AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing annulus annuloplasty rings are difficult to precisely adjust in size during mitral valve repair, leading to potential adverse repair outcomes such as residual regurgitation, insufficient occlusive length, and high pressure gradients. Furthermore, they require return to cardiopulmonary bypass, increasing surgical risks.

Method used

Employing an adjustable 3D ring core and delivery system, the anterior-posterior diameter of the annulusop ring is adjusted postoperatively via a malleable metal core and shape adjustment mechanism. Precise adjustment is achieved after extracorporeal circulation using cables and a housing device, avoiding negative outcomes.

Benefits of technology

This technique enables precise adjustment of the annulusoplasty ring after cardiopulmonary bypass, reducing adverse repair consequences, avoiding the need to return to cardiopulmonary bypass, and improving the safety and effectiveness of the surgery.

Abstract

用于修复二尖瓣和三尖瓣的瓣环成形术环,所述瓣环成形术环经安装后可以进行形状调节,以精调形状并校正固有不精确的尺寸设定过程中的小误差。所述环具有展性金属的可调节3D环芯,所述可调节3D环芯可以在患者被切断非体外循环之前或之后,在程序中通过将简单的位移施加到线缆与壳体设备而实时地重新成形。瓣环成形术环的形状被逐步递增地调节,直到实现最优水平的反流减少。一旦医师对结果满意,递送系统就可容易地与植入物分离并移除。所述芯的厚度可以是连续可变的,以控制如何发生变形以及哪里发生变形。所述环还可结合扩张接头,以使得能够进行后续的环中瓣程序。
