Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices and relates to a surgical artificial heart valve. Background Art

[0002] Mitral regurgitation is a common mitral valve disease. Treatments for mitral regurgitation patients include repair and replacement. Since the therapeutic effect of repair methods is limited, mitral valve replacement is often required. Traditional replacement products include mechanical valves and bioprosthetic valves.

[0003] Mechanical valves are durable and not prone to wear, but they require lifelong use of anticoagulants to prevent the formation of blood clots, which increases the risk of internal bleeding. Compared with mechanical valves, biological valves have the advantages of less trauma and faster postoperative recovery. For biological valves with a circular overall shape, they are composed of three elastic leaflets that can be opened and closed with pressure. The leaflets are fixed to the valve frame by suturing. The valve frame usually has a certain height and the height of the valve frame increases with the size of the valve.

[0004] CN116616963A discloses an artificial heart valve, comprising at least two incompressible valves; the at least two incompressible valves independently comprise a support seat, a metal frame arranged on the top surface of the support seat, and leaflets attached to the metal frame; two adjacent incompressible valves are connected; and the cross-sectional area of ​​the artificial heart valve is ≤ the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the at least two incompressible valves constituting the artificial heart valve.

[0005] Therefore, in the prior art, surgical double-hole mitral valves disperse the pressure on a single valve by splitting a valve with a larger opening into two valves with smaller openings, thereby improving the durability of the valve. At the same time, the two smaller openings are arranged closely together, and the shape is similar to an ellipse, which is more in line with the shape of the native mitral valve ring, reducing the impact of the artificial biological mitral valve on the aortic valve after implantation.

[0006] However, patients with mitral valve disease have problems with compensatory hyperplasia of ventricular muscle. When a double-orifice mitral valve is implanted, the valve feet on the long axis of the outflow side will come into contact and squeeze with the anterior and posterior walls of the ventricle. This contact and squeezing will limit the movement of the valve leaflets to a certain extent. The contact between the valve feet and the ventricle will also accelerate the extension of scar tissue on the valve leaflets.

[0007] To this end, it is necessary to avoid the problem of reducing the effective opening area of ​​the valve due to compression between the valve legs and the surrounding tissues. Summary of the invention

[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide a surgical artificial heart valve, which avoids the problem of reduction of effective opening area caused by muscle tissue compression by specifically setting the position of the valve foot.

[0014] Because patients with mitral valve disease have compensatory hyperplasia of ventricular muscles, the flap feet of conventional surgical artificial heart valves have the defect of limiting the movement of valve leaflets when they come into contact and squeeze the anterior and posterior walls of the ventricle. The present invention makes the distance between one of the three flap feet of the first valve and one of the three flap feet of the second valve close, while the distance between the other two flap feet of the first valve and the other two flap feet of the second valve exceeds the inner diameter of the first support seat or the second support seat, so that when the flap feet interfere with the muscle tissue, the two flap feet can form a surface from both sides of the long axis direction to block the myocardial tissue from squeezing the valve outflow side opening, thereby ensuring the effective opening area of ​​the valve.

[0079] In some embodiments, the height of the first arcuate band and / or the second arcuate band is smaller than the height of the first valve foot and the height of the second valve foot.

The arc-shaped bands arranged on both sides of the long axis direction of the surgical artificial heart valve form channels on the outflow side, which can effectively optimize hemodynamics and reduce the formation of blood clots.

[0110] Furthermore, by making the materials of the first arc-shaped band 10 and the second arc-shaped band 20 independently of each other as polymer materials, the extension rate of scar tissue can be effectively reduced, endothelialization of the first leaflet and the second leaflet can be prevented, and the durability of the surgical artificial heart valve can be improved.

[0118] Compared with Example 1, the surgical artificial heart valve provided in this embodiment can further effectively prevent the muscle tissue in the ventricle from interfering with the normal operation of the surgical artificial heart valve through the arrangement of the first arc-shaped band 10 and the second arc-shaped band 20. The arc-shaped bands arranged on both sides of the long axis direction of the surgical artificial heart valve form channels on the outflow side, which can effectively optimize hemodynamics and reduce the formation of blood clots.

[0119] Furthermore, by making the materials of the first arc-shaped band 10 and the second arc-shaped band 20 independently of each other as polymer materials, the extension rate of scar tissue can be effectively reduced, endothelialization of the first leaflet and the second leaflet can be prevented, and the durability of the surgical artificial heart valve can be improved.

[0120] Example 4

[0121] This embodiment provides a surgical artificial heart valve, which is different from Embodiment 1 in that the first support seat and the second support seat are connected by a snap connection, and the snap includes a spring elastic part.

[0122] The native mitral valve ring is saddle-shaped, and in three-dimensional space, the anterior and posterior leaflets are higher than the junction. During the contraction and relaxation of the heart, the mitral valve ring also moves, and the junction of the inner and outer anterior and posterior leaflets will fold down along the anterior-posterior radial direction of the mitral valve. The present invention can enable the surgical artificial heart valve to still have the conditions for movement after implantation through the provision of the elastic part, and retain the ability of muscle tissue to contract and relax to the greatest extent.

[0123] To summarize, the present invention makes the distance between one of the three flap feet of the first valve and one of the three flap feet of the second valve close, while the distance between the other two flap feet of the first valve and the other two flap feet of the second valve exceeds the inner diameter of the first support seat or the second support seat, so that when the flap feet interfere with the muscle tissue, the two flap feet can form a surface from both sides of the long axis direction to block the myocardial tissue from squeezing the outflow side opening of the valve, thereby ensuring the effective opening area of ​​the valve.

[0124] The above description is only a specific implementation mode of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention are within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
