Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical materials, and more particularly to a drug balloon catheter. Background Art

[0002] Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) refers to the narrowing or blockage of peripheral arteries and obstruction of blood flow due to atherosclerosis, resulting in symptoms and signs of ischemia. Peripheral arteries refer to blood vessels other than cardiovascular and cerebral arteries, but the majority of this disease occurs in the lower limbs, so peripheral arterial disease usually refers specifically to arteriosclerotic occlusive disease of the lower limb arteries. Lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) refers to a chronic progressive disease caused by arteriosclerosis, intimal thickening, lumen stenosis or occlusion of the lower limb blood supply arteries, insufficient blood supply to the affected limbs, and clinical manifestations such as intermittent claudication, hypothermia, pain, and even ulcers or necrosis of the lower limbs. It is often a manifestation of systemic arteriosclerotic vascular lesions in the lower limb arteries. The main cause of ASO is atherosclerosis.

[0003] With the development of interventional surgery and devices, many centers choose endovascular treatment as the preferred revascularization method because it has lower morbidity and mortality than surgery, and can be replaced by open surgery if the treatment fails. When intermittent claudication affects the quality of life, exercise or drug therapy is ineffective, and clinical characteristics suggest that endovascular treatment can improve patient symptoms and has a good risk-benefit ratio, endovascular treatment is the preferred treatment option. There are many endovascular technologies for the treatment of ASO, such as percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PTA), stent implantation, plaque resection, laser angioplasty, cutting balloon, drug balloon, cryoballoon, and thrombolytic therapy or thrombectomy.

[0004] In recent years, drug-coated balloon (DCB) has been widely used in the field of coronary artery and peripheral intervention in Europe as a new interventional treatment technology. In China, many DCB products have been or will be put into clinical use. The emergence of DCB provides a new option for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease in China.

[0005] At present, several drug balloons launched in China and abroad all use drugs and excipients to coat the balloons together, and the excipients are used to control the firmness of the drug coating. However, this drug coating will introduce one or more substances in addition to the effective drugs, and there is a certain probability that it will cause safety problems such as allergies or adverse irritation reactions in the human body. While the drug coating is released quickly, a lot of drugs will be washed away by the blood during the delivery process, and very few drugs will act locally. By increasing the drug loading of the balloon coating, the amount of drug absorption can be increased locally, but a large amount of excess drug flows to the distal end of the blood vessel, affecting the health of the patient. In addition, because the expansion time of ordinary drug balloon dilatation catheters is short, the drug is not easy to be released, and the blood vessels will quickly rebound to their original state after the ordinary balloon is withdrawn due to the loss of support, so the current ordinary drug balloon dilatation catheters face many problems and difficulties.

[0006] In summary, in order to better treat lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans, there is an urgent need in clinical practice for a product that can increase the sustained release period of drugs within the blood vessel wall and greatly reduce drug loss during balloon intervention. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a drug balloon catheter, which can attach the drug to the outer surface of the balloon as firmly as possible, and at the same time reduce the loss of the drug by blood washing in the blood vessels during the process of delivering the balloon to the lesion site through the catheter, thereby solving the problems of low drug transfer efficiency and short sustained release drug efficacy period of the drug balloon after it is delivered to the lesion site.

[0067] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0068] Currently, balloon angioplasty is the mainstream method for treating peripheral arterial disease. Compared with drug-eluting stents (DES), the drug balloon of the drug balloon catheter provided by the present invention is for short-term contact and is not covered by metal foreign matter, thereby greatly reducing the risks of intimal hyperplasia and thrombosis. The present invention combines rapamycin with a biodegradable polymer to form tens of thousands of drug-loaded microspheres, thereby achieving consistent and predictable drug release. It has the ability to continuously release drugs and the retention time of drugs in the blood vessel wall comparable to DES technology.

[0069] At the same time, the drug balloon provided by the present invention is compared with similar products. Domestic similar products use drugs and excipients to coat the balloon together, and the excipients are used to control the firmness of the drug coating; however, this drug coating will introduce one or more substances other than the effective drug, and there is a certain probability of causing safety problems such as allergic or adverse irritation reactions in the human body; and while the drug coating is released quickly, a lot of drugs will be washed away by the blood during the delivery process, and very little drug will act locally; the present invention uses a proprietary amphiphilic excipient as a carrier, which combines the drug-loaded microspheres to the balloon surface, playing a protective role during balloon insertion and expansion; while improving the drug transfer efficiency, it reduces drug loss during balloon intervention, and maximizes the drug uptake by cells in the vascular wall.

[0070] The present invention provides a drug balloon catheter, comprising: a balloon, a push rod and a catheter base connected in sequence; the balloon comprises a balloon head, a balloon body and a marking band; the surface of the balloon body is covered with a drug coating, and the marking bands are arranged on both sides of the drug coating; the push rod is a hollow structure, and an inner cavity through which a guide wire can pass is provided throughout the entire length, and the balloon slides along the guide wire; the catheter base is connected to the push rod through a Y-shaped interface, and is provided with a guide wire port and a pressure pump port. Compared with the prior art, the drug balloon catheter provided by the present invention adopts a specific structure and connection relationship, and cooperates with a specific drug coating to achieve overall better interaction, and can attach the drug to the outer surface of the balloon as firmly as possible. At the same time, the drug-loaded drug on the outer surface of the balloon reduces the loss of the drug being washed by the blood in the blood vessels during the process of delivering the balloon to the lesion site through the catheter, thereby solving the problems of low drug transfer efficiency and short sustained release drug efficacy period of the drug balloon after it is delivered to the lesion site.

[0071] In order to further illustrate the present invention, the following examples are provided for detailed description. Example

[0072] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of a drug balloon catheter in an embodiment of the present invention; the drug balloon catheter is composed of a coaxial integral exchange (OTW) catheter with a drug-coated balloon fixed at the distal head end, including a balloon head, a balloon body, a marking band, a push rod, and a catheter seat; the catheter seat is connected to the push rod through a Y-shaped interface, and is provided with a guide wire port and a pressure pump port; the push rod is a hollow structure without a metal core, and has an inner cavity through the entire length for the guide wire to pass, and the balloon slides along the guide wire; the drug coating covers the surface of the balloon body, and the marking bands are arranged on both sides of the drug coating; when in use, water or air is injected into the drug balloon catheter through a pressure pump to expand the balloon, and the balloon continuously acts on the blood vessel wall at the stenotic site, so that the blood vessel generates external tension around the entire circumference, thereby rapidly expanding the stenotic lumen.

[0073] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the drug coating of the drug balloon catheter in the embodiment of the present invention; the total drug concentration in the drug coating is 3 μg / mm 2 ~4μg / mm 2 .

[0074] The preparation method is as follows:

[0075] (1) Dissolve 150 mg of rapamycin and 100 mg of the biodegradable polymer polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene in 25 ml of tetrahydrofuran solvent to obtain a drug solution; then inject the fully dissolved solution into a desktop supercritical point dryer for supercritical drying (see the operation process for details). Figure 5 ), the corresponding process parameters are shown in Table 1, and the drug-loaded microspheres ( Figure 3 The collected drug-loaded microspheres were mixed with 1 wt% polysorbate aqueous solution and dissolved in 10 ml of ethanol, ultrasonically shaken for 1 h, and filtered to obtain a spray solution.

[0076]

[0077] (2) Place the spray solution in the drug supply device of the spray equipment, atomize the drug solution supplied by the drug supply system into uniform droplets through the ultrasonic generator, and then spray the liquid mist onto the balloon through the carrier gas to obtain a fine, uniform and firm drug coating ( Figure 4 ); the corresponding spraying process parameters are shown in Table 2. After spraying, the balloon is placed in a special drying oven for drying at a temperature of 50°C and a drying time of 30 minutes to obtain a drug coating.

[0082]

[0083] Experimental results show that the paclitaxel drug-coated balloon Passeo-18 Lux launched by Biotronik for the treatment of lower extremity arterial disease has been verified to have a rapid release of paclitaxel in the blood vessels within one week, and the drug release lasts for nearly 1 month ( Figure 6The coating technology of the present invention provides an optimal delivery mechanism, ensuring minimal drug loss during product delivery and balloon dilation. Experiments have shown that the drug balloon dilation catheter prepared by the present invention for peripheral vascular dissection can increase drug release time to 3 months ( Figure 7 ), greatly improving the effectiveness of continuous treatment.
