Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to an inlaid branch type aortic covered stent system with a preselected branch artery type. Background Art

[0002] Thoracic aortic aneurysm or acute aortic syndrome (aortic intramural hematoma, aortic penetrating ulcer, aortic dissection) is a relatively dangerous disease in the fields of vascular surgery and cardiovascular surgery, often requiring surgical treatment. For some diseases, the affected range is distal to the left subclavian artery, and endovascular surgery can be performed by implanting a thoracic aortic covered stent. Compared with the open surgical method, it has the advantages of less trauma, low perioperative mortality, and rapid recovery. In recent years, more and more doctors and patients have chosen to use thoracic aortic covered stent implantation for treatment. For some diseases that involve the supra-aortic arterial branch vessels, in these cases, the successful development of aortic branch reconstruction technology can expand the surgical indications of the total endovascular repair technology.

[0003] For thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection involving the supra-aortic arteries, a "fenestrated stent graft" is used to implant a stent graft in such patients, that is, a main stent is implanted in the thoracic aorta, a fenestration structure is opened in the main stent, and a branch stent is installed in the fenestration structure to lead to the branch vessel. The stent graft implanted for endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection involves the reconstruction of the innominate artery, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery vessels.

[0004] In the prior art, after the main stent is implanted into the arterial vessel, it is necessary to repeat the implantation of the branch stent. Before implanting the branch stent, it is necessary to guide the branch guide wire through the fenestration structure of the main stent into the branch vessel, and then guide the branch stent through the fenestration structure of the main stent to the branch vessel through the branch guide wire.

[0005] However, it is very difficult to guide the branch guide wire to the branch vessel. The reason is that the branch guide wire first has to pass through the fenestration structure of the main stent, and then the tip of the branch guide wire is superselected into the branch vessel. In most cases, the fenestration position of the main stent and the branch vessel are not necessarily in the same plane, which makes these two consecutive superselection steps face huge challenges. How to effectively reduce the difficulty of the branch guide wire reaching the branch vessel through the fenestration structure is a problem that current medical staff and medical R & D personnel must jointly solve.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to design an inlaid branch type aortic covered stent system with a preselected branch artery type. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a preselected branch artery type embedded branch aortic covered stent system to solve the problem that it is very difficult to guide the branch guide wire to reach the branch blood vessel through the fenestration structure in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides a preselected branch artery type embedded branch aortic covered stent system, including an aortic covered stent and a delivery structure;

[0009] The aortic covered stent includes a main stent and three embedded branch stents. The main stent and the three embedded branch stents are both composed of a stent body with an annular structure and a film; the embedded branch stents are arranged inside the main stent; three fenestrations are arranged on the peritoneal region of the main stent, and the three fenestrations respectively correspond to the innominate artery, the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery. One ends of the three embedded branch stents are respectively embedded and connected to the inner sides of the three fenestrations of the main stent;

[0010] The delivery structure includes a sheath, a core wire, a Tip head, and three guiding catheters. The other ends of the embedded branch stents are all connected with guiding catheters for the guide wire to pass through; the connection between the embedded branch stent and the guiding catheter is detachable; the distal end of the core wire is connected to the Tip head, the main stent is sleeved outside the core wire, and the sheath is sleeved outside the main stent, the core wire, and the three guiding catheters; a groove is provided at one end of the sheath close to the Tip head;

[0011] The three fenestrations on the main stent are all arranged at positions corresponding to the groove of the sheath.

[0012] In a specific embodiment, the length of the embedded branch stent is 2 cm.

[0013] In a specific embodiment, the two sides of the groove of the sheath are parallel to each other.

[0014] In a specific embodiment, the connection between the embedded branch stent and the guiding catheter is achieved by connecting with multiple contact points.

[0015] In a specific embodiment, the delivery structure further includes a handle, and the handle is connected to the end of the sheath away from the Tip head.

[0016] In a specific embodiment, three guide wire holes are provided on the handle, and the three guide wire holes are respectively connected to the three guiding catheters.

[0017] In a specific embodiment, the diameter of the guiding catheter is 1.5 mm.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The utility model solves the problem that it is very difficult to guide the branch guide wire to reach the branch blood vessel through the fenestration structure.

[0020] By using the utility model, the work of guiding the wire through the fenestration structure of the main stent can be completed outside the body, greatly reducing the operation difficulty of doctors, indirectly shortening the operation time, thereby improving the operation success rate and reducing the operation risk.

[0021] The guiding catheter of the utility model forms a track for the wire to pass through, enabling the entire aortic covered stent to enter the appropriate position along the wire, reducing the difficulty of the entire operation.

[0022] In addition to the purposes, features and advantages described above, the utility model has other purposes, features and advantages. The following will refer to the drawings to further elaborate on the utility model in detail. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0035] The three fenestrations 111 on the main stent 11 are all arranged at positions corresponding to the groove 211 of the sheath 21.

[0036] The length of the embedded branched stent 12 is 2 cm.

[0037] The two sides of the groove 211 of the sheath 21 are parallel to each other.

[0038] The embedded branched stent 12 and the guiding catheter 24 are connected by a manner of being connected with multiple contact points.
