Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of balloon catheter, in particular to a perfusion balloon catheter with a one-way valve. BACKGROUND
[0002] In vertebrates, the heart is a muscular organ with four pumping chambers: the left and right atria, and the left and right ventricles, each of which has its own independent one-way valve. Natural heart valves are defined as the aortic valve, the mitral valve (or bicuspid valve), the tricuspid valve, and the pulmonary valve. Since the aortic valve or the mitral valve is located on the left side of the heart, it bears the most pressure, so over a long period of work, the valve leaflets will lose function and need to be repaired or replaced. Traditional artificial heart valve replacement surgery involves entering the heart through a longitudinal incision in the patient's chest, such as a median sternotomy, which requires cutting through the sternum and forcing two opposing half-ribs apart to access the chest and its heart, thus placing the patient in cardiopulmonary bypass, including stopping the heart from beating to allow access to the inner chambers. However, these open-chest surgeries are particularly invasive, with a long and difficult recovery period. Minimally invasive surgical techniques are constantly evolving, in which artificial heart valves can be introduced into the patient's body using a catheter, which is introduced through a smaller incision to access, for example, the femoral artery or the heart.
[0003] However, the high cost of valve implantation surgery has deterred most patients. Currently, most medical devices on the market for heart valve repair are designed to work with artificial valve implantation surgery, and due to their relatively simple design, they have poor treatment outcomes.
[0004] Chinese patent CN201780008580.0 discloses a perfusion balloon with an internal valve for a device for performing a medical procedure in a blood vessel, in particular an aortic valve plasty, to transport a fluid flow. The device comprises a shaft, an inflatable perfusion balloon supported by the shaft and comprising an internal passage for allowing fluid to flow in the blood vessel when the perfusion balloon is in an inflated state and a valve for controlling the flow of fluid within the passage, the valve can be connected to the shaft or can comprise an elongated tube connected partially to the balloon. The balloon can comprise a plurality of cells in a single cross-section, each cell comprising a neck and the valve can be positioned in a space between the shaft and the neck for controlling the flow of fluid within the passage, a connector can also be provided for control. However, when the balloon reaches the aorta for treatment, the doctor needs to manually control the opening and closing of the internal valve multiple times, increasing the difficulty of the operation.
[0005] A perfusion balloon with an external valve for performing a medical treatment procedure in a blood vessel for transporting a fluid flow, in particular an aortic valve reshaping procedure, is disclosed in Chinese patent application No. CN201780008641.3. The device comprises an inflatable perfusion balloon comprising an internal channel for allowing fluid flow in the blood vessel when the perfusion balloon is in an inflated state, the balloon comprising a plurality of cells in a single cross-section and a cover for at least partially covering the cells. A valve is connected to the balloon and controls the fluid flow in the channel, the valve being arranged outside the channel. The valve can form a tubular extension of the cover or can be separate from the cover and can comprise a flap. A spiral cover can also form the valve. However, on the one hand, the components increase the surface of the balloon catheter, making the outer diameter of the balloon catheter larger and the hardness increased, resulting in poor passability of the balloon catheter; on the other hand, whether it is a film or a spiral cover, due to its material characteristics, it is soft and cannot withstand multiple one-way blood impacts, and the risk of treatment failure is high. Once the balloon catheter loses the one-way valve function, the important arterial trunk may be occluded at any time, causing blood supply disorders to large areas of important organs such as the heart, kidneys and brain, which is an extremely dangerous and serious vascular critical condition that seriously endangers the patient's life safety.

[0055] Example 1
[0056] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 , the balloon body part 2 is formed by a plurality of balloon clusters, and the number of small balloons in this embodiment is 8. The 8 small balloons are all blow molded from nylon 12 balloon tubes, and the diameter of the small balloons is about 1 / 3 of the diameter of the balloon body part 2. The diameter of the balloon body part 2 can be 18-26 mm, and the effective length of the balloon body part 2 can be 30-60 mm. In this embodiment, the diameter of the balloon body part 2 is 18 mm, and the effective length is 40 mm, i.e., the diameter of the small balloons that make up the balloon body part 2 is 5 mm, and the effective length is 40 mm. The balloon protection layer 6 is woven from artificial fibers and has a ring structure with a thickness of 0.07 mm. When the balloon 2 is opened, the balloon protection layer is bonded to the balloon 2 by glue, so that the balloon protection layer covers the effective length part of the balloon. At the same time, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the balloon protection layer has 3 triangular nylon reinforcing filaments 21, and the cross-sectional side length of the triangular filaments is 2 mm. The effective length of the balloon 2 is the length of the middle cylindrical part of the small balloon, and each end has 8 conical parts 22 and 8 balloon tube legs 23. The inner diameter of the small balloon tube leg is 0.015-0.035 inches, and the outer diameter is 0.02-0.04 inches. The double-lumen tube 7 is made of nylon 12, and the length can be 60-160 cm. The diameter of the guide wire lumen can be 0.036-0.040 inches, and the outer diameter can be 0.070-0.100 inches. The inner lumen tube 4 is cut to a length of 80-120 mm (the length of the inner lumen tube is slightly longer than the total length of the balloon and the outer lumen tube after welding), and two development rings 3 are installed on the inner lumen tube 4 in advance. The development rings 3 are made of platinum-iridium alloy or X-ray visible material, and the installation method can be bonding, ring forging, or other suitable methods. In this embodiment, ring forging is used to identify the effective length of the balloon. In the middle region of the two development rings 3, there is a stable one-way valve 5 on the outside of the inner lumen tube 4. The one-way valve 5 is an umbrella-shaped structure with internal metal support. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 5As shown, the internal structure is a 0.1mm nickel-titanium wire braided structure, with a circumferential spacing of 0.5mm to 2mm, or a gradually changing spacing structure. In this embodiment, the spacing is equal and 0.5mm. The number of braided wires in the diameter direction can be 2 to 20, and in this embodiment, there are 3. The outer surface of the one-way valve 5 is composed of a thin-film, soft, biocompatible polymer material. In this embodiment, the one-way valve is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), with a thickness of 0.2mm. Its shape can be near-circular or other shapes. The inner tube 4 serves as the handle, and the one-way valve 5 is connected to the inner tube 4 with adhesive, forming an umbrella-like structure. When the balloon opens, the thin-film structure at the valve edge can adhere to the cavity formed by the bundle of 8 small balloons. The inner lumen tube is inserted into the guidewire lumen of the double-lumen tube, with an overlap length of 1–10 mm. The eight proximal balloon legs are bundled together and assembled and connected to the double-lumen tube's air chamber using laser welding. The terminal tube 1 is made of polyether block polyamide and is cut into 1–10 mm pieces (5 mm in this embodiment). It is fitted onto the distal balloon legs or the inner lumen tube outside the legs, and the distal balloon legs, inner lumen tube 4, and terminal tube 1 are welded together using thermal welding. The inner lumen tube 4 and the guidewire lumen of the double-lumen tube 7 are used to guide the guidewire. The channel formed by the air chamber of the double-lumen tube 7 connects to balloon 2 and is used to inflate the eight balloons in balloon 2.
