Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to an interventional drainage shunt tube with a slit valve. Background Art
[0002] Hydrocephalus is one of the most common and important neurosurgical conditions affecting children and adults. Hydrocephalus, meaning "water on the brain," refers to the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. Excessive intracranial pressure caused by hydrocephalus can lead to numerous significant symptoms, ranging from headaches to neurological impairment, coma, and death. Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear, physiological fluid that bathes the entire nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. Cells in the choroid plexus, located within the ventricles of the brain, produce CSF. In healthy patients, cells within the arachnoid granulations reabsorb CSF produced in the choroid plexus. Arachnoid granulations span the surface of the brain's intracranial venous drainage system and reabsorb CSF stored in the subarachnoid space into the venous system. Approximately 450 to 500 mL of CSF are produced and reabsorbed daily, maintaining a steady-state volume and pressure of approximately 8-16 cm HO within the intracranial compartments.
[0003] Hydrocephalus most often develops due to impaired CSF reabsorption, but sometimes also due to excessive secretion. Impaired reabsorption is called communicating hydrocephalus. Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a form of communicating hydrocephalus. Unlike other forms of communicating hydrocephalus, patients with NPH may experience little or no increase in intracranial pressure. It is believed that in patients with NPH, the CSF-filled ventricles in the brain enlarge to accommodate the increased volume of CSF in the subarachnoid space.
[0004] Typically, CSF is "shunted" (diverted) using the following types of shunts: A ventriculoperitoneal shunt diverts CSF from the ventricles of the brain to the peritoneal cavity. A ventriculoatrial shunt diverts CSF from the ventricles of the brain to the heart cavity. A lumbar-peritoneal shunt diverts CSF from the lower back to the peritoneal cavity.
[0005] In recent years, a percutaneous / vascular interventional treatment for cerebrospinal fluid shunting has been proposed. The specific treatment method involves deploying a shunt in the patient's ventricles and adjacent veins, such as the cerebellopontine angle cistern and the inferior petrosal sinus. The distal portion of the shunt is introduced through the IPS and fixed in the patient's cerebellopontine (CP) angle cistern, which contains cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The proximal portion of the shunt is fixed in or near the patient's jugular vein (JV). CSF flows from the CP angle cistern into the JV through the shunt's flow channel to maintain a normal pressure difference between the patient's subarachnoid space and venous system.
[0006] The standard treatment for hydrocephalus is the implantation of a shunt. While there's currently no cure for hydrocephalus, a shunt can help alleviate some of the condition's symptoms. A shunt drains excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain's ventricles and redirects it to another part of the body. This procedure helps enlarged ventricles return to their normal size, relieving the symptoms of hydrocephalus. Shunts are typically made of silicone and plastic, and all components of the shunt are placed under the skin; no parts are external.
[0007] Existing shunts typically consist of a catheter and a one-way valve, which regulates the amount, direction, and pressure of cerebrospinal fluid flowing out of the ventricles. Slit valves are an early design for one-way valves in hydrocephalus drainage devices and are commonly used in treatments such as ventriculoperitoneal shunts. The principle of a slit valve is that when the pressure inside the tube exceeds the pressure outside, the tube wall deforms under force, the valve on the tube body opens, and the fluid flows out. When the pressure inside the tube falls below the pressure outside, the tube wall recovers and the valve gradually closes. The slit valve is located on the side of the tube body. Shunts have a blind end at one end, creating a blind cavity within the tube. Gas trapped in this cavity can be difficult to expel. Silicone tubing used in extracorporeal drainage methods like ventriculoperitoneal drainage has a thick wall and large inner diameter. Prior to implantation, the shunt can be degassed by pressing and assisted flushing. Even if gas remains in the blind end of the shunt tube after implantation, it will not significantly affect the patient and will not affect the shunt function of the slit.
[0008] However, due to the specific application environment of percutaneous / vascular interventional shunt drainage, the tube diameter must be small to avoid excessive tube blockage and thrombosis, and the tube wall must be thin to match the opening pressure and flow rate requirements of ventricular venous drainage. Therefore, the shunt tube must be a thin-walled capillary tube. For thin-walled capillaries, the surface tension between the gas-liquid-tube body has a significant impact on the capillary lumen, and the slit valve on the thin-walled capillary tube is easily damaged. Therefore, it is difficult to expel the gas in the thin-walled capillary tube through extrusion in the extracorporeal drainage method, and it is easy to damage the shunt tube and the slit valve. Moreover, after the shunt tube is implanted in the blood vessel, the coagulation components in the blood flow or diffuse in the reverse direction and interact with the gas in the blind cavity, which can easily form thrombi and emboli, thereby blocking the valve, or even forming gas emboli. For example, when the pressure outside the tube is greater than or equal to the pressure inside the tube and the valve is not closed in time, the blood reacts with the gas in the blind cavity to form emboli. In addition, before surgery, the temperature of the shunt in the operating room is usually lower than that of the human body, such as 25 degrees Celsius; after the shunt is implanted in the human body, the ambient temperature of the shunt increases relative to the operating room temperature, and the unexpelled gas expands in the lumen of the shunt, increasing the gas pressure. In addition, the pressure difference between the posterior cerebral cistern and the vein after implantation is not sufficient to discharge the gas, thereby affecting the drainage effect of the shunt, and even closing the valve due to the elastic force of the tube body, resulting in shunt failure.
[0009] Therefore, when using vascular interventional drainage to treat hydrocephalus, reducing the residual gas in the slit valve of the shunt tube and ensuring stable drainage of the shunt tube is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0010] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an interventional drainage shunt tube with a slit valve, which is used to be deployed in the patient's ventricular system and venous system to discharge cerebrospinal fluid in the patient's ventricular system into the venous system, thereby improving the stability and safety of the interventional drainage shunt tube.
[0011] The present invention is implemented using the following technical solution: a tubular body comprising a distal portion provided with a cerebrospinal fluid inlet, a proximal portion provided as a blind end, and an inner cavity connecting the distal portion and the proximal portion; a slit valve provided on a peripheral wall of the proximal portion near the blind end; the slit valve opens due to a pressure difference between the ventricular system and the venous system to discharge cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricular system to the venous system; the slit valve extends in the axial direction of the tubular body to form an axial length L1 that is longer than in the radial direction; and a distance l0 in the axial direction between an end of the slit valve near the blind end and the blind end satisfies the following conditions: Where T1 is the temperature of the shunt during hydration and degassing, P2 is the relative pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles, P1 is the air pressure, and T2 is the human body temperature. This prevents excess gas from remaining between the slit valve and the blind end of the drainage shunt, ultimately leading to complete blockage and failure of the drainage shunt.
[0012] As a further improvement of the above solution, the slit valve includes a first valve slit, which extends in the axial direction of the tube body to form an axial length L1 that is longer than the radial direction. The axial length L1 of the first valve slit is less than or equal to 8 mm, and the outer diameter of the tube body is less than or equal to 1 mm and the inner diameter is less than or equal to 0.5 mm.
[0013] As a further improvement of the above solution, the first valve slit is a first slit, the first slit is parallel to the horizontal axis of the tube body, the length of the first slit is 4-8 mm, and the distance between the side of the first slit close to the blind end and the blind end is 0 mm.
[0014] As a further improvement of the above solution, the slit valve further includes a second valve slit of a different shape from the first valve slit, the first valve slit and the second valve slit have different lengths, shapes and setting positions, the opening flow of the first valve slit is greater than that of the second valve slit, and the distance between the end of the first valve slit close to the blind end and the blind end in the axial direction is l0, and l0 satisfies ;
[0015] Alternatively, the slit valve further includes a second valve slit of the same shape as the first valve slit, the second valve slit is closer to the blind end relative to the first valve slit, and the distance between the end of the first valve slit closer to the blind end and the blind end in the axial direction is l0, and l0 satisfies .
[0016] In this way, by setting the first valve slit, the second valve slit and the distance from the blind end, the interventional drainage shunt tube can be matched with different opening pressures, while avoiding excessive gas residue that causes the slit valve to fail.
[0017] As a further improvement of the above scheme, the first valve slit is a second slit away from the blind end, the second slit is parallel to the horizontal axis of the tube body or inclined to the horizontal axis of the tube body, and the second valve slit is a first secondary slit close to the blind end, and the axial length of the first secondary slit is smaller than the second slit, so that when the pressure in the inner cavity of the tube body is lower than the pressure on the outer surface, the pressure on the tube wall can allow the second slit to close.
[0018] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned scheme, a first valve slit and a second valve slit are provided on the tube body. The first valve slit is a third slit close to the blind end and parallel to the horizontal axis of the tube body. The second valve slit is a second sub-slit away from the blind end. The axial length of the second sub-slit is smaller than that of the third slit, so that when the intracranial pressure is low, only the third slit is opened, and when the opening pressure of the second sub-slit is reached, the second sub-slit and the third slit can be opened at the same time.
[0019] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned solution, a first valve slit and a second valve slit are provided on the tube body. The first valve slit is a fourth slit parallel to the horizontal axis of the tube body and located close to the blind end position. The second valve slit is a plurality of small valve openings away from the blind end position. The axial length of a single small valve opening is smaller than the first valve slit.
[0020] As a further improvement to the above solution, an adjustment structure is provided at the end of the first valve slit. The adjustment structure is a slit or a hole, which can further prevent gas from being trapped in the first valve slit and causing failure of the drainage shunt tube.
[0021] And / or, an adjustment structure is provided on the same circumferential tube body section of the first valve slit, and the adjustment structure penetrates or does not penetrate the side wall of the tube body, which can further reduce the opening pressure and flow resistance of the slit valve and ensure the stability of the opening of the slit valve on the interventional drainage shunt tube.
[0022] As a further improvement of the above solution, the proximal end of the tube body is filled with a filler to form a blind end, and the filler includes one or a combination of silicone glue, metal, and UV light curing glue;
[0023] As a further improvement of the above solution, the tube body includes silicone and metal materials with different structures, thereby changing the surface tension between solid-liquid, solid-gas, and gas-liquid, as well as the interaction with the tube body and the opening pressure of the slit valve.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] By setting the position of the slit valve on the drainage shunt tube, the distance l0 between the slit valve and the blind end of the drainage shunt tube body is set to meet , so as to avoid excessive gas remaining between the slit valve and the blind end of the drainage shunt tube body, thereby preventing the coagulation components in the blood from flowing back or diffusing and reacting with the gas retained in the shunt tube to form a thrombus that blocks the slit valve orifice, causing the drainage shunt tube to be completely blocked and fail.
[0026] The distance l0 between the slit valve and the blind end of the drainage shunt tube is set to 0 mm, so that no retention cavity is formed between the slit valve and the blind end of the drainage shunt tube. As a result, when gas is transported into the drainage shunt tube, it is less likely to be retained in the drainage shunt tube body and can be discharged directly through the slit valve. This can prevent the reverse flow or diffusion of coagulation components in the blood from interacting with the gas retained in the blind end, which can easily form thrombi.
[0027] The drainage shunt tube body is made of a combination of metal and silicone, and the metal and silicone have different combinations. Different combinations can change the surface tension between solid-liquid, solid-gas, and gas-liquid, as well as the interaction with the tube body and the opening pressure of the slit valve, thereby improving the gas discharge effect;
[0028] The slit valve includes a first valve slit and a second valve slit, and the first valve slit has different lengths, shapes and setting positions, while the second valve slit has different forms. The combination of the two different forms enables the slit valve to have different opening pressures, which can not only avoid backflow in the slit valve, but also ensure the stability of the slit valve, avoid the situation of too fast or too slow flow rate, thereby ensuring that the drainage shunt tube can drain stably.

[0043] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0044] Please combine Figures 1-12An interventional drainage shunt with a slit valve is used to be deployed in the patient's ventricular system and venous system to discharge cerebrospinal fluid in the patient's ventricular system into the venous system, including a tubular structure tube body 1, the tube body 1 including a distal portion provided with a cerebrospinal fluid inlet, a proximal portion provided with a blind end 9, and an inner cavity connecting the distal portion and the proximal portion, a slit valve is provided on the peripheral wall of the proximal portion near the blind end 9, the slit valve is opened by the pressure difference between the ventricular system and the venous system to discharge cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricular system to the venous system, the slit valve extends in the axial direction of the tube body 1 to form an axial length L1 that is longer than that in the radial direction, and the distance l0 between the end of the slit valve near the blind end 9 and the blind end 9 in the axial direction satisfies , where T1 is the temperature of the shunt tube during hydration and exhaust, L1 is the axial length of the slit valve, P2 is the relative pressure of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricle, P1 is the air pressure, and T2 is the human body temperature. This prevents excessive gas from remaining between the slit valve and the blind end 9 of the drainage shunt tube body, thereby preventing the coagulation components in the blood from flowing back or diffusing and interacting with the gas retained in the shunt tube to form a thrombus that blocks the slit valve orifice, resulting in complete blockage and failure of the drainage shunt tube.
[0045] The slit valve includes a first valve slit 4, which extends in the axial direction of the tube body 1 to form an axial length L1 that is longer than the radial direction. The axial length L1 of the first valve slit 4 is less than or equal to 8 mm. The tube body 1 is a capillary tube with an outer diameter of less than or equal to 1 mm and an inner diameter of less than or equal to 0.5 mm. Preferably, the axial length L1 of the first valve slit 4 is less than or equal to 6.5 mm.
[0046] The slit valve includes a first valve slit 4 and a second valve slit 5 having a different shape from the first valve slit 4. The first valve slit 4 has different lengths, shapes, and locations, so that the slit valve has different opening pressures and different exhaust effects. The opening flow rate of the first valve slit 4 is greater than that of the second valve slit 5. The distance between the end of the first valve slit 4 close to the blind end 9 and the blind end 9 in the axial direction is l0, and l0 satisfies: , where T1 is the temperature of the shunt tube during hydration exhaust, L1 is the axial length of the slit valve, P2 is the relative pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricle, P1 is the air pressure, and T2 is the human body temperature.
[0047] Alternatively, the slit valve includes a first valve slit 4 and a second valve slit 5 of the same shape as the first valve slit 4. The second valve slit 5 is closer to the blind end 9 than the first valve slit 4. The distance between the end of the first valve slit 4 closer to the blind end 9 and the blind end 9 in the axial direction is l0, and l0 satisfies , where T1 is the temperature of the shunt tube during hydration exhaust, L1 is the axial length of the slit valve, P2 is the relative pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricle, P1 is the air pressure, and T2 is the human body temperature.
[0048] The slit valve is a one-way valve, which is defined as a reverse flow rate of less than 5 ml / hour within a pressure range of 400 mmH2O (due to defects in the processing of thin-walled capillaries, it is impossible to completely guarantee that there is no reverse flow. As long as the reverse flow rate is less than a specific value within the working range, it is considered to meet the one-way function). When the pressure in the inner cavity of the tube body 1 is lower than the pressure on the outer surface, the tube wall is compressed and the first valve slit 4 is closed, preventing external liquid from entering the inner cavity. When the pressure in the inner cavity of the tube body 1 is higher than the pressure on the outer surface, the tube wall expands, the outer diameter increases, and the first valve slit 4 opens slightly. The first valve slit 4 and the second valve slit 5 are not connected, which can improve the strength of the tube body 1, thereby reducing the damage to the strength of the tube body 1 caused by the slit valve.
[0049] Specifically, the outer diameter of the tube body 1 is 0.5-0.7 mm, and the inner diameter is 0.2-0.3 mm.
[0050] refer to Figure 8 The side wall structure of the first valve slit 4 can be parallel to or inclined with the axial cross section of the tube body 1 .
[0051] There is at least one first valve slit 4 in the slit valve with the largest flow rate within the pressure range of 400 mm H2O. The maximum axial distance between the blind end 9 and the first valve slit 4 is l0. , where T1 is the temperature of the diverter pipe during hydration exhaust, L1 is the axial length of the first valve slit 4, is the relative pressure of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles, is the air pressure, and T2 is the human body temperature.
[0052] The blind end 9 is composed of silicone glue 2 and a developing ring 3, including but not limited to silicone glue 2, metal, UV light curing glue, etc. and their combinations.
[0053] like Figure 10 As shown, the tube body 1 is made of elastic material and is composed of silicone 101 of different structures and metal material 102. The silicone 101 can also be replaced by similar materials such as TPU, wherein the metal material 102 includes but is not limited to stainless steel, nickel-titanium alloy, and titanium alloy. The tube body 1 can be configured so that the inner wall tube is metal material 102 and the outer wall tube is silicone 101; or the metal material 102 is in the middle of the silicone tube body; the metal material 102 can also be set on the outside of the silicone tube body; and the combination of different structures can change the surface tension between solid-liquid, solid-gas, and gas-liquid, as well as the interaction with the tube body 1 and the opening pressure of the slit valve, thereby improving the gas discharge effect.
[0054] The first valve slit 4 is a slit formed directly on the pipe body 1 and penetrating the pipe wall; it can also be a slit valve element fixed to the pipe body 1, see Figure 11 .
[0055] See also Figure 11A thin-walled metal ring 8 is provided around the first valve slit 4 to play a developing role.
[0056] The inner wall and surface of the tube body 1 are provided with a hydrophilic coating, especially at the entrance of the tube body 1 and adjacent positions. The hydrophilic coating can be a phosphorylcholine coating to improve the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the surface of the tube body 1, thereby improving the exhaust conditions.
[0057] like Figure 11 The end of the first valve slit 4 is provided with an adjustment structure 6, which is a slit or a hole. The setting of the adjustment structure 6 can further prevent the first valve slit 4 from retaining gas and causing the drainage shunt tube to fail. Figure 11 (a) to (c), the slit adjustment structure extends in the direction of the first valve slit 4 at an angle; see Figure 11 (d) The hole adjustment structure is set to a size larger than the width of the first valve slit 4.
[0058] like Figure 12 An adjustment structure 7 is provided on the same circumferential tube body section of the first valve slit 4. The adjustment structure 7 penetrates or does not penetrate the side wall of the tube body 1. The axial length of the adjustment structure 7 is smaller than the first valve slit 4. The adjustment structure 7 is a penetrating slit or a non-penetrating slit or a non-penetrating hole, which can further reduce the opening pressure and flow resistance of the slit valve, thereby ensuring the stability of the opening of the slit valve on the interventional drainage shunt tube.
[0059] The regulating structure 6 and the adjusting structure 7 may exist separately and cooperate with the first valve slit 4 , or they may exist simultaneously.
[0060] In the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, a first valve slit 4 is separately provided on the tube body 1, and the first valve slit 4 is a first slit 401. The first slit 401 is parallel to the horizontal axis of the tube body 1, and the axial length (L1) of the first slit 401 is 4-8 mm. The axial length (L1) of the first slit 401 is preferably 4-6 mm, and the distance (l0) between the first slit 401 and the blind end 9 is 0 mm, so as to avoid residual gas in the space between the first slit 401 and the blind end 9.
[0061] To avoid complete blockage, In order to reduce the influence of the gas at the blind end 9, the distance between the blind end 9 and the first slit 401 is 0 mm.
[0062] In the second embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the pipe body 1 is provided with a first valve slit 4 and a second valve slit 5. The first valve slit 4 is a second slit 402 away from the blind end 9. The second slit 402 is parallel to the horizontal axis of the pipe body 1 or inclined to the horizontal axis of the pipe body 1. The second valve slit 5 is a first sub-slit 502 close to the blind end 9. The pipe body 1 is provided with two slits, the second slit 402 and the first sub-slit 502. The axial length of the first sub-slit 502 is smaller than the second slit 402. Under normal circumstances, the flow rate of the second slit 402 is the largest. , the flow rate of the first slit 502 is low or in a closed state, the inclination angle of the second slit 402 with the horizontal axis of the tube body 1 is less than 45° when the second slit 402 is in an inclined state, the length L1 of the second slit 402 is 4.5 mm, the relative pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricle is 103.3 kPa, the hydration temperature T1 before implantation is 20°C, the air pressure before implantation is 101.3 kPa, and the human body temperature T2 is 37°C. At this time, the distance l0 between the second slit 402 and the blind end 9 must meet mm.
[0063] In the third embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, a first valve slit 4 and a second valve slit 5 are provided on the tube body 1. The first valve slit 4 is a third slit 403 close to the blind end 9 and parallel to the horizontal axis of the tube body 1. The second valve slit 5 is a second sub-slit 503 away from the blind end 9. In this embodiment, the axial length of the second sub-slit 503 is smaller than the axial length of the third slit 403, the flow rate of the third slit 403 is greater than the second sub-slit 503, and the opening pressure of the second sub-slit 503 is greater than the third slit 403. When the intracranial pressure is low, only the third slit 403 is opened. When the opening pressure of the second sub-slit 503 is reached, the second sub-slit 503 and the third slit 403 are opened at the same time, thereby accelerating the discharge of intracranial water accumulation and solving the problem of excessive flow rate when the intracranial pressure is low. In this way, multi-stage flow rate control can be achieved under different intracranial pressure conditions.
[0064] In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, a first valve slit 4 and a second valve slit 5 are provided on the tube body 1. The first valve slit 4 is a fourth slit 404 parallel to the horizontal axis of the tube body 1 and located near the blind end 9. The second valve slit 5 is a plurality of small valve openings 504 away from the blind end 9. The second valve slit 5 can be a plurality of small valve openings 504 of different lengths, which are not connected to each other. The plurality of small valve openings 504 can be on the same horizontal axis, or at different heights and positions. The axial length of a single small valve opening 504 is smaller than the first valve slit 4.
[0065] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and replacements made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
