Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of venous stents, and more particularly to a venous stent with high anchoring stability. Background Art

[0002] Venous stents, particularly large venous stents, play a crucial role in treating venous disease, particularly in thicker veins. Without venous stents, lesions like venous stenosis can typically only be treated with medication or surgery, but maintaining long-term venous patency is often difficult. Venous stents, however, provide radial support for venous lesions and are therefore crucial for the treatment of vascular disease.

[0003] There are many locations of blood vessels in the human body, and they come in many shapes and sizes. Some venous diseases only require the placement of a single-segment venous stent. The surgical difficulty is relatively low, and the design of the venous stent is relatively easy. However, some blood vessels, such as the inferior vena cava, left common iliac vein, right common iliac vein, external iliac vein, and internal iliac vein, often have two blood vessels merging into one blood vessel, and the three are distributed in an inverted Y shape. If two of the blood vessels have lesions, and the lesions are located close to the intersection, the requirements for the stents needed are often higher, because different locations have different requirements for the radial support strength and flexibility of the stent. And for these large venous stents, the anchoring of the stent is also extremely important under the influence of blood flow after the stent is installed. Summary of the Invention

[0061] Working Principle: The venous stent of the present application consists of two separable parts: a first stent portion, a second stent portion, and a connecting portion, and a third stent portion and an anchoring portion. The first and second portions are separate. In some conditions, the first portion can be used alone. After the first portion is pushed into a desired location using a sheath (e.g., at the intersection of the inferior vena cava, left common iliac vein, and right common iliac vein, where positioning is achieved using a first developing ring, a second developing ring, and a first developing rod), the first stent portion is positioned within the inferior vena cava and the second stent portion within the left common iliac vein. As the first and second stent portions self-expand, the first and second barbs anchor to the inner wall of the vessel, further stabilizing the stent's position within the vessel. The first and second stent portions are connected by a connecting portion, with a first transition rod located at the intersection. This first transition rod provides greater connection flexibility while minimizing the impact of the intersection. The connection between the first and second stent portions enhances overall stability within the vessel.

[0062] If disease persists in other sections of the blood vessel where the second stent portion is located, the second portion can be released after the first portion. The third and fourth developing rings can be used to position the third stent portion. The second developing ring and third developing rod can be used to coordinate the positions of the second and third rods. As the third stent portion expands, each anchoring barb can be positioned between two adjacent second developing rods. Because there are a large number of second developing rods, the anchoring barbs can be easily inserted between two second developing rods and anchored to the inner wall of the blood vessel. Furthermore, because there are a large number of second developing rods, the relative position of the third stent portion and the second stent portion can be adjusted by selecting the insertion position of the second developing rods. As the third stent portion completes its self-expansion, the third and fourth barbs also anchor to the inner wall of the blood vessel. This allows the first, second, and third stent portions to form a single unit, further stabilizing their position within the blood vessel.

[0063] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with respect to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the claims.
