Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a closure system with a split support structure. Background Art
[0002] The foramen ovale is a physiological passageway in the atrial septum during the embryonic period. The fetus lacks pulmonary circulation, so oxygenated blood from the umbilical cord flows from the right atrium through the foramen ovale into the left atrium. After birth, as pulmonary circulation establishes, left atrial pressure increases, and the septum secundum and septum primum converge, fuse, and eventually form a permanent atrial septum. However, in some cases, this fusion still occurs, resulting in a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Traditionally, surgical treatment for a PFO is surgical. Surgical treatment requires a thoracotomy. The main disadvantages of surgery are: the need for extracorporeal circulation, the potential for complications and death, the high trauma and scarring, and the high cost. With the advancement of interventional technology, minimally invasive techniques for treating PFO have become highly established. Minimally invasive interventions offer advantages such as no surgery, minimal trauma, fewer complications, faster recovery, better results, a wide range of indications, and relatively low costs. However, these procedures often present challenges.
[0003] Patent CN202210863123.2 discloses a device for closing tissue, which completes the closure of the foramen ovale tissue by connecting a first support body and a second support body with a suture. However, this design still has the following defects: first, the shape of the lesion of each patient is different, and it is impossible to ensure that the first support rod and the second support rod are in close contact with the tissue. Moreover, since the support rod and the flow-blocking membrane cover each other, the support rod is a metal implant, which easily leaves a gap between the flow-blocking membrane and the cardiac tissue, which is not conducive to endothelialization. Second, the suture passes through the first connecting part and the second connecting part in a back-and-forth movement, and a suture passes through the secondary septum and the primary septum. It is extremely difficult to achieve this movement in such a small space. Moreover, the fitting of the disc-shaped first support body and the second support body is achieved by fixing the first connecting part and the second connecting part in the center. The fitting effect is worrying, and the middle fastening cannot ensure the close contact of the peripheral part, and the risk of bleeding is still very high.
[0004] In summary, the existing technology has the following problems that urgently need to be solved: first, the problem that the metal implant affects the adhesion between the flow-blocking membrane and the tissue; second, the operational difficulty of puncturing or suturing the secondary septal tissue and the primary septal tissue back and forth; and third, the problem that by fixing the center of the occluder disc, it is impossible to ensure that the peripheral part will not leak blood.

[0063] Further, the treatable indications of the capturing member include patent foramen ovale problems and atrial septal defect problems.
[0064] Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the present application has at least the following advantages:
[0065] 1. In the prior art, in order to achieve the closure of the foramen ovale tissue, a metal piece is often used for plugging or support, but the implantation of the metal piece will affect the fitting effect and cause adverse reactions, and the existing suture device usually needs to be passed back and forth multiple times, or needs to pass through the secondary septum and the primary septum tissue at the same time, which is difficult to operate and causes great damage to the tissue. The technical scheme of the present application solves the above problems. First, the present application designs a split support structure, which provides support for tissue puncture. The first delivery system and the second delivery system are arranged on the other side of the split support structure to abut against each other. At the same time, in order to reduce the influence of the metal implant, the support structure of the split support structure is removed from the body after completing the support function, and only the capturing member is left to fit the foramen ovale tissue. As a result, there is no metal implant or only a small amount of metal implant on the left atrial surface of the foramen ovale, which avoids adverse reactions caused by metal ions and promotes the process of endothelialization. On the other hand, since the first delivery system and the second delivery system pass through the two pieces of tissue to be closed respectively, i.e., pass through the secondary septum tissue and the primary septum tissue respectively, a pipe or element is not needed to pass through the secondary septum tissue and the primary septum tissue at the same time. The puncture action is simple and easy to implement, and the success rate of the operation is high.
[0066] 2. Different from the prior art, only the capturing member and the connecting member are left at the lesion site after implantation. Compared with the simple suture method, the left atrial surface covered by the capturing member is large, and the closure effect is good. Compared with the double-disc structure, the metal implant is extremely low, which is convenient for the patient to recover. Moreover, since the capturing member is made of flexible material, it has good compliance. On the other hand, if the patient's heart has other lesions, such as mitral regurgitation, the operator can still perform puncture through the atrial septum tissue, which does not affect the secondary intervention.
[0067] 3. Different from the prior art, the capture member is arranged on the left atrial surface, and the action point or fixed point of the capture member depends on the puncture position. The puncture position is controlled by the surgeon. The surgeon can select the puncture position according to the shape of the patient's foramen ovale, and can also decide the number of first connecting members and second connecting members to be delivered according to the surgical situation. The puncture point of the present application is generally selected at the center position of the secondary septal tissue and the primary septal tissue, and is fixed at at least two or three points, so that the capture member maintains a good fitting posture, which is better than the occlusion scheme of only suturing at the center and having only one fixed point. Therefore, the closure system of the present application can adapt to foramen ovale tissues of different shapes without excessively correcting the original morphology of the tissue, and is more humane.
[0068] 4. Different from the existing technology, the support structure includes radially arranged support rods. The advantages of this arrangement are: it does not occupy excessive space and will not interfere with the first puncture tube or the second puncture tube; and when the first connecting member or the second connecting member is connected to the capture member, the support structure will not interfere with the first connecting member or the second connecting member when it is retracted. The support structure and the capture member are separated naturally, and the release of the two is very convenient, which is convenient for the operator to operate.
[0069] 5. Different from the prior art, the traction assembly of the present application includes a channel adapter, which has a certain rigidity and can support the secondary septal tissue and the primary septal tissue at the same time during the operation. When the first puncture tube is punctured, it can cooperate with the support structure to better rest against the distal surface of the secondary septal tissue. When the second puncture tube is punctured, it plays the function of limiting and fixing the primary septal tissue, thereby ensuring the stable puncture of the primary septal tissue. In addition, the size of the channel adapter is smaller than that of the support structure after recovery, and will not expand the size of the recovered outer sheath.
[0070] 6. Different from the prior art, the capture member of the present application is an elastic membrane, which is in an expanded state when connected to the support structure. When the two are separated, the elastic membrane shrinks and tightens to restore to a preset shape. During the shrinkage process, it can assist the secondary septum and the primary septum tissue to approach or close, and the fitting and closing effects are good.
[0071] 7. Different from the existing technology, the support structure of the present application is arranged on the distal surface of the capture piece. This design enables the capture piece to completely fit with the foramen ovale tissue on the left atrial surface, ensuring the puncture effect. Puncture when the capture piece is in contact can ensure that the puncture point on the capture piece is not enlarged, and the puncture tube is also withdrawn very smoothly, which is convenient for improving the success rate of the operation.
[0072] 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 they can be anticipated and understood by those skilled in the art after reading this application.

[0090] One purpose of the embodiments described below is to address the above-mentioned drawbacks, as well as other problems. Example 1
[0091] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, a closing system with a split support structure 2 according to an embodiment of the present application is illustrated, comprising a support recovery system 1, a first conveying system 4 and a second conveying system 5, wherein the support recovery system 1 comprises a split support structure 2 and a pulling assembly 3, the split support structure 2 comprises a support structure 21 and a capture member 22, which are detachably connected, and the first conveying system 4 and the second conveying system 5 are configured to convey a first connecting member 41 and a second connecting member 51 respectively through two pieces of tissue to be closed, and the distal end of the first connecting member 41 and the distal end of the second connecting member 51 are connected to the capture member 22.
[0092] In the first embodiment, the support structure 21 supports the tissue to be closed when the first conveying system 4 and the second conveying system 5 pass through the tissue to be closed.
[0093] In the first embodiment, after the first connecting member 41 and the second connecting member 51 are connected to the capture member 22, the support structure 21 is separated from the capture member 22, and the pulling assembly 3 pulls the support structure 21 back out of the body. Figure 8 shown.
[0094] In the first embodiment, the support and recovery system 1 includes a recovery outer sheath 11 , and the split support structure 2 and the pulling assembly 3 are pre-installed in the recovery outer sheath 11 .
[0095] In this embodiment, the pulling assembly 3 includes a channel adapter 31 and a pulling member 32. The support structure 21, the channel adapter 31, and the pulling member 32 are arranged in sequence from the distal end to the proximal end; the channel adapter 31 is connected to the center of the support structure 21, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown.
[0096] In the first embodiment, the channel adapter 31 is movably connected to the support structure 21. This design facilitates the adaptation of the channel adapter 31 to the foramen ovale channel and the fit of the support structure 21 to the left atrial surface, thus providing strong adaptability.
[0097] In the first embodiment, the capture member 22 includes a first unit 221 and a second unit 222. The first unit 221 is disc-shaped, and the second unit 222 is ring-shaped.

[0104] In the first embodiment, the first delivery system 4 includes a resting structure 43, a first loading tube 44 and a first puncture tube 42. The first puncture tube 42 is pre-installed in the first loading tube 44. Moreover, the distal end of the first loading tube 44 is movably connected to the resting structure 43. Figures 3 to 5 shown.
[0105] In the first embodiment, the first loading tube 44 has a bending function, and a plurality of slits are provided on the surface of the first loading tube 44 .
[0106] In the first embodiment, the abutment structure 43 includes an elastic member 431 and a push rod 433. The distal end of the first loading tube 44 is provided with a fitting member 441. The distal end of the elastic member 431 is provided with an opening 432. The fitting member 441 is connected to the opening 432. The connection between the two is as follows: a metal connecting wire 434 is provided at the opening 432. The fitting member 441 passes through the metal connecting wire 434. Thus, the fitting member 441 can move relative to the opening 432. The distal end of the first loading tube 44 can be rotated to be perpendicular to the elastic member 431. Figure 16 shown.
[0107] In this embodiment 1, the first connecting member 41 includes a first vertical member 411 and a first pull wire 412, and the second connecting member 51 includes a second vertical member 511 and a second pull wire 512; and the first vertical member 411 and the second vertical member 511 are connected to the distal surface of the capture member 22 after implantation.

[0109] In the first embodiment, the first vertical member 411 and the second vertical member 511 are made of polymer material or metal material; and the hardness of the first vertical member 411 and the second vertical member 511 is greater than that of the first pull wire 412 and the second pull wire 512 .
[0110] In the first embodiment, a proximal locking system 6 is further included. The proximal locking system 6 includes a locking structure 61 and a cutting structure 62 .
[0111] In this embodiment 1, the locking structure 61 is used to fix the first connecting member 41 and the second connecting member 51 located at the proximal surface of the tissue to be closed, and the cutting structure 62 shears the first connecting member 41 and the second connecting member 51 located at the proximal end of the locking structure 61.
[0112] In the first embodiment, the locking structure 61 is in the shape of a bolt head. Figure 11 shown.

[0114] In the first embodiment, after the support structure 21 leaves the heart, pulling the first pulling member 412 and the second pulling member 512 can make the capture member 22 completely fit with the left atrial surface. Figure 9 As shown, the capture member 22 has good flexibility, which avoids the rigidity of the support structure 21 affecting the fit between the closing system and the left atrial surface, and when the proximal locking system 6 is tightened, the capture member 22 remains in a fitted state.
[0115] The exemplary operation process of the closed system of the first embodiment is as follows:
[0116] (1) Operate the support and retrieval system 1 through the femoral vein into the right atrium to the foramen ovale tissue, such as Figure 1 After the operation of the recovery sheath 11 releases the split support structure 2 in the left atrium, releases the traction assembly 3 in the foramen ovale channel and the right atrium, and then evacuates the recovery sheath 11, as Figure 2 As shown;
[0117] (2) Operate the first delivery system 4 and the second delivery system 5 to enter the right atrium, pull the pulling assembly 3 so that the support structure 21 and the split support structure 2 fit together with the left atrium surface, and then operate the push rod 433 to reach the target position, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown;
[0118] (3) Push the first loading tube 44 so that the elastic member 431 is in close contact with the proximal surface of the secondary septum until the distal end of the first loading tube 44 is perpendicular to the elastic member 431. Figure 4 As shown, the first puncture tube 42 is pushed to puncture the secondary septum and the first vertical member 411 is pushed out. Figure 5 As shown;
[0119] (4) Push the second puncture tube 52 to puncture the secondary septal tissue and push out the second vertical member 511, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown;
[0120] (5) Recover the first delivery system 4 and the second delivery system 5, and operate the recovery outer sheath 11 to enter the right atrium, such as Figure 7 Pull the pulling assembly 3 to recover the support structure 21, the capture member 22 remains in the left atrium, as Figure 8 As shown, and the first pull line 412 and the second pull line 512 are pulled, the capture member 22 is attached to the left atrial surface, and the secondary septal tissue and the primary septal tissue are closed, as shown. Figure 9 As shown;
[0121] (6) The proximal locking system 6 is operated to enter the right atrium along the first pull line 412 and the second pull line 512.
