[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a multi-stage diameter-variable thrombus removal micro-stent is provided.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the multi-stage variable diameter thrombus removal micro-stent according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a handle 1 and a thrombus removal stent 2, the handle 1 is located at one end of the thrombus removal stent 2, a delivery tube 3 is provided between one end of the thrombus removal stent 2 and the handle 1, a traction wire 4 is provided in the middle of the delivery tube 3 and inserted into the interior of the handle 1, the thrombus removal stent 2 includes a guide head 5 and a mesh frame 6, one end of the traction wire 4 is inserted in the middle of the mesh frame 6 and connected to the guide head 5, and a blocking umbrella is provided at the front end of the guide head 5. A sliding groove 25 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the handle 1, and a push knob 7 connected to the traction wire 4 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the handle 1, a placement groove 8 is provided in the middle of the push knob 7, an elastic telescopic rod 9 is provided inside the placement groove 8, a button 10 is provided at the upper end of the elastic telescopic rod 9, an extension block 11 is provided at one end of the button 10, a rotating shaft 12 connected to the push knob 7 is provided in the middle of the extension block 11, and a limiting block 13 is provided at one end of the extension block 11.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] like Figure 1-10 As shown, one end of the handle 1 is provided with an anti-slip groove 14. The middle portion of the handle 1 is an arc-shaped structure, and anti-slip grooves 15 are provided at both ends of the handle 1 located within the arc. The lower end of the handle 1 is provided with an anti-slip elastic band 16, and a contraction adjustment member 17 is provided in the middle of the anti-slip elastic band 16. Mounting holes are provided on both sides of the lower end of the handle 1, and buckles are provided at both ends of the anti-slip elastic band 16 to connect to the mounting holes. A scale 18 with a number of scale numbers is provided on both sides of the handle 1.

[0034] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the two ends of the mesh frame 6 are respectively provided with a developing ring 19 and a developing ring 20. The developing ring 19 is located between the guide head 5 and the mesh frame 6, and the developing ring 20 is located between the conveying tube 3 and the mesh frame 6. A slide 21 is provided between the lower end of the button 10 and the elastic telescopic rod 9. The sliders on both ends of the slide 21 are connected to the inner wall grooves of the push button 7. The lower end of the limit block 13 is provided with a rubber limit pad 22, and the lower end of the rubber limit pad 22 is provided with a plurality of bevel teeth 23. The middle part of the upper end of the handle 1 is provided with a bevel groove 24 that cooperates with the bevel teeth 23.

[0035] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation mode of the present invention in actual process is described in detail below.

[0036] In actual application, the mesh frame 6 has a minimum thrombus removal diameter of 0.5-2 mm, so that the mesh gap of the mesh frame 6 gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end. The mesh design with a good density ensures that the thrombus removal stent 2 can be quickly embedded in the blood vessel while increasing the ability of the thrombus removal stent 2 to bind to and capture the thrombus. The density of the mesh frame 6 on the thrombus removal stent 2 can effectively prevent small thrombi from falling off the stent and reduce damage to the blood vessel wall caused by the thrombus removal stent 2 when passing through the blood vessel. The provision of a soft guide head 5 increases the flexibility of the thrombus removal stent.

[0037] By adding a blocking umbrella in front of the guide head 5, the traction wire 4 can close the blocking umbrella. If it is expanded, it does not need to be expanded and it will automatically open. When closed, it is closed by the traction wire 4. The outside of the blocking umbrella is covered with an airbag. Specifically, the blocking umbrella includes a stent propulsion catheter 26, and the propulsion catheter 26 is provided with a matching sliding block 27. The sliding block 27 is surrounded by a number of evenly distributed self-expanding stents 28. The sliding sliding block 27 is pulled by the traction wire 4 to achieve the opening or contraction of the self-expanding stent. The self-expanding stent 28 is provided with a matching airbag. In the treatment of carotid artery stenosis, endothelial angioplasty stent implantation can form embolic protection through the self-expanding stent, which is simple and convenient to operate. The expansion of the airbag on the self-expanding stent provides complete and reliable blockage of the carotid artery, simplifying the catheter operation in the subsequent steps.

[0038] By cooperating with the push-twist 7 and the traction wire 4, the operability of the thrombus removal bracket 2 is improved, and the position between them can be accurately controlled under the scale 18. At the same time, when in use, the button 10 is moved downward as the push-twist 7 is used. The button 10 squeezes the elastic telescopic rod 9 through the slide 21, and the limit block 13 at one end moves upward under the action of the rotating shaft 12. When the push-twist 7 stops moving, the button 10 is loosened, so that the limit block 13 and the rubber limit pad 22 at the bottom end are connected to the inclined groove 24 under the action of the elastic telescopic rod 9, thereby achieving the limiting effect. The diameter of the thrombus removal bracket 2 is adjusted by the push-twist 7, and the button 10 locks the push-twist 7 and fixes the diameter of the thrombus removal bracket 2 to prevent errors and more safely remove the thrombus during the retrieval process.

[0039] To sum up, with the help of the above technical solution of the present invention, by first inserting a catheter into the blood vessel, the thrombus is removed by the thrombus removal stent 2 in the catheter. The thrombus removal stent 2 can be extended and retracted by the control of the handle 1. The handle 1 adjusts the size of the thrombus removal stent 2 and performs imaging tracking and special weaving technology; the thrombus is captured better and faster, and the cooperation of the push knob 7 and the button 10 improves the operability of the thrombus removal stent, and the thrombus is removed more safely during the retrieval process, which increases practicality.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
