Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically to a tissue support device. Background Technology
[0002] Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) is a condition caused by anatomical abnormalities (such as compression of the left iliac vein by the right iliac artery) or thrombosis, leading to narrowing or occlusion of blood vessels. It often results in serious complications such as lower extremity swelling, pain, varicose veins, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Traditional treatments include open surgery and thrombolysis, but these are highly invasive, have long recovery periods, and carry a high risk of restenosis.
[0003] The clinical application of iliac vein stents began in the 1980s. With the development of domestic medical technology, domestic companies such as Shanghai Ensheng Medical have launched [stents / products]. Venous stents, employing an "engraving + braiding" process, cover all indications (NIVCS, DVT, PTS), and market penetration is accelerated through centralized procurement. The diversification of domestically produced stent models (such as the 150mm ultra-long stent) further meets the needs of complex lesions.
[0004] Despite continuous advancements in iliac vein stenting technology, the root cause of iliac vein compression syndrome, which is caused by anatomical abnormalities, is the compression of the left iliac vein by the right iliac artery. Even with peripheral stent implantation surgery, the stretched iliac vein is still subjected to compression from the iliac artery, posing a constant risk of restenosis. Therefore, this patent proposes a novel peripheral vascular stent device that addresses the anatomical structure to prevent compression of the iliac vein by the iliac artery and eliminates the risk of postoperative restenosis.

[0078] In this embodiment, the ratchet structure includes an upper ratchet structure and a lower ratchet structure. The upper ratchet structure and the lower ratchet structure are arranged opposite to each other around the mounting hole and are both installed inside the bracket body 1.
[0079] The upper ratchet structure includes a pawl 6, a torsion spring 11, and a pawl 7. Pawl 6 and pawl 7 are respectively installed on both sides of the torsion spring 11.

[0081] In this embodiment, the first pawl 6 is provided with a pull ring 20, the second pawl 7 is provided with a pull ring 21, the third pawl 8 is provided with a pull ring 22, and the fourth pawl 9 is provided with a pull ring 23.
[0082] In this embodiment, a wire harness is attached to the pull ring 20 and extends through the anti-rotation hole 12 to the outside of the planar segment;
[0083] A wire harness is attached to pull ring 21 and extends through anti-rotation hole 213 to the outside of the planar section;

[0085] A wire harness is attached to pull ring 423 and extends through anti-rotation hole 415 to the outside of the planar section.
[0086] Working principle: Under no external force applied, pawls 1-6, 2-7, 3-8, and 4-9 are locked under the action of torsion springs 1-11 and 2-10. Adjusting rings 1-2 and 2-3 are stationary and cannot rotate under the action of the pawls. Slider 1-4 and 2-5 are also stationary and cannot move under the action of adjusting rings 1-2 and 2-3. At this time, the entire device is stationary. Figure 1 As shown.
[0087] During the surgical implantation, the wire bundles in the wire bundle holes 16 and 17 at both ends of the stent body 1 are first stretched to unfold the stent body 1 into a flat strip. Then, the center of the stent body 1 is placed against the iliac vein where it is compressed, and the wire bundles are slowly released so that the stent body 1 wraps around the blood vessel. Next, the wire bundle in the anti-rotation hole 12 at the plane of the stent body 1 is stretched to release the pawl 6. At this time, the operating wire bundle attached to the adjustment knob 19 on the adjustment ring 2 can be rotated counterclockwise to rotate the axial adjustment ring 2. Thus, sliders 4 and 5 move axially from the center of the plate to the outer side, i.e., the plate at both ends of the stent body 1. When sliders 4 and 5 are inserted into the grooves 33 and 32 at both ends of the stent body 1, respectively, the wire bundle in the anti-rotation hole 12 at the plane of the stent body 1 is released. At this time, pawl 6 and the other pawls are locked, the stent structure is stable, and it is in the initial working state.
[0088] Next, adjust the radial and axial length of the stent according to the diameter of the iliac vein and the length of the compression point. This device allows for adjustment in four directions: two radially and two axially. The specific steps are as follows:
[0089] 1. Pull out the wire harness of the anti-rotation hole 12 on the plane of the bracket body 1, so that the pawl 6 is released. At this time, pull the operating wire harness on the adjustment knob 19 of the adjustment ring 2 and rotate the adjustment ring 2 counterclockwise, so that the slider 4 and slider 5 move outward from the center of the plate along the axis, thereby increasing the axial length of the bracket.
[0090] 2. Pull out the wire harness of the anti-rotation hole 13 on the plane of the bracket body 1, so that the pawl 7 is released. At this time, pull the operating wire harness on the adjustment knob 18 of the adjustment ring 3 and rotate the adjustment ring 3 clockwise, so that the slider 4 and slider 5 move radially from the center of the plate to the outside, thereby increasing the radial size of the bracket.
[0091] 3. Pull out the wiring harness of the anti-rotation hole 3 14 on the plane of the bracket body 1, so that the pawl 3 8 is released. At this time, pull the operating wiring harness on the adjustment knob 2 18 of the adjustment ring 2 3 and rotate the adjustment ring 2 3 counterclockwise, so that the slider 1 4 and slider 2 5 move radially from the outside to the center of the plate, thereby reducing the radial size of the bracket.
[0092] 4. Pull out the wiring harness of the anti-rotation hole 4 15 on the plane of the bracket body 1, so that the pawl 4 9 is released. At this time, pull the operating wiring harness on the adjustment knob 19 of the adjustment ring 2 and rotate the adjustment ring 2 clockwise, so that the slider 1 4 and slider 2 5 move axially from the outside to the center of the plate, thereby reducing the axial length of the bracket.
[0093] As is known from common technical knowledge, this invention can be implemented through other embodiments that do not depart from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this invention or its equivalents are included in this invention.
