[0037] In order to explain the technical content and structural features of the present invention in detail, further description will be given below in combination with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a double-layer embolic protection device 100, which includes a wall-attached bracket 1, a delivery guide wire 2, a first interception filter 3 and a second interception filter 4, the wall-attached bracket 1 has a deformable accommodating space 11; the delivery guide wire 2 is inserted into the wall-attached bracket 1, and the wall-attached bracket 1 is connected to the delivery guide wire 2; the first interception filter 3 is provided with a plurality of first filter holes 31 connected to the accommodating space 11, the first interception filter 3 is arranged around the delivery guide wire 2, and the proximal end of the first interception filter 3 is connected to the distal end of the wall-attached bracket 1 along the circumferential direction of the distal end of the wall-attached bracket 1, and the distal end of the first interception filter 3 is slidably connected to the delivery guide wire 2; the second interception filter 4 is provided with a plurality of second filter holes 41, the second interception filter 4 is arranged around the delivery guide wire 2 and is sleeved on the outside of the first interception filter 3, and the proximal end of the second interception filter 4 is connected to the distal end of the wall-attached bracket 1 along the circumferential direction of the distal end of the wall-attached bracket 1, and the distal end of the second interception filter 4 is slidably connected to the delivery guide wire 2.

[0039] Among them, the wall-attached stent 1 adopts an elastically deformable structure, so that the wall-attached stent 1 can be squeezed and shrunk or released and expanded and opened, and the accommodating space 11 of the wall-attached stent 1 becomes larger or smaller with the deformation. When the wall-attached stent 1 is expanded and opened, the wall-attached stent 1 can abut against the inner wall of the blood vessel 300, so as to be anchored at the target position of the inner wall of the blood vessel 300. The radial support force formed between the wall-attached stent 1 and the inner wall of the blood vessel 300 can ensure that the wall-attached stent 1 is firmly positioned on the inner wall of the blood vessel 300, and at the same time will not damage the blood vessel 300, and prevent the thrombus 301 or plaque from flowing from the gap between the wall-attached stent 1 and the inner wall of the blood vessel 300 to the distal end of the blood vessel 300, so that the probability of thrombus 301 or plaque escape is very low. Since the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4 are respectively arranged at the distal end of the wall-attached stent 1, and the second interception filter 4 is arranged outside the wall-attached stent 1, during use, the blood sequentially passes through the accommodating space 11 of the wall-attached stent 1, the first filter hole 31 of the first interception filter 3 and the second filter hole 41 of the second interception filter 4, and then flows to the downstream of the blood vessel 300, achieving the purpose of double interception and filtration of the thrombus 301 or plaque in the blood. Figure 1 In one embodiment, a gathering piece 12 is provided at the proximal end of the wall-adherent stent 1, and the delivery guide wire 2 is connected to the gathering piece 12. The wall-adherent stent 1 can be squeezed and shrunk or released and expanded and opened with the gathering piece 12 as a fixed point.

[0040] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, a first developing member is provided on the gathering member 12. The first developing member can be used as a key developing mark for surgical reference, which is convenient for doctors to observe and understand the proximal position of the wall-attached stent 1, so as to determine the release and recovery position of the double-layer embolic protection device 100 of the present invention, thereby improving surgical efficiency and surgical safety.

[0041] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, the wall-attached bracket 1 includes a wall-attached bracket body 13 and a plurality of connecting rods 14, the proximal ends of the connecting rods 14 are respectively connected to the gathering piece 12, and the distal ends of the connecting rods 14 are respectively connected to the proximal ends of the wall-attached bracket body 13, and the wall-attached bracket body 13 and the connecting rods 14 are surrounded by a accommodating space 11; the proximal ends of the first intercepting filter net 3 and the proximal ends of the second intercepting filter net 4 are respectively connected to the distal ends of the wall-attached bracket body 13.

[0042] See also Figures 5 to 7In one embodiment, the wall-attached bracket body 13 includes a first support unit 131 and a second support unit 132. The first support unit 131 and the second support unit 132 are both annular wave-shaped structures. A plurality of first support units 131 and second support units 132 are alternately arranged along the axial direction, and there are a plurality of adjacent wave crests between adjacent first support units 131 and second support units 132. The adjacent wave crests between the first support unit 131 and the second support unit 132 are connected to form a first connecting portion 133. Figure 7 As shown, the wave crest 131 a of the first supporting unit 131 and the wave crest 132 a of the second supporting unit 132 are adjacent to each other and connected to form a first connecting portion 133 .

[0043] Among them, the annular wavy structure of the first support unit 131 and the second support unit 132 can adopt multiple V-shaped components arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction, the opening directions of two adjacent V-shaped components are the same, and multiple V-shaped structural parts are connected end to end in sequence, but not limited to this. For example, multiple U-shaped components or other shapes can also be used.

[0044] The number of first connection parts 133 formed between adjacent first support units 131 and second support units 132 can be one, two, three, etc. The more the number of first connection parts 133 is, the stronger the support performance of the wall-attached bracket 1 is, but the compliance performance is reduced. The number of first connection parts 133 between adjacent first support units 131 and second support units 132 is determined according to the design requirements of the support performance and compliance performance of the wall-attached bracket 1.

[0045] Through the above arrangement, the flexibility and fatigue resistance of the wall-adhering stent 1 are improved. Under the premise of low stimulation to the blood vessel 300, the wall-adhering effect of the wall-adhering stent 1 is enhanced to adapt to the requirements of the curved blood vessel 300 and the active blood vessel 300 for the wall-adhering stent 1.

[0046] In one embodiment, the first connection parts 133 in two adjacent annular directions of the wall-attached bracket body 13 are staggered. In the two adjacent annular directions of the wall-attached bracket body 13, there are two rows of first connection parts 133, and the first connection parts 133 in the two rows are staggered. In the same row, the distance between two adjacent first connection parts 133 is equal, but this is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments, the distance between two adjacent first connection parts 133 may also be unequal.

[0047] In one embodiment, the wave crests between the first support unit 131 and the second support unit 132 located at the proximal end and adjacent to each other correspond to each other and are connected to form a second connection portion 134, so that the proximal end of the wall-attached stent body 13 is a closed loop structure. The second connection portion 134 is a strip-shaped structure, and the second connection portion 134 extends along the axial direction, but is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments, the second connection portion 134 may also form a certain angle with the axial direction.

[0048] In one embodiment, the wave crests between the first support unit 131 and the second support unit 132 located at the distal end and adjacent to each other correspond to each other and are connected to form a third connection portion 135, so that the distal end of the wall-attached stent body 13 is a closed loop structure. The third connection portion 135 is a strip-shaped structure, and the third connection portion 135 extends along the axial direction, but is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments, the third connection portion 135 may also form a certain angle with the axial direction.

[0049] In one embodiment, the material of the wall-attached stent 1 can be nickel-titanium alloy. The nickel-titanium alloy stent has a shape memory effect and can maintain elastic deformation under large deformation. The wall-attached stent 1 made of nickel-titanium alloy is compressed and transported to the blood vessel 300. When the wall-attached stent 1 reaches the phase change temperature, the shape memory effect of the stent is induced, causing it to automatically expand and deform to the release size. After being implanted, the wall-attached stent 1 is also affected by the contraction pulsation of the inner wall of the blood vessel 300. Therefore, under the interaction force between the wall-attached stent 1 and the inner wall of the blood vessel 300, the wall-attached stent 1 can be firmly anchored on the inner wall of the blood vessel 300.

[0050] In one embodiment, a second developing member 136 is provided on the wall-attached stent body 13. The second developing member 136 is arranged on at least one of the proximal end, the middle side position and the distal end of the wall-attached stent body 13. Specifically, by arranging the second developing member 136 at the middle side position of the wall-attached stent body 13, which middle side position can be on the outer common edge of the wall-attached stent body 13, the developing area of ​​the wall-attached stent body 13 can be as large as possible, so as to improve the accuracy of the release or recovery position of the wall-attached stent body 13, thereby improving the surgical efficiency and increasing the safety of the surgery. In order to further improve the developing property of the wall-attached stent body 13, the second developing member 136 can also be arranged on the proximal end and the distal end of the wall-attached stent body 13.

[0051] In one embodiment, a biocompatible film is provided on the outer surface of the wall-attached stent 1. The outer surface of the biocompatible film is closer to the local structure of the blood vessel 300, which is more conducive to protecting the blood vessel 300. In this embodiment, the biocompatible film also has a certain elasticity, so that the wall-attached stent 1 combined with the biocompatible film can better abut against the blood vessel 300 to anchor in a designated position, avoiding the problem of movement of the wall-attached stent 1 during surgery. In addition, the provision of the biocompatible film closes the gap between the wall-attached stent 1 and the inner wall of the blood vessel 300, further reducing the chance of thrombus 301 escaping from the gap between the wall-attached stent 1 and the inner wall of the blood vessel 300.

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the distal end of the delivery guide wire 2 is provided with an elastic end 21. The elastic end 21 is a soft structure, so that the delivery guide wire 2 reduces the damage to the blood vessel 300 when it moves in the blood vessel 300. Further, the elastic end 21 can be a developing spring, and the developing spring can be wound with one or more of platinum iridium wire, platinum tungsten wire, and tungsten gold wire materials, so as to facilitate the display of the real-time position of the delivery guide wire 2, but it is not limited to this. For example, the elastic end 21 can also be made of other materials with good biocompatibility, certain elasticity or softness.

[0053] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, there is a filtering gap 5 between the first intercepting filter 3 and the second intercepting filter 4. After the wall-attached support 1 expands and opens and drives the first intercepting filter 3 and the second intercepting filter 4 to open, the first intercepting filter 3 and the second intercepting filter 4 are spaced apart and form a filtering gap 5, so that when the blood passing through the first intercepting filter 3 is filtered by the second intercepting filter 4, the thrombus 301 or plaque still existing in the blood can be intercepted and retained in the filtering gap 5, which is conducive to ensuring the normal passage of blood and is not prone to blood blockage, perfusion or turbulence. In addition, if there are large thrombi 301 or plaques, after being captured by the first interception filter 3, the first interception filter 3 can cut the large thrombi 301 or plaques into small pieces under the action of blood flow impact power, and the small thrombi 301 or plaques are finally intercepted by the second interception filter 4. In this way, the thrombi 301 are intercepted in layers, which also reduces the interception burden of the first interception filter 3 or the second interception filter 4, and is less likely to cause the problem of blocking bleeding, thereby improving the effect of the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4 in filtering thrombi 301 or plaques. Please refer to Figures 1 to 4In one embodiment, the proximal end of the first interception filter 3 is an open structure, and the distal end of the first interception filter 3 is a closed structure. Specifically, the second interception filter 4 is a conical structure, and the diameter of the second interception filter 4 gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end. The conical design allows the inclined filter structure used to reduce the impact strength of the blood flow containing the thrombus 301 during the interception process, and the filtered thrombus 301 with a larger particle size will accumulate around the second interception filter 4, which can effectively avoid the blockage of the second interception filter 4, which is conducive to improving the effect of the first interception filter 3 filtering the thrombus 301 or plaque.

[0054] In one embodiment, the area of ​​each first filter hole 31 gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end of the first interception filter 3, which is beneficial to improving the effect of the first interception filter 3 in filtering thrombus 301 or plaque.

[0055] In one embodiment, the proximal end of the second intercepting filter 4 is an open structure, and the distal end of the second intercepting filter 4 is a closed structure. In order to facilitate the development of the distal position of the second intercepting filter 4 during surgery, a third developing member 42 is provided at the closed structure. By providing the third developing member 42, the distal position of the second intercepting filter 4 can be developed during surgery, so that the doctor can observe and understand the distal position of the second intercepting filter 4. Specifically, the second intercepting filter 4 is a conical structure, and the diameter of the second intercepting filter 4 gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end, which is conducive to improving the effect of the second intercepting filter 4 in filtering thrombi 301 or plaques.

[0056] In one embodiment, the area of ​​each second filter hole 41 gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end of the second interception filter 4, which is beneficial to improving the effect of the second interception filter 4 in filtering thrombus 301 or plaque.

[0057] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the second filter hole 41 is smaller than that of the first filter hole 31. The large thrombus 301 or plaque is first filtered through the first interception filter 3, and the small thrombus 301 or plaque passes through the first filter hole 31 and enters the filter gap 5 between the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4. The small thrombus 301 or plaque can be filtered by the second filter hole 41 and stay in the filter gap 5 between the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4. By filtering the thrombus 301 or plaque in layers, the filtering effect is improved, and the interception pressure of the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4 can also be reduced, thereby reducing the phenomenon of blocking bleeding.

[0058] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, the proximal end of the second intercepting filter net 4 is flush with the proximal end of the first intercepting filter net 3 .

[0059] See also Figures 1 to 4In one embodiment, the first interception filter 3 is a polymer filter, and the second interception filter 4 is a metal filter or a combination filter of a metal skeleton 43 and a polymer filter membrane 44. The first interception filter 3 located in the inner layer is a polymer filter. Compared with metal weaving, under the same pore size, the diameter of the polymer filter after folding is smaller, and the expansion force on the blood vessel 300 after opening is smaller. The second interception filter 4 located in the outer layer has a certain mechanical strength by using a combination filter of a metal filter or a metal skeleton 43 and a polymer filter membrane 44. When the second interception filter 4 in the outer layer is expanded and opened, it can drive the first interception filter 3 in the inner layer to expand and open.

[0060] In one embodiment, the metal material of the second intercepting filter 4 is nickel-titanium alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy or stainless steel, so as to improve the convenience of connection with the metal wall-attached bracket 1. In other embodiments, the second intercepting filter 4 can also be integrally formed with the wall-attached bracket 1.

[0061] In one embodiment, the surfaces of the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4 are provided with a porcine intestinal mucosal heparin coating. By providing the porcine intestinal mucosal heparin coating on the surfaces of the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4, it is ensured that the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4 remain in an open state during deployment, and the fitting area between the second interception filter 4 and the wall of the blood vessel 300 is increased, so that emboli with a larger diameter can be captured, and it is also helpful to maintain the patency of the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4, avoid the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4 from being blocked, and improve the efficiency of capturing thrombi 301 or plaques in the blood vessel 300.

[0062] In one embodiment, the surfaces of the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4 are provided with a water-soluble antispasmodic drug coating, which can reduce the risk of intraoperative spasm of the carotid artery 300. The water-soluble antispasmodic drug coating can be a coating such as atropine, papaverine hydrochloride, heparin, etc.

[0063] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the delivery guidewire 2 is provided with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating, thereby increasing the lubricity of the delivery guidewire 2, improving the smoothness of the delivery guidewire 2 when pushed in the delivery catheter, and reducing the damage caused by the delivery guidewire 2 to the blood vessel.

[0064] In one embodiment, a scale line is provided at the proximal end of the delivery guide wire 2 to facilitate the doctor to understand the length of the delivery guide wire 2 pushed.

[0065] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9The present invention also provides an embolic protection system 200, which includes a delivery catheter 201 and the above-mentioned double-layer embolic protection device 100. A delivery channel 201a is provided in the delivery catheter 201. The double-layer embolic protection device 100 can be slidably disposed in the delivery channel 201a, and the inner wall of the delivery channel 201a can accommodate the wall-attached stent 1. Since the wall-attached stent 1 is connected to the delivery guide wire 2 through the gathering member 12, the flexibility of the wall-attached stent 1 and the distal ends of the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4 are slidably connected to the delivery guide wire 2. When the delivery catheter 201 compresses the double-layer embolic protection device 100, the wall-attached stent 1 will be gathered toward the center of the delivery guide wire, and the distal ends of the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4 will extend and gather toward the distal end of the delivery guide wire. When the delivery catheter is separated from the double-layer embolic protection device 100, the wall-attached stent 1 automatically expands and deforms to a release size due to its shape memory effect, and the wall-attached stent 1 is released and opens, driving the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4 to open.

[0066] See also Figures 10 to 12 In one embodiment, the embolic protection system 200 further includes a retrieval catheter 202, in which a retrieval channel 202a is provided, and the double-layer embolic protection device 100 is selectively slidably disposed in one of the retrieval channel 202a and the delivery channel 201a.

[0067] See also Figures 10 to 12 In one embodiment, the distal end of the recovery catheter 202 has an enlarged opening 202a1 to facilitate guiding the double-layer embolic protection device 100 during recovery and to squeeze the wall-adherent stent 1, so that the double-layer embolic protection device 100 can be quickly and effectively recovered into the recovery channel 202a of the recovery catheter 202. In addition, when there are too many thrombi 301 or plaques intercepted by the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4, only the wall-adherent stent 1 can enter the recovery catheter 202, so as to avoid leakage of thrombi 301 or plaques due to forced recovery of the double-layer embolic protection device 100.

[0068] Please continue reading Figures 10 to 12The delivery catheter 201 is connected to the recovery catheter 202 in an integral manner or in a split manner. When one end of the delivery catheter 201 is connected to one end of the recovery catheter 202, the connection between the delivery catheter 201 and the recovery catheter 202 forms an intermediate connection section 203. The delivery catheter 201 is provided with a delivery hole 201b near the intermediate connection section 203. The delivery hole 201b provides a delivery entrance for the double-layer embolic protection device 100. The delivery catheter 201 is provided with a guide wire exchange port 201c at a position away from the intermediate connection section 203. The guide wire exchange port 201c is used for the guide wire 400 to pass. The recovery catheter 202 is provided with a recovery hole 202b near the intermediate connection section 203. The recovery hole 202b is used for the recovery of the double-layer embolic protection device 100.

[0069] See also Figures 8 to 12 The specific working principle of the embolic protection system 200 of the present invention is as follows:

[0070] Delivery steps: First, insert the rear end of the delivery guide wire 2 into the delivery catheter 201 from the front end of the delivery catheter 201 and pass through the delivery hole 201b of the delivery catheter 201. Hold the delivery catheter 201 and pull the rear end of the delivery guide wire 2 until the double-layer embolic protection device 100 is completely pulled into the delivery catheter 201, and the distal end of the double-layer embolic protection device 100 is located at the rear side of the guide wire exchange port 201c; then insert the guide wire 400 from the guide wire exchange port 201c into the interior of the delivery catheter 201, and the front end of the guide wire 400 passes through the front end of the delivery catheter 201; then slowly push the delivery catheter 201 and the guide wire into the human body. 400, ensure that the guide wire 400 delivers the delivery catheter 201 to the distal end of the affected area. After reaching the distal end of the affected area, withdraw the guide wire 400, hold the delivery guide wire 2, and withdraw the delivery catheter 201, thereby releasing the double-layer embolic protection device 100, and the wall-attached stent 1 is released and opened, and drives the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4 to open. At this time, the delivery guide wire 2 can be used to place a stent or catheter to treat the affected area. During the treatment, the double-layer embolic protection device 100 in the open state intercepts and filters the thrombus 301 or plaque in the blood to prevent the thrombus 301 or plaque from entering the downstream blood vessel 300 and causing downstream tissue necrosis.

[0071] Recovering step: After the treatment of the affected area is completed and the related treatment accessories are withdrawn, the rear end of the delivery guide wire 2 is inserted into the recovery catheter 202 from the front end of the recovery catheter 202, and the rear end of the delivery guide wire 2 is passed out from the recovery hole 202b, and the recovery catheter 202 is slowly pushed forward, so that the double-layer embolic protection device 100 intercepted with the thrombus 301 or plaque is gradually compressed and covered in the recovery catheter 202, and then the delivery guide wire 2 and the recovery catheter 202 are withdrawn from the blood vessel 300 together, thereby achieving the purpose of recovering the double-layer embolic protection device 100.

[0072] In summary, the embolic protection system 200 of the present invention has a double-layer embolic protection device 100. The double-layer embolic protection device 100 is provided with a first interception filter 3 and a second interception filter 4 at the distal end of the wall-attached stent 1, and the second interception filter 4 is arranged on the outside of the wall-attached stent 1. During use, the double-layer embolic protection device 100 is released through the delivery channel 201a of the delivery catheter 201, and the wall-attached stent 1 of the double-layer embolic protection device 100 can be expanded and opened, and drive the first interception filter 3 and the second interception filter 4 to open, so that the double-layer embolic protection device 100 filters the blood at a designated position; wherein, the wall-attached stent 1 can abut against the inner wall of the blood vessel 300, thereby being anchored at a targeted position on the inner wall of the blood vessel 300, and the wall-attached stent 1 and the blood vessel The radial supporting force formed between the inner walls of 300 can ensure that the wall-attached stent 1 is firmly positioned on the inner wall of the blood vessel 300 without damaging the blood vessel 300, thereby preventing the thrombus 301 or plaque from flowing from the gap between the wall-attached stent 1 and the inner wall of the blood vessel 300 to the distal end of the blood vessel 300. Therefore, the probability of thrombus 301 or plaque escape is very low; the blood passes through the accommodating space 11 of the wall-attached stent 1, the first filter hole 31 of the first interception filter net 3 and the second filter hole 41 of the second interception filter net 4 in sequence, and thus flows to the downstream of the blood vessel 300, thereby achieving the purpose of double interception and filtration of the thrombus 301 or plaque in the blood, reducing the phenomenon of blocking bleeding, achieving the effect of effectively filtering the thrombus 301 or plaque, and preventing the thrombus 301 or plaque from flowing to the downstream of the blood vessel 300.
