[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The easy-to-push mitral valve repair clamp described in the present invention is assisted by a second traction wire, and then the four-cornered barbs at one end of the second traction wire are pierced into the edge of the valve leaflet. After being connected and fixed, the mitral valve repair pushing auxiliary mechanism as a whole is translated. The four-cornered barbs of the second traction wire remain in position under the movement of the flexible tube, but the length of the second traction wire is extended. Subsequently, the moving flexible tube contacts the semicircular barbs on the other side to the appropriate position of the membrane and then contracts to an appropriate size, thereby effectively correcting mitral valve regurgitation and reducing the reflux of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium.

[0017] 2. The easy-to-push mitral valve repair clamp described in the present invention circles the range of the mitral valve and then pushes the inner sleeve to make its lower clamp arm fit against the bottom of the mitral valve, and then pushes the upper clamp arm on the connecting rod to fit against the top of the mitral valve. The connecting rod can also be rotated to ensure that the rotation angle of the upper clamp arm is the same as the position of the open and closed mitral valve. Therefore, after observing and evaluating the clamping force and position of the upper clamp arm and the lower clamp arm, the connecting rod is pulled downward to make it and the upper clamp arm downward and connected with the lower clamp arm, so that repair can be performed without removing the patient's own valve, retaining the physiological structure and function of the valve, reducing surgical damage to the heart, and reducing surgical risks and the incidence of complications.

The ball portion at the front end of the ball-shaped rod can release the release protrusion on the abutment, allowing it to be in the "V" shape under the connection, and the recovery of elastic properties allows it to form a level with the inside of the lower clamping arm. After the release protrusion is restored, the front end of the Z-shaped clamping plate that is clamped on one side will be disengaged, and the rear end of the ball-shaped rod that extends to the outside will be rotated, and the conical kit fixed on it will rotate synchronously, so that the V-grooves on both sides of the conical kit release the connection between the end of the Z-shaped clamping plate and the V-groove under the power of rotation. Therefore, the fixed points at both ends of the entire Z-shaped clamping plate will be disengaged from the abutment on the inner sleeve and the clamping pit after contact. Therefore, the entire inner sleeve is retrieved, and the upper clamping arm and the lower clamping arm remain in the preset position to clamp the valve leaflet to achieve the purpose of repairing the heart valve. 4. The easy-to-push mitral valve repair clamp described in the present invention uses the semicircular hooks on the soft tube to pull the semicircular hooks on one side and the other side to compress the range of the mitral valve opening. At the same time, before the opening is completely closed, the clamping force and position of the upper clamp arm and the lower clamp arm are adjusted through observation and evaluation, and then the connecting rod is pulled downward to make it and the upper clamp arm downward and connected with the lower clamp arm. Therefore, the entire mitral valve repair mechanism forms a fully enclosed repair. If one of the two becomes loose or moves, the other group of structures can adapt to the pathological changes of the mitral valve to prevent or reverse the process of cardiac remodeling, so that the heart can be stably restored to a more normal shape and function.

The number of rectangular grooves A304 and B308 is several, and there is a gap between each two. The outer arc surfaces of the two magnetic kits 307 are movably connected with the second traction wire 4, and a traction kit 401 is fixedly installed at one end of the second traction wire 4. The inner arc surface of the traction kit 401 is fixedly installed with four-corner barbs 402, and the four-corner barbs 402 are compatible with the semicircular arc-shaped barbs 305.

[0024] In this embodiment, after the patient receives general anesthesia, the doctor selects a suitable incision position according to the surgical method. Minimally invasive surgery uses a small intercostal incision to intervene through the atrium via a catheter, and carefully observes the lesion of the mitral valve. The lesion site of the mitral valve is determined before the insertion of the catheter, and after confirming that the passage is unobstructed across the valve, a repair clamp channel is established. Then, the corresponding head 302 at one end of the soft tube 301 extends outward from the inside of the catheter until the entire soft tube 301 is completely protruded from the inside of the catheter channel. Then, the doctor pulls the first traction wire 303 to make one end of the corresponding head 302 of the soft tube 301 inward under the action of traction. Bending, because the end of the first traction wire 303 is inserted into the insertion hole 202 in the supporting member 2, and one end is concentrated inside the catheter channel, so during the pulling of the first traction wire 303, one end of the flexible tube 301 will move along the insertion direction of the first traction wire 303, and the bending portion 201 at one end of the supporting member 2 will be pre-connected and fixed with the end of the flexible tube 301, and a space for plugging with the corresponding head 302 will be reserved, so that the flexible tube 301 will come out from the horizontal inner sleeve 5, and the shape of the flexible tube 301 can be changed under the pulling of the first traction wire 303, and the overall repair range of the mitral valve is circled.

[0025] After the flexible tube 301 is attached to the mitral valve notch, the flexible tube 301 can be slightly rotated to rotate inside the internal air tube 306, and the magnetic kits 307 are connected to the outer sides of the air tube 306. The support of the magnetic kit 307 is connected by the magnetic connection of the second traction wire 4. Therefore, the air tube 306 will not rotate synchronously when the flexible tube 301 moves. During the rotation of the flexible tube 301, the semicircular barb 305 hidden in the middle is in a state of waiting to be released on the inner wall of the flexible tube 301, and the barb on the surface is released. Placed in the gap between the two rectangular grooves B308, the semicircular arc-shaped barb 305 protruding from one end of the rectangular groove A304 will be adjusted away from the blocking gap at the front end due to the correspondence between the rectangular groove B308 on one side and the rectangular groove A304 when the flexible tube 301 rotates counterclockwise, so that the elastic barb on one side of the semicircular arc-shaped barb 305 is released and extends to the outside of the vent tube 306. When the flexible tube 301 rotates clockwise, the barb on the other side of the semicircular arc-shaped barb 305 is also released after the rectangular groove B308 corresponds to the rectangular groove A304.

[0026] When the semicircular hook 305 on one side punctures into the inside of the membrane, in order to allow the semicircular hook 305 on the other side to accurately hook the other side of the mitral valve, it is necessary to use the second traction wire 4 for assistance, and then the four-corner hook 402 at one end of the second traction wire 4 is punctured at the edge of the valve leaflet. After connection and fixation, the mitral valve repair pushing auxiliary mechanism 3 is translated as a whole. The four-corner hook 402 of the second traction wire 4 remains in the same position under the movement of the flexible tube 301, but the length of the second traction wire 4 is extended. Subsequently, the moving flexible tube 301 contacts the semicircular hook 305 on the other side to the appropriate position of the membrane and then contracts to an appropriate size, thereby effectively correcting mitral regurgitation and reducing the reflux of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium.

[0027] After the repair is completed, the magnetic connection between the traction kit 401 and the magnetic kit 307 can be released. After the second traction wire 4 is disconnected, the entire mitral valve repair push auxiliary mechanism 3 will be fixedly connected to the mitral valve, and smoothness can be guaranteed during pushing, and no unnecessary parts will be left inside the atrium.

[0028] Example 2: Comparative Example 1, another embodiment of the present invention is: like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, the inner arc surface of the outer sleeve 1 is movably connected with the inner sleeve 5, and arc grooves A501 are provided on both sides of the outer arc surface of the inner sleeve 5.

A clamping pit 602 is provided at the edge of one side of the inner arc surface of the inner sleeve 6. A tightening step end 603 is provided on one side of the inner sleeve 6 close to the clamping pit 602. The diameter of the tightening step end 603 is larger than the diameter of the inner sleeve 6 itself. A mitral valve repair push clamp is movably connected to the surface of one side of the tightening step end 603 Structure 7, the mitral valve repair pushing clamp mechanism 7 includes a Z-shaped clamping plate 701 that is movably clamped into the clamping pit 602, the tail of the Z-shaped clamping plate 701 is an overlapping end, a trapezoidal abutting portion 702 is provided in the middle of one side surface of the Z-shaped clamping plate 701, and an arc-shaped curved portion 703 is provided on the side of the Z-shaped clamping plate 701 close to the trapezoidal abutting portion 702, one side of the trapezoidal abutting portion 702 is movably abutted against the clamping pit 602, and the arc-shaped curved portion 703 is movably adapted to the abutting step end 603, and the tail overlapping end of the Z-shaped clamping plate 701 is movably connected with a conical set 704, and V-shaped grooves 705 are provided on both sides of the outer arc surface of the conical set 704, and chamfers are provided at the edges of the V-shaped grooves 705. The interior of the V-shaped groove 705 is movably connected to the lap end of the tail of the Z-shaped clamping plate 701. A fixing groove 706 is provided at the edge of one side surface of the Z-shaped clamping plate 701. There are two Z-shaped clamping plates 701. The inner arc surface of the fixing groove 706 is movably connected with a lower clamping arm 707. A connecting portion 7071 is provided at the bottom of the inner arc surface of the lower clamping arm 707. Release protrusions 7072 are provided on both sides of the connecting portion 7071. One end of the release protrusion 7072 penetrates into the interior of the fixing groove 706. A connecting hole 7073 is provided in the middle of the front end of the connecting portion 7071. A ball-shaped rod 708 is penetrated and connected at one end of the connecting hole 7073. The spherical joint on one side of the ball-shaped rod 708 is connected to the release protrusion 7072. 072 is adapted to the inner side of the ball head rod 708, the tail end of the ball head rod 708 is fixedly connected to the conical set 704, the ball head rod 708 is inserted with a connecting rod 709, one end of the connecting rod 709 is fixedly installed with an upper clamping arm 710, the outer expansion end of the upper clamping arm 710 is adapted to the lower clamping arm 707, the outer arc surface of the ball head rod 708 is movably connected with a pulling base block 711, the upper surface of the pulling base block 711 is provided with an elastic end 7111, one end of the pulling base block 711 begins to have a card connection groove 7112, the other end of the pulling base block 711 is provided with an elastic hook portion 7113, the tail of the elastic hook portion 7113 is placed on the spherical outer arc surface of the ball head rod 708, and the pulling base block 711 is an arched structure as a whole After the soft tube 301 circles the range of the mitral valve, it not only limits the stability of the mitral valve repair pushing clamp mechanism 7, but also plays a guiding role. Because the inner sleeve 6 is connected to the inner sleeve 5, the outer sleeve 1, the inner sleeve 5 and the inner sleeve 6 will be completely withdrawn after the pushing is completed. After the mitral valve range is circled, the inner sleeve 6 is pushed to make its lower clamp arm 707 fit to the bottom of the mitral valve, and then the upper clamp arm 710 on the pushing connecting rod 709 is fit to the top of the mitral valve. The connecting rod 709 can also be rotated to ensure that the rotation angle of the upper clamp arm 710 is the same as the position of the open and closed mitral valve. Therefore, after observing and evaluating the clamping force and position of the upper clamp arm 710 and the lower clamp arm 707, the connecting rod 709 is pulled downward to make it and the upper clamp arm 710 downward, and combined with the lower clamp arm 707. Repair can be performed without removing the patient's own valve, retaining the physiological structure and function of the valve, reducing surgical damage to the heart, and reducing surgical risks and the incidence of complications.

[0029] After the pushing and repairing are completed, when the upper clamping arm 710 driven by the connecting rod 709 moves backward, it will squeeze the pulling base block 711, because the card connection groove 7112 at one end of the pulling base block 711 is slidably engaged on the connecting rod 709, and the elastic hook portion 7113 at the other end is movably engaged with the spherical joint on the rear end ball head rod 708. Therefore, during the pulling process of the connecting rod 709, the upper clamping arm 710 needs to be close to the lower clamping arm 707 and will continuously squeeze the pulling base block 711 during the displacement process, so that its horizontal shape is changed into an arch shape. At the same time, the ball head rod 708 connected to the rear end of the base block will also deviate backward, thus producing a chain reaction, and the ball portion at the front end of the ball head rod 708 will release the release protrusion 7072 abutting against it, allowing it to From the "V" shape under the connection, the recovery of elastic properties allows it to form a horizontal level with the inside of the lower clamping arm 707. After the release protrusion 7072 is restored, the front end of the Z-type clamping plate 701 clamped on one side will be disengaged, and the rear end will be rotated to extend to the end of the ball-shaped rod 708 on the outside, and the conical kit 704 fixed thereon will rotate synchronously, so that the V-grooves 705 on both sides of the conical kit 704 release the connection between the end of the Z-type clamping plate 701 and the V-grooves 705 under the power of rotation. Therefore, the fixed points at both ends of the entire Z-type clamping plate 701 will be disengaged from the abutment on the inner sleeve 6 and the clamping pit 602 after contact. Therefore, the entire inner sleeve 6 is retrieved, and the upper clamping arm 710 and the lower clamping arm 707 remain in the preset position to clamp the leaflets to achieve the purpose of repairing the heart valve.

[0030] The semicircular hooks 305 on the soft tube 301 are used to compress the range of the mitral valve opening by pulling the semicircular hooks 305 on one side and the other side. At the same time, the clamping strength and position of the upper clamp arm 710 and the lower clamp arm 707 are adjusted through observation and evaluation before the opening is completely closed. Then, the connecting rod 709 is pulled downward so that it and the upper clamp arm 710 are downward and connected with the lower clamp arm 707. Therefore, the entire mitral valve repair mechanism forms a fully enclosed repair. If one of the two becomes loose or moves, the other set of structures can adapt to the pathological changes of the mitral valve to prevent or reverse the process of cardiac remodeling, so that the heart can be stably restored to a more normal shape and function.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, Working principle: After the patient receives general anesthesia, the doctor selects the appropriate incision location according to the surgical method. Minimally invasive surgery uses a small intercostal incision to intervene through the atrium via a catheter, and carefully observes the lesion of the mitral valve. The insertion of the catheter first determines the lesion site of the mitral valve, and after confirming that the passage is unobstructed across the valve, a channel for the repair clamp is established. Then, the corresponding head 302 at one end of the soft tube 301 extends outward from the inside of the catheter until the entire soft tube 301 is completely protruded from the inside of the catheter channel. Then, the doctor pulls the first traction wire 303 to make one end of the corresponding head 302 of the soft tube 301 bend inward under the action of traction. Because the end of the first traction wire 303 is inserted into the insertion hole 202 in the carrier 2, and one end is concentrated inside the catheter channel, During the pulling of the first traction wire 303, one end of the flexible tube 301 will move in the direction of the insertion of the first traction wire 303, and the bent portion 201 at one end of the carrier 2 will be pre-connected and fixed with the end of the flexible tube 301, and a space will be reserved for plugging with the corresponding head 302, so that the flexible tube 301 will come out from the horizontal inner sleeve 5. The shape of the flexible tube 301 can be changed under the pulling of the first traction wire 303 to circle the repair range of the mitral valve as a whole. During the rotation of the flexible tube 301, the semicircular barb 305 hidden in the middle is in a state of waiting to be released on the inner wall of the flexible tube 301, and the barb on the surface is placed in the gap between the two rectangular grooves B308, and protrudes from the rectangular groove A308 when the flexible tube 301 rotates counterclockwise. The semicircular hook 305 at one end of 4 will be adjusted away from the blocking gap at the front end due to the corresponding rectangular groove B308 and rectangular groove A304 on one side, so that the elastic hook on one side of the semicircular hook 305 is released and extends to the outside of the vent tube 306. When the flexible tube 301 rotates clockwise, the hook on the other side of the semicircular hook 305 is also released after the rectangular groove B308 corresponds to the rectangular groove A304, and then the four-corner hook 402 at one end of the second traction wire 4 is pierced into the edge of the valve leaflet. After the connection is fixed, the mitral valve repair push auxiliary mechanism 3 is translated as a whole. The second traction wire 4 will not change the position of the four-corner hook 402 under the movement of the flexible tube 301, but the length of the second traction wire 4 is extended, and then the moving flexible tube 301 will move the semicircular hook 305 on the other side. After the arc-shaped barb 305 contacts the appropriate position of the membrane, it shrinks to an appropriate size, thereby effectively correcting mitral valve regurgitation and reducing the situation where blood flows back from the left ventricle to the left atrium. After the soft tube 301 circles the range of the mitral valve, it not only limits the stability of the mitral valve repair pushing clamp mechanism 7, but also plays a guiding role. Because the inner sleeve 6 is connected to the inner sleeve 5, the outer sleeve 1, the inner sleeve 5 and the inner sleeve 6 will be completely withdrawn after the pushing is completed. After the mitral valve range is circled, the inner sleeve 6 is pushed to make its lower clamp arm 707 fit to the bottom of the mitral valve, and then the upper clamp arm 710 on the pushing connecting rod 709 is fit to the top of the mitral valve. The connecting rod 709 can also be rotated to ensure that the rotation angle of the upper clamp arm 710 is the same as the position of the open and closed mitral valve.Therefore, after observing and evaluating the clamping force and position of the upper clamp arm 710 and the lower clamp arm 707, the connecting rod 709 is pulled downward to make it and the upper clamp arm 710 downward, and connected with the lower clamp arm 707, so that the patient's own valve can be repaired without removing it, the physiological structure and function of the valve can be retained, the damage to the heart caused by the operation can be reduced, and the surgical risk and the incidence of complications can be reduced. The front end of the Z-shaped clamping plate 701 will be disengaged from the clamping, and the rear end will be rotated to extend to the outside of the ball head At the end of the shaped rod 708, the cone-shaped sleeve 704 fixed thereon rotates synchronously, so that the V-shaped grooves 705 on both sides of the cone-shaped sleeve 704 release the connection between the end of the Z-shaped clamping plate 701 and the V-shaped grooves 705 under the power of rotation. Therefore, the fixed points at both ends of the entire Z-shaped clamping plate 701 will be separated from the abutment on the inner sleeve 6 and the clamping pit 602 after contact. Therefore, the entire inner sleeve 6 is retrieved, and the upper clamp arm 710 and the lower clamp arm 707 remain in the preset position to clamp the valve leaflets to achieve the purpose of repairing the heart valve.
