technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a completely degradable left atrial appendage occluder, which belongs to the technical field of medical instruments. Background technique
[0002] The left atrial appendage is located on the inner corner of the left atrium, which is a dead end for blood, and the main relevant people with potential risks are patients with atrial fibrillation. After the atrial systolic pressure is lowered in patients with atrial fibrillation, the blood flow in the left atrial appendage will be slower, which will easily lead to blood coagulation into thrombus. If the thrombus falls off, it is likely to reach the intracranial blood vessels through the blood flow and block the tiny cerebral blood vessels, resulting in ischemic stroke. 17% of patients with atrial fibrillation develop blood clots, and about 91% of these blood clots originate from the left atrial appendage. Stroke caused by atrial fibrillation has three characteristics: high disabili...
