[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, an artificial blood vessel dedicated to dialysis patients includes an arterial branch 1, a venous branch 2 and a puncture needle 7. The arterial branch 1 is connected to the artery, and the venous branch 2 is connected to the vein. The arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2 are arranged in an X-shaped structure. The arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2 include an inlet tube 3, a thin branch 4 and an outlet tube 5. The two ends of the thin branch 4 are fixedly connected to the inlet tube 3 and the outlet tube 5 respectively. The diameter of the thin branch 4 is smaller than that of the inlet tube 3 and the outlet tube 5. A penetrating membrane 6 is provided between the arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2. The outer portion of the penetrating membrane 6 matches the adjacent thin branch 4. A side hole 8 is opened on the puncture needle 7. The puncture needle 7 passes through the arterial branch 1, the penetrating membrane 6 and the venous branch 2 in sequence. The puncture needle 7 is used to connect the arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, the X-shaped structure prevents interference between the arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2, ensuring smoother blood flow and preventing blind ends. This ensures normal blood flow within the vessels and prevents blood clots and thrombi. When a patient requires dialysis, under DSA imaging, a puncture needle 7 passes through the venous branch 2, penetrates the membrane 6, and enters the arterial branch 1. Arterial blood in the arterial branch 1 enters through the needle tip of the puncture needle 7. The arterial blood then enters the venous branch 2, increasing its flow rate. Arterial blood in the inlet tube 3 of the arterial branch 1 flows through the side hole 8 into the venous branch 2, forming an arteriovenous blood pathway. Because the diameter of the branch tube 5 is smaller than that of the inlet tube 3 and outlet tube 4, the change in diameter increases the blood flow rate, significantly increasing blood flow within the pathway. The arteriovenous blood is then withdrawn through the artificial blood vessel into the dialysis machine, where waste products and excess fluid are removed. The clean blood is then reintroduced into the venous branch 2, achieving more complete blood purification and completing the entire dialysis process.

[0024] As an implementation method, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, arc grooves corresponding to the arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2 are respectively opened on both sides of the penetrating membrane 6, and the inside of the penetrating membrane 6 includes a matrix 10, an anticoagulant layer 11, and a material layer 9 composed from the inside to the outside.

[0025] In this embodiment, the arc grooves on both sides of the penetrating membrane 6 are matched with the arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2, so that the penetrating membrane 6 and the arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2 form an integrated artificial blood vessel. The combination of the matrix 10, the anticoagulant layer 11 and the material layer 9 inside the penetrating membrane 6 makes it easy to re-form a thin film to block the arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2 after puncture by the puncture needle 7.

[0026] As an implementation method, Figure 3 As shown, the material layer 9 is made of the same material as the arterial branch tube 1 and the venous branch tube 2 , and the exterior of the material layer 9 is a porous structure.

[0027] In this embodiment, a penetrating membrane 6 is used to connect the biocompatible materials in the arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2, thereby improving the compatibility between the arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2 in the artificial blood vessel and the human tissue, thereby preventing rejection, and the porous structure of the material layer 9 is conducive to cell penetration and tissue regeneration.

[0028] As an implementation method, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the anticoagulation layer 11 is one or more of polyvinyl alcohol, polycaprolactone, and chitosan, and the interior of the matrix 10 is composed of microcapsules, in which polymer precursors or repair agents are arranged.

[0029] In this embodiment, the microcapsules in the matrix 10 are used. When the microcapsules are punctured by the puncture needle 7, they will rupture and release chemical substances. These chemical substances will react chemically in the damaged area to form new compounds to fill the damage and automatically repair it. The puncture needle 7 avoids fixed-point puncture during dialysis. The anticoagulant layer 11 promotes blood vessel healing while preventing the rapid formation of blood clots after puncture.

[0030] As an implementation method, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the interior of the arterial branch tube 1 and the venous branch tube 2 is composed of one or more of polylactic acid, polyvinyl alcohol-based poly or acrylonitrile fiber.

[0031] This embodiment utilizes the good biocompatibility and degradation properties of polylactic acid, polyvinyl alcohol-based poly or acrylonitrile fibers to promote the growth and healing of vascular endothelial cells, thereby making the constructed arterial branch 1 and venous branch 2 have good biocompatibility and mechanical properties.

[0032] As an implementation method, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the inlet pipe 3, the thin branch pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 5 are an integrated structure, and the diameter of the inlet pipe 3 is the same as that of the outlet pipe 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, an integrated inlet tube 3, a thin branch tube 4 and an outlet tube 5 are used. In normal human blood, the arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2 do not interfere with each other, and the X-shaped structure allows blood to flow more smoothly, avoiding blind ends in the blood vessels and ensuring normal blood circulation in the blood vessels.

[0034] As an implementation method, Figure 4 As shown, the puncture needle 7 is tilted relative to the center of the penetration membrane 6, and the tilt angle of the puncture needle 7 is less than 60 degrees.

[0035] In this embodiment, when a patient needs dialysis, under manual intervention, an external device drives the puncture needle 7 through the venous branch 2, penetrates the membrane 6, and enters the interior of the arterial branch 1, forming a vascular pathway. The smaller inclination angle cooperates with the vascular pathway to avoid damaging blood vessels or tissues, reducing pain and damage.

[0036] Among them, the puncture needle 7 is provided with puncture marking points corresponding to the penetration membrane 6. After the needle head of the puncture needle 7 penetrates the penetration membrane 6, the two groups of side holes 8 on the puncture needle 7 are respectively connected to the arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2 to form a vascular pathway.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, the whole device is implanted in the patient's arm, the arterial branch 1 is connected to the artery, and the venous branch 2 is connected to the vein. When the patient needs dialysis, it is developed under the DSA device. Under artificial intervention, the puncture needle 7 is used to penetrate the membrane 6 through the venous branch 2 and enter the arterial branch 1. The arterial blood inside the arterial branch 1 enters through the needle head of the puncture needle 7 and flows into the venous branch 2 from the side hole 8, forming a vascular pathway and forming arteriovenous blood; at this time, when the arterial blood inside the inlet tube 3 in the arterial branch 1 enters, since the diameter of the thin branch 5 is smaller than that of the inlet tube 3 and the outlet tube 4, the blood flow rate increases with the change of the tube diameter. At the same time, the blood flow rate of the venous branch 2 also increases with the change of the tube diameter, thereby making the blood The blood flow in the tube pathway is significantly increased, and the flow of arterial blood into the venous branch 2 through the puncture needle 7 is increased, ensuring the high flow rate required for dialysis treatment; the arterial and venous blood is then drawn out into the dialysis machine through the artificial blood vessel, and the waste and excess fluid in the patient's blood are removed. After that, the clean blood is re-injected into the venous branch 2, and the blood purification is more sufficient to complete the entire dialysis; after dialysis, the puncture needle 7 is removed, and the design of the penetrating membrane 6 allows the penetrating membrane 6 to automatically repair. In normal human blood, the arterial branch 1 and the venous branch 2 do not interfere with each other. The X-shaped structure is used to set up a smoother blood flow, avoiding blind ends in the blood vessels, ensuring the normal circulation of blood in the blood vessels, and preventing blood clots, thrombi, etc.
