Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices for heart valve repair, and in particular to a streamlined and emptied regurgitant heart valve delivery device and a precisely bendable regurgitant heart valve delivery system. Background Art

[0002] The heart consists of two chambers and two ventricles. The mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve and pulmonary valve separate the chambers and the heart from the outside. The four valves act as one-way valves, allowing blood in the heart to flow in a predetermined direction but not in the opposite direction.

[0003] The aortic valve connects the left ventricle and the aorta. When the left ventricle expands, the aortic valve is closed, and when the left ventricle contracts, the aortic valve is open. The oxygenated blood in the left ventricle is pumped into the aorta by the systolic pressure, and the oxygenated blood is delivered to all parts of the body through the aorta. Since the systolic pressure is high when the heart contracts, generally reaching 120 mmHg, and even as high as 150 mmHg in patients with hypertension, and the aortic valve is located in a special position, close to the mitral valve ring, for patients with aortic regurgitation, it is necessary to consider the fixation of the regurgitant valve and avoid affecting the normal operation of other valves.

[0004] Traditional aortic valve replacement is a method of establishing extracorporeal circulation by inserting a catheter into the aorta and right atrium through a midline incision in the chest. However, traditional surgical operations cause great damage to patients and take a long time to recover. Especially for elderly patients, it is difficult for them to bear the damage caused by traditional surgical operations. As transcatheter surgery has many advantages such as less trauma and faster recovery, more and more surgeries are being performed through transcatheter surgery. The research on aortic valve replacement has also gradually shifted from early surgical methods to transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

[0005] Transcatheter surgery requires a heart valve delivery device, and the movement of the heart valve is mainly controlled by the pipes installed in the heart valve delivery device, and the pipes need to be emptied before entering the body. Generally, there are several emptying ports if there are several pipes. For example, CN114831674A is a delivery device for an atrial shunt, and its pipes include a delivery catheter and a guide catheter, and are provided with a first emptying portion and a second emptying portion for emptying the two pipelines. However, there are many pipes in the heart valve delivery device, generally including at least four catheters. If each catheter is provided with an emptying portion, the use of the delivery device will remain unchanged. In view of the above problems, it is hoped that a streamlined emptying regurgitant heart valve delivery device can be provided for easy use. Utility Model Content

[0103] Example 1

[0104] See also Figures 1 to 16 The present embodiment provides a simplified emptying regurgitant heart valve delivery device, including a delivery device handle 6, which includes a handle housing 40, a valve delivery tube assembly connected to the handle housing 40, and an outer sheath tube assembly disposed in the handle housing 40. The handle housing 40 is provided with a control line knob 60 connected to the outer sheath tube assembly, and the control line knob 60 is provided with a through hole 610 for external connection to the emptying device; the outer sheath tube assembly includes an outer sheath tube 5 sleeved outside the valve delivery tube assembly and an outer sheath tube fixing member 412 fixed in the handle housing, the outer sheath tube fixing member 412 includes an outer sheath tube plugging hole 201 and an emptying connection port 203 provided with a penetrating outer sheath tube fixing member 412, the outer sheath tube plugging hole 201 is plugged with the outer sheath tube 5, and the through hole 610 is connected with the emptying connection port 203.

[0105] Among them, the through hole 610 of the control line knob 60 is externally connected to an emptying device, for example, a Luer connector is connected, through which it can be connected to an external syringe or other injection device. The outer sheath 5 can be emptied through the control line knob 60, and there is no need to set an emptying component separately on the outer sheath 5.

[0106] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned wire control knob 60 is also used to connect the pull wire. Fig.11 and 12 The outer sheath 5 is provided with a plurality of wire pulling channels 501, one end of the external wire pulling is connected to the heart valve, and the other end passes through the wire pulling channel 501 and is connected to the wire control knob 60. That is, by integrating multiple functions into one component, the number of conveyor components is significantly reduced, and the operation is more convenient.

[0107] In a preferred embodiment, the line control knob 60 includes a line control nut 604, a line control washer 602 and a line control bolt 601, and a through hole 610 penetrates the line control nut 604, the line control washer 602 and the line control bolt 601; the line control washer 602 is arranged between the line control bolt and the line control nut 604, the line control nut 604 is screwed with the line control bolt 601, and the through hole 610 extends outward to form a cylindrical pull wire outlet 605 for external emptying syringe. Among them, the cylindrical pull wire outlet 605 is used to connect an external syringe, and use physiological saline or the like to replace the air in the outer sheath tube 5 to realize the emptying of the outer sheath tube 5. One component integrates multiple functions, which significantly reduces the number of conveyor components and makes the operation simpler.

[0108] More specifically, the wire control knob is provided with a through hole which passes through the wire control nut 604, the wire control washer 602 and the wire control bolt 601 for allowing the pulling wire to pass through, and the wire control knob controls the squeezing force of the wire control washer located between the threadedly connected wire control nut 604 and the wire control bolt 601 to control the tension of the pulling wire, thereby assisting in controlling the pulling speed of the pulling wire to avoid external force pulling the pulling wire too fast, and the operation is convenient.

[0109] In one specific embodiment, see Figures 5 to 9 , the line control nut 604 includes a threaded sleeve 608 and a pressing sleeve 607 arranged in the threaded sleeve 608.

The threaded sleeve 608 is screwed to the line control bolt 601, and the pressing sleeve 607 presses the upper end of the line control washer 602. Specifically, the line control nut 604 is a double sleeve structure that is mutually sleeved, including a pressing sleeve 607 and a threaded sleeve 608. The line control bolt 601 is a hollow structure, and a stepped hole 606 is arranged inside. More specifically, the line control bolt 601 includes a bolt portion, a stop ring 609 and an insertion portion from top to bottom, the bolt portion is screwed to the threaded sleeve 608, and the stop ring 609 is used as the end point of the screw connection. That is, the upper periphery of the line-controlling bolt 601 is provided with an external thread, and the threaded sleeve 608 is provided with an internal thread. The line-controlling bolt 601 and the threaded sleeve 608 are connected by external threads and internal threads. When the line-controlling bolt 601 and the threaded sleeve 608 are connected, the pressing sleeve 607 presses the line-controlling washer 602 toward the stepped hole 602, so that the line-controlling washer 602 tightens the pull wire therein, and controls the tightening force or locking force of the line-controlling washer 602 on the pull wire through the tightening degree of the internal and external threads. The purpose of setting the stop ring 609 is to avoid excessive squeezing of the line-controlling washer when the line-controlling bolt 601 and the threaded sleeve 608 are screwed together, or even damage the line-controlling knob 60. The inner wall of the threaded sleeve 608 is provided with a limiting groove, and the stop ring 609 can abut against the limiting groove to limit the axial movement distance of the line-controlling bolt 601 and the threaded sleeve 608.

[0110] Regarding the preferred setting of the wire control washer: 1. The material of the wire control washer 602 is an elastic material, which has deformation characteristics, such as rubber material. The wire control washer 602 can squeeze the wire by controlling the screwing distance between the wire control nut 604 and the wire control bolt 601. 2. The wire control washer 602 is a hollow cylindrical structure, including a middle ring and two end rings located on both sides of the middle ring, and the outer diameter of the middle ring is smaller than the outer diameters of the two end rings. That is, when the wire control washer 602 is squeezed, the middle ring moves radially toward its center to tighten the wire located therein.

Specifically, the control line sealing ring 603 is located in the control line washer 602 and faces the side of the control line nut 604. The control line sealing ring 603 is a hollow inverted boss structure, which plays a role in assisting the fixing of the pull wire and sealing. Specifically, the upper part of the control line sealing ring 603 is flush with the upper part of the control line washer 602, and the lower part of the control line washer 602 abuts on the stepped hole 606.

[0113] In a preferred embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer sheath tube fixing part 412 is arranged at the distal end of the conveyor handle 6. The function of the outer sheath tube fixing part 412 is to limit the axial movement of the outer sheath tube 5 so that it maintains a relatively static state with the second handle shell 42. Therefore, a fixing hole 413 or a protrusion is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer sheath tube fixing part 412, and a protrusion or a fixing hole that cooperates with the fixing hole 413 or the protrusion is provided on the inner surface of the second handle shell 42.

The outer circumference of the first cylindrical fixing block 82 matches the inner circumference of the handle housing 40 to increase the contact area between the two. When the cylindrical fixing block 82 moves axially along the handle housing 40, the movement is smoother and there is no shaking, thereby improving the accuracy of valve control. The design of the inner tube plug-in section 81 can correspondingly extend the contact area and contact length between the inner tube connector 402 and the inner tube 1, improve the centrality of the inner tube 1, and reduce the risk of the valve not being released due to the bending or even bending of the inner tube 1 during the axial movement of the inner tube 1.

[0118] More specifically, the distal release structure also includes an inner tube threaded guide 84 arranged on the inner tube connector 402 and a distal release knob 600 threadedly connected to the inner tube threaded guide 84; the handle shell 40 is provided with an inner tube movable guide groove, the inner tube connector 402 is arranged in the handle shell 40, and the inner tube threaded guide 84 can be movably arranged in the inner tube movable guide groove.

[0119] More specifically, a first limiting column 414 is provided in the handle housing 40, which is located at the distal end of the inner tube movement guide groove and is used to limit the movement end point of the inner tube connector 402, that is, the first limiting column 414 is provided near the distal end of the inner tube connector 402, and the first limiting column 414 and the handle housing 40 jointly form a movement space of the inner tube connector 402 to ultimately limit the axial movement distance of the inner tube 1. That is, the inner tube movement guide groove and the first limiting column 414 jointly ensure the stability of the inner tube movement.

[0120] More specifically, an inner tube emptying tube 401 is provided at the proximal end of the inner tube connector 402, which is used to inject physiological saline to expel the air in the inner tube. Specifically, a through hole is provided in the middle portion of the inner tube connector 402, and the distal end of the inner tube emptying tube 401 passes through the through hole and is connected with the inner tube 1 inside the cylindrical fixed block 82. When operating the conveyor, physiological saline or the like is injected into the inner tube emptying tube 401 to expel the air in the inner tube. For example, the inner tube emptying tube 401 is connected to a Luer connector, through which it can be connected to an external syringe or other injection device.

[0121] In a preferred embodiment, referring to 3, 13 and 15, the valve fixing structure includes a middle tube connector 403 fixedly arranged in the handle housing 40, the middle tube 2 is connected to the middle tube connector 403, and the evacuation passage 701 is passed through the middle tube connector 403 and communicated with the inner tube 1. Specifically, referring to Fig.15 The middle tube connector 403 includes a hollow middle tube plug-in section 51 and a third cylindrical fixing block 52. The outer circumference of the third cylindrical fixing block 52 matches the inner circumference of the handle housing 40. The middle tube 2 is plugged into the middle tube plug-in section 51. More specifically, see Fig.15 The middle tube connector 403 also includes a middle tube connection sealing cover 53. The middle tube plug-in section 51 and the middle tube connection sealing cover 53 are respectively connected to the distal end and the proximal end of the third cylindrical fixing block 52. The middle tube connection sealing cover 53 plays a good sealing role.

[0122] As Fig.13 and 15 As shown, the middle tube plug section 51 has a certain length, which can correspondingly extend the contact area and contact length between the middle tube connector 403 and the middle tube 2, and keep the position of the middle tube 2 relative to the handle housing 40 unique and stable. Therefore, the following structural settings are made to facilitate stability: Specifically, refer to Fig.15 The third cylindrical fixing block 52 is provided with at least one insertion hole 54, and a plug pin that matches the insertion hole 54 is provided on the inner side of the handle housing 40. The plug pin is inserted into the insertion hole 54 to limit the axial position of the middle pipe connector 403 to maintain relative stillness with the handle housing 40. More specifically, refer to Fig.15 The outer periphery of the middle pipe inserting section 51 is provided with a radial rib 55, and one end of the rib 55 is connected to the third cylindrical fixing block 52. The radial rib 55 plays a role of further fixing.

Specifically, the proximal release structure is substantially the same as the distal release structure, the outer tube connector 405 includes a hollow outer tube plug-in section 91 and a second cylindrical fixing block 92, the outer periphery of the second cylindrical fixing block 92 matches the inner periphery of the handle housing 40, the outer tube is plugged into the outer tube plug-in section 91, and the outer periphery of the second cylindrical fixing block 92 is provided with an outer tube threaded guide 94, and the outer tube threaded guide 94 passes through the outer tube moving guide groove and is threadedly connected to the proximal release knob 500. The second cylindrical fixing block 92 is provided so that it can fit with the handle housing 40 to increase the contact area between the two. When the second cylindrical fixing block 92 moves axially along the handle housing 40, the movement is more stable and there is no shaking, thereby improving the accuracy of valve control. The design of the outer tube plug section 91 can correspondingly extend the contact area and contact length between the outer tube connector 405 and the outer tube 3, improve the centrality of the outer tube 3, and reduce the risk of the valve not being released due to bending or even folding of the inner tube during axial movement of the outer tube 31.

[0124] See also Fig.16 The outer tube plug section 91 is provided with a reinforcing rib 95 on the outside. The reinforcing rib 95 gradually increases in radial direction from the distal end to the proximal end until it is connected to the inner side wall of the second cylindrical fixing block 92. More specifically, see Fig.19The outer tube connector 405 further includes an outer tube connection sealing cover 93. The outer tube plug section 91 and the outer tube connection sealing cover 93 are respectively connected to the distal end and the proximal end of the second cylindrical fixing block 92. The outer tube connection sealing cover 93 plays a good sealing role. It is worth noting that the proximal release structure is basically the same as the distal release structure, and the specific structures of the two can refer to each other.

The improvement is that, referring to Fig.17 and 18 A middle-inner tube passage 120 connecting the middle tube 2 and the inner tube 1 is provided between the middle tube 2 and the inner tube 1, that is, the emptying passage 701 serves as a common emptying port for the middle tube 2 and the inner tube 1. Preferably, the middle-inner tube passage 120 is arranged near the proximal end of the middle tube 2.

[0127] Generally, the saline solution for emptying is sucked from the far end of the pipeline to the proximal end of the pipeline to empty the pipeline. Therefore, it is more preferred that a middle inner tube passage 120 is opened at the very end of the middle tube 2 to ensure that the saline solution for emptying can completely fill the middle tube 2 to ensure that there is no air dead corner in the middle tube 2.

[0128] In a preferred embodiment, a middle-outer tube passage connecting the middle tube 2 and the outer tube 3 is provided between the middle tube 2 and the outer tube 3, that is, the emptying passage 701 is used as a common emptying port of the outer tube, the middle tube 2, and the inner tube 1. Preferably, the middle-outer tube passage is provided near the proximal end of the outer tube 3. As above, more preferably, the middle-outer tube passage is provided at the very end of the outer tube to ensure that the saline used for emptying can completely fill the outer tube 3, so as to ensure that there is no dead corner of air in the outer tube 3.

[0129] Example 3

[0130] See also Fig.18 Or 19, the valve delivery tube assembly also includes a reinforcing tube 7, which is sleeved outside the middle tube 2, and the distal end of the reinforcing tube 7 is sleeved into the outer tube 3, and a middle-strong tube passage 801 connecting the reinforcing tube 7 and the middle tube 2 is provided between the reinforcing tube 7 and the middle tube 2, and a middle-inner tube passage 120 connecting the middle tube 2 and the inner tube 1 is provided between the middle tube 2 and the inner tube 1.

Finally, the middle-inner tube passage 120 cooperates with the reinforcing tube 7 to realize that the outer tube 3, the middle tube 2 and the inner tube 1 can share the emptying passage 701. Preferably, the middle-inner tube passage 120 is arranged near the proximal end of the middle tube 1, and the middle-strong tube passage 801 is arranged near the proximal end of the reinforcing tube to ensure that the saline used for emptying can completely fill the middle tube 2 and the reinforcing tube 7, so as to ensure that there is no air dead corner in the middle tube 2 and the reinforcing tube 7. In addition, the reinforcing tube 7 can also play the role of reinforcing pipe fittings.
