

22号参照)。As another method, a metal coil to be indwelled in an aneurysm is attached to the tip of the guide wire, and the tip of the guide wire is inserted into the aneurysm to electrolyze the metal. A therapeutic device has been proposed in which the coil is separated from the tip of the guide wire and left in the aneurysm (for example, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5-5003).

な時間をかけて慎重に行わなければならなかった。However, as shown in FIG.
In the method shown in FIG. 2, when the coil 5 is pushed out from the child catheter 4, if the coil 5 does not completely enter the aneurysm 1a and protrudes toward the flow path of the blood vessel 1, the coil 5
Due to this, the flow path of the blood vessel 1 may be blocked. In this case, once the coil 5 has been pushed out from the child catheter 4, it cannot be pulled back to the child catheter 5, so the doctor has to spend a great deal of time in pushing out the coil 5 carefully.

響を与える虞れがあった。Further, in the method of attaching a metal coil to the tip of the guide wire and separating it by electrolysis, after confirming that the metal coil is placed in the aneurysm, it can be separated from the guide wire by applying electricity. However, the energization time required to disconnect the metal coil is very long.
As shown in FIG. 2, since the blood flow in the blood vessel 1 is temporarily stopped by using the balloon 3, there is a time limitation and there is a problem that the device becomes large-scale. Further, there is a possibility that metal ions may be eluted into blood due to electrolysis and adversely affect the human body.

If the balloon ruptures inside the aneurysm, the aneurysm itself is very likely to rupture.

まう虞れがあった。Furthermore, in the method of inserting silk thread, synthetic resin beads, or liquid plugging substance into the aneurysm to occlude the aneurysm, all of these substances are easily washed away by the bloodstream, so that other parts of the blood vessel are blocked. There is a possibility that it may flow into the flow path and block the flow path.
