Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of left atrial appendage occluder, in particular to a left atrial appendage occluder closing device and closing method. BACKGROUND

[0002] After the left atrial appendage occluder completes heat treatment and shaping, the end of the support rod needs to be closed and welded in order to add a covering layer and assemble it later. However, due to the complex structure and small shape of the left atrial appendage occluder, the number of support rods is large, and it is difficult to uniformly close the end of the left atrial appendage occluder. In addition, the uniformity of the closing cannot be guaranteed. If the left atrial appendage occluder is not closed well, it will bring many problems. First, poor closing may affect the mechanical properties of the occluder, such as wear resistance, tensile strength and bending performance, which may affect the stability and durability of the occluder. Second, poor closing may cause incomplete occlusion of the occluder, leading to blood leakage from the closed part, causing bleeding, arrhythmia and other complications. In addition, poor closing may also cause bubbles to form inside the occluder, affecting the occlusion effect of the occluder, and even causing thrombosis, cerebral embolism and other serious complications. Finally, poor closing may also cause other complications. Therefore, the closing quality is particularly important for the left atrial appendage occluder.

[0003] The end of the existing left atrial appendage occluder is closed by using a closing tool to position and fix the end of the support rod in the closing tool. The fixing and arrangement of the support rod determines the size of the closing tool. Before the occluder is released, the support rod can be retracted, but the size of the closing tool remains unchanged. Therefore, the diameter of the delivery catheter is limited by the size of the closing tool, resulting in the problem that the delivery cannot be smoothly performed due to the excessive diameter of the tool in the actual operation process.

[0016] Beneficial effects: the left atrial appendage occluder structure and the occluder closing device provided by the application have the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In this invention, the second engaging portions of adjacent slots on the positioning ring are staggered along the axial direction of the positioning ring, and the end of the support rod of the left atrial appendage occluder is set to a shape consistent with the slot. This reduces the circumferential space occupied when the support rod is contracted at the proximal end, thereby reducing the diameter of the positioning ring when the left atrial appendage occluder of the same specification is contracted. This achieves the purpose of reducing the overall size of the occluder in the contracted state, so that it can meet the size requirements of small-diameter delivery pipes and improve the application performance of the left atrial appendage occluder.

[0018] 2. The second snap-fit ​​portion of the present invention extends along the first snap-fit ​​portion in a direction perpendicular to the support rod body, which can ensure sufficient axial fixing strength for the support rod. At the same time, the overall length of the support rod of the left atrial appendage occluder can be kept uniform. Through the cooperation between the support rod and the slot, the uniformity of the occluder's closing after assembly is improved, and the closing quality is guaranteed.

[0019] 3. This invention utilizes a mandrel for coaxial positioning of the positioning ring and the fixing ring, and uses a long tube for rotation and fixing operations through a concave-convex interlocking structure, reducing the difficulty of operation. In particular, it can improve the stability of operation when assembling small-sized seams.

[0020] 4. In this invention, both the positioning short tube and the fixing short tube are provided with corresponding mounting grooves on the side close to the slot, so that the support rod can be bent inward and assembled with the slot. The final left atrial appendage occluder obtained by closing the end is located inside the mesh area formed by the support rod, which can form an end-concave occluder structure, which can further reduce the volume of the occluder, reduce the delivery resistance, and also avoid damage to the treatment subject caused by the structure of the assembly part after the occluder is released.

[0021] 5. The fixing ring of the present invention is provided with an assembly groove. By rotating the fixing ring, the assembly groove is aligned with the slot. After the current support rod end is fixed, the fixing ring is rotated again, so that when other support rods are fixed, the position of the support rod that has been fixed remains unchanged, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty and improving the uniformity of the assembled closing section.

[0022] 6. The present invention utilizes a two-section pipe structure to axially fix the corresponding short joints, and the assembly slots are switched by rotating the short joints of the cover layer through the long pipe of the cover layer, which facilitates the assembly operation and disassembly, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0023] 7. The positioning block of the distal fixator of the present invention uses a rectangular positioning hole to limit the rotation of the positioning tube, while not affecting the free rotation of the fixed tube. When closing the proximal end of the left atrial appendage occluder, it can ensure the stability of the positioning ring position. At the same time, the fixed ring can be operated to rotate and switch the slot, simplifying the operation method and improving the efficiency and quality of the closing assembly.
