TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical apparatus and instruments, and particularly relates to an arterial stent delivery device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Vascular endovascular intervention surgery, especially aortic endovascular stent repair (EVAR / TEVAR), is an important means of treating aortic diseases. This kind of surgery repairs aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection by placing a stent in the aorta, thereby avoiding the high risk of open or thoracotomy surgery and the long postoperative recovery time. However, these surgeries face a major challenge: how to isolate the lesion while preserving important branch blood vessels and maintaining their blood flow. The ex situ fenestration technique emerged as the times require, which enables surgeons to maintain the blood flow of key branch blood vessels such as the brachiocephalic trunk, left subclavian artery, left common carotid artery, celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, etc. by creating openings on the stent while placing the aortic stent. Although the ex situ fenestration technique greatly enhances the applicability and success rate of EVAR / TEVAR surgery, the accurate implementation of this technique still faces significant challenges.
[0003] The primary challenge lies in the precise positioning of the ex situ fenestration location. Due to the complexity of aortic anatomy and individual differences among patients, accurately positioning the entrance of branch blood vessels and performing ex situ fenestration on the corresponding location of the stent requires extremely high precision and operating skills. Current techniques mainly rely on image guidance and surgical experience, but these methods still have limitations. Current stent delivery systems lack effective visual markers to guide precise fenestration. Without direct guidance, the operator must rely on experience and speculation of the anatomical structure to determine the fenestration location, which not only increases the difficulty of the surgery but also increases the risk of postoperative complications.
[0004] Therefore, developing a device and method that can improve the accuracy of ex situ fenestration positioning is of great significance for improving the safety, effectiveness, and success rate of EVAR / TEVAR surgery. SUMMARY
