[0030] In order to solve the problems in the background art, the present scheme provides an artificial blood vessel which can be quickly connected with blood vessels and has a stent support at the anastomotic port, so as to effectively reduce the stenosis at the anastomotic port.
[0031] As shown in Figures 1-5 An artificial blood vessel, comprising an artificial blood vessel body 1, an anastomosis area 2 is arranged at each end of the artificial blood vessel body 1, and the anastomosis area 2 is used for suturing with a blood vessel to be sutured, a buffer bin 3 is arranged on the artificial blood vessel at a position away from the anastomosis area 2 and the end of the artificial blood vessel, and the buffer bin 3 is used for buffering the pulsatile pressure of blood flow after the artificial blood vessel and the blood vessel to be sutured are sutured.
[0032] Specifically, the anastomosis area 2 is a part of the artificial blood vessel and belongs to the end position of the artificial blood vessel.
[0033] In the preferred scheme, a stent fixing member 4 is further connected at the anastomosis area 2, the stent fixing member 4 is used for guiding and positioning the position of the artificial blood vessel in the blood vessel to be sutured during the suturing process of the artificial blood vessel;
[0034] Specifically, the stent fixing member 4 comprises a plurality of expandable elastic rings 41 arranged in sequence, and each expandable elastic ring 41 can be coaxially arranged, a film 6 is arranged on the outer periphery of each expandable elastic ring 41 to cover each expandable elastic ring 41, and a pull wire is arranged on the film 6 and winds around the film 6 for multiple turns, the first end of the pull wire is connected to the film 6 at a position close to the artificial blood vessel, the pull wire is wound on the film 6 in a spiral manner from the starting point of the pull wire to the other end of the film 6, after winding to the other end of the film 6, the pull wire is drawn out from the other end of the film 6 along a straight line from the starting point of the pull wire on the film 6 to form a pull wire head 5, and the pull wire head 5 is located at a position close to the artificial blood vessel.
[0035] Specifically, the covering film 6 is connected to the inner wall of the blood vessel in the anastomosis area 2 of the artificial blood vessel, and a region for suturing is reserved. When suturing of the artificial blood vessel is needed, the pull line head 5 is pulled, at which time the pull line arranged on the covering film 6 is tightened, and the expandable elastic ring 41 is compressed. After the diameter of the support fixing member is reduced, the support fixing member is inserted into the blood vessel to be sutured, and after the pull line is loosened, the expandable elastic ring 41 automatically expands and is supported on the inner wall of the blood vessel, at which time the anastomosis area 2 is sutured with the blood vessel.
[0036] Optionally, a channel for winding and pulling the pull line is arranged on the covering film 6.
[0037] The channel can be a fine hole channel arranged in the covering film 6, and the fine hole channel is between the outer wall and the inner wall of the covering film 6, similar to a sandwich.
[0038] Specifically, the centers of the expandable elastic rings 41 are on the same straight line, and the planes on which the expandable elastic rings 41 are arranged are parallel to each other.
[0039] Optionally, the edges of the expandable elastic ring 41 are in the shape of a vertical wavy fold line or a wavy line. The wavy undulations are in the vertical direction. With such a structure, the expandable elastic ring 41 can be compressed and the diameter of the expandable elastic ring 41 can be reduced by pulling the pull line after the covering film 6.
[0040] Optionally, the buffer compartment 3 is arranged in the blood vessel wall of the artificial blood vessel, and the buffer compartment 3 is filled with elastic buffer elements 31. The buffer compartment 3 is adjacent to the anastomosis area 2 and is located at a position away from the end of the anastomosis area 2 of the artificial blood vessel.
[0041] As an example, the buffer compartment 3 is arranged in the blood vessel wall of the artificial blood vessel and is a ring-shaped cavity, and the ring-shaped cavity is filled with elastic buffer elements 31.
[0042] Optionally, the buffer compartment 3 is adjacent to the anastomosis area 2 and is located at a position away from the end of the anastomosis area 2 of the artificial blood vessel.
[0043] Optionally, the buffer elements 31 are in the shape of a wavy line. A plurality of wavy line-shaped buffer elements 31 are connected to the two side walls of the cavity, respectively.
[0044] Optionally, the buffer compartment 3 is a ring-shaped cavity, and the wavy-shaped buffer elements 31 are arranged in the cavity.
[0045] For example, the buffer element 31 can be wavy, with multiple wavy buffer elements 31, the crests and troughs of which are connected to the two side walls of the cavity. The cavity itself can provide some cushioning, and with the addition of the filling elastic element, the cushioning effect can be further improved.
[0046] The artificial blood vessel provided by this utility model has a membrane 6 at both ends of the stent that can fully fit with the autologous blood vessel after implantation, reducing blood flow instability caused by different connection angles, reducing turbulence during blood flow, reducing the probability of thrombosis, and ensuring long-term patency and anti-stenosis effect in the anastomosis area after implantation.
[0047] In the above approach, a stent is prepared near the anastomosis site to ensure a neat and flat anastomosis between the artificial and autologous blood vessels, reducing blood turbulence. The stent features an adjustable design to adapt to different vascular transplantation environments and facilitates surgical procedures.
[0048] In the optional solution, the stent fixation component includes a retractable tubular stent and a covering membrane 6 encapsulation structure covering it; wherein the connection between the artificial blood vessel part and the two fixation devices is the stent area and the anastomosis area 2 of the artificial blood vessel.
[0049] Figure 1 The first and second retractable stents are in a compressed state of the membrane 6, and the diameter of the membrane 6 gradually decreases at the end furthest from the artificial blood vessel, with the diameter at the farthest end reaching 0.5 to 0.8 times the diameter of the artificial blood vessel.
[0050] In an alternative embodiment, the diameters of the various expandable elastic coils 41 can be different, for example, such as Figure 2 As shown, a, b, and c illustrate the expansion and contraction states of the expandable tubular stent: the closer it is to the artificial blood vessel, the closer its diameter is to the artificial blood vessel's diameter. At its furthest point, the diameter of the expandable stent can reach 1.25-1.5 times the diameter of the artificial blood vessel. Region d represents the stent portion within the artificial blood vessel, where the diameter of the tubular stent is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the artificial blood vessel; region e represents the anastomosis area, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the artificial blood vessel portion in this area has a support ring structure made of polyurethane filaments on its outer side, which can ensure that the artificial blood vessel will not deform during the suturing process, reducing suturing operations and suturing time.
[0051] The telescopic support is wrapped and compressed by a covering film 6. The surface of the covering film 6 has 3-5 evenly distributed adjustment rings formed by pull lines. The size of different adjustment rings can be adjusted by pulling the pull lines, thereby adjusting the diameter of the telescopic tubular support. Figure 4 As shown, by pulling the tensioning wire, the diameter of the adjustment ring at the farthest point of the membrane 6 structure changes the most, and the diameter of the telescopic tubular support is compressed to the greatest extent; the diameter of the adjustment ring gradually decreases from the outside to the inside, and the diameter of the membrane 6 near the innermost adjustment ring hardly changes.
[0052] The artificial blood vessel has a buffer bin 3 structure in the anastomosis area 2 domain, as shown in the drawings Figure 5 The buffer bin 3 is located in the two side walls of the blood vessel, and the buffer bin 3 is internally provided with a buffer element 31, and the two ends of the buffer element 31 are fixedly connected with the inner wall of the artificial blood vessel. After the artificial blood vessel is transplanted, the blood passing through the buffer bin 3 will produce an impact, and the buffer element 31 will absorb and offset the impact force generated by the blood flow, so as to avoid the damage of the blood flow impact to the artificial blood vessel, and facilitate the blood circulation.

[0054] From the technical common sense, the present application can be realized by other embodiments without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.

All changes within the scope of the present application or within the scope equivalent to the present application are included in the present application.
