Abstract

The application belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and more particularly relates to a ring shrink device. The ring shrink device comprises an anchoring part and an unlocking part. The anchoring part has an anchoring position which is expanded to be anchored in a blood vessel and a recovery position which can be recovered into a delivery catheter. The unlocking part is connected with the anchoring part and can drive the anchoring part to switch from the anchoring position to the recovery position. When the anchoring part needs to be recovered and repositioned, the unlocking part is pulled outwards to make the anchoring part switch from the anchoring position to the recovery position. At this time, the size of the anchoring part is close to the inner diameter of the delivery catheter, which greatly reduces the recovery resistance of the anchoring part to the recovery position in the delivery catheter, so that the anchoring part can be recovered into the delivery catheter very smoothly. The unlocking part in the application not only improves the recovery success rate of the anchoring part, but also reduces the operation cost and shortens the operation time.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and more particularly relates to a ring shrinkage device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The mitral valve is a part of the heart, located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Blood is pumped from the left atrium into the left ventricle, and when the left ventricle contracts to pump blood into the body, the mitral valve closes to prevent blood from being pumped back into the left atrium. In some patients, due to genetic deformities, diseases or injuries, etc., the mitral valve cannot close normally, commonly known as regurgitation, that is, blood is pumped into the atrium every time the myocardium contracts. Regurgitation reduces circulation efficiency and must be corrected.

[0003] Nowadays, minimally invasive interventional surgery is a better choice for most heart valve diseases, and the main interventional treatment methods include artificial chordae tendineae implantation, mitral annuloplasty and mitral valve edge-to-edge repair, etc. Among them, annuloplasty has two types of direct annuloplasty and indirect annuloplasty. Indirect annuloplasty mainly uses the blood vessel tissue around the mitral annulus to contract the mitral annulus to make the mitral leaflets close tightly. The coronary sinus-cardiac vein is mainly a blood vessel around the mitral annulus, which also makes it the best implantation object for indirect annuloplasty.

[0004] REFERENCE Figures 1 to 5 The device has two anchors, which are a distal anchor 10 and a proximal anchor 20. The distal anchor 10 and the proximal anchor 20 are connected together through a connecting rod 30. The distal anchor 10 includes a distal anchor body 11 and a distal sleeve 13, the distal anchor body 11 is wound on the connecting rod 30 to form a distal limiting ring 12, and the connecting rod 30 is formed with a distal limiting portion 31 on the side away from the distal sleeve 13 of the distal limiting ring 12; the proximal anchor 20 includes a proximal anchor body 21 and a proximal sleeve 23, the proximal anchor body 21 is wound on the connecting rod 30 to form a proximal limiting ring 22, and the connecting rod 30 is formed with a proximal limiting portion 32 on the side away from the proximal sleeve 23 of the proximal limiting ring 22.

[0005] The device is implanted in the coronary sinus-cardiac great vein blood vessel 1 through the neck vein into the body through the delivery catheter 40, and after the distal anchor body 11 is released from the delivery catheter 40, the delivery catheter 40 is used to push the distal limiting ring 12 into the distal limiting part 31 and the distal sleeve 13, the distal anchor body 11 expands the coronary sinus-cardiac great vein blood vessel 1, and is anchored in the coronary sinus-cardiac great vein blood vessel 1; then the delivery catheter 40 is withdrawn from the blood vessel to the outside, so as to drive the distal anchor 10 to move to the outside of the blood vessel, so that the mitral annulus 2 muscle tissue is tightened, and then the diameter of the mitral annulus 2 is indirectly reduced, at this time the delivery catheter 40 is withdrawn to release the proximal anchor body 21, and after the proximal anchor 20 is released, the proximal limiting ring 22 is pushed into the proximal sleeve 23 and the proximal limiting part 32 through the push rod 50, the proximal anchor body 21 expands to support the coronary sinus-cardiac great vein blood vessel 1, and is anchored in the coronary sinus-cardiac great vein blood vessel 1, and after the device is released, the diameter of the mitral annulus 2 is reduced, so that the mitral valve leaflet is tightly closed, and the mitral regurgitation is improved.

[0006] However, the distal anchor 10 and the proximal anchor 20 in the existing device can only be forcibly recovered through the delivery catheter 40 in the locked state, and the distal anchor 10 and the proximal anchor 20 in the locked state belong to a stable state. In order to put the expanded distal anchor 10 and the proximal anchor 20 into the delivery catheter 40 with a smaller diameter, the recovery resistance is large, and the delivery catheter 40 needs strong rigid support. If the rigidity of the delivery catheter 40 is not enough, the delivery catheter 40 is easy to bend, which easily leads to the failure of the device recovery. SUMMARY

[0052] With reference to Figure 6 The embodiments of the present application provide a ring shrink device, which comprises an anchoring part and an unlocking part 400. The anchoring part has an anchoring position expanded to be anchored in a blood vessel and a recovery position capable of being recovered into a delivery catheter 700. The unlocking part 400 is connected with the anchoring part, and the unlocking part 400 can drive the anchoring part to switch from the anchoring position to the recovery position.

[0053] In the embodiments of the present application, the ring shrink device further comprises a delivery catheter 700, and the anchoring part is always located in the delivery catheter 700 before being expanded to be anchored in the blood vessel.

[0054] In specific applications, when the anchoring part needs to be recovered and repositioned, the unlocking part 400 is pulled outwards to make the anchoring part switch from the anchoring position to the recovery position. At this time, the size of the anchoring part is close to the inner diameter of the delivery catheter 700, which greatly reduces the recovery resistance of the anchoring part recovered into the delivery catheter 700, so that the anchoring part can be recovered into the delivery catheter 700 very smoothly. The unlocking part 400 in the present application not only improves the recovery success rate of the anchoring part, but also reduces the operation cost and shortens the operation time.

[0055] With reference to Figures 6 to 9, the anchoring part comprises a distal anchor 100 and a proximal anchor 200, the proximal anchor 200 is located on a first side of the distal anchor 100. The distal anchor 100 comprises a distal anchor body 110, the distal anchor body 110 has a first expanded position capable of expanding to anchor in a blood vessel, and a first contracted position capable of being deformed and contracted; the unlocking part 400 can drive the distal anchor body 110 to switch from the first expanded position to the first contracted position. The proximal anchor 200 comprises a proximal anchor body 210, the proximal anchor body 210 has a second expanded position capable of expanding to anchor in a blood vessel, and a second contracted position capable of being deformed and contracted; the unlocking part 400 can drive the proximal anchor body 210 to switch from the second expanded position to the second contracted position.

[0056] When the distal anchor body 110 is in the first expanded position, and the proximal anchor body 210 is in the second expanded position, the anchoring part is in the anchoring position; when the distal anchor body 110 is in the first contracted position, and the proximal anchor body 210 is in the second contracted position, the anchoring part is in the recovery position.

[0057] Referring to Figures 6 to 9 In the embodiment of the present application, the ring shrinking device further comprises a locking wire 500, a push rod 600 and a delivery handle, wherein the push rod 600 is located on a side of the proximal anchor body 210 away from the distal anchor body 110, both ends of the push rod 600 are open and hollow inside, the delivery handle is arranged at an end of the push rod 600 away from the anchoring part and is connected with the push rod 600; the locking wire 500 is arranged between the anchoring part and the push rod 600, a first end of the locking wire 500 is connected with the anchoring part, a second end of the locking wire 500 penetrates into the push rod 600 and is fixedly connected with the delivery handle. The distal anchor body 110 and the proximal anchor body 210 are both made of nickel-titanium alloy, of course, in other examples, the distal anchor body 110 and the proximal anchor body 210 can also be made of other materials capable of being deformed. The first side of the distal anchor 100 refers to the position of one side of the distal anchor 100.

[0058] In a specific application, the anchoring part is introduced into the body through the delivery catheter 700 from the jugular vein, implanted in the coronary sinus - great cardiac vein, and after the distal anchor body 110 is released from the delivery catheter 700, the distal anchor body 110 is switched from the first contracted position to the first expanded position by the delivery catheter 700, the distal anchor body 110 is expanded to support the blood vessel, and is anchored in the great cardiac vein. Then the delivery catheter 700 is withdrawn from the blood vessel to the outside to drive the distal anchor body 110 to move outwardly of the blood vessel, thereby tightening the muscle tissue of the mitral annulus, and indirectly reducing the diameter of the annulus. At this time, the delivery catheter 700 is withdrawn to release the proximal anchor body 210, and after the proximal anchor body 210 is released, the proximal anchor body 210 is switched from the second contracted position to the second expanded position by the push rod 600 driven by the delivery handle, the proximal anchor body 210 is expanded to support the blood vessel, and is anchored in the coronary sinus. After the annulus shrinking device is released, the diameter of the annulus is reduced, thereby making the mitral valve leaflets close tightly and improving the mitral regurgitation.

[0059] When the anchoring part needs to be retrieved and repositioned, the unlocking part 400 drives the distal anchor body 110 to switch from the first expanded position to the first contracted position, and at the same time, the unlocking part 400 drives the proximal anchor body 210 to switch from the second expanded position to the second contracted position. At this time, the size of the distal anchor body 110 and the size of the proximal anchor body 210 are similar to the inner diameter of the delivery catheter 700, greatly reducing the resistance to recovery, so that the distal anchor body 110 and the proximal anchor body 210 can be smoothly retrieved into the delivery catheter 700.

[0060] Referring to Figure 6 , the anchoring part further comprises a connecting piece 300, which is arranged between the distal anchor 100 and the proximal anchor 200 and connected with the distal anchor 100 and the proximal anchor 200 respectively.

[0061] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the distal anchor body 110 is wound on the connecting piece 300 to form a distal limiting ring 120, the connecting piece 300 is formed with a distal limiting part 310 on the side of the distal limiting ring 120 close to the proximal anchor 200, and the distal limiting ring 120 is limited on the side of the distal limiting part 310 away from the proximal anchor 200, at this time, the distal anchor body 110 is in the first expanded position; the distal limiting ring 120 is slidably installed on the connecting piece 300, and the unlocking part 400 can drive the distal limiting ring 120 to pass through the distal limiting part 310 along the length direction of the connecting piece 300, so as to switch the distal anchor body 110 from the first expanded position to the first contracted position.

[0062] Referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10The proximal end anchor body 210 is wound on the connecting piece 300 to form a proximal end limiting ring 220, the connecting piece 300 is formed with a proximal end limiting portion 320 on the side away from the distal end anchor 100 of the proximal end limiting ring 220, the proximal end limiting ring 220 is limited on the side close to the distal end anchor 100 of the proximal end limiting portion 320, at this time, the proximal end anchor body 210 is in the second expansion position; the proximal end limiting ring 220 is slidably installed on the connecting piece 300, the unlocking portion 400 can drive the proximal end limiting ring 220 to pass through the proximal end limiting portion 320 along the length direction of the connecting piece 300, so that the proximal end anchor body 210 is switched from the second expansion position to the second contraction position.

[0063] In the embodiment of the application, the connecting piece 300 is made of nickel-titanium alloy, of course, in other examples, the connecting piece 300 can also be made of other materials capable of being deformed. Specifically, the connecting piece 300 is two connecting rods, the distal end limiting portion 310 is a protruding structure formed in the direction away from each other of the two connecting rods, similar to a vase in shape; the proximal end limiting portion 320 is also a protruding structure formed in the direction away from each other of the two connecting rods, similar to an arrow in shape, of course, in other examples, the distal end limiting portion 310 and the proximal end limiting portion 320 can also be protruding structures of other shapes. The distal end limiting portion 310 and the proximal end limiting portion 320 can be deformed, so that the distal end limiting ring 120 and the proximal end limiting ring 220 pass through the distal end limiting portion 310 and the proximal end limiting portion 320 respectively. The distal end limiting ring 120 and the proximal end limiting ring 220 are wound for two turns, of course, in other examples, the distal end limiting ring 120 and the proximal end limiting ring 220 can also be wound for one turn, three turns or other number of turns.

[0064] In a specific application, the distal anchor body 110 is released from the delivery catheter 700, at this time the distal retaining ring 120 is located on the side of the distal retaining portion 310 away from the distal anchor body 110, and the distal anchor body 110 is in the first contracted position. Then the distal retaining ring 120 is pushed into the distal retaining portion 310 by the delivery catheter 700 to the side close to the distal anchor body 110, so as to limit the distal retaining ring 120. Then the distal anchor body 110 expands to support the blood vessel and is anchored at the great cardiac vein, at this time the distal anchor body 110 is in the first expanded position. Then the delivery catheter 700 is withdrawn from the blood vessel to the outside, so as to drive the distal anchor body 110 to move to the outside of the blood vessel, so as to make the mitral annulus muscle tissue contract, and then indirectly reduce the diameter of the annulus. Finally, the delivery catheter 700 is withdrawn to release the proximal anchor body 210, at this time the proximal retaining ring 220 is located on the side of the proximal retaining portion 320 away from the proximal anchor body 210, and the proximal anchor body 210 is in the second contracted position. Then the proximal retaining ring 220 is pushed into the proximal retaining portion 320 by the push rod 600 to the side close to the proximal anchor body 210, so as to limit the proximal retaining ring 220. Then the proximal anchor body 210 expands to support the blood vessel and is anchored at the coronary sinus, at this time the proximal anchor body 210 is in the second expanded position. After the ring shrinking device is released, the diameter of the annulus is reduced, so as to make the mitral valve leaflet close tightly and improve the mitral regurgitation.

[0065] When the anchor portion needs to be retrieved and repositioned, the unlocking portion 400 drives the distal retaining ring 120 to slide along the length direction of the connecting member 300 from the side of the distal retaining portion 310 close to the distal anchor body 110 to the side of the distal retaining portion 310 away from the distal anchor body 110, so as to switch the distal anchor body 110 from the first expanded position to the first contracted position. Then the unlocking portion 400 drives the proximal retaining ring 220 to slide from the side of the proximal retaining portion 320 close to the proximal anchor body 210 to the side of the proximal retaining portion 320 away from the proximal anchor body 210, so as to switch the proximal anchor body 210 from the second expanded position to the second contracted position. At this time, the size of the distal anchor body 110 and the size of the proximal anchor body 210 are approximately similar to the inner diameter of the delivery catheter 700, so as to facilitate the smooth retrieval of the distal anchor body 110 and the proximal anchor body 210 into the delivery catheter 700.

[0066] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 9 , the distal anchor 100 further comprises a distal sleeve 130, one end of the distal sleeve 130 away from the proximal anchor 200 is a first end, and the two ends of the distal anchor body 110 can pass into the distal sleeve 130 from the first end of the distal sleeve 130 and be connected with the distal sleeve 130. The proximal anchor 200 further comprises a proximal sleeve 230, one end of the proximal sleeve 230 close to the distal anchor 100 is a first end, and the two ends of the proximal anchor body 210 can pass into the proximal sleeve 230 and be connected with the proximal sleeve 230.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the two ends of the distal anchor body 110 are fixedly connected with the inner wall of the distal sleeve 130 by welding, and the two ends of the proximal anchor body 210 are fixedly connected with the inner wall of the proximal sleeve 230 by welding. Of course, in other examples, the fixed connection can also be achieved by press riveting.

[0068] The distal limiting ring 120 and the distal limiting portion 310 are located on one side of the second end of the distal sleeve 130, and the proximal limiting ring 220 and the proximal limiting portion 320 are located on one side of the second end of the proximal sleeve 230.

[0069] The first end of the connecting piece 300 passes through the proximal sleeve 230 and penetrates into the distal sleeve 130, and is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the distal sleeve 130, and the second end of the connecting piece 300 forms the proximal limiting portion 320.

[0070] The distal anchor body 110 includes a first body segment, a second body segment and a first intermediate segment. The end of the first body segment is the end of the distal anchor body 110, the second body segment is formed with the distal limiting ring 120 on the connecting piece 300, and the first intermediate segment is located between the first body segment and the second body segment and is wound in a threaded shape. Specifically, when the distal anchor body 110 is in the first expanded position, the distance between the first body segment and the second body segment decreases, the distance between the first intermediate segment and the distal sleeve 130 increases, and at this time the distal limiting ring 120 is located between the distal sleeve 130 and the distal limiting portion 310; when the distal anchor body 110 is in the first contracted position, the distance between the first body segment and the second body segment increases, the distance between the first intermediate segment and the distal sleeve 130 decreases, and at this time the distal limiting ring 120 is located on the side of the distal limiting portion 310 away from the distal sleeve 130.

[0071] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 9 The proximal anchor body 210 includes a third body segment, a fourth body segment and a second intermediate segment. The end of the third body segment is the end of the proximal anchor body 210, the second body segment is formed with the proximal limiting ring 220 on the connecting piece 300, and the second intermediate segment is located between the third body segment and the fourth body segment and is wound in a threaded shape. Specifically, when the proximal anchor body 210 is in the second expanded position, the distance between the third body segment and the fourth body segment decreases, the distance between the second intermediate segment and the proximal sleeve 230 increases, and at this time the proximal limiting ring 220 is located between the proximal sleeve 230 and the proximal limiting portion 320; when the proximal anchor body 210 is in the second contracted position, the distance between the third body segment and the fourth body segment increases, the distance between the second intermediate segment and the proximal sleeve 230 decreases, and at this time the proximal limiting ring 220 is located on the side of the proximal limiting portion 320 away from the proximal sleeve 230.

[0072] With reference to Figures 6 to 10 The unlocking part 400 comprises a distal traction part 410, a proximal traction part 420 and a guide 430. The distal traction part 410 is located on the side of the distal limiting ring 120 away from the distal limiting part 310. The guide 430 is arranged through the distal limiting ring 120 and the distal traction part 410. The distal traction part 410 can move along the extension direction of the guide 430. The distal traction part 410 can pull the distal limiting ring 120 to pass through the distal limiting part 310 along the length direction of the connecting part 300. The proximal traction part 420 is located on the side of the proximal limiting ring 220 away from the proximal limiting part 320. The guide 430 is arranged through the proximal limiting ring 220 and the proximal traction part 420. The proximal traction part 420 can move along the extension direction of the guide 430. The proximal traction part 420 can pull the proximal limiting ring 220 to pass through the proximal limiting part 320 along the length direction of the connecting part 300.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the guide 430 is made of a deformable material.

[0074] In a specific application, when the anchoring part needs to be retrieved and repositioned, the distal traction part 410 is pulled outwards. With the movement of the distal traction part 410 along the length direction of the guide 430, the distal traction part 410 will come into contact with the distal limiting ring 120. The distal traction part 410 is continuously pulled outwards. At this time, the distal traction part 410 will pull the distal limiting ring 120 to pass through the distal limiting part 310 along the length direction of the connecting part 300, so that the distal anchor body 110 is switched from the first expanded position to the first contracted position.

[0075] At the same time, the proximal traction part 420 is pulled outwards. With the movement of the proximal traction part 420 along the extension direction of the guide 430, the proximal traction part 420 will come into contact with the proximal limiting ring 220. The proximal traction part 420 is continuously pulled outwards. At this time, the proximal traction part 420 will pull the proximal limiting ring 220 to pass through the proximal limiting part 320 along the length direction of the connecting part, so that the proximal anchor body 210 is switched from the second expanded position to the second contracted position.

[0076] When the anchoring part is switched from the anchoring position to the retrieval position, the guide 430 is first pulled outwards, then the distal traction part 410 and the proximal traction part 420 are pulled outwards, and finally the delivery handle and the push rod 600 are pulled outwards. At this time, the locking wire 500 will be pulled out of the proximal sleeve 230, so that only the anchoring part remains in the blood vessel.

[0077] The guide 430 is arranged to not only guide the distal traction part 410 and the proximal traction part 420, but also connect the distal limiting ring 120 and the distal traction part 410 and the proximal limiting ring 220 and the proximal traction part 420 together, so as to drive the distal limiting ring 120 to move by the distal traction part 410 and drive the proximal limiting ring 220 to move by the proximal traction part 420.

[0078] In one embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the distal traction part 410 is a distal traction member 411, and the distal traction member 411 is formed with a distal traction ring 412, the distal traction ring 412 is located on the side of the distal limiting ring 120 away from the distal limiting part 310, and the guide 430 passes through the distal traction ring 412.

[0079] In the embodiment, the distal traction member 411 can be a single traction rope or a traction rod made of nickel-titanium alloy, stainless steel, multi-strand wire or the like, and can also be a single braided rope.

[0080] In specific applications, when the anchoring part needs to be recovered and repositioned, the distal limiting ring 120 is located between the distal sleeve 130 and the distal limiting part 310, and the distal traction member 411 moves away from the distal anchor body 110, in the process of moving, the distal traction ring 412 will touch the distal limiting ring 120, and with the continuous movement of the distal traction member 411, the distal limiting ring 120 will switch from the first expanded position to the first contracted position.

[0081] In one embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the proximal traction part 420 is a proximal traction member 421, and the proximal traction member 421 is formed with a proximal traction ring 422, the proximal traction ring 422 is located on the side of the proximal limiting ring 220 away from the proximal limiting part 320, and the guide 430 passes through the proximal traction ring 422.

[0082] In the embodiment, the proximal traction member 421 can be a single traction rope or a traction rod made of nickel-titanium alloy, stainless steel, multi-strand wire or the like, and can also be a single braided rope.

[0083] In specific applications, when the anchoring part needs to be recovered and repositioned, the proximal limiting ring 220 is located between the proximal sleeve 230 and the proximal limiting part 320, and the proximal traction member 421 moves away from the proximal anchor body 210, in the process of moving, the proximal traction ring 422 will touch the proximal limiting ring 220, and with the continuous movement of the proximal traction member 421, the proximal limiting ring 220 will switch from the second expanded position to the second contracted position.

[0084] The single remote traction member 411 and the single proximal traction member 421 can avoid the mutual entanglement of the traction members during the delivery of the ring shrink device into the blood vessel, so as to affect the normal development of the unlocking operation.

[0085] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 11 The proximal traction member 420 is a single rope, which is folded to form two proximal traction ropes 423. The junction of the two proximal traction ropes 423 is located on the side of the proximal limiting ring 220 away from the proximal limiting portion 320, and is arranged on the guide member 430 to pull the proximal limiting ring 220 to pass through the proximal limiting portion 320 along the length direction of the connecting member 300.

[0086] In the present embodiment, the single rope can be made of nickel-titanium alloy, stainless steel, multi-strand wire, etc. In specific applications, when the anchoring portion needs to be retrieved and repositioned, the proximal limiting ring 220 is located between the proximal sleeve 230 and the proximal limiting portion 320, and the two proximal traction ropes 423 move away from the proximal anchor body 210. During the movement, the junction of the two proximal traction ropes 423 will touch the proximal limiting ring 220, and with the continuous movement of the two proximal traction ropes 423, the proximal limiting ring 220 will switch from the second expanded position to the second contracted position.

[0087] In another embodiment of the present application, the remote traction member 410 is a single rope, which is folded to form two remote traction ropes. The junction of the two remote traction ropes is located on the side of the remote limiting ring 120 away from the remote limiting portion 310, and is arranged on the guide member 430 to pull the remote limiting ring 120 to pass through the remote limiting portion 310 along the length direction of the connecting member 300.

[0088] In the present embodiment, the single rope can be made of nickel-titanium alloy, stainless steel, multi-strand wire, etc. In specific applications, when the anchoring portion needs to be retrieved and repositioned, the remote limiting ring 120 is located between the remote sleeve 130 and the remote limiting portion 310, and the two remote traction ropes move away from the remote anchor body 110. During the movement, the junction of the two remote traction ropes will touch the remote limiting ring 120, and with the continuous movement of the two remote traction ropes, the remote limiting ring 120 will switch from the first expanded position to the first contracted position.

[0089] As a preferred mode of the present application, the end of the remote traction member 411 away from the remote traction ring 412 and the end of the proximal traction member 421 away from the proximal traction ring 422 are knotted to form a closed loop, so as to facilitate the movement of the remote traction member 411 and the proximal traction member 421.

[0090] In one embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 12 The unlocking unit 400 includes a distal traction rope 414 and a proximal traction rope. The first end of the distal traction rope 414 passes through the distal limiting ring 120 away from the distal limiting part 310 and extends in a direction away from the distal limiting part 310. The second end of the distal traction rope 414 extends in a direction away from the distal limiting part 310. The first end of the proximal traction rope passes through the proximal limiting ring 220 away from the proximal limiting part 320 and extends in a direction away from the proximal limiting part 320. The second end of the proximal traction rope extends in a direction away from the proximal limiting part 320.

[0091] In practical applications, when the anchoring part needs to be retrieved and repositioned, the two ends of the traction rope 414 move away from the far-end anchor body 110 towards the far-end limiting part 310, thereby causing the far-end limiting ring 120 to pass through the far-end limiting part 310, so that the far-end anchor body 110 switches from the first expanded position to the first contracted position. At the same time, the two ends of the traction rope move away from the near-end anchor body 210 towards the near-end limiting part 320, thereby causing the near-end limiting ring 220 to pass through the near-end limiting part 320, so that the near-end anchor body 210 switches from the second expanded position to the second contracted position.

[0092] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the presence of two ropes, such as the distal pull rope and the proximal pull rope 423, can be intertwined to form a braid shape, and only a closed loop needs to be left at the junction.

[0093] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the presence of a distal pull cord and a proximal pull cord 423, which can be divided into two strands, can also combine the two strands of the cord into the heat shrink tubing, requiring only a closed loop at the junction.

[0094] Reference Figure 7 A distal notch 131 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the second end of the distal sleeve 130, and the first end of the guide member 430 passes through the distal notch 131 into the distal sleeve 130.

[0095] In practical applications, the first end of the guide 430 is directly inserted into the distal cannula 130 through the distal notch 131, and is fixed in the distal cannula 130 by its own bending deformation and friction with the inner wall of the distal cannula 130. This prevents the guide 430 from being pulled out of the blood vessel and puncturing the blood vessel during the implantation and delivery process of the annular device, thus ensuring the normal progress of the implantation operation.

[0096] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 7 andFigure 13 The outer circumferential surface of the distal sleeve 130 is provided with a displacement part, a first end of the displacement part is communicated with the distal opening 131, and a second end of the displacement part extends to the end surface of the second end of the distal sleeve 130. The guide part 430 is placed in the displacement part and passes into the distal sleeve 130 through the distal opening 131.

[0097] The displacement part can be a displacement hole, a displacement groove or a displacement plane. In the embodiment of the present application, the displacement part is a displacement plane. Specifically, the displacement plane is a flat plane, which can be processed by mechanical processing or by flattening under pressure.

[0098] In a specific application, the first end of the guide part 430 is placed on the displacement part and passes into the distal sleeve 130 through the distal opening 131. The displacement part is arranged to keep the guide part 430 as horizontal as possible during the process of passing into the distal sleeve 130. On the one hand, this achieves the purpose of limiting the first end of the guide part 430 within the distal sleeve 130. On the other hand, this also reduces the friction between the guide part 430 and the inner wall of the distal sleeve 130, thereby facilitating the guide part 430 to be pulled out of the distal sleeve 130 more smoothly after unlocking.

[0099] Referring to Figure 14 The distal sleeve 130 is provided with a fixing part 140, and the guide part 430 is threadedly connected with the fixing part 140.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, the fixing part 140 is a fixing tube, the inner wall of the fixing tube is provided with internal threads, and the outer circumferential surface of the first end of the guide part 430 is provided with external threads to fix the end of the first end of the guide part 430. Specifically, the fixing part 140 is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the distal sleeve 130 or the inside of the distal sleeve 130 by mechanical processing. Of course, in other examples, the fixing part 140 can also be fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the distal sleeve 130 or the inside of the distal sleeve 130 by welding.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, the distal limiting ring 120 includes a distal limiting ring body and a distal auxiliary ring. The distal auxiliary ring is arranged on one side of the distal limiting ring body and is connected with the distal auxiliary ring. The guide part 430 passes through the distal auxiliary ring.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, the distal auxiliary ring is fixedly connected to the distal limiting ring body by mechanical processing. Of course, in other examples, the distal auxiliary ring can also be fixedly connected to the distal limiting ring body by welding.

[0103] In a specific application, the first end of the guide member 430 passes through the distal auxiliary ring, and then passes into the distal sleeve 130 through the distal opening 131, or is directly screwed into the fixing member 140. The distal auxiliary ring is arranged to limit the guide member 430, so as to avoid displacement, folding and arching of the guide member 430 when the anchoring part is released into the blood vessel and the anchoring part is recovered, and to ensure normal development of the anchoring operation and the recovery operation of the anchoring part.

[0104] With reference to Figure 10 and Figure 15 , the proximal limiting ring 220 is formed with a first through hole 221 and a second through hole 222, the connecting member 300 passes through the first through hole 221 and the second through hole 222 and passes into the proximal sleeve 230, and the guide member 430 passes through the second through hole 222 and is located outside the proximal sleeve 230.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present application, the proximal limiting ring 220 has two limiting rings, the cross-sectional area of the inner ring of the limiting ring close to the proximal anchor body 210 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the inner ring of the limiting ring away from the proximal anchor body 210. Of course, in other examples, the cross-sectional area of the inner ring of the limiting ring close to the proximal anchor body 210 can be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the inner ring of the limiting ring away from the proximal anchor body 210, as long as the cross-sectional areas of the inner rings of the two limiting rings are different. The above design avoids the mutual entanglement of the guide member 430 and the connecting member 300, which affects the normal development of the unlocking operation.

[0106] As a preferred mode of the embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 9 , the connecting member 300 is a connecting rod, and the connecting rod is formed with a winding limiting portion 330, and the guide member 430 passes through the winding limiting portion 330.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, the winding limiting portion 330 can be spiral-shaped or square-shaped, and the shape of the winding limiting portion 330 only needs to be able to limit the guide member 430. The winding limiting portion 330 is arranged to limit the guide member 430, so as to avoid displacement, folding and arching of the guide member 430 when the anchoring part is released into the blood vessel and the anchoring part is recovered, and to ensure normal development of the anchoring operation and the recovery operation of the anchoring part.

[0108] In one embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 16The outer circumferential surface of the first end of the proximal sleeve 230 is provided with a proximal opening 231, the guide member 430 penetrates into the proximal sleeve 230 from the proximal opening 231 and penetrates out of the first end of the proximal sleeve 230 towards the distal sleeve 130, and the two ends of the proximal anchor body 210 penetrate into the proximal sleeve 230 from the proximal opening 231 and are connected with the proximal sleeve 230. The above design achieves the limitation of the guide member 430, avoids the displacement, folding and arching of the guide member 430 when the anchor is released into the blood vessel and the anchor is recovered, and ensures the normal development of the anchoring operation and the recovery operation of the anchor.

[0109] In another embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 17 The proximal anchor 200 further comprises a limiting tube 240, the limiting tube 240 is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the proximal sleeve 230, and the guide member 430 penetrates through the limiting tube 240. Specifically, the limiting tube 240 is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the proximal sleeve 230. The above design achieves the limitation of the guide member 430.

[0110] In another embodiment of the present application, the proximal anchor 200 further comprises a limiting tube 240, the limiting tube 240 is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the proximal sleeve 230, and the guide member 430 penetrates through the limiting tube 240. Meanwhile, the outer circumferential surface of the first end of the proximal sleeve 230 is provided with a proximal opening 231, the guide member 430 penetrates into the proximal sleeve 230 from the proximal opening 231 and penetrates out of the first end of the proximal sleeve 230 towards the distal sleeve 130, and the two ends of the proximal anchor body 210 penetrate into the proximal sleeve 230 from the proximal opening 231 and are connected with the proximal sleeve 230. In a specific application, the first end of the guide member 430 first penetrates through the limiting tube 240, then penetrates into the proximal sleeve 230 through the proximal opening 231 and penetrates out of the first end of the proximal sleeve 230. The above design also achieves the limitation of the guide member 430.

[0111] As a preferred mode of the present application, the connecting member 300 is two connecting rods, one of the two connecting rods is provided with a winding limiting portion 330, and the guide member 430 penetrates through the winding limiting portion 330.

[0112] In the present application, the winding limiting portion 330 can be spiral-shaped or square-shaped, and the shape of the winding limiting portion 330 only needs to be capable of limiting the guide member 430. The winding limiting portion 330 achieves the limitation of the guide member 430, avoids the displacement, folding and arching of the guide member 430 when the anchor is released into the blood vessel and the anchor is recovered, and ensures the normal development of the anchoring operation and the recovery operation of the anchor.

[0113] As a preferred mode of the present application, referring to Figure 18The proximal limiting ring 220 comprises a proximal limiting ring body 223 and a proximal auxiliary ring 224. The proximal auxiliary ring 224 is arranged on one side of the proximal limiting ring body 223 and is connected with the proximal limiting ring body 223. The proximal auxiliary ring 224 forms the second through hole 222, and the guide member 430 passes through the proximal auxiliary ring 224.

[0114] In the embodiment of the application, the proximal auxiliary ring 224 is fixedly connected to the proximal limiting ring body 223 in a machining manner. Of course, in other examples, the proximal auxiliary ring 224 can also be fixedly connected to the proximal limiting ring body 223 in a welding manner.

[0115] In a specific application, the first end of the guide member 430 passes through the proximal auxiliary ring 224, then passes through the outside of the proximal sleeve 230, or passes into the proximal sleeve 230 through the proximal opening 231 and outwardly passes out of the first end of the proximal sleeve 230, or passes into the limiting tube 240 and extends in the direction close to the distal anchor 100. The proximal auxiliary ring 224 arranged plays a role of limiting the guide member 430, avoiding the displacement, folding and arching of the guide member 430 when the anchoring part is released into the blood vessel and the anchoring part is recovered, and ensuring the normal development of the anchoring operation and the recovery operation of the anchoring part.

[0116] In a specific embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 6 The ring shrinking device comprises an anchoring part, an unlocking part 400 and a delivery catheter 700. The anchoring part has an anchoring position expanded to be anchored in a blood vessel and a recovery position capable of being recovered into the delivery catheter 700. The unlocking part 400 is connected with the anchoring part and can drive the anchoring part to switch from the anchoring position to the recovery position. The anchoring part is always in the delivery catheter 700 before being expanded to be anchored in the blood vessel, and the unlocking part 400 is also in the delivery catheter 700.

[0117] Referring to Figures 6 to 9 The anchoring part comprises a distal anchor 100, a proximal anchor 200 and a connecting member 300. The proximal anchor 200 is located on one side of the distal anchor 100. The distal anchor 100 comprises a distal anchor body 110. The distal anchor body 110 has a first expanded position capable of being expanded to be anchored in a blood vessel and a first contracted position capable of being deformed and contracted. The unlocking part 400 can drive the distal anchor body 110 to switch from the first expanded position to the first contracted position. The proximal anchor 200 comprises a proximal anchor body 210. The proximal anchor body 210 has a second expanded position capable of being expanded to be anchored in a blood vessel and a second contracted position capable of being deformed and contracted. The unlocking part 400 can drive the proximal anchor body 210 to switch from the second expanded position to the second contracted position.

[0118] When the distal anchor body 110 is in the first expanded position and the proximal anchor body 210 is in the second expanded position, the anchoring part is in the anchoring position; when the distal anchor body 110 is in the first contracted position and the proximal anchor body 210 is in the second contracted position, the anchoring part is in the recovery position.
