Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of implantable prostheses, and in particular to an expandable self-adhesive hollow tubular structure for treating blood vessels, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The cause of the most deaths from cardiovascular diseases is still coronary heart disease, which is mainly caused by atherosclerosis. The implementation of coronary artery intervention has greatly improved obstructive coronary artery lesions (atherosclerosis). At home and abroad, it has now developed into coronary artery intervention drug-eluting balloons and coronary artery intervention drug-eluting stents, but these interventional treatments still have certain limitations. Drug-eluting balloons have problems such as difficult control of local drug concentration, crystal embolism and poor long-term effectiveness; while the latest coronary artery stents reduce the occurrence of late and very late thrombotic events, but the incidence of in-stent restenosis remains at 5% to 10%, and patients need to take drugs for a long time. Therefore, exploring new coronary intervention treatment methods is of great significance to reducing the incidence of complications of coronary artery intervention and reducing subsequent treatment. In addition, after the current balloon stent is implanted in the blood vessel, the patient needs to take anticoagulants and other drugs for a long time, which has unnecessary harm to the patient's whole body. Therefore, exploring new, precisely positioned drug implantation treatment methods is of great significance to the improvement of interventional treatment.

[0003] In order to solve the current problems of intravascular restenosis and treatment of vascular lesions after coronary intervention, a multifunctional self-adhesive multilayer degradable drug-loaded expandable tubular membrane has been developed with a simple process and the advantages of the current new drug eluting balloon and drug eluting stent, providing a new solution for minimally invasive coronary intervention and clinical vascular precision drug treatment.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN202410738680.0 discloses a self-repairing vascular patch and its delivery system, which adopts a double balloon structure. The first balloon is used to block blood flow, and the patch is arranged outside the second balloon. The balloon and the patch have liquid outlet holes. The balloon expands after being delivered to the designated position. The adhesive in the second balloon is delivered to the space between the patch and the blood vessel wall through the liquid outlet hole, so as to achieve the adhesion between the blood vessel and the patch and achieve the purpose of blood vessel repair. The disadvantages of this invention are: (1) The delivery system needs to design a special balloon, including the first balloon and the second balloon, and the balloon surface is designed with holes and filled with liquid, and the balloon structure is complicated. (2) The adhesive in the delivery system cannot guarantee that it will not leak to other locations. The adhesive is in a liquid state. After the balloon expands and is injected from the liquid outlet hole, it cannot guarantee that the adhesive will only stay between the patch and the blood vessel wall. It may leak to the balloon surface, thereby sticking to the balloon, blood vessel and patch, affecting the surgical operation and actual effect.

[0005] Chinese invention patent CN201310572145.4 discloses a drug-coated balloon and its preparation method, and designs a multi-coated drug-coated balloon. By using a special double-layer balloon with micropores on the surface, a coating is applied to the surface of the balloon. After the balloon is delivered to the designated site, the micropores release liquid to dissolve the innermost coating layer, thereby separating the coating from the balloon. Finally, the outermost adhesive layer of the coating is used to adhere to the blood vessel wall to achieve adhesion of the coating to the blood vessel wall. The disadvantages of this invention are: (1) In order to separate the balloon from the coating, a hydrophilic coating and a balloon with a special structure are designed, and a special double-layer microporous balloon is used, resulting in a complex balloon structure. (2) The outermost layer of the balloon coating is an adhesive coating, which cannot be controlled to have adhesiveness only at the lesion site during balloon delivery. It will inevitably adhere to the blood vessels during delivery in the blood, causing difficulties in surgery.

[0006] Therefore, how to develop a hollow tubular structure with simple structure, expandable self-adhesion and anti-pollution to overcome the limitations of existing technologies and provide an effective way for minimally invasive coronary intervention and clinical vascular precision drug treatment is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

[0020] Furthermore, the microcapsule coating of the pressure-sensitive bioadhesive layer ruptures under the balloon expansion pressure to release the adhesive to adhere to the blood vessel wall.

[0021] Furthermore, the thickness of the hollow tubular structure is 20-300 μm, preferably 50 μm, which is achieved by adjusting the concentration of the organic solvent. The thickness of the hollow tubular structure after expansion by the balloon is 10-200 μm.

[0030] (b) vacuum drying the polyurethane prepolymer at 90-110° C. for 4-8 hours, preferably at 100° C., and preferably for 6 hours;

[0031] (c) preparing an aqueous solution containing a surfactant, heating it to 35-45° C., preferably a surfactant is Pluronic F-68 (block polyether F-68), and preferably heating it to 40° C.;

[0037] An application of the hollow tubular structure in interventional treatment of vascular lesions, such as vascular tumors, arterial inflammation, vascular damage and other lesions.

[0038] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0039] The present invention provides a hollow tubular repair structure adapted to an interventional balloon, which uses a three-layer composite membrane system to achieve therapeutic function integration: the outer layer is a pressure-sensitive bioadhesive layer, which triggers the rupture of microcapsules to release adhesives through balloon expansion, thereby achieving covalent bond binding with the blood vessel wall; the middle layer is an expandable drug-loaded support layer, which uses a degradable polymer as a carrier to encapsulate anti-proliferative drugs, provide mechanical support and continuously release drugs; the inner layer is an anti-fouling drug-loaded layer, which is loaded with anti-coagulation, anti-protein deposition and endothelial growth-promoting drugs to accelerate endothelial cell coverage. This structure is adapted to a standard interventional balloon, and after expansion, the diameter increases to 1.2-1.5 times and does not retract, and the balloon can be recovered after automatic separation.

[0040] After the hollow tubular structure of the present invention is expanded by balloon delivery, it has an ultra-thin feature, which is conducive to the endothelialization and degradation absorption of the implanted material, compared with the high thickness of the coronary stent to maintain mechanical properties. The outermost layer uses a pressure-sensitive bioadhesive layer in the form of microcapsules (microcapsules contain bioadhesives inside), which is not adhesive under normal conditions. After the balloon is expanded, the structure is compressed, and the microcapsules in the pressure-sensitive bioadhesive layer on the outer surface of the structure are broken to release the adhesive, thereby achieving the combination of the structure and the blood vessel wall.

[0041] Compared with existing vascular interventional devices, the present invention has the following innovations: (1) a uniform tubular membrane is prepared by dip-coating, replacing the complex weaving process of traditional stents, reducing costs and improving batch stability; (2) a drug-loaded hollow tubular structure is adopted, and the drug is carried by a degradable polymer. The drug-eluting balloon currently used in clinical practice only uses a mechanical embedding method to embed the drug into the inner wall of the blood vessel, which is washed by the blood flow and has problems such as difficult control of drug concentration, drug crystal shedding and embolism, and poor long-term effectiveness. The multifunctional tubular membrane prepared by the present invention can release drugs continuously, linearly and for a long time after being implanted in the lesion site, thereby reducing intimal hyperplasia and effectively reducing the incidence of restenosis; (3) After the hollow tubular structure is transported to the lesion site, it can realize accurate and low-dose release of drugs, which is safe and convenient compared to the large-dose regular drug administration after surgery of the current balloon stent; (4) It eliminates the risk of drug crystal shedding and solves the problem of blood flow flushing of drug-eluting balloons; the synergistic effect of dual drug sustained release significantly reduces the restenosis rate, and the degradation characteristics avoid the long-term complications of metal stents; no special modified balloon is required, and it is fully compatible with conventional interventional devices.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] Preparation of composite double-layer structures

[0053] (1) mixing and dissolving the heparin-modified polycaprolactone in chloroform to form a first polymer solution with a concentration of 4 wt %, and performing a degassing treatment;

[0054] (2) Use a solid bar as a mold and fix the solid bar with an electric rotating fixture;

[0055] (3) immersing the solid rod in the first polymer solution of step (2), performing dipping cycles twice, and naturally air-drying to form an inner layer structure, i.e., an antifouling drug-carrying layer, on the surface of the solid rod;

[0056] (4) dissolving the degradable polycaprolactone in tetrahydrofuran to obtain a second polymer solution having a concentration of 3 wt %, and performing a degassing treatment;

[0057] (5) The inner layer structure obtained in step (3) is dipped into the second polymer solution obtained in step (4), and naturally air-dried to obtain a composite double-layer structure having an antifouling drug-carrying layer and an expandable drug-carrying support layer, with a thickness of 30 μm and a thickness error of 10 μm. This structure does not have a bioadhesion function.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the dip coating in step (3) is cycled 3 times, the concentration of the second polymer solution in step (4) is 4 wt %, the thickness of the composite double-layer structure in step (5) is 50 μm, the thickness error is 10 μm, and the unmentioned parts are the same as in embodiment 1.

[0060] Example 3

[0061] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the concentration of the first polymer solution in step (1) is 5 wt %, the dip coating in step (3) is cycled 3 times, the thickness of the composite double-layer structure in step (5) is 80 μm, the thickness error is 20 μm, and the unmentioned parts are the same as in embodiment 1.

[0062] Example 4

[0063] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the concentration of the first polymer solution in step (1) is 5wt%, the dip coating in step (3) is cycled 3 times, the concentration of the second polymer solution in step (4) is 5wt%, the thickness of the composite double-layer structure in step (5) is 150μm, the thickness error is 20μm, and the unmentioned parts are the same as embodiment 1.

[0064] Example 5

[0065] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the concentration of the first polymer solution in step (1) is 8wt%, the dip coating in step (3) is cycled 3 times, the concentration of the second polymer solution in step (4) is 6wt%, the thickness of the composite double-layer structure in step (5) is 200μm, the thickness error is 20μm, and the unmentioned parts are the same as embodiment 1.

[0066] Example 6

[0067] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the concentration of the first polymer solution in step (1) is 8wt%, the dip coating in step (3) is cycled 3 times, the concentration of the second polymer solution in step (4) is 8wt%, the thickness of the composite double-layer structure in step (5) is 300μm, the thickness error is 20μm, and the unmentioned parts are the same as embodiment 1.

[0068] refer to Figure 1-6 , which shows the comparison of the composite double-layer structures prepared in Examples 1-6 before and after expansion. It can be seen that, under the condition of ensuring expansion without rupture, the tubular membrane with the smallest thickness is sought. Example 1 is the minimum thickness that can be achieved, but the tubular membrane of Example 1 has cracks and ruptures after expansion. In addition, since the thickness of Examples 5 and 6 is too large, the composite double-layer structure cannot be expanded by balloon pressure expansion. Figure 7 , which shows the stress-strain curve of polycaprolactone, a polymer material, which has excellent mechanical properties and can undergo plastic deformation. Therefore, the thickness of 50 μm in Example 2 is the best thickness that can be achieved.

[0069] Example 7

[0070] Preparation of hollow tubular structures

[0071] (1) mixing and dissolving the heparin-modified polycaprolactone in chloroform to form a first polymer solution with a concentration of 4 wt %, and performing a degassing treatment;

After reacting for 2 hours, the capsule suspension is rinsed with deionized water and vacuum filtered to obtain pressure-sensitive microcapsules with a core material of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate and a shell material of polyurethane, and the average diameter is 20-250 μm.
