Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vascular stents, and particularly relates to an external vascular stent. Background Art

[0002] Patients in the end stage of kidney disease generally need to undergo frequent hemodialysis to remove toxins from the blood and maintain a proper internal balance. To effectively remove toxins, the blood must flow through the hemodialysis machine at a relatively large blood flow rate. This relatively large blood flow rate is optimally achieved by creating a permanent vascular access site that includes an arteriovenous (AV) anastomosis; among them, the vein is attached to the artery to form a large-flow shunt or fistula, which is usually called an AV fistula. Due to the excellent patency of the AV fistula, low complication rate, lower cost of the healthcare system, and low risk of patient death, it is widely used for hemodialysis vascular access.

[0003] When forming an AV fistula, usually the vein is directly attached to the artery, which may cause blood flow disorders at the arteriovenous anastomosis, or a sharp change in the blood pressure and blood circulation conditions on the venous side. This will generate excessive stress within the blood vessel walls of the arteriovenous anastomosis and the downstream vein, leading to pathological intimal hyperplasia and sometimes causing blockage, stenosis, etc.; to solve the above problems, an external vascular stent is proposed to be provided on the vascular anastomosis to alleviate the excessive blood flow change in the vein at the initial stage of anastomosis formation. However, the existing external vascular stent has a complex structure, is inconvenient to install, and cannot be properly installed and adjusted according to the conditions of the artery and vein. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an external vascular stent to solve the problems that the existing external vascular stent has a complex structure, is inconvenient to install, and cannot be properly installed and adjusted according to the conditions of the artery and vein.

[0013] Further, the hose clip ring includes an opening ring having a second opening and circumferentially arranged, and the opening ring is adapted to clamp the shaping hose located within the opening ring through its own elastic deformation.

[0014] Further, the hose clip ring is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the C-shaped clip ring along the circumferential direction of the C-shaped clip ring.

[0015] Further, a groove is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the C-shaped clip ring, the groove is arranged along the circumferential direction of the C-shaped clip ring, and the hose clip ring is slidably connected to the groove.

[0016] Further, the cross-section of the groove in the longitudinal direction of the C-shaped clip ring is an inverted T shape; the hose clip ring includes a slidable base and an opening ring integrally connected; the slidable base is slidably connected to the groove, and the cross-section of the slidable base in the longitudinal direction of the hose clip ring is the same as the cross-section of the groove in the longitudinal direction of the C-shaped clip ring; the second opening is provided on the opening ring, and the opening ring is a circumferentially arranged and elastic arc-shaped structure.

[0017] Further, multiple hose clip rings are provided on the outer periphery of the C-shaped clip ring, the number of shaping hoses is the same as the number of hose clip rings on the C-shaped clip ring, and each shaping hose is clamped and fixed inside one of the hose clip rings; the hose clip rings slide along the circumferential direction of the C-shaped clip ring to adjust the position distribution of the multiple shaping hoses on the outer periphery of the first blood vessel and the second blood vessel.

[0018] Further, there are at least four vascular clips, at least two of the vascular clips are adapted to clamp on the outer periphery of the first blood vessel, and at least two vascular clips are adapted to clamp on the outer periphery of the second blood vessel.

Detailed implementation manners

[0031] Next, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0033] As Figures 1 - 8 shown, an external blood vessel stent is mainly used for external support of blood vessels, especially for external support at the anastomosis of arterial blood vessels and venous blood vessels. The external blood vessel stent includes a plurality of blood vessel clamps and a shaping hose 3 connected between the plurality of blood vessel clamps; the blood vessel clamps include a C-shaped clamping ring 1 and a hose clamping ring 2 provided on the outer periphery of the C-shaped clamping ring 1.

[0034] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, there are four blood vessel clamps. Two of the blood vessel clamps are clamped on the outer periphery of the first blood vessel 100 adjacent to the anastomosis of the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200, and the other two blood vessel clamps are clamped on the outer periphery of the second blood vessel 200 adjacent to the anastomosis of the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200. The shaping hose 3 is connected between the four blood vessel clamps, and the shaping hose 3 can be bent arbitrarily in space and maintain the bent shape. Among them, the first blood vessel 100 is usually an arterial blood vessel, and the second blood vessel 200 is usually a venous blood vessel. An incision is provided on the wall of the first blood vessel 100, and the opening at one end of the second blood vessel 200 is sutured to the first blood vessel 100 and covers the incision on the first blood vessel 100, so that the blood flow upstream of the first blood vessel 100 can flow into the second blood vessel 200. The part of the first blood vessel 100 clamped by two blood vessel clamps is located upstream of the second blood vessel 200. Figure 1 The arrow direction in

[0035] In other alternative embodiments, the number of vascular clips is not limited to four, and the number of vascular clips can also be two, three or more. When the number of vascular clips is two, one vascular clip is clamped around the outer periphery of the first blood vessel 100, and the other vascular clip is clamped around the outer periphery of the second blood vessel 200. At this time, the vascular clip needs to have a relatively long length in its own axial direction so that the vascular clip can well restrain and fix the first blood vessel 100 or the second blood vessel 200. When the number of vascular clips is six, three of the vascular clips are clamped around the outer periphery of the first blood vessel 100, and the other three vascular clips are clamped around the outer periphery of the second blood vessel 200. The three vascular clips on the first blood vessel 100 are arranged at equal intervals, and the three vascular clips on the second blood vessel 200 are also arranged at equal intervals, so that the six vascular clips can better restrain and fix the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200.

[0036] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, three hose clip rings 2 are provided on the outer periphery of the C-shaped clip ring 1, and there are three shaped hoses 3. The number of the shaped hoses 3 is the same as the number of the hose clip rings 2 on the C-shaped clip ring 1. The three shaped hoses 3 are all connected between the four vascular clips, and the length directions of the three shaped hoses 3 are all arranged along the blood flow direction from the first blood vessel 100 to the second blood vessel 200. The three shaped hoses 3 are respectively clamped and fixed within the three hose clip rings 2 on the outer periphery of the C-shaped clip ring 1. The included angle between the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200 is bent and shaped along with the bending and shaping of the three shaped hoses 3. In some other alternative embodiments, the number of the hose clip rings 2 on the outer periphery of the C-shaped clip ring 1 can also be one, two or four or more; correspondingly, the number of the shaped hoses 3 can also be one, two or four or more.

[0037] In other alternative embodiments, the shaped hose 3 can also be fixed to the C-shaped clip ring 1 by other structures other than the hose clip ring 2. For example, a spring clip with a pair of semi-circular jaws is provided on the C-shaped clip ring 1. When the spring clip is pressed and opened, the shaped hose 3 can be inserted into the pair of semi-circular jaws of the spring clip; when the spring clip is released, the shaped hose 3 is clamped and fixed by the pair of semi-circular jaws.

[0038] In some embodiments, the shaped hose 3 is specifically a metal shaped hose, and the metal shaped hose has good bending and shaping ability and can shape the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200 in the bent shape.

[0039] When installing this extracorporeal blood vessel stent, first connect three shaping flexible tubes 3 in advance between four blood vessel clamps, and then clamp the four blood vessel clamps on the outer peripheries of the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200 respectively, thus completing the installation of the extracorporeal blood vessel stent on the outer peripheries of the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200. The installation is convenient and fast. Since the shaping flexible tube 3 can be bent arbitrarily in space and maintain the bent shape, after the installation of the extracorporeal blood vessel stent is completed, the operator can manually adjust the included angle between the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200 to a suitable angle. After the included angle between the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200 is adjusted in place, the shaping flexible tube 3 is fixed in the bent shape. At this time, the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200 are also fixed in the form after the angle adjustment by the shaping flexible tube 3, so that the angle adjustment and spatial shaping of the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200 within 360° can be achieved.

[0040] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the C-shaped clamping ring 1 is made of stainless steel material, and the C-shaped clamping ring 1 itself has elasticity. The C-shaped clamping ring 1 is suitable for clamping the first blood vessel 100 or the second blood vessel 200 located inside the C-shaped clamping ring 1 through its own elastic deformation. In some embodiments, the C-shaped clamping ring 1 includes a first arc-shaped bending main body with a first opening 101 and circumferentially arranged. The gap between the two ends of the first arc-shaped bending main body is the first opening 101. The blood vessel can be inserted into the C-shaped clamping ring 1 from the first opening 101 of the C-shaped clamping ring 1 after being pinched flat. When the C-shaped clamping ring 1 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the blood vessel, the existence of the first opening 101 allows the C-shaped clamping ring 1 to be radially expanded outward by the blood vessel. At this time, the first clamping cavity 103 inside the C-shaped clamping ring 1 increases, and the C-shaped clamping ring 1 has a tendency to radially contract inward under the elastic action of restoring its original shape, so as to clamp the blood vessel in the first clamping cavity 103.

[0041] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, three hose clamp rings 2 are slidably connected to the outer circumference of the C-shaped clamp ring 1 along the circumferential direction of the C-shaped clamp ring 1. A groove 102 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the C-shaped clamp ring 1, and the groove 102 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the C-shaped clamp ring 1. The hose clamp rings 2 are slidably connected to the groove 102. The three hose clamp rings 2 can slide within the groove 102 of the C-shaped clamp ring 1, allowing manual adjustment of the positions of the multiple hose clamp rings 2, and further adjusting the position distribution of the multiple shaping hoses 3 on the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200; enabling the multiple shaping hoses 3 to better shape the current shapes of the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200. In some alternative embodiments, a guide rail that protrudes outward and extends along the circumferential direction of the C-shaped clamp ring 1 can also be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the C-shaped clamp ring 1, and a chute that cooperates with the guide rail is provided within the hose clamp ring 2. The hose clamp ring 2 is slidably connected to the outer peripheral wall of the C-shaped clamp ring 1 through the cooperation of the chute and the guide rail.

[0042] As Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the cross-section of the groove 102 in the longitudinal direction of the C-shaped clamp ring 1 is an inverted T shape. The hose clamp ring 2 includes an integrally connected sliding base 21 and an opening ring 22; the sliding base 21 is slidably connected to the groove 102, and the cross-section of the sliding base 21 in the longitudinal direction of the hose clamp ring 2 is the same as the cross-section of the groove 102 in the longitudinal direction of the C-shaped clamp ring 1. With such a setting, on the basis of realizing the reliable connection between the hose clamp ring 2 and the C-shaped clamp ring 1, smooth sliding of the hose clamp ring 2 on the outer peripheral wall of the C-shaped clamp ring 1 can be achieved, facilitating adjustment of the position distribution of the hose clamp ring 2 and the shaping hose 3.

[0043] As Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the hose clamp ring 2 is also made of stainless steel material. The opening ring 22 of the hose clamp ring 2 has elasticity, and the opening ring 22 is adapted to clamp the shaping hose 3 located within the opening ring 22 through its own elastic deformation. The opening ring 22 includes a second arc-shaped bending main body that has a second opening 201 and is circumferentially arranged, and the gap between the two ends of the second arc-shaped bending main body is the second opening 201. When the opening ring 22 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the shaping hose 3, the existence of the second opening 201 allows the opening ring 22 to be radially outwardly expanded by the shaping hose 3. At this time, the second clamping cavity 202 within the opening ring 22 increases, and the opening ring 22 has a tendency to radially inwardly contract under the elastic action of restoring its original shape, thereby clamping the shaping hose 3 within the second clamping cavity 202.

[0044] During the operation of forming an arteriovenous fistula, a venous blood vessel is attached to an arterial blood vessel, and the openings of both are sutured to form an arteriovenous fistula tube; multiple C-shaped clamping rings 1 of the external vascular stent are respectively clamped on the arterial blood vessel and the venous blood vessel, and the installation of the external vascular stent is completed (the shaping hose 3 and the hose clamping ring 2 have been pre-assembled); since the hose clamping ring 2 can slide in the groove 102 of the C-shaped clamping ring 1, the positions of multiple hose clamping rings 2 can be manually adjusted, and then the position distribution of multiple shaping hoses 3 on the arterial blood vessel and the venous blood vessel can be adjusted. At the same time. Since the shaping hose 3 can be bent arbitrarily in space, the operator can manually adjust the angle between the arterial blood vessel and the venous blood vessel to a suitable angle and maintain the adjusted shape, so as to realize the arbitrary adjustment of the angle between the arterial blood vessel and the venous blood vessel.

[0045] In summary, for the external vascular stent provided by the present invention, since the shaping hose 3 can be bent arbitrarily in space and maintain the bent shape, after the external vascular stent is installed on the outer peripheries of the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200, the operator can manually adjust the angle between the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200 to a suitable angle. After the angle between the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200 is adjusted in place, the shaping hose 3 is fixed in the bent shape. At this time, the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200 are also fixed in the form after the angle adjustment by the shaping hose 3, so that the angle adjustment and spatial shaping within 360° of the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200 can be realized. In addition, since the hose clamping ring 2 can slide in the groove 102 of the C-shaped clamping ring 1, the positions of multiple hose clamping rings 2 can be manually adjusted, and then the position distribution of multiple shaping hoses 3 on the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200 can be adjusted, so that multiple shaping hoses 3 can better fix the current shapes of the first blood vessel 100 and the second blood vessel 200.

[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clear illustration and not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
