Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical instruments for cardiac surgery, and in particular to a valve leaflet cutting device and system. Background Art
[0002] Aortic stenosis is a common cardiovascular disease with a high mortality rate. In recent years, the development of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) technology has brought innovation to the treatment of aortic stenosis. However, in surgeries such as TAVR, ViV-TAVR (valve-in-valve TAVR) and Redo-TAVR (repeat TAVR), the risk of coronary artery obstruction is a key problem, which limits the application of these technologies in more elderly patients with aortic valve disease.
[0003] The BASILICA technology was proposed to reduce the risk of coronary artery obstruction. This technology uses an electric guide wire to cut and tear the degenerated and thickened autologous valve leaflets or the failed biological valve leaflets, forming a triangular window before implanting the interventional valve, increasing the channel for blood flow to the aortic sinus to improve coronary artery hemodynamics.
[0004] Studies have shown that the BASILICA technique has a high success rate and can effectively reduce the incidence of coronary artery obstruction. However, although the BASILICA technique has shown potential in preventing coronary artery obstruction, it still has some shortcomings, especially in the existing technology, there is a lack of devices specifically designed for leaflet cutting, which limits the further development and application of related technologies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0093] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the term "or" is usually used in the sense of including "and / or", unless the content clearly indicates otherwise.
[0094] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. In addition, in the description of this application, the terms "first", "second" and the like are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. The "proximal end" mentioned in the text refers to the end close to the operator along the length direction of the leaflet cutting device, and the "distal end" refers to the end away from the operator along the length direction of the leaflet cutting device.
[0095] It is known to those skilled in the art that in order to achieve their respective functions and meet the requirements of surgical operations, the specific shapes / sizes / angles of the structures can be adaptively adjusted. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0096] Example 1
[0097] Based on the background technology, it can be seen that although the existing BASI LICA technology can be used to prevent coronary artery obstruction, its operation steps are complicated, the positioning accuracy of the device is insufficient, and there is a lack of effective safety protection measures during the leaflet cutting process. At the same time, the existing technology lacks a special leaflet clamping mechanism and an adjustable cutting device, which makes it difficult to adapt to the cutting needs of different surgical scenarios. These problems limit the promotion and application of this technology in the elderly aortic valve disease patient group.
[0098] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a leaflet cutting device, which is preferably suitable for transcatheter aortic valvulectomy, and is particularly suitable for treating lesions such as aortic valve stenosis or calcification before implanting an artificial valve, so as to improve coronary hemodynamics and reduce the risk of coronary artery obstruction.
[0099] refer to Figure 1 — Fig.11The leaflet cutting device includes a distal cutting part 10, a catheter part 20 and a proximal operating part from the distal end to the proximal end, wherein the distal cutting part 10 includes a main body, a moving part 13, a cutter head 14 and a clamp arm 15, the proximal operating part includes a bending control handle 30 and a cutting control handle, and the catheter part 20 includes an outer sheath tube 21, a middle sheath tube 22 and an inner sheath tube 23 from the outside to the inside, the proximal end of the outer sheath tube 21 is connected to the bending control handle 30, the distal end of the outer sheath tube 21 can be adjusted to adapt to the structural direction of the blood vessel, and the proximal end of the middle sheath tube 22 is arranged on the cutting In the cutting control handle, the distal end of the middle sheath 22 is connected to the main body, and the proximal end of the inner sheath 23 is also inserted into the cutting control handle. The distal end of the middle sheath 22 is connected to the moving part 13. By controlling the cutting control handle, the relative movement of the middle sheath 22 and the inner sheath 23 can be achieved to control the opening and closing of the clamping arm 15 and clamp the leaflets, so that the blade head 14 can cut the leaflets; preferably, at least part of the area of the blade head 14 is also provided with a conductive material, which can supply power to the blade head 14 when the cutting control handle is energized to achieve electrical cutting of the leaflet tissue.
[0100] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 In some embodiments, the main body includes a main body portion 12 and a guide portion 11 connected thereto.
[0101] In some embodiments, the main body portion 12 is configured as a dual-cavity structure, including a hollow inner cavity and a blade guide groove 121 that are isolated from each other, both of which extend axially along the main body portion 12, wherein the hollow inner cavity is provided with a distal opening and a proximal opening for passing a guide wire 80, and the side of the blade guide groove 121 is open to accommodate the blade 14 for axial movement therein, and during the movement, the blade 14 is exposed to the open area of the blade guide groove 121 to achieve electrical cutting and / or physical cutting of the leaflet.
[0102] like Figure 4 , Figure 5In some embodiments, the blade guide groove 121 further includes a guide cavity and a blade hidden cavity 1211, wherein the guide cavity is arranged in the middle of the blade guide groove 121, and is a side open area of the blade guide groove 121, and when the blade 14 moves therein, a physical cutting operation on the leaflet can be achieved; further, a blade hidden cavity 1211 is provided at both the proximal and distal ends of the blade guide groove 121, and at least the length of the blade hidden cavity 1211 at the distal end is not less than the length of the distal end of the blade 14. The length of the blade 141 and the height of the blade hidden cavity 1211 are greater than the height of the blade 141. During the transportation of the blade 14, the blade 141 is located in the blade hidden cavity 1211 at the distal end. When the blade 14 moves to the proximal end of the blade guide groove 121, the blade 141 is located in the blade hidden cavity 1211 arranged at the proximal end. By setting the blade 14 as a hidden structure, the risk of damaging tissue due to the exposure of the blade 141 during the transportation of the distal cutting part 10 can be effectively reduced.
[0103] In some embodiments, the guide portion 11 is roughly conical and fixedly connected to the distal opening of the hollow inner cavity, that is, the guide portion 11 is the farthest end of the entire leaflet cutting device; an axially through cavity is provided in the guide portion 11, and the cavity is connected to the hollow inner cavity of the main body portion 12, for passing a guide wire 80. Specifically, the guide wire 80 can play a positioning role during the operation. When the leaflet cutting is completed, the leaflet cutting device is withdrawn from the body along the guide wire 80, and then other instruments can be inserted to carry out subsequent surgical operations.
[0104] In some embodiments, the guide portion 11 is made of a soft material, while the main body portion 12 is made of a rigid material; the flexible guide portion 11 can, on the one hand, reduce the risk of stimulation and potential damage to the blood vessel wall, and on the other hand, can better adapt to the curvature and changes of the blood vessel and improve the passing performance of the device; and the rigid main body portion 12 can provide sufficient rigidity and strength for the entire distal cutting portion 10 to ensure the stability of the operation and the accuracy of clamping and cutting the leaflets.
[0105] In some embodiments, the guide portion 11 is injection molded from a soft material, and the main body portion 12 is injection molded from an insulating, high-hardness material. The insulating main body portion 12 can prevent current leakage from the blade 14 during electric cutting to protect the safety of the patient and the operator.
[0106] like Figure 6 — Figure 8 In some embodiments, the cutting head 14 includes a control rod 143 and a cutting head body disposed at its distal end. The proximal end of the control rod 143 extends to the proximal operating part and can be energized. On the one hand, the control rod 143 can be electrically connected to the cutting head body to achieve electrical cutting. On the other hand, it can control the axial movement of the cutting head body to achieve physical cutting of the leaflet tissue.
[0107] In some embodiments, the blade body is provided with a blade 141 extending radially outward, and the blade 141 can be configured as a single-sided blade, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 , or double-sided blades, such as Figure 8 The blade 141 and the area connected to the control rod 143 are made of conductive material, which is used for pneumatic and electrical connection with the control rod 143. The control rod 143 is also made of conductive material. When power is not supplied, only the axial movement of the blade body in the blade guide groove 121 can be controlled to achieve physical cutting of the leaflets. When power is supplied, the blade 141 on one side or both sides made of conductive material can achieve electrical cutting of the leaflets, which is particularly suitable for calcified leaflets. Specifically, physical cutting or electrical cutting of the blade 14 can be selected as needed according to clinical use requirements.
[0108] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the control rod 143 is also provided with an insulating coating to prevent accidental electric shock when the blade body is performing electrical cutting.
[0109] In some embodiments, the blade body also includes an assembly portion 142, and the outer peripheral surface of the assembly portion 142 is provided with an installation area for installing the blade 141, and at least the installation area is provided with a conductive material to ensure a stable electrical connection between the blade 141 and the assembly portion 142; the assembly portion 142 and the blade 141 can be fixedly connected or integrally formed.
[0110] In some embodiments, the assembly portion 142 and the distal end of the control rod 143 are configured as a detachable fixed connection; the assembly portion 142 is configured as a solid column or a hollow cylinder. When configured as a hollow cylinder structure, its inner cavity diameter is adapted to the outer diameter of the control rod 143 to facilitate the assembly connection between the two.
[0111] In some embodiments, the proximal end of the assembly portion 142 can be reliably mechanically and electrically connected to the distal end of the control rod 143 by threaded connection, welding, riveting, etc. This detachable connection method facilitates the replacement of blade heads 14 of different specifications and shapes to meet the cutting requirements of different surgical scenarios. When a large incision operation is required, a thicker blade head 14 can be selected, such as Figure 7 , to provide sufficient cutting force, when a small incision is required, a thinner blade head 14 can be selected, such as Figure 6 , in order to reduce the impact on surrounding tissues.
[0112] In some embodiments, the blade 141 has a preset protruding height relative to the outer surface of the assembly portion 142, and the protruding height is pre-set according to actual cutting requirements, but should be smaller than the radius of the main body to achieve a hidden structure of the blade head 14 and ensure smooth movement of the blade head 14; the blade 141 adopts a gradient design, with a first preset thickness at the bottom, gradually thinning to a second preset thickness toward the top, wherein the second preset thickness is not greater than the first preset thickness, which ensures that the bottom of the blade 141 has sufficient connection strength and stability, and that the top of the blade 141 has good cutting sharpness.
[0113] To meet different cutting requirements, the cross section of the blade 141 can be selected in different geometric shapes: when a triangular cross section is selected, the best cutting sharpness can be obtained; when a trapezoidal cross section is adopted, both good cutting performance and better structural strength are maintained; and a rectangular cross section provides maximum structural stability while ensuring the cutting effect. The most suitable cross-sectional shape of the blade 141 can be selected according to the characteristics and requirements of the specific surgical site, and no specific limitation is given here.
[0114] In some embodiments, when the blade 141 is configured as a double-sided blade, the double-sided blade is tilted on the assembly portion 142, with the outer blades of the double-sided blades facing the distal end and the inner blades of the double-sided blades facing the proximal end. When the starting position of the blade head 14 is at the distal end of the blade head guide groove 121, after capturing the leaflet, the blade head 14 is pulled back toward the proximal end, and the inner blade can start cutting from the root of the leaflet; when the starting position of the blade head 14 is at the proximal end of the blade head guide groove 121, after capturing the leaflet, the blade head 14 is pushed toward the distal end, and the outer blade can start cutting from the apposing edge of the leaflet, thereby achieving partial cutting of the leaflet.
[0115] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Fig. 9 In some embodiments, the proximal end of the clamp arm 15 is rotatably connected to the main body, and the distal end thereof is used to clamp and fix the leaflet. The movable member 13 is cylindrically sleeved on the proximal end of the main body and is slidably connected to the clamp arm 15. The movable member 13 can move axially relative to the main body, and is used to drive the clamp arm 15 to rotate around the main body to achieve the opening and closing of the clamp arm 15. When the clamp arm 15 is closed and clamps the leaflet, the axial movement of the cutter head 14 is used to achieve physical cutting of the fixed leaflet.
[0116] In some embodiments, the clamp arm 15 is connected to the main body by a pivot connection structure such as rivets to form a rotatable hinge point, and a first boss 151 is provided on the proximal side of the hinge point, and the first boss 151 is slidably connected to the movable member 13; the outer peripheral surface of the movable member 13 is provided with an inclined notch 131, and the notch 131 matches the first boss 151, and the first boss 151 can slide smoothly along the notch 131; the axial movement of the movable member 13 can drive the clamp arm 15 to rotate around the hinge point to achieve opening and closing. When the clamp arm 15 is in a closed state, the outer surface of the clamp arm 15 and the outer contour of the hidden cavity are located on the same cylindrical surface, which minimizes the stimulation and damage to the blood vessel wall during intravascular delivery.
[0117] In some embodiments, the length of the slot 131 determines the maximum opening and closing angle of the clamp arm 15. By adjusting the length of the slot 131, specific opening and closing angles can be designed for leaflets of different sizes to improve adaptability; and the inclination angle of the slot 131 matches the opening and closing speed of the clamp arm 15. A larger inclination angle will result in a faster opening and closing speed, while a smaller angle will make the opening and closing slower and more controllable. By adjusting the inclination angle of the slot 131, the opening and closing speed of the clamp arm 15 can be controlled to avoid sudden impact on fragile tissues; in this embodiment, the length or inclination angle of the slot 131 is no longer specifically limited, and technicians in this field can make adjustments according to the actual needs of different patients.
[0118] In some embodiments, the position of the notch 131 also determines the opening and closing force of the clamp arm 15; Fig.10 When the leaflet cutting device is opened, the first boss 151 of the clamp arm 15 is subjected to the horizontal pulling force FA of the moving part 13, and FA is decomposed into the force FA1 along the notch 131 and the force FA2 perpendicular to the notch 131. L1 is the distance from the point of force application to the rotation axis. According to the moment formula M=F*L, the force arm is long, the clamp arm 15 is subjected to less force, and it is easier to open and close; refer to Fig.11 When the leaflet cutting device is closed, the first boss 151 of the clamp arm 15 is subjected to the horizontal thrust FB of the moving part 13, and FB is decomposed into a force FB1 along the direction of the notch 131 and a force FB2 perpendicular to the notch 131. L2 is the distance from the point of force application to the rotation axis. According to the moment formula M=F*L, the force arm is short, and the clamp arm 15 exerts a greater force on the main part at this time, and the clamping force is better. In this embodiment, the specific position of the notch 131 is no longer limited, and those skilled in the art can adjust it according to the actual needs of different patients.
[0119] In some embodiments, a developing ring is provided on the outer side of the clamp arm 15 for observing the position of the leaflet cutting device under surgical angiography to facilitate the operator to make corresponding adjustments.
[0120] like Fig. 9In some embodiments, the inner side of the clamp arm 15 is provided with a barb structure 152. When the clamp arm 15 is closed, the leaflet is located between the clamp arm 15 and the main body. The barb structure 152 can fix the position of the leaflet to prevent the leaflet from sliding or shifting during the cutting process, so as to facilitate the subsequent cutting operation. Optionally, the barb structure 152 includes but is not limited to a tooth shape, a cone shape, and a rake shape, and the barb structures 152 on both sides of the clamp arm 15 can be configured in different shapes and / or quantities, so as to make the leaflet fit the clamp arm 15 and the main body more closely.
[0121] Specifically, barb structures 152 of different shapes / sizes can adapt to leaflet tissues of different thicknesses, hardnesses, and textures. For example, a toothed structure may be more suitable for thin leaflets, while a stronger conical or rake-shaped structure may be required for thicker or calcified leaflets. By distributing the barbs in different quantities, the pressure distribution can be optimized to avoid excessive local pressure causing tissue tearing and other damage. By selecting the appropriate barb shape, size, and quantity, it is possible to minimize damage to the leaflet tissue while providing sufficient fixing force, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0122] In some embodiments, the clamp arm 15 and the moving member 13 are both made of insulating materials to prevent accidental electric shock when the cutter head 14 performs electric cutting, while reducing thermal damage to surrounding areas caused by heat generated during the electric cutting process.
[0123] In some embodiments, when the clamp arm 15 is closed, the front view of the entire distal cutting portion 10 is circular, and the maximum diameter does not exceed 6 mm, so as to facilitate delivery in the artery; further, the outer surface of the entire distal cutting portion 10 is a roughly continuous cylinder without other protruding structures, so as to avoid damage to blood vessels or other tissues during delivery.

During operation, when the doctor rotates the rotating operating member 32 through the knob, due to the threaded matching relationship between the threaded moving member 31 and the rotating operating member 32, the threaded moving member 31 will produce axial displacement, and this axial displacement is transmitted to the traction wire through the traction wire fixing member 33, thereby achieving accurate pulling of the distal end of the traction wire. By controlling the rotation direction and angle of the rotating operating member 32, the bending direction and degree of the distal end of the outer sheath tube 21 can be accurately adjusted, so as to facilitate accurate navigation of the device to the target surgical position.
