Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a balloon catheter for treating mitral valve calcification. Background Art

[0002] Mitral valve calcification is a process that results in calcium deposits in and around the fibrous base of the mitral valve, with an incidence of 10% in the 60-year-old population and up to 33% in the 90-year-old population. Mitral valve annular calcification leads to mitral valve dysfunction—mitral stenosis or regurgitation, atrial fibrillation, stroke, infective endocarditis, and death; in the context of an aging population, there is an increasing number of patients with mitral valve dysfunction and concomitant MAC.

[0003] With the application of shock wave technology in blood vessels, it has been clinically proven to have significant effects on vascular calcification. Shock wave technology can be used to treat mitral valve ring calcification, thereby using minimally invasive surgery to restore mitral valve function to the greatest extent and avoid surgery and replacement. However, percutaneous treatment requires some implants and there is a possibility of restenosis. A single shock wave treatment can easily block the mitral valve outflow tract and easily cause the patient's death. In addition, since there are multiple chordae tendineae connecting under the mitral valve, during the intervention process, the position of the instrument needs to be controlled to prevent the instrument from entering the middle of the chordae tendineae and damaging the chordae tendineae during operation or withdrawal.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a balloon catheter for treating mitral valve calcification that avoids blood blockage and can accurately adjust the balloon position. Summary of the invention

[0057] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0058] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0059] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0060] Those skilled in the art can understand that, for any non-circular geometric shape, there must be an assumed circle that passes through at least two vertices of the geometric shape and makes the geometric shape completely inside or on the assumed circle with the smallest possible area. The assumed circle with the largest area is called the maximum assumed circle. There must be a gap between the maximum assumed circle and any edge of the geometric shape or the vertex of the geometric shape that is not on the maximum assumed circle.

[0061] For any patient's blood vessel, there must be an assumed inscribed circle of the cross-sectional shape of the blood vessel. When the balloon is inflated to such an extent that the area of ​​the maximum assumed circle is closest to the area of ​​the assumed inscribed circle, the area of ​​the maximum assumed circle is less than or equal to the area of ​​the assumed inscribed circle. Therefore, there must be a gap between any edge of the geometric shape or a vertex of the geometric shape that is not on the maximum assumed circle and the assumed inscribed circle, and the area of ​​the assumed inscribed circle is less than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the blood vessel, that is, there must be a gap between any edge of the geometric shape or a vertex of the geometric shape that is not on the maximum assumed circle and the blood vessel.

[0062] Therefore, as long as the cross-sectional shape of the balloon after expansion is not circular, there can be a gap between the expanded balloon and the patient's blood vessels for blood to flow through. Example
