Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a vascular stent system. Background Art
[0002] Atherosclerosis often leads to various diseases and even threatens life. For example, atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart can lead to stenosis of the coronary artery lumen, insufficient blood supply to the myocardium, and cause angina pectoris. If the atherosclerotic plaques rupture, secondary thrombosis will form, blocking the coronary arteries, which can cause myocardial infarction. Atherosclerosis of cerebral blood vessels can lead to stenosis or blockage of the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain tissue, causing stroke. Atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries can cause stenosis or blockage of the carotid arteries, leading to cerebral infarction. If the atherosclerotic plaques rupture, the fragments fall off and block the cerebral arteries with the blood flow, which can cause cerebral infarction. Atherosclerosis of the lower limb arteries can cause peripheral vascular disease. Patients may experience claudication in the early stages, followed by various complications due to insufficient blood supply to the lower limbs. Severe cases may even require amputation.
[0003] At present, the two most common intracavitary interventional procedures used to treat the above-mentioned diseases are percutaneous intracavitary balloon dilatation and intracavitary stent implantation. The patency rate of the former varies in different parts, but is much lower than that of the latter.
[0004] The vascular stents used in intraluminal stent implantation are mainly divided into two categories: cutting type and braided type. Braided stents are mainly woven by metal wires and are formed as an integral braid. The cutting stent includes multiple closed rings distributed along the axial intervals, and a connecting part for connecting two adjacent closed rings. The braided stent has certain flexibility and fatigue resistance, but the axial shortening rate is very high and the radial support force is relatively weak; while the cutting stent usually has good radial support force and a small axial shortening rate, but its fatigue resistance and flexibility are poor. On the basis of the two, there are also coated stents that use polymer films as carriers and braided or cut closed rings as support structures. Their axial shortening rate is higher than that of the cutting stent, and their fatigue resistance and flexibility are stronger than those of the braided stent, but the maximum compressible loading outer diameter is large, which is difficult to apply to the above-mentioned smaller diameter blood vessels.
[0005] Due to the influence of calcification on both sides of the vascular wall of the lesion site, there is a large gradient difference between the inner diameter of the vascular wall and the normal vascular site. At the same time, the original site of the vascular is not uniform in diameter from an anatomical point of view. Therefore, after the above-mentioned mainstream stent is implanted in the human body, the radial force applied to the vascular wall by the above-mentioned mainstream stent during the manufacturing stage and the outer diameter of the stent in the released state cannot meet the optimal working state, so there are: 1. The radial force is too low or the outer diameter is too small: the radial force of the stent implanted in the lesion site is insufficient, resulting in stent collapse or displacement of the stent in the normal vascular site; 2. The radial force is too high or the outer diameter is too large: the transition expansion of the stent implanted in the normal vascular site causes damage to the blood vessel; 3. The adjacent units of the stent implanted in the site with a large gradient difference in the inner diameter of the blood vessel affect each other, resulting in the metal rod breaking and damaging the vascular wall. And the above problems are more obvious when long-specification stents are implanted. Therefore, for lesions with large changes in inner diameter, there is basically no stent system that can flexibly adjust the inner diameter of the stent according to the changes in the inner diameter of the blood vessel. The existing stent system still has lesion positions that cannot be overcome, especially the lower limb arteries with large movement amplitudes and large changes in inner diameter. At present, there is still no mainstream vascular stent available for the knee.
[0006] There is an urgent need for a bullet-loaded, modular stent in which adjacent support rings are independent of each other in the released state and radial forces and outer diameters do not affect each other. Summary of the invention

Compared with other mainstream stents (braided stents, cutting stents), the self-expanding stent units in the present invention are not connected to each other, which greatly enhances the compliance and fatigue resistance of the stent component, and can be used in arterial blood vessels with frequent movements and complex working conditions, such as the lower limbs below the knee artery where current stent implantation cannot be carried out.
