Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a blood vessel reconstruction device, a pushing device and a medical system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Coronary aneurysm refers to local expansion of the coronary artery, and the diameter of the lesion site is 1.5-2 times the diameter of the original normal blood vessel, with an incidence of about 0.3%-5.3%, which can be seen in patients of any age. The most common cause of coronary aneurysm is atherosclerosis, followed by Kawasaki disease, coronary revascularization, inflammatory arterial disease, etc.
[0003] Currently, there is no expert consensus or guideline for the treatment of coronary aneurysm in clinical practice. The existing treatment methods include interventional therapy, medical drug therapy and surgical operation therapy. Drug therapy requires patients to use antithrombotic therapy for a long time, and lifelong medication. Surgical operation is suitable for patients with severe complications, and its occlusion rate is high, but the process of open chest surgery is complex, the risk for high age group is high, and the recovery time is long. Interventional therapy is widely used in clinical treatment due to its small surgical incision, short recovery time and economy.
[0004] The instruments used in interventional therapy mainly include covered stents, stent-assisted coil embolization, filling embolic agents, blood flow reconstruction devices, etc. The covered stent can completely isolate the aneurysm and reconstruct the blood flow channel, but the small diameter covered stent has always existed problems of stent restenosis, thrombosis and branch vessel occlusion. Stent-assisted coil embolization has the risk of spring coil falling off to the distal end of the coronary artery and coronary aneurysm rupture. There are many reports of filling embolic agent leakage, so it is less used in clinical practice at present. The blood flow reconstruction device is generally a dense mesh stent, which changes the hemodynamics at the lesion site by means of dense mesh, that is, by increasing the mesh density to form turbulent flow, to form thrombus, reduce the blood flow supply in the aneurysm, and then induce the intimal hyperplasia at the neck of the coronary aneurysm to restore normal morphology.
[0005] According to relevant patents and literature review, the problems to be solved for the blood vessel reconstruction device for coronary aneurysm at present are:
[0006] (1) Not easy to withdraw and reposition: the current two-end trumpet-shaped opening design of the blood vessel reconstruction device and the microspike design mentioned in the related patents make the device end or the whole achieve good wall adhesion performance during transportation, but it is not easy to reposition during the operation process after fixation, and the surface microspike structure is more likely to pierce the blood vessels in the lesion area to cause false aneurysm.
[0007] (2) Poor axial length stability: the woven blood vessel reconstruction device has good compliance, but the axial length change rate is large after being affected by external force, causing the doctor to have difficulty in determining the implant length and area during actual implantation.

[0049] In order to make the objects, advantages and features of the present application more clearly, the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that all the drawings are very simplified and not drawn according to scale, and are only used to facilitate and clearly assist the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the structures shown in the drawings are often part of the actual structures. In particular, different scales are sometimes used to show the different emphasis of each drawing. It should also be understood that, unless specifically described or indicated, the terms "first", "second", "third" and the like in the description are only used to distinguish the components, elements, steps and the like in the description, and are not used to represent the logical relationship or sequence relationship between the components, elements, steps and the like.
[0050] In the present application, "proximal end" and "distal end" are the relative orientation, relative position and direction of elements or actions relative to each other from the perspective of a doctor using the medical device. Although "proximal end" and "distal end" are not restrictive, "proximal end" generally refers to the end of the medical device that is close to the doctor during normal operation, and "distal end" generally refers to the end that enters the patient's body first.
[0051] See Figure 1a The embodiments of the present application provide a vascular reconstruction device, which comprises a first braided wire 101, a second braided wire 102 and a third braided wire 103. The first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 are interwoven in different directions to form a tubular structure. The third braided wire 103 is arranged along the axial direction of the tubular structure and is fixedly connected with the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102, so as to limit the axial extension length of the tubular structure.
[0052] It can be understood that the vascular reconstruction device provided by the embodiments of the present application meets the basic radial support force and compliance requirements of the vascular reconstruction device. The tubular structure formed by the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 can contract or expand according to the implanted vascular diameter, and can maintain adhesion with the blood vessel. However, as described above, the braided vascular reconstruction device has good compliance, but the axial length change rate is large due to external force (such as being squeezed and contracted by blood pressure), which causes the doctor to have difficulty in determining the implantation length and area during actual implantation. The vascular reconstruction device provided by the embodiments of the present application introduces the third braided wire 103 on the basis of the tubular structure formed by the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102. The third braided wire 103 is fixedly connected with the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 along the axial direction of the tubular structure, so that the extension length of the tubular structure in the axial direction is limited by the third braided wire 103, and can only change within a relatively fixed extension length interval. Therefore, it is beneficial for the doctor to make a judgment during actual implantation.
[0053] The present application does not make specific restrictions on the organizational form of the tubular structure, for example, the tubular structure can be a plain weave formed by the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 in 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-3, etc., or other variations, which can be selected according to the radial support force and compliance required by different lesion areas.
[0054] In the present embodiment, preferably, the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 are interwoven around the same axis in opposite spiral directions to form a tubular structure, thereby making the vascular reconstruction device have a plurality of left-handed spiral structures and a plurality of right-handed spiral structures, and the spiral structures in the same spiral direction do not intersect each other. Although "left and right" are non-restrictive descriptions, it should be understood that "left and right" are relative to the central axis of the formed spiral structure, and left-handed and right-handed indicate two spiral directions opposite to the central axis rotation direction, in addition, left-handed and right-handed indicate the spiral direction of the braided wire from one end to the other end of the axial direction after the vascular reconstruction device is formed, and do not represent the path direction of the braided wire during the braiding process.
[0055] The wire diameters of the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 can be the same or different, for example, one of the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 can be a thin wire, and the other is a thick wire, so that the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 interwoven around the same axis in opposite spiral directions to form a tubular structure has good mechanical properties, large radial force, resistance to deformation, and at the same time has high compliance, which can expand the narrow part of the blood vessel.
[0056] During specific braiding, the first braided wire 101 can be used as a counterclockwise wire, the second braided wire 102 can be used as a clockwise wire, and the third braided wire 103 can be used as an axial direction wire, which are placed on the carrier of the braiding machine according to a certain rule, so that the counterclockwise wire and the clockwise wire are wound around each other in counterclockwise and clockwise directions respectively, and the axial direction wire can be passed out from the center hole of the carrier of the braiding machine, thereby forming an integrally braided and formed vascular reconstruction device. In addition, the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 can be fixed on the surface of the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 by heat melting, gluing and other methods after integrally braided and formed.
[0057] Specifically, the tubular structure provided by the embodiment has an outer diameter of 1 mm to 5 mm, the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 have a helix angle of 30° to 75°, the braiding density (the number of interlacing points of the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 within 1 inch) is 50 to 500, the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 have a diameter of 0.01 mm to 1 mm, and the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 have a number of 24 to 128, but the application is not limited thereto.
[0058] In the embodiment, the third braided wire 103 extends out of the tubular structure at least at the proximal end of the tubular structure, and the part of the third braided wire 103 extending out of the tubular structure is used for detachable connection with the pushing device. Thus, the introduction of the third braided wire 103 facilitates the connection between the blood vessel reconstruction device and the pushing device, and can be used to define the axial extension length of the tubular structure.
[0059] The researchers of the application prepared three kinds of blood vessel reconstruction device samples with the following structures:
[0060] (1) The blood vessel reconstruction device named BS-1 includes 12 first braided wires 101, 12 second braided wires 102, and 0 third braided wires 103;
[0061] (2) The blood vessel reconstruction device named BS-2 includes 12 first braided wires 101, 12 second braided wires 102, and 3 third braided wires 103;
[0062] (3) The blood vessel reconstruction device named BS-3 includes 12 first braided wires 101, 12 second braided wires 102, and 6 third braided wires 103.
[0063] The outer diameter of the above three kinds of blood vessel reconstruction device samples is 5 mm, the braiding density is 80, the wire diameter is 0.2 mm, and the length is 40 mm.
[0064] The axial dimensional stability is verified by using anti-parallel plate extrusion performance experiment and finite element calculation method. In the experimental part, the axial dimensional stability of the vascular reconstruction device is tested according to the anti-parallel plate extrusion performance test method in YY / T 0663.1-2016 "Cardiovascular implants - Intravascular endoprostheses - Part 2: Vascular stents". The test is carried out on an Instron 5543 universal material testing machine, using a compression clamp, the compression speed is 0.1 mm / s, the compression displacement is 50% of the sample outer diameter, and the length of the sample after compression to 50% of the outer diameter is measured. The results are as follows: the length of BS-1 after compression is 41.5 mm, the length of BS-2 after compression is 40.8 mm, and the length of BS-3 after compression is 40.2 mm. In the finite element calculation part, the vascular reconstruction device and the compression clamp model are established in the three-dimensional modeling software and imported into the finite element analysis software for numerical simulation calculation. The boundary conditions are set as follows: the freedom of the vascular reconstruction device is not limited; the compression direction of the compression clamp to the vascular reconstruction device is the sample radial direction, the compression speed is 0.1 mm / s, the compression displacement is 50% of the sample outer diameter, and the freedom in other directions is limited. The length of the sample after compression to 50% of the outer diameter is exported, and the results are as follows: the length of BS-1 after compression is 41.4 mm, the length of BS-2 after compression is 40.7 mm, and the length of BS-3 after compression is 40.3 mm, which is consistent with the results of the experimental part. With the introduction of the third braided wire 103, the equivalent stress of the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 is reduced, and the equivalent stress of the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 of BS-2 and BS-3 is reduced to 0.83 times and 0.79 times of BS-1 respectively. The stress is mainly concentrated in the third braided wire 103, which proves that the introduction of the third braided wire 103 can limit the axial deformation of the stent after stress and is beneficial to the doctor to judge the actual implant length.
[0065] In summary, by introducing the third braided wire 103 in the axial direction, the mutual sliding of the second braided wire 102 and the first braided wire 101 in the axial direction can be inhibited, the axial dimensional stability of the vascular reconstruction device can be improved, the doctor can select the appropriate length of the vascular reconstruction device according to the actual lesion area, and the introduction of the degradable material can eliminate the space-occupying effect and be completely absorbed in the body.
[0066] Preferably, the vascular reconstruction device 100 includes at least two third braided wires 103, which are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the tubular structure. In this way, the length variation rate of the vascular reconstruction device 100 at different positions during transportation can be reduced. Further preferably, the number of the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 is the same, and the number of the third braided wire 103 is not greater than the number of the first braided wire 101 or the second braided wire 102. Figure 1bAs shown in the middle, the first braided wire 101, the second braided wire 102, and the third braided wire 103 are equal in number, i.e., the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 are braided to form a 2-over-2 tubular structure, and the third braided wire 103 is fixed between the first braided wire 101 and the second braided wire 102 along the axial direction of the tubular structure, but the present application is not limited thereto.
[0067] In addition, preferably, the first braided wire 101, the second braided wire 102, and the third braided wire 103 are all made of degradable polymer material, including but not limited to: poly-lactide (PLA), poly-glycolide (PGA), poly-p-dioxanone (PPDO), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), silk fibroin wire, collagen protein wire, and copolymers, mixtures, etc. of the above-mentioned materials. The introduction of degradable materials can eliminate the space-occupying effect, so that the vascular reconstruction device 100 is completely absorbed in the body.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 2 , and in combination with Figures 5 to 7 , the present application also provides a pushing device 200 for pushing a vascular reconstruction device to a target position, which may be the vascular reconstruction device 100 provided by the present application, or other existing vascular reconstruction devices with a lumen. In the following description, the pushing device 200 is described in combination with the vascular reconstruction device 100 provided by the present application, but it should be understood that the present application is not limited thereto.
[0069] The pushing device 200 comprises a connecting structure, the distal end of the connecting structure is detachably connected with the vascular reconstruction device 100, when the pushing device 200 is partially accommodated in the lumen, the distal end of the connecting structure is connected with the vascular reconstruction device 100 under the action of the circumferential constraint force of the vascular reconstruction device 100, and when the pushing device 200 is separated from the lumen of the vascular reconstruction device 100, the distal end of the connecting structure is in a detachable state with the vascular reconstruction device 100 under the action of the circumferential constraint force of the vascular reconstruction device 100.
[0070] Specifically, the connecting structure has an open state and a compressed state, when the connecting structure is transported to the lumen of the vascular reconstruction device 100 from the compressed state and then switches to the open state, the connecting structure is under the action of the circumferential constraint force of the vascular reconstruction device 100, and when the connecting structure switches from the open state to the compressed state, the circumferential constraint force of the vascular reconstruction device 100 is removed.
[0071] In this embodiment, the connection structure may include a fixing member 201, at least two connecting rods 202, and a separation component 203 connected to the distal end of each connecting rod. The at least two connecting rods 202 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the fixing member 201. The separation component 203 is used to be detachably connected to the vascular reconstruction device 100, specifically, to be detachably connected to the third braided wire 103.
[0072] The connecting rod 202 can be made of a nickel-titanium alloy rod that has undergone heat memory treatment. The heat treatment process memorizes the corresponding dimensions to allow the vascular reconstruction device to fully adhere to the vessel wall. The heat treatment conditions can be: temperature 400℃~600℃, time 15min~120min. The connecting rod 202 can also be made of other materials that can be heat-treated to memorize corresponding dimensions; these will not be elaborated upon here.
[0073] The fixing member 201 and at least two connecting rods 202 can be integrally formed by cutting, or they can be fixed by welding, gluing, or other methods. The separation component 203 can be fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting rod 202 by heat shrink tubing.
[0074] In other embodiments, the connection structure may also employ other structures having an open state and a pressed state, such as an umbrella-shaped woven structure formed by woven metal wires, which will not be described in detail here.
[0075] In this embodiment, the pushing device 200 further includes a pushing rod 400, which is detachably connected to the connecting structure. Specifically, the pushing rod 400 is detachably connected to the fixing member 201. The pushing rod 400 pushes the vascular reconstruction device 100 to the target position by pushing the connecting structure.
[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the fixing member 201 has an inner diameter that matches the outer diameter of the push rod 400, so that it can be sleeved on the push rod 400 and further fixed to the surface of the push rod 400 by welding, gluing, or interference fit. In other embodiments, the fixing member 201 may be block-shaped, such as round or square, and fixed to the distal end of the push rod 400, specifically by welding, gluing, or other methods.
[0077] In this embodiment, the separation component includes a separation structure and a guide. The guide is used to connect with the vascular reconstruction device or guide the vascular reconstruction device to connect with the separation component. The separation component is used to disconnect the connection between the guide and the vascular reconstruction device or disconnect itself from the vascular reconstruction device.
[0078] Optionally, the separation structure comprises a physical separation structure or a mechanical separation structure. In addition, preferably, the guide is a radiopaque body for observing the release of the distal end of the vascular reconstruction device 100. The radiopaque body can be made of platinum, platinum-iridium alloy, platinum-tungsten alloy, gold, tantalum, tungsten, etc., preferably platinum-iridium alloy, and the guide has a through hole arranged along the axial direction for the third braided wire to pass through.
[0079] In an optional embodiment, the separation assembly is a thermal melting separation assembly, i.e., the separation structure is a physical separation structure of thermal melting separation, and the guide is a first guide 301.
[0080] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 The physical separation structure comprises a spiral-shaped resistance wire 302, the proximal end portion of the spiral-shaped resistance wire 302 is sleeved on the first guide 301, and the two are fixed by glue or welding. The third braided wire 103 is fixed on the surface of the spiral-shaped resistance wire 302 after passing through the through hole 3011 of the first guide 301, and the fixing mode can be knotting or glue bonding. The spiral-shaped resistance wire 302 is powered on to heat and melt the third braided wire 103, and the separation is completed.
[0081] As shown in Figure 4 The third braided wire 103 can also be fixed on the surface of the first guide 301 after passing through the through hole, and the fixing mode can be, for example, glue fixing, etc. The spiral-shaped resistance wire 302 is powered on to heat and melt the third braided wire 103, and the separation is completed.
[0082] When the separation assembly 203 is a thermal melting separation assembly, the working process of pushing the vascular reconstruction device 100 is as follows:
[0083] As shown in Figure 5 The connecting rod 202 is pressed and held to the surface of the pushing rod 400 and is withdrawn into the guide catheter 500 to complete the assembly. When the vascular reconstruction device 100 is pushed out of the guide catheter 500, since one end thereof is fixed with the connecting rod 202, there is no sudden unloading phenomenon in the guide catheter 500. As shown in Figure 6As shown, when the vascular reconstruction device 100 is gradually pushed out of the guide catheter 500 by the push rod 400, the connection vascular reconstruction device 100 proximal end and the connecting rod 202 gradually open to the memorized size due to the shape memory function, and in addition, the release of the vascular reconstruction device 100 distal end can be observed by the visualization body inside the separation assembly 203. If the placement position is not good, since the push rod 400 and the vascular reconstruction device 100 are fixedly connected, the push rod 400 can be gradually withdrawn, the connecting rod is compressed by the guide catheter 500 to drive the vascular reconstruction device 100 to be compressed and withdrawn into the guide catheter 500 and released again. As shown in the figure, Figure 7 As shown, after the release is completed, the additional voltage makes the resistance wire inside the separation assembly 203 heat and fuse the third braided wire 103 of the vascular reconstruction device 100 provided therein, and the separation is completed. Finally, the push rod 400 and the guide catheter 500 are withdrawn.
[0084] In another optional embodiment, the separation assembly adopts an electrically induced separation assembly, that is, the separation structure adopts an electrically induced separation physical separation structure, and at this time, the guide is a second guide 701.

After a voltage with opposite polarities is applied to the metal spiral 702 and the separation wire 703, the connection point of the separation wire 703 and the third braided wire 103 breaks.

When the degradable vascular reconstruction device 100 is gradually pushed out of the guide catheter 500 by the pushing rod 400, the connecting rod 202 and the connecting degradable vascular reconstruction device 100 gradually expand to the memorized size due to the shape memory function, and in addition, the release of the distal end of the vascular reconstruction device 100 can be observed through the radiopaque body at the distal end of the metal spiral 702.

[0097] When the vascular reconstruction device 100 is pushed out of the introduction sheath, since one end thereof is fixed with the connecting rod 202, there is no sudden unloading phenomenon in the guide catheter 500. When the degradable vascular reconstruction device 100 is gradually pushed out of the guide catheter 500 by the push rod 400, the connecting rod connecting the proximal end of the degradable vascular reconstruction device 100 and the distal end of the push rod 400 is gradually expanded to the memory size due to the shape memory function, and in addition, the release of the distal end of the vascular reconstruction device 100 can be observed by the developer. If the placement position is not good, since the push rod 400 and the vascular reconstruction device 100 are fixedly connected, the push rod 400 can be gradually withdrawn, the connecting rod is compressed by the guide catheter 500 to drive the vascular reconstruction device 100 to be compressed and withdrawn into the guide catheter 500 and then released again. After the release is completed, the balloon 803 is pressurized, the balloon 803 is expanded to cut the third braided wire 103 with the surface cutting member 804, and the separation is completed.
