Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an integrated atrioventricular valve. Background Art

[0002] Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a complex disease that can lead to debilitation and even death. In the early stages of the disease, the heart suffers muscle damage and shifts the load to the remaining healthy muscle. To compensate for this defect, the heart actively reshapes itself geometrically, which increases the load and pressure, causing further damage and forming a vicious cycle.

[0003] Mitral regurgitation associated with CHF is called functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). When the mitral valve ring dilates, the valve leaflets can no longer coapt, and blood leaks or flows back into the atrium during contraction. The heart has to pump blood more frequently than usual to offset the amount of blood leakage or return in order to maintain normal cardiac output, but this will undoubtedly increase the workload of the heart. The heart is under excessive pressure, resulting in muscle damage and aggravating congestive heart failure.

[0004] Mitral regurgitation is the most common mitral valve disease. There are usually two treatment options for patients with mitral regurgitation: repair and replacement. Generally, repair is the first and best option. However, in fact, many dysfunctional valves cannot achieve the expected treatment effect through repair. In this case, mitral valve replacement surgery is required.

[0005] However, at present, double-layer artificial heart valves containing inner and outer frames generally have a high probability of aortic obstruction after implantation due to the overall high height of the valve frame. At the same time, artificial heart valves containing inner and outer double-layer stents also have a large height difference and large gap between the inner and outer frames, which leads to blood turbulence and paravalvular leakage between the height difference of the inner and outer frames of the artificial heart valve.

[0041] The inner skirt 11 is circumferentially attached to the inner surface of the inner petal frame 1, and the outer skirt 21 is circumferentially attached to the outer surface of the outer petal frame 2. A plurality of suture matching holes 1 111 are equidistantly arranged on one side of the inner skirt 11. An inner hole 211 is arranged at the center of the surface of the outer skirt 21, a plurality of suture matching holes 3 2111 are equidistantly arranged around the edge of the inner hole 211, and a plurality of suture matching holes 2 212 are equidistantly arranged around the outer side of the inner hole 211, and a plurality of suture matching holes 2 212 are arranged on the surface of the outer skirt 21. The plurality of suture matching holes 1 111, the plurality of suture matching holes 3 2111, and the plurality of suture matching holes 2 212 are connected by sutures through holes to form a buffer zone 3. A plurality of pleated cavities 31 are circumferentially arranged on the surface of the buffer zone 3, and the plurality of pleated cavities 31 are arranged between the plurality of suture matching holes 3 2111 and the plurality of suture matching holes 2 212. A plurality of arm suture reserved openings 213 are arranged around the outer side of the outer skirt 21, and a plurality of suture matching holes 212 are arranged between the plurality of suture matching holes 3 2111 and the plurality of arm suture reserved openings 213. An opening 4 is formed at the perforated connection between the plurality of suture matching holes 1 111 on the inner skirt 11 and the plurality of suture matching holes 3 2111 on the outer skirt 21. The diameter of the suture matching hole 212 is greater than the diameter of the suture matching hole 3 2111, and the diameter of the suture matching hole 3 2111 is greater than the diameter of the suture matching hole 1 111. The inner skirt 11 adopts a parallelogram inner skirt, and the outer skirt 21 adopts a circular fan-shaped outer skirt. The inner skirt 11 adopts a PET inner skirt, and the outer skirt 21 adopts a PET outer skirt.

[0042] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the outer skirt 21 is formed by splicing eighteen small pieces of flexible material, or may be formed by splicing six small pieces of flexible material or nine small pieces of flexible material.

[0043] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the inner skirt 11 and the outer skirt 21 are both made of flexible materials. In addition to PET materials, other suitable materials such as silicone, polybutadiene, polyurethane, polyester, nylon, and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene can also be used.

[0047] In the utility model, the diameter of the second suture matching hole 212 is set to be larger than the diameter of the first suture matching hole 111 and the diameter of the third suture matching hole 2111, so that an opening 4 is formed at the edge of the inflow end 8 where the inner skirt 11 and the outer skirt 21 are connected. When the leaflet 5 is opened, the flow of antegrade blood can be slowed down through the opening 4, allowing blood to enter the pleat cavity 31, further promoting blood coagulation and tissue growth, thereby preventing leakage around the valve.

[0048] In the utility model, the buffer belt 3 containing the pleated cavity 31 is provided to make the inner valve frame 1 and the outer valve frame 2 fit closely, eliminate the blood turbulence caused by the height difference between the inner valve frame 1 and the outer valve frame 2, and optimize the blood fluid dynamics.

[0049] In the present invention, an outer skirt 21 and an inner skirt 11 are provided, and sutures are passed through the suture holes on the outer skirt 21 and the inner skirt 11 to connect the outer skirt 21 and the inner skirt 11 into an integrated skirt to enhance the connection strength. The overall height of the inner and outer valve frames on the atrioventricular valve of the present invention can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall compressed diameter of the atrioventricular valve of the present invention after being gripped by the gripper, thereby reducing the risk of aortic obstruction after implantation.
