Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular, relates to a heart valve delivery device. Background Art
[0002] Heart valve diseases are mostly treated with transvascular technology that uses a catheter delivery assembly to deliver and implant an artificial heart valve. The artificial valve is installed in a curled state at the distal end of the catheter delivery assembly. The catheter delivery assembly advances through the patient's blood vessels to the implantation site, and the artificial valve at the distal end of the catheter delivery assembly is propped open by balloon inflation. This treatment method can effectively improve treatment efficiency and relieve patients' pain.
[0003] Currently, existing heart valve delivery devices generally use a handle to adjust the curvature of the catheter delivery assembly to adapt to the course of the blood vessels. However, after the distal end of the catheter delivery assembly passes through the aortic arch, the tip tube at the distal end of the catheter delivery assembly usually cannot be aligned with the aortic valve orifice and is easily held against the heart valve, making it difficult to quickly deliver the artificial valve at the distal end of the catheter delivery assembly to the implantation position. During the operation, a long time is required to repeatedly adjust the handle to move the distal end of the catheter delivery assembly in order to deliver the artificial valve at the distal end of the catheter delivery assembly to the implantation position, which makes the operation more difficult, affects the success rate of the operation, and increases the risk of the operation.

[0056] Please also read Figures 1 to 20 The heart valve delivery device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is now described. The heart valve delivery device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is used to deliver an artificial valve 20 or a valve stent to the heart of a patient. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig. 20 The heart valve delivery device provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes a balloon 1, a catheter delivery assembly 2, a handle 3, a sheath 4, at least one first drawwire 5 and at least one second drawwire 6. The artificial valve 20 is sleeved on the contracted balloon 1. The balloon 1 is used to load the curled artificial valve 20 in the contracted state and to expand the artificial valve 20 in the expanded state.
[0057] Please refer to further Figure 6 and Figure 7The balloon 1 comprises a first conical capsule body 11 constituting the distal end of the balloon 1, a second conical capsule body 12 constituting the proximal end of the balloon 1, and a columnar capsule body 13 disposed between the first conical capsule body 11 and the second conical capsule body 12 to constitute the middle part of the balloon 1, and the artificial valve 20 is sleeved on the columnar capsule body 13. The sheath tube 4 is disposed at the distal end of the balloon 1, and the sheath tube 4 is a soft rubber tube with a freely adjustable bending curvature and / or bending direction, and the soft rubber tube is a conical tube made of medical polymer materials. After the balloon 1 loaded with the artificial valve 20 passes through the aortic arch, the sheath tube 4 can be pre-aligned and pierced into the aortic valve orifice, so that the balloon 1 and the artificial valve 20 at the distal end of the catheter delivery component 2 can be smoothly delivered to the aortic valve orifice, thereby using the catheter delivery component 2 to deliver the balloon 1 to achieve delivery of the artificial valve 20 or valve stent to the patient's heart transplantation position.
[0058] Please refer to further Figure 2 , Fig.13 , Fig.14 and Fig. 20 The catheter delivery component 2 is used to deliver the balloon 1 loaded with an artificial valve 20 to the implantation position of the patient's heart. The proximal end of the balloon 1 is connected to the distal end of the catheter delivery component 2, and the handle 3 is connected to the proximal end of the catheter delivery component 2. The handle 3 is connected to the distal end of the catheter delivery component 2 by at least one first drawwire 5, and the first drawwire 5 can be slidably penetrated into the interior of the catheter delivery component 2 along the axial direction of the catheter delivery component 2. The first drawwire 5 can be pulled toward the proximal end of the handle 3 by the handle 3, and the first drawwire 5 can pull the distal end of the catheter delivery component 2 back toward the proximal end of the handle 3, so that the part of the catheter delivery component 2 close to its distal end is bent, and the curvature of the distal part of the catheter delivery component 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the moving distance of the first drawwire 5, until the curved shape of the distal part of the catheter delivery component 2 roughly conforms to the shape of the aortic arch, so that the artificial valve 20 on the balloon 1 can pass through the aortic arch smoothly.
[0059] Please refer to further Figure 2 , Fig.13 , Fig.14 and Fig. 20 The handle 3 is connected to the distal end of the sheath 4 through at least one second drawwire 6, and the second drawwire 6 can be slidably disposed inside the catheter delivery assembly 2 along the axial direction of the catheter delivery assembly 2. After the balloon 1 loaded with the artificial valve 20 passes through the aortic arch, the second drawwire 6 can be pulled by the handle 3 to achieve adaptive adjustment of the curvature and / or bending direction of the distal end of the sheath 4, so that the sheath 4 after passing through the aortic arch can avoid the heart valve and quickly align with the aortic valve orifice, thereby preventing the sheath 4 from abutting against the heart valve and causing the artificial valve 20 on the balloon 1 to be unable to be delivered to the implantation position.
[0060] It should be noted that the distal end of the catheter delivery assembly 2 refers to the end of the catheter delivery assembly 2 that is close to or facing the operator, and the proximal end of the catheter delivery assembly 2 refers to the end of the catheter delivery assembly 2 that is close to or facing the patient's heart. Similarly, the proximal end of the handle 3, the proximal end of the sheath 4, the proximal end of the first wire drawing 5, the proximal end of the second wire drawing 6, etc. all refer to the end of the corresponding component that is close to or facing the operator, and the distal end of the handle 3, the distal end of the sheath 4, the distal end of the first wire drawing 5, the distal end of the second wire drawing 6, etc. all refer to the end of the corresponding component that is close to or facing the patient's heart. In addition, it can be understood that the number of the first wire drawing 5 can be set to one, two or more, and the number of the first wire drawing 5 can be reasonably set according to the actual use requirements of the catheter delivery assembly 2. When the number of the first wire drawing 5 is two, the handle 3 can be used to control the catheter delivery assembly 2 to bend and deform in two different dimensions, so as to avoid frequent rotation of the catheter delivery assembly 2 in the patient's blood vessel and realize that the shape of the distal end of the catheter delivery assembly 2 is roughly consistent with the shape of the aortic arch. When the number of the first drawing wires 5 is multiple, the handle 3 can be used to control the catheter delivery assembly 2 to bend and deform in multiple different dimensions. It is not necessary to rotate the catheter delivery assembly 2 in the patient's blood vessel to quickly realize that the shape of the distal end of the catheter delivery assembly 2 roughly conforms to the shape of the aortic arch, shortening the operation time, reducing the patient's pain, and reducing the risk of surgery. Similarly, the number of the second drawing wires 6 can be set to one, two, or more, and the number of the second drawing wires 6 can be reasonably set according to the actual use requirements of the sheath 4 to adjust the curvature or dimension. When the number of the second drawing wires 6 is multiple, the handle 3 can be used to control the sheath 4 to bend in multiple different dimensions. It is not necessary to rotate the catheter delivery assembly 2 in the patient's blood vessel to quickly realize that the distal end of the sheath 4 is bent in a direction away from the heart valve, shortening the operation time, reducing the patient's pain, and reducing the risk of surgery.
[0061] Compared with the prior art, the heart valve delivery device provided by the embodiment of the present invention has a handle 3 connected to the distal end of the catheter delivery component 2 through a first wire 5, and the first wire 5 can be slidably disposed inside the catheter delivery component 2 along the axial direction of the catheter delivery component 2. The handle 3 only needs to be used to pull the first wire 5 toward the proximal end of the handle 3, so that the curved shape of the distal end of the catheter delivery component 2 roughly conforms to the shape of the aortic arch, so that the artificial valve 20 on the balloon 1 can smoothly pass through the aortic arch. In addition, a sheath 4 with a freely adjustable curvature and / or bending direction is provided at the distal end of the balloon 1, and the handle 3 is connected to the distal end of the sheath 4 through a second wire 6, and the second wire 6 can be slidably disposed inside the catheter delivery component 2 along the axial direction of the catheter delivery component 2. After the balloon 1 passes through the aortic arch, it is only necessary to use the handle 3 to pull the second drawwire 6 toward the proximal end of the handle 3 to adaptively adjust the bending curvature and / or bending direction of the distal end of the sheath 4, so that the sheath 4 can avoid the heart valve and quickly align with the aortic valve orifice, ensuring that the artificial valve 20 on the balloon 1 can be directly delivered to the aortic valve orifice after passing through the aortic arch, thereby shortening the operation time, reducing the patient's pain, improving the success rate of the operation, and reducing the risk of the operation.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 In some embodiments, the handle 3 includes a handle body 31, a first adjustment component 32 and a second adjustment component 33. The handle body 31 is connected to the proximal end of the catheter delivery component 2, and the first adjustment component 32 and the second adjustment component 33 are arranged on the handle body 31. In this way, the first draw wire 5 can be pulled or released by the first adjustment component 32, so that the curved shape of the distal end of the catheter delivery component 2 roughly conforms to the shape of the aortic arch, so that the artificial valve 20 on the balloon 1 can pass through the aortic arch smoothly. At the same time, the second draw wire 6 can be pulled or released by the second adjustment component 33 to achieve adaptive adjustment of the curvature and / or bending direction of the distal end of the sheath tube 4, so that the sheath tube 4 can avoid the heart valve and quickly align with the aortic valve orifice.
[0063] Please refer to Figure 3 , Fig.17 and Fig.19In some embodiments, the first adjustment component 32 includes a first positioning tube 321, a first sliding member 322, a first adjustment knob 323 and a first sleeve 324. The first positioning tube 321 is fixedly arranged inside the handle body 31 and sleeved on the catheter delivery component 2. The first sliding member 322 can be slidably arranged on the first positioning tube 321 along the axial direction of the first positioning tube 321. The first adjustment knob 323 is movably installed on the handle body 31. The first sleeve 324 is connected to or integrally formed with the first adjustment knob 323. A first internal thread 325 is provided on the inner wall of the first sleeve 324. A first external thread 326 adapted to the first internal thread 325 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first sliding member 322. The first sliding member 322 is located in the first sleeve 324 so that the first internal thread 325 is screwed with the first external thread 326. The proximal end of the first wire drawing 5 is connected to the first sliding member 322, and the distal end of the first wire drawing 5 is connected to the distal end of the catheter delivery component 2. Please refer to further Fig.13 and Fig.14 When the first adjustment knob 323 is rotated clockwise, the first sliding member 322 moves toward the proximal end of the handle 3, and at the same time, the first sliding member 322 pulls the first draw wire 5 toward the proximal end of the handle 3, so that the shape of the distal end of the catheter delivery component 2 is roughly consistent with the shape of the aortic arch, so that the artificial valve 20 on the balloon 1 can pass through the aortic arch smoothly. When the first adjustment knob 323 is rotated counterclockwise, the first sliding member 322 moves toward the distal end of the handle 3, and at the same time, the first draw wire 5 is released toward the distal end of the handle 3, so that the curved catheter delivery component 2 returns to a straight shape.
[0064] Please refer to Fig.15 , Fig.17 and Fig.19 In some embodiments, a first guide post 327 is provided on the first sleeve 324, and a first guide groove 328 is provided on the first sliding member 322 for sliding and inserting the first guide post 327. Under the guidance of the first guide post 327 and the first guide groove 328, the first sliding member 322 is prevented from shaking or jamming with the first positioning tube 321 during the sliding process, so that the first adjustment component 32 of the handle 3 can smoothly and quickly adjust the curvature of the distal end of the catheter delivery component 2, and effectively improve the adjustment accuracy of the first adjustment component 32 of the handle 3 on the curvature of the catheter delivery component 2, which is conducive to shortening the operation time and improving the operation efficiency. It should be noted that a first strip-shaped avoidance hole 329 is provided on the first positioning tube 321 to avoid the first wire drawing 5, so as to avoid the first positioning tube 321 from interfering with the movement of the first wire drawing 5.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.16 In some embodiments, the catheter delivery assembly 2 further includes a first stopper 7 for stopping the balloon 1 and / or the artificial valve 20. The first stopper 7 includes a sleeve 71 sleeved and fixed to the distal end of the catheter delivery assembly 2 and a cat's claw-shaped claw spring 72 provided at one end of the sleeve 71 close to the balloon 1. The cat's claw-shaped claw spring 72 can clamp the proximal end of the balloon 1 and limit it to the distal end of the catheter delivery assembly 2. Specifically, the distal end of the fourth catheter 24 is fixedly provided with the first stopper 7 for stopping the balloon 1 and / or the artificial valve 20. The artificial valve 20 is sandwiched between the first stopper 7 and the distal end of the balloon 1. The balloon 1 loaded with the artificial valve 20 can be delivered to the patient's heart through the catheter delivery assembly 2 via the blood vessels. In this embodiment, before the balloon 1 is delivered to the implantation position or during the operation, the third catheter 23 is pulled by the third adjustment component 34, and the balloon 1 is pulled toward the first locking member 7 by the third catheter 23 until the proximal end of the balloon 1 is engaged and confined in the cat-claw-shaped claw spring 72 of the first locking member 7, which can overcome the impact of high-pressure blood on the balloon 1 and prevent the artificial valve 20 on the balloon 1 from being unloaded.
[0081] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 In some embodiments, the first retaining member 7 is located outside the balloon 1, and the first retaining member 7 is arranged near the proximal end of the artificial valve 20. During the operation, even if the artificial valve 20 is displaced or slipped from the balloon 1 due to the impact of high-pressure blood flow or the obstruction of calcified heart valves, since the first retaining member 7 is located outside the balloon 1, the third catheter 23 is driven by the handle 3 to axially contract in the fourth catheter 24, so that the first retaining member 7 at the distal end of the fourth catheter 24 approaches and abuts against the artificial valve 20, and the artificial valve 20 can be reloaded on the balloon 1, effectively preventing the artificial valve 20 from being unloaded from the balloon 1 and making it impossible for the artificial valve 20 to be retracted.

When the third catheter 23 pulls the balloon 1 back, the artificial valve 20 loaded on the balloon 1 can be clamped between the first locking member 7 and the second locking member 8, which can effectively prevent the artificial valve 20 from being unloaded from the balloon 1 during delivery, thereby improving the stability of the artificial valve 20 loaded on the balloon 1.
[0083] Please refer to Figure 8 , Fig.10 and Fig.18 In some embodiments, the second stopper 8 is disposed inside the balloon 1. After the balloon 1 contracts, the second stopper 8 props up the distal end of the balloon 1 to form an anti-slip step 14 on the balloon 1 to stop the artificial valve 20. When the third catheter 23 pulls the balloon 1 back, the artificial valve 20 loaded on the balloon 1 can be sandwiched between the first stopper 7 and the anti-slip step 14, which can effectively prevent the artificial valve 20 from being unloaded from the balloon 1 during transportation, thereby improving the stability of the artificial valve 20 loaded on the balloon 1.
[0084] Please refer to Fig. 9 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, a delivery channel 26 for delivering fluid medium to the balloon 1 is formed between the third catheter 23 and the second catheter 22, one end of the delivery channel 26 is connected to the balloon 1, and the other end of the delivery channel 26 is connected to the injection tube 27. After the balloon 1 with the artificial valve 20 enters the heart valve, a syringe is used to inject gas and / or saline into the injection tube 27, and the gas and / or saline is delivered to the balloon 1 through the delivery channel 26, so that the balloon 1 expands, and the expanded balloon 1 can open the artificial valve 20. After the operation is completed, the gas and / or saline in the balloon 1 can be slowly extracted by the syringe, so that the balloon 1 shrinks and separates from the artificial valve 20, and then the handle 3 is slowly adjusted to separate the catheter delivery assembly 2 from the patient.
[0085] Please refer to Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 In some embodiments, an exhaust channel 28 is formed between the fourth conduit 24 and the fifth conduit 25, and the exhaust channel 28 is connected to the blood discharge valve 29 through a connecting pipe, so that the gas and / or blood during the operation can be discharged through the blood discharge valve 29. The second wire drawing 6 can be axially slidably arranged in the second limited space between the fourth conduit 24 and the fifth conduit 25, effectively preventing the second wire drawing 6 from bending.
