Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a venous stent assembly and a venous stent system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Currently, minimally invasive therapy is mainly used in the clinical treatment of venous compression syndrome and venous stenosis or occlusion caused by venous thrombosis, mainly by implanting a venous stent. The main role of the stent after implantation is to maintain the early blood vessel lumen, and when the flow-limiting dissection heals or the lumen remodeling is established, the continuous existence of the stent in the blood vessel becomes an unfavorable factor affecting the patency of the lumen. Common stents are metal stents and are difficult to recover, and long-term retention in the venous blood vessel can cause complications such as venous thrombosis and venous occlusion again, and the existing metal stent can cause damage to the blood vessel wall when it is recovered and moved. The absorbable stent can avoid the problem of long-term retention of the stent, but due to the reasons of material performance, the stability of blood vessel expansion and the treatment period are difficult to control, and the early treatment effect is not as good as that of the metal stent, and it cannot be used in the clinic within a certain period of time.
[0003] In view of this, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a new type of recoverable venous stent assembly and venous stent system.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows:
[0006] The present application provides a venous stent assembly, which comprises a covered stent and an annular capsule sleeved on the covered stent.
[0007] Specifically, the covered stent is a self-expanding hollow tubular structure with open ends, which has a radial expansion state and a radial contraction state. The annular capsule comprises an annular capsule body, a limiting member, a protective film and a retention tube, the annular capsule body is a hollow tubular structure with open ends, the inside of which is a medium injection space, the annular capsule body has an expansion state and a contraction state, the protective film is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the annular body, a containing cavity is formed between the outer surface of the annular capsule body and the inner surface of the protective film, the limiting member is located in the containing cavity and movably sleeved on the annular capsule body, the limiting member has a radial expansion state and a radial contraction state, the retention tube is in communication with the inside of the annular capsule body, and the retention tube is used for injecting medium into the inside of the annular capsule body or removing the medium in the inside of the annular capsule body.

[0093] In particular, as Figures 1 to 14As shown, the venous stent assembly comprises a covered stent 11 and an annular capsule 12 sleeved on the covered stent 11. In the embodiment, the covered stent 11 is a self-expanding hollow tubular structure with open ends, which has a radially expanded state and a radially contracted state. The covered stent 11 comprises a self-expanding stent 111 and a covering 112, the self-expanding stent 111 comprises a plurality of self-expanding stent units arranged in the axial direction and independently arranged, and the covering 112 is fixedly connected with each self-expanding stent unit. The proximal end of the self-expanding stent unit at the proximal end of the covered stent 11 is in a bare state without covering, which is convenient for later recovery by a recovery hook. In the embodiment, the covering 112 comprises an inner covering arranged on the inner surface of the self-expanding stent 111 and an outer covering arranged on the outer surface of the self-expanding stent 111, and the inner covering and the outer covering are fixedly connected. In other embodiments, only the inner covering or the outer covering can be arranged. In the embodiment, the inner covering and the outer covering are connected together by heat melting, and form a "sandwich" structure with the self-expanding stent 111 clamped therebetween. In the embodiment, the self-expanding stent unit comprises a wave-shaped circular ring structure forming wave crests and wave troughs in the circumferential direction, the number of wave crests and wave troughs of each self-expanding stent unit is equal, and the diameters of different stent units in the expanded state are equal. In the embodiment, the self-expanding stent 111 is formed by laser cutting of a nickel-titanium alloy pipe and conventional heat treatment, electrochemical polishing and passivation process. The material of the covering 112 is expanded polytetrafluoroethylene. In the embodiment, the annular capsule 12 extends along the axial direction of the covered stent 11, and the proximal end of the covered stent 11 is in a bare state without covering and protruding from the proximal end of the annular capsule 12. The annular capsule 12 comprises an annular capsule body 121, a limiting member 122, a protective film 123 and a retention tube 124. The annular capsule body 121 is a hollow tubular structure with open ends, the inside of which is a medium injection space. The annular capsule body 121 has an expanded state and a contracted state. The protective film 123 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the annular body, and a containing cavity is formed between the outer surface of the annular capsule body 121 and the inner surface of the protective film 123. The limiting member 122 is located in the containing cavity and movably sleeved on the annular capsule body 121. The limiting member 122 has a radially expanded state and a radially contracted state. The retention tube 124 communicates with the inside of the annular capsule body 121, and is used for injecting medium into the inside of the annular capsule body 121 or extracting the medium in the inside of the annular capsule body 121. In the embodiment, the limiting member 122 is a metal wire spirally wound on the annular capsule body 121. The metal wire forms a spring-like structure, which is axially compressed while radially expanded, and is axially stretched while radially contracted. The metal wire has a preset maximum inner diameter, thereby being able to limit the maximum outer diameter of the annular capsule body 121 when it is expanded in the blood vessel. The material of the metal wire in the embodiment is nickel-titanium alloy.In the embodiment, the annular capsule body 121 is compliant, and is made of polyvinyl chloride; the protective film 123 is non-compliant or semi-compliant, and is made of polyethylene; the annular capsule body 121 can continuously increase with the continuous input of the medium, but the protective film 123, together with the limiting member 122, limits the increase of the outer diameter of the annular capsule body 121 when the outer diameter of the annular capsule 12 reaches the preset value, so that the outer diameter of the annular capsule 12 no longer continuously increases or increases at a smaller speed with the increase of the internal pressure of the annular capsule body 121. In the embodiment, the outer surface of the protective film 123 is further provided with a coating to increase the thickness of the protective film 123, and the coating is preferably formed of liquid silicone. In the embodiment, the material of the retention tube 124 is high-pressure-resistant thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. In the embodiment, the proximal end of the retention tube 124 is provided with a positioning clamp 161, which can not only fix the proximal end of the retention tube 124 at the patient access, but also cut off the communication between the annular capsule 12 and the external environment. In the embodiment, a degradable high-molecular coating for bonding the annular capsule 12 and the covered stent 11 is arranged between the inner surface of the annular capsule 12 and the outer surface of the covered stent 11, which can ensure that the covered stent 11 and the annular capsule 12 are not separated and unloaded during the early delivery of the venous stent assembly, and can be separated after the degradation of the degradable high-molecular coating, so as to facilitate the separate recovery. In the embodiment, the material of the high-molecular coating is hydroxyacetic acid copolymer.
[0094] Specifically, as shown in Figure 15 , the inside of the delivery catheter 13 is provided with a lumen extending from one end to the other end, and the distal end of the delivery catheter 13 is provided with a guide tip 131. The venous stent assembly is detachably sleeved on the distal end of the delivery catheter 13, and the guide tip is in a bare state protruding from the distal end of the venous stent assembly. In the embodiment, the distal end of the delivery catheter 13 is provided with a groove recessed inward from the outer surface, for accommodating the covered stent 11 in the radially contracted state.
[0095] Specifically, as shown in Figures 16 to 18As shown, the recovery assembly includes a recovery conduit 141 and a recovery hook, the recovery conduit 141 is a hollow tubular structure with both ends open, the inner diameter of the recovery conduit 141 is greater than the outer diameter of the covered stent 11 in the radial contraction state, the recovery hook is movably inserted in the recovery conduit 141, the recovery hook includes a push-pull tube 1421 extending along the length direction of the recovery conduit 141, and a hook 1423 capable of hooking the proximal end of the covered stent 11 arranged at the distal end of the push-pull tube 1421. In this embodiment, four extension rods 1422 uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the distal end of the push-pull tube 1421 are arranged, and the distal end of each extension rod 1422 is respectively provided with a hook 1423. When the extension rod 1422 extends out of the distal end of the recovery conduit 141, each extension rod 1422 respectively extends away from the axis direction of the push-pull tube 1421 from the proximal end to the distal end, the distal ends of the four extension rods 1422 are on the same circle, and the diameter of the circle is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the covered stent 11 in the radial expansion state, and each hook 1423 hooks the proximal end of the covered stent 11, thereby reducing the risk of falling off during the recovery of the covered stent 11.
[0096] Specifically, the venous stent system further includes an injection device, a suction device, a guide wire and a protective sheath 15. In this embodiment, the medium is air, the injection device is a pressure pump connected to the retention tube 124 through a two-way connector with a valve and a luer connector 162, and the suction device is a negative pressure device connected to the retention tube 124 through a two-way connector with a valve and a luer connector 162. In this embodiment, the protective sheath 15 is removably sleeved on the venous stent assembly before deployment.
[0097] The assembly method of part of the venous stent system of this embodiment before leaving the factory is: sleeving the annular capsule 12 in normal pressure state on the covered stent 11, then sleeving the covered stent 11 on the delivery conduit 13, adjusting the inside of the annular capsule body 121 to a negative pressure state (the negative pressure is not less than 0.0001 atm) using the suction device, adjusting the venous stent assembly to the first state, disconnecting the communication between the inside of the annular capsule body 121 and the outside environment by using the positioning clamp 161 to clamp the retention tube 124 or by other ways (such as tightening with a strap, knotting, connecting a luer connector 162, etc.), and sleeving the protective sheath 15.
[0098] In this embodiment, the venous stent assembly includes a first state, a second state and a third state. When the venous stent assembly is in the first state, the covered stent 11 and the limiting member 122 are both in a radially contracted state, the annular capsule body 121 is in a contracted state, and the interior of the annular capsule body 121 is under negative pressure. When the venous stent assembly is in the second state, the covered stent 11 and the limiting member 122 are both in a radially expanded state, the annular capsule body 121 is in a contracted state, and the interior of the annular capsule body 121 is under normal pressure. When the venous stent assembly is in the third state, the covered stent 11 is in a radially contracted state, the limiting member 122 is in a radially expanded state, the annular capsule body 121 is in an inflated state, and the interior of the annular capsule body 121 is under positive pressure.
[0099] As shown in FIG. 1, the method of using the venous stent system of this embodiment is as follows: Figures 19 to 27
[0100] (1) Remove the protective sheath 15, and guide the delivery catheter 13 into the venous vessel through the guide wire to send the covered stent 11 and the annular capsule 12 at the distal end of the delivery catheter 13 to the lesion site. During this process, under the action of the negative pressure in the interior of the annular capsule body 121 and the limiting member, the venous stent assembly is always in the first state.
[0101] (2) Make the interior of the annular capsule body 121 communicate with the external environment through the retention tube 124, and the interior of the annular capsule body 121 becomes a normal pressure state. The covered stent 11 expands and expands by itself, the limiting member 122 expands radially, and the venous stent assembly is converted to the second state.
[0102] (3) Withdraw the delivery catheter 13, and use the positioning clip 161 to position the retention tube 124 at the patient's access. The implantation of the venous stent assembly is completed, and the venous stent assembly is tightly attached to the vessel wall 7.
[0103] (4) When it is necessary to recover the venous stent assembly, guide the delivery catheter 13 into the lesion site through the guide wire, and the distal end of the delivery catheter 13 passes through the venous stent assembly. The retrieval assembly is sent along the delivery catheter 13, the push-pull tube 1421 is pushed to make the hook 1423 extend out of the retrieval catheter 141 and hook the proximal end of the covered stent 11.
[0104] (5) Deliver a medium to the interior of the annular capsule body 121 through the injection device to provide positive pressure (the positive pressure is not more than 12 atm) to make the annular capsule body 121 inflate and compress the covered stent 11 inward. The covered stent 11 is withdrawn into the retrieval catheter 141 by the retrieval hook.
[0105] (6) using the suction device to adjust the inside of the annular capsule body 121 to a negative pressure state again (the negative pressure is not less than 0.0001 atm), the annular capsule body 121 shrinks, and the limiting member shrinks radially to the annular capsule 12 to be closely attached to the delivery conduit 13, the negative pressure state is maintained and withdrawn from the body together with the recovery assembly.
