[0002] The statements herein are provided merely as background information in connection with this application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Heart weakness or heart failure can affect a patient's cardiac function and endanger their life. In clinical practice, ventricular assist devices are often used to help enhance cardiac function and alleviate heart failure. A ventricular assist device is an implantable mechanical pump that pumps blood from the lower chamber of the heart to other parts of the body, ensuring that the heart's blood supply function is maintained at a normal level. At the same time, it can reduce ventricular load, reduce myocardial cell oxygen consumption, increase cardiac output, stabilize hemodynamics and blood circulation, and provide a guarantee for the patient's cardiac function recovery and further treatment.

[0010] Furthermore, the first mating part of the isolation member includes an isolation member wall portion, which is configured to extend along the direction toward the blood inlet of the tube body. The second mating part mates with the inner side of the isolation member wall portion to connect or disconnect the isolation member wall portion from the second mating part. The outer side of the isolation member wall portion mates with the tube body at the blood inlet end to fix the isolation member wall portion to the tube body.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer side of the isolation component wall is provided with multiple protrusions, which are configured to snap together with the wall of the tube forming the blood inlet.

For clarity and brevity, not all features of actual implementations are described in the specification. However, it should be understood that many implementation-specific decisions must be made in the development of any such actual embodiment to achieve the developer's specific goals, such as complying with constraints related to the system and business, and these constraints may vary depending on the implementation.

[0033] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring this application with unnecessary details, only the equipment structure and / or processing steps closely related to the solution according to this application are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to this application are omitted.
[0034] The following disclosure provides several different implementations or examples for carrying out this application. To simplify the disclosure of this application, specific examples of components and methods are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit this application. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0035] When treating patients with ventricular assist devices (VADs), the aortic blood vessel is inserted via puncture. The VAD then travels through the aortic valve via the arterial blood vessel and is finally placed inside the ventricle, thereby drawing blood from the ventricle and pumping it to the artery. The inventors of this application have discovered that, during the use of current VADs, the blood inlet end of the VAD may come into contact with the ventricular wall during the blood aspiration process, potentially causing damage to the ventricular wall and, in severe cases, endangering the user's life.
[0036] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, embodiments of this application provide a ventricular assist device for assisting ventricular function. Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the assembly of the various components of the ventricular assist device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the ventricular assist device 100 includes: a tube body 10, a pump 20, an isolator 30, and a guide wire 40. The guide wire 40 is configured to transport the isolator 30 to a predetermined position in the ventricle. The tube body 10 provides a flow channel for blood, with a blood inlet 11 formed at one end of the tube body 10 and a blood outlet 12 formed at the other end of the tube body 10. The pump 20 is located at the blood outlet 12 of the tube body 10 and is used to draw blood from the ventricle through the blood inlet 11 and pump it out through the blood outlet 12. The isolator 30 is located at the blood inlet 11 of the tube body 10 and covers the blood inlet 11 of the tube body 10. The isolator 30 is configured to allow blood to enter the blood inlet 11 through the isolator 30 and to prevent the tube body 10 from touching the ventricular wall during blood suction.
[0037] According to the embodiments of this application, the ventricular assist device forms a covering at the blood inlet of the tube by means of the isolation member 30, so that when blood is drawn from the blood inlet, the tube will not touch the ventricular wall, thereby avoiding the harm to the patient caused by the tube touching the ventricular wall, and thus reducing the potential risks during the use of the ventricular assist device.
[0038] Here, those skilled in the art can select different forms of isolation components as needed; for example, a flexible mesh structure can be used.
[0039] Figure 3 This illustration shows a partial structural diagram of the guidewire and spacer assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the ventricular assist device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application uses a guide wire 40 to transport the isolation member 30 to the blood inlet 11 of the tube body 10, so that the isolation member 30 forms a cover at the blood inlet 11, and blood can pass through the isolation member 30 to enter the tube body 10, so that the blood inlet 11 is flexibly wrapped, preventing the blood inlet 11 end of the tube body 10 from touching and damaging the ventricular wall when the ventricular assist device 100 pumps blood, thereby reducing damage to the patient's body.
[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the isolation member 30 includes an isolation part 31 and a first mating part 32. The isolation part 31 and the first mating part 32 are fixedly connected. The isolation part 31 is configured to cover the blood inlet 11 of the tube body 10. The first mating part 32 is configured to be detachably connected to the guide wire 40.
[0041] The isolation element 30 is fixedly connected to the inlet of the tube body 10 through the first mating part 32, so that the isolation part 31 can be fixedly covered on the blood inlet 11 of the tube body 10. This can cover the exposed blood inlet 11, preventing the open perforated structure at the blood inlet 11 from scraping against the ventricular assist device 100 when pumping blood, thus avoiding damage to the patient's heart. At the same time, it can also prevent scraped human tissue from blocking the blood inlet 11, thus avoiding affecting the function of the ventricular assist device 100 in pumping blood.
[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, one end of the guidewire 40 forms a second mating part 41, and the first mating part 32 and the second mating part 41 can be detachably connected, so that the isolation member 30 and the guidewire 40 can be detachably connected.
[0043] In some embodiments, the second mating part 41 formed by the first mating part 32 and the guide wire 40 can be configured to be threadedly connected. The connection or disconnection of the first mating part 32 and the second mating part 41 can be achieved by rotating the guide wire 40, which facilitates installation and disassembly. Thus, after the isolation member 30 is placed in a predetermined position using the guide wire 40, the guide wire 40 can be disconnected from the isolation member 30 and the guide wire 40 can be removed from the patient's body.
[0044] In some embodiments, the guide wire 40 is configured to guide the isolator 30 from the blood outlet 12 into the tube body 10 and extend from the blood inlet 11. With this configuration, when the isolator 30 moves from the blood outlet of the tube body to the outside of the tube body 10, the guide wire 40 is still inside the tube body 10. At this time, the isolator 30 begins to change from a contracted state to an extended state. Since the guide wire 40 is inside the tube body 10 and the isolator 30 is outside the tube body, this configuration facilitates the fixation of the isolator 30 to the blood inlet end of the tube body 10 via the guide wire 40.
[0045] Figure 2 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the ventricular assist device provided in an embodiment of this application placed in a patient's ventricle. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ventricular assist device 100 is placed between the ventricle and the artery through the ventricular valve. The tube 10 at the blood inlet 11 is in the ventricle, and the pump 20 is in the artery. The ventricular assist device 100 draws blood from the ventricle through the pump 20 and pushes the blood to the blood outlet 12, thereby assisting the heart in supplying blood to the artery.
[0046] Figure 9 This diagram shows a partial structural schematic of the isolation member in a contracted state when the guide wire of the embodiment of this application delivers the isolation member into the tube. In the process of preventing the ventricular assist device, the tube 10 of the ventricular assist device 100, which is equipped with the pump 20, is first delivered to the junction of the ventricle and the artery. Then, the guide wire 40 is used to drive the isolation member 30 into the blood vessel and to the position where the tube 10 and the pump 20 are located. It enters the tube from the blood outlet 12. Since the isolation member 30 is constantly pulled by the guide wire 40 at this time, and the movement path is the blood vessel and the tube 10, the path is relatively narrow. Therefore, the isolation part 31 of the isolation member 30 in the blood vessel and the tube 10 is in a contracted state under the external force. Figure 10 The diagram shows a partial structural schematic of the isolation member provided in an embodiment of this application, which is in a slightly expanded state when it extends from the blood inlet. Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the guidewire 40 eventually extends the isolation element 30 out of the blood inlet 11 of the tube body 10. Since the blood inlet 11 is located in the ventricle, the space is larger than that of the tube body 10 and the blood vessel wall. The isolation portion 31 of the isolation element 30 extending out of the tube body 10 begins to expand slightly after being freed from the external force.
[0047] In some embodiments, the isolation portion 31 of the isolation member 30 is configured to cover the end of the blood inlet 11 of the tube body 10 after the isolation member 30 extends out of the blood inlet 11, and the guide wire 40 is configured to be disconnected from the isolation member 30 after the isolation portion 31 covers the end of the blood inlet 11 of the tube body 10.
[0048] Figure 11 This illustration shows a partial structural diagram of the isolation member provided in an embodiment of this application when it is in a fully deployed state. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, after the isolation portion 31 of the isolation member 30 extends out of the tube body 10, it fully unfolds because it is no longer restrained by external forces. The fully unfolded isolation portion 31 has a shape that is centrally symmetrical about the first mating portion 32 (e.g., umbrella-shaped), so that the fully unfolded isolation portion 31 completely covers the blood inlet 11 of the tube body 10. After the isolation portion 31 has completed covering the blood inlet 11, the guidewire 40 needs to be withdrawn from the patient's body. Therefore, the guidewire 40 needs to be disconnected from the isolation member 30.
[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first mating part 32 of the isolation member 30 includes an isolation member wall part 321, which is arranged to extend along the direction toward the blood inlet 11 of the tube body 10. The second mating part 41 mates with the inner side of the isolation member wall part 321 so that the isolation member wall part 321 and the second mating part 41 are connected or disconnected. The outer side of the isolation member wall part 321 mates with the tube body 10 at the blood inlet 11 end so that the isolation member wall part 321 and the tube body 10 are fixedly connected.
[0050] In some embodiments, the isolation portion 31 is symmetrical about the first mating portion 32 as the center point, and the first mating portion 32 is disposed on the side of the isolation portion in a covered state. The length of the first mating portion 32 extending toward the blood inlet 11 does not exceed the length covered by the isolation portion 31. Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, this allows the isolation part 31 to completely enclose the first mating part 32 when it is in the contracted state.
[0051] In some embodiments, the spacer wall portion 321 and the second mating portion 41 are configured in a mating shape (e.g., threaded pattern) such that the first mating portion 32 and the second mating portion 41 of the spacer 30 form a detachable connection (e.g., threaded connection).
[0052] In some embodiments, the outer side of the isolation member wall 321 is provided with a plurality of protrusions, which are configured to snap-fit with the wall of the tube forming the blood inlet 11.
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the wall portion 321 of the spacer has a protrusion, such as Figure 9 As shown, when the isolation part 31 is in the contracted state, it completely covers the first mating part 32. That is, the isolation part 31 completely covers the part where the first mating part 32 and the second mating part 41 are connected. This can prevent the protrusion on the isolation member wall 321 from being exposed outside the isolation part 31, and prevent the protrusion from damaging the inner wall of the blood vessel during transport in the blood vessel.
[0054] Figure 5 This illustration shows a partial structural diagram of an embodiment of the present application showing the interaction between the isolation element and the blood inlet of the tube. Figure 4 This illustration shows another partial structural diagram of the connection between the isolator and the blood inlet of the tube according to one embodiment of the present application, showing different structures. In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the tube body 10 forms a mating wall portion 111 at the blood inlet 11. The mating wall portion 111 extends in a direction away from the isolator 30. The mating wall portion 111 has multiple protrusions, which are arranged opposite to each other. The outer side of the isolator wall portion 321 has multiple protrusions. The protrusions 112 of the mating wall portion and the protrusions 322 of the isolator wall portion cooperate with each other to fix the isolator wall portion 321 to the tube body 10.
[0055] The protrusions 112 that mate with the wall are symmetrically arranged with the axis of the tube body as the symmetrical point, and extend towards the axis of the tube body. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 5 As shown, both the protrusion 112 of the mating wall and the protrusion 322 of the isolating member wall are configured as right-angled triangular toothed structures. Both the protrusion 112 of the mating wall and the protrusion 322 of the isolating member wall are configured to be elastic. The inclined surfaces of the two right-angled triangles are configured to contact each other and complement each other. In this way, when the protrusion 112 of the mating wall and the protrusion 322 of the isolating member wall move in coordination, the inclined surfaces of the right-angled triangles of the protrusion 322 of the isolating member wall and the protrusion 112 of the mating wall can fit together. As the isolating member 30 continues to be pushed into the tube body 10, the elastic protrusion 322 of the isolating member wall causes the equally elastic protrusion 112 of the mating wall to expand, thereby causing the stepped surface of the right-angled side of the protrusion 322 of the isolating member wall to engage with the stepped surface of the right-angled side of the protrusion 112 of the mating wall. The isolating member 30 and the tube body 10 are completely engaged and fixed.
[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the blood inlet end of the tube body 10 may not form a mating wall 111. Instead, an elastic suspension portion extending towards the axis of the tube body 10 can be formed directly at the blood inlet 11 of the tube body 10. This suspension portion is configured as an eave-like structure extending towards the axis of the tube body 10. The protrusion 322 of the isolator wall is configured as an elastic right-angled triangular tooth structure. The inclined surface of the right-angled triangle deforms during the process of the isolator 30 continuing to engage and advance with the tube body 10. Ultimately, the right-angled side of the protrusion 322 of the isolator wall is suspended and engaged on the eave-like structure, and the isolator 30 and the tube body 10 are completely engaged and fixed.
[0057] In some embodiments, the protrusion 112 of the mating wall and the protrusion 322 of the partition wall are configured such that during the process of fixing the partition wall 321 to the tube 10, the movement direction between the partition 30 and the tube 10 is unidirectional.
[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, since the right-angled edge of the protrusion 322 of the isolation member wall engages with the right-angled edge of the protrusion 112 of the mating wall, after the isolation member 30 and the tube body 10 are completely engaged and fixed, although both the protrusion 112 of the mating wall and the protrusion 322 of the isolation member wall are elastic, after the right-angled edge is engaged, due to the limited elasticity, the protrusion 112 of the mating wall and the protrusion 322 of the isolation member wall cannot be released from the engagement state by reverse movement. Therefore, the isolation member 30 can be continuously fixed at the blood inlet 11 of the tube body 10, so as to achieve continuous coverage of the blood inlet 11 by the isolation member 30.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the right-angled edge of the protrusion 322 on the wall of the isolator is suspended and engaged on the eaves-like structure. After the isolator 30 and the tube 10 are completely engaged and fixed, although both the protrusion 322 and the eaves-like structure on the wall of the isolator are elastic, the protrusion 322 and the eaves-like structure on the wall of the isolator cannot be released from the engagement state by reverse movement due to the limited elasticity after the right-angled edge step surface is engaged.
[0060] Embodiments of this application also provide a ventricular assist device 200. Figure 6 This illustration shows a structural diagram of the ventricular assist device (VAD) assembly provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the ventricular assist device 200 includes the aforementioned ventricular assist device 100 and a sheath assembly 50. The sheath assembly 50 is configured to block the blood outlet 12 before the ventricular assist device 100 enters the user's blood vessels when it is inserted into the ventricle, so as to prevent blood from flowing out of the blood outlet.
[0061] The ventricular assist device 200 provided in the embodiments of this application prevents blood from flowing out of the puncture site through the blood outlet 12 by using a sheath assembly 50 to block the blood outlet 12 of the ventricular assist device 100 when it is punctured into a blood vessel, thereby preventing excessive blood loss in the patient.
[0062] Figure 7 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the sheath assembly structure provided in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the sheath assembly 50 includes a sheath member 51 and a tube member 52, the sheath member 51 and the tube member 52 are fixedly connected, and the sheath member 51 is configured as two separable half-sheaths 511, as shown. Figure 6As shown, when the ventricular assist device 100 is inserted into the ventricle, one end of each of the two half-sheaths 511 is positioned at the blood outlet 12 and blocks the blood outlet 12. The other end of each of the two half-sheaths 511 is fixedly connected to the tube 52, which extends along the tube body 10. When the ventricular assist device 100 is delivered into the ventricle, the two half-sheaths 511 are configured to move together with the tube body 10 of the ventricular assist device 100 so that the blood outlet 12 remains blocked. When the blood outlet 12 enters the user's body, the two half-sheaths 511 are detached.
[0063] Figure 8 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the top structure of the sheath provided in an embodiment of this application, with the tube 10 passing through the space between the two half-sheaths 511, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the portion of the tube body near the blood outlet 12 is nested inside the fitting 52, allowing the fitting 52 to cover the blood outlet 12, thereby reducing blood leakage during the puncture and intervention of blood vessels.
[0064] When the blood is about to enter the blood vessel at the outlet of the ventricular assist device 100, the two half-sheaths can be separated by applying force, and then the tube 10 can be completely inserted into the blood vessel to continue to deliver blood to the ventricle.
[0065] Regarding the embodiments of this application, it should also be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.
[0066] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. The scope of protection of this application shall be determined by the scope of the claims.
