Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a repair system for improving heart valve coaptation. Background Art

[0002] The mitral valve is located at the left atrioventricular orifice and is composed of five parts: the valve ring, valve leaflets, chordae tendineae, papillary muscles, and commissural connections. Its accurate anatomical name is the mitral apparatus (mitral apparatus) or mitral complex (mitral complex).

[0003] The tricuspid valve is located at the right atrioventricular orifice and has three nearly triangular sail-shaped valves. The base of the valve is attached to the fibrous ring of the atrioventricular orifice. Functionally, the fibrous ring, valve, chordae tendineae and papillary muscles can be seen, forming the tricuspid valve complex (tricuspidvalvarcomplex).

[0004] Mitral regurgitation can be divided into the following two types: 1. Rheumatic mitral regurgitation, mainly caused by mitral valve insufficiency, can cause blood to flow in reverse, thereby mixing different bloods, causing the heart to pump blood and oxygen delivery function to decline. 2. Non-rheumatic mitral regurgitation, usually refers to mitral regurgitation of varying degrees caused by abnormalities of the mitral valve itself and its surrounding anatomical structures in addition to rheumatic valvular disease. There are many causes of non-rheumatic mitral regurgitation, the more common ones are: mitral valve prolapse, papillary muscle insufficiency or chordae tendineae rupture, left atrial myxoma, valve ring calcification, congenital valve malformation, infective endocarditis, etc. Mitral regurgitation can also be divided into three types: functional, degenerative or mixed. The most common are degenerative and functional mitral regurgitation. Functional mitral regurgitation is generally secondary to impaired left ventricular wall motion, left ventricular dilatation, and papillary muscle dysfunction, and is generally seen in patients with heart failure. This group of patients also includes ischemic mitral regurgitation secondary to coronary artery disease and mitral regurgitation associated with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Degenerative mitral regurgitation disease is generally considered to be a pathological change in the valve structure or pathological changes in the subvalvular structure, including abnormal extension or rupture of the chordae tendineae.

[0005] When the mitral valve is diseased, we usually replace the diseased posterior leaflet so that the implanted patch can be aligned with the anterior leaflet. For example, patent CN202210058417.8 discloses a repair device with a bionic leaflet morphology, including a first skeleton and a closing aid. After the repair device is implanted, the first skeleton is fixed to the native valve annulus or atrial tissue, and the closing aid can move with the movement of the native valve leaflet. The repair device also includes a shape retaining member, one end of which is connected to the first skeleton, and the shape retaining member is attached to the closing aid. When the native valve is in a closed state, the part of the closing aid close to the native valve annulus is supported by the shape retaining member. Although the shape retaining member in the patent solution can provide effective shape support for the upper part of the closing aid, its first skeleton is difficult to be anchored tightly against the native valve ring due to the invisible reason during the surgical operation. The fixed position of the first skeleton is usually above the native valve ring, which will cause some space to exist between the root area of ​​the closing aid and the root area of ​​the native valve ring. When the valve is closed, blood will flow into this space and further flow out to both sides of the closing aid, causing blood reflux. In addition, long-term blood accumulation will also cause calcification, thrombosis and other problems in this area.

[0006] In summary, the repair device in the prior art has at least the following technical pain points: after the shape retaining member is set, although the arched shape of the closing aid can be maintained, due to the uncertainty of the needle insertion position, a gap space will be generated between the root area and the native valve ring. When the valve opens and closes, part of the blood will accumulate in this area, forming adverse conditions such as thrombosis and calcification. In addition, the blood accumulated in the root area will flow out from the two sides of the root of the closing aid, causing paravalvular leakage and affecting the repair effect. Summary of the invention

[0007] This application is proposed in view of the above and other more concepts.

[0008] One of the purposes of the present application is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a repair system for improving heart valve coaptation, for example, to address the problems of blood congestion and bilateral paravalvular leakage between the root of the closing aid and the root of the native valve leaflet in the prior art.

[0009] The technical solution adopted to solve the technical problem of the present invention is to provide a repair system for improving the engagement of a heart valve, comprising an outer sheath, an artificial valve leaflet arranged in the outer sheath, an anchoring needle for anchoring the artificial valve leaflet, and an adjustment device detachably connected to the artificial valve leaflet, wherein the adjustment device comprises a first tube, a first guide wire, a second tube arranged in the first tube, a second guide wire, a support member arranged at the head end of the second tube, a threaded needle arranged in the second tube, a fitting component connected to the threaded needle, and a control rod detachably connected to the tail of the threaded needle, wherein the first tube is detachably connected to the artificial valve leaflet through the first guide wire, the fitting component is arranged between the first tube and the second tube, and when the control rod is rotated so that the threaded needle passes through the artificial valve leaflet and penetrates into the heart tissue, the fitting component is located in the middle area of ​​the artificial valve leaflet close to the native valve ring, so that the middle area is in close contact with the atrial tissue or the native valve leaflet.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the abutment member includes a first developing ring, a second developing ring, and an elastic member arranged between the first developing ring and the second developing ring. The second guide wire is tightened, the first developing ring abuts against the artificial valve leaflet, and pushes the second tube to compress the elastic member. The first developing ring and the second developing ring are fitted together, and the control rod is rotated so that the threaded needle passes through the artificial valve leaflet and penetrates into the heart tissue.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, a buffer structure is provided on the first developing ring.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the artificial valve leaflet includes a mate plate and a fixing bracket arranged at the distal end of the mate plate, the fixing bracket is provided with an anchoring area, and the first tube and the second tube are detachably connected to the anchoring area through the first guide wire and the second guide wire respectively.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the apposition piece is made of biological material (such as bovine pericardium or porcine pericardium), and of course it can also be made of polymer material. The apposition piece is arched in shape to facilitate better apposition with the native valve leaflet to prevent reflux.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the fitting component includes a lower pressing plate and an anti-twist member, the lower pressing plate includes a connecting portion and a lower pressing portion, wherein the connecting portion is sleeved on the root of the threaded needle, and the connecting portion has a preset shape.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, after the first developing ring is in close contact with the anchoring area, the first tube is withdrawn so that the connecting portion returns to a preset shape, and the lower pressing plate is located in the middle area of ​​the matching plate close to the autologous valve ring.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the longer the stroke of the threaded needle penetrating into the heart tissue, the shorter the distance between the downward pressing portion and the atrial wall or the native valve leaflet; that is, the deeper the threaded needle penetrates into the heart tissue, the greater the degree of downward pressing of the fitting component. This allows the degree to which the fitting component presses down on the fitting piece to be adjusted by the threaded needle to adapt to the differences in physiological and anatomical structures between different patients, while also ensuring that there is no gap between the fitting piece and the root of the native valve leaflet.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, the connecting part includes a plurality of memory metal wires. Since they are not visible during the operation, the position of the anchoring needle may be on the atrial wall, resulting in a certain height difference between the root of the apposition piece and the native valve ring, creating a layer gap space, and blood will accumulate in this space. Therefore, the fitting component is a hard part with a certain rigidity, so that the fitting component can press the apposition piece down close to the middle area of ​​the native valve ring (the middle area is the main area for blood accumulation), so that the apposition piece can be close to the heart tissue and prevent blood from entering between the apposition piece and the native valve leaflet.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, the pressing part includes a frame and a fabric layer wrapped on the frame, the frame is composed of a plurality of metal wires and is arranged in a grid structure, and the longitudinal arrangement density of the metal wires is greater than the transverse arrangement density.

[0019] As a further improvement of the present invention, one end of the anti-twist-away member is fixed to the anchoring area, and the other end of the anti-twist-away member is fixed to the lower pressure plate, wherein the anti-twist-away member includes a first anti-twist-away member and a second anti-twist-away member respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the lower pressure plate, so that when the threaded needle rotates, the lower pressure plate remains stationary in the circumferential direction.

[0020] As a further improvement of the present invention, the first anti-twist member and the second anti-twist member may be in a strip-like form, so that the connection area with the anchoring area can be increased, thereby more effectively preventing the lower pressing plate from rotating.

[0021] As a further improvement of the present invention, an arched rod is provided on the mating piece, and the area between the proximal end of the fixed bracket and the rod is called an anti-side leakage area, and both sides of the anti-side leakage area are respectively provided with a backward curled socket-shaped portion.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the technical solution of the present application include at least the following:

[0023] In the prior art, when the implant is anchored, the anchoring position of the fixing bracket is generally higher than the native valve ring because the operation is not visible during the operation. This results in a gap between the root of the artificial valve leaflet and the root area of ​​the native valve leaflet, causing blood to flow into the gap when the valve is closed, resulting in blood shunting from both sides of the closing aid, and valve regurgitation and other adverse conditions. According to an idea of ​​the present application, a fitting component is provided at the distal end of the clasping piece, and the fitting component is located in the middle area of ​​the clasping piece close to the native valve ring, thereby squeezing out the space between the root of the clasping piece and the root of the native valve ring, so that the root of the clasping piece can be close to the native valve ring or the atrial wall, effectively preventing blood from accumulating between the clasping piece and the native valve leaflet, and avoiding regurgitation and thrombosis.

[0024] Due to the lack of visibility during the operation, it is difficult for the control lever to confirm whether the anchoring area is in close contact with the heart tissue before rotating the threaded needle. According to an idea of ​​the present application, a support member is provided at the head end of the second tube, and the support member includes a first developing ring, a second developing ring and an elastic member. By observing the relative positions of the first developing ring and the second developing ring through imaging, it can be determined whether the anchoring area is in close contact with the heart tissue, thereby preventing the threaded needle from idling.

[0025] According to one concept of the present application, a threaded needle is used to fix the fitting component, and the longer the threaded needle enters into the heart tissue, the greater the degree to which the fitting component is pressed down. On the one hand, the degree to which the fitting component presses down the fitting piece can be adjusted by the threaded needle to adapt to the differences in physiological and anatomical structures between different patients, while also ensuring that there is no gap between the fitting piece and the root of the autologous valve leaflet.

[0026] According to one concept of the present application, the degree of downward pressure of the fitting component can be adjusted by rotating the threaded needle, and an anti-twist part is also provided to effectively prevent the downward pressure plate from rotating circumferentially during the rotation of the threaded needle, resulting in deviation in the downward pressure position.

[0027] The embodiments of the present application can achieve other advantageous technical effects that are not listed one by one. These other technical effects may be partially described below and are predictable and understandable to those skilled in the art after reading the present application.

[0042] In this embodiment, the abutting member 45 includes a first developing ring 451, a second developing ring 452, and an elastic member 453 disposed between the first developing ring 451 and the second developing ring 452. The second guide wire 44 is tightened, the first developing ring 451 abuts against the artificial valve leaflet 2, and pushes the second tube 43 so that the elastic member 453 is compressed, and the first developing ring 451 and the second developing ring 452 are fitted together. Figure 5 As shown, the control rod is rotated so that the threaded needle 46 passes through the artificial valve leaflet 2 and penetrates into the heart tissue. Figure 6 shown.

[0043] In this embodiment, a buffer structure 454 is disposed on the second developing ring 452 . The buffer structure 454 is a polymer membrane or a biological pericardial material, so as to prevent the second developing ring 452 from causing damage to tissues.

[0044] In this embodiment, the artificial valve leaflet 2 includes a mate plate 21 and a fixing bracket 22 arranged at the distal end of the mate plate 21, and an anchoring area 23 is provided on the fixing bracket 22. The first tube 41 and the second tube 43 are detachably connected to the anchoring area 23 through the first guide wire 42 and the second guide wire 44 respectively.

[0045] In this embodiment, the apposition piece 21 is made of biological material (such as bovine pericardium or porcine pericardium), and of course it can also be made of polymer material. The apposition piece 21 is arched in shape to facilitate better apposition with the native valve leaflet to prevent reflux.

[0046] In this embodiment, the fitting component 47 includes a lower pressing piece 471 and an anti-twist piece 472, and the lower pressing piece 471 includes a connecting portion 4711 and a lower pressing portion 4712, wherein the connecting portion 4711 is sleeved at the root of the threaded needle 46, and the connecting portion 4711 has a preset shape, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0048] In this embodiment, the longer the stroke of the threaded needle 46 penetrating into the heart tissue, the shorter the distance between the downward pressing portion 4712 and the atrial wall or the native valve leaflet; that is, the deeper the threaded needle 46 penetrates into the heart tissue, the greater the degree of downward pressing of the fitting component 47. This allows the degree to which the fitting component 47 presses down on the closure plate 21 to be adjusted by the threaded needle 46 to adapt to the differences in physiological and anatomical structures between different patients, while also ensuring that there is no gap between the closure plate 21 and the root of the native valve leaflet.

[0049] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 4711 includes a plurality of memory metal wires. Since they are not visible during the operation, the anchoring needle 3 may be inserted at the atrial wall, resulting in a certain height difference between the root of the apposition piece 21 and the native valve ring, creating a laminar space in which blood flow will accumulate.

[0051] In this embodiment, the pressing portion 4712 includes a frame 47121 and a fabric layer 47122 wrapped on the frame 47121. The frame 47121 is composed of a plurality of metal wires and is arranged in a grid structure. In addition, the longitudinal arrangement density of the metal wires is greater than the transverse arrangement density. Figure 3 shown.
