Description

Double-disc integrally-formed degradable heart atrial septal oval foramen occluder

[0001] Cross-reference to Related Applications

[0002] The present application is based on the Chinese patent application with the application number 202410451556.6 and the application date of April 15, 2024, and the Chinese patent application with the application number 202420776702.8 and the application date of April 15, 2024, and claims the priority of the above-mentioned Chinese patent applications, the entire contents of the above-mentioned Chinese patent applications are hereby incorporated by reference into the present application. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to a double-disc integrally-formed degradable heart atrial septal oval foramen occluder. BACKGROUND

[0004] The oval foramen is a physiological channel of the heart atrial septum during the embryonic period. After birth, the secondary septum and the primary septum of the atrial septum of most people are mutually adhered and fused to form a permanent atrial septum in about 5-7 months. If they are not fused, a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is formed. Because the flow rate of PFO is too small, it has been believed for a long time that PFO will not cause clinical consequences. In recent years, more and more studies have found that the risk of stroke, migraine, peripheral arterial embolism, decompression disease, etc. in PFO patients is several times higher than that in normal people, and the pathogenic effect of PFO has attracted the attention of experts and scholars. Clinical exploration is carried out to close PFO to prevent recurrent events of stroke, treat migraine and orthodeoxia-cerebral hypoxia, etc.

[0005] The method of treating patent foramen ovale of the atrial septum by minimally invasive intervention has been very mature. Compared with traditional surgery, minimally invasive intervention is a modern high-tech minimally invasive treatment. Through femoral vein puncture, under the guidance of medical imaging equipment, a guide wire is inserted along the femoral vein, inferior vena cava and into the right atrium, and then the guide wire is passed through the atrial septal defect into the left atrium. Then a delivery catheter is placed in the atrial septal defect along the guide wire, and finally an atrial septal defect occluder is pushed into the delivery catheter to the atrial septal defect for occlusion treatment. Such minimally invasive intervention has the advantages of no incision, small trauma, few complications, fast recovery, good effect, wide range of indications and relatively low operation cost.

[0006] The treatment method of implanting an atrial septal defect occluder through minimally invasive interventional surgery has many advantages over traditional surgical operation. However, since the main body support of the atrial septal defect occluder used in the clinic is mainly made of nickel-titanium alloy wire, and since this kind of metal material cannot be degraded in the human body, long-term implantation will cause inflammation, blood coagulation and other reactions with human tissues, and even a certain degree of damage, so there are certain defects, and the following use risks still exist: (1) nickel-titanium alloy is a non-degradable metal alloy material, although its biocompatibility has been demonstrated, but the long-term risk of long-term permanent implantation cannot be completely controlled; (2) since the nickel-titanium alloy is permanently implanted and non-degradable, the permanent retention of the heart may affect the development of the heart of the growing child; (3) nickel precipitation, nickel allergy and other complications still have no clear scientific evidence.

[0007] After the surface of the heart occluder is completely endothelialized and the heart defect is repaired by the body's own tissue, the heart occluder has no need to remain in the body. Therefore, the ideal heart occluder should provide a temporary bridge for the heart to repair itself, allowing the self-cell tissue to climb and grow, and be degraded by the body after completing the mission, so that the defect is completely repaired by the self-tissue, thereby avoiding the long-term complications and safety hazards caused by the metal remaining in the body. The occluder widely used in the clinic is a woven metal-nonwoven fabric occluder based on the Amplatzer occluder, which is gradually optimized, and the material is mainly nickel-titanium alloy or other metals and non-degradable nonwoven fabric. It not only has no biodegradation performance and needs to be permanently retained in the human body, but also has the disadvantages of high stress, metal corrosion, nickel poisoning and other unavoidable disadvantages.

The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary, and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0043] A double-disc integrally formed degradable heart atrial septal patent foramen ovale occluder 100 according to some embodiments of the present application is described below with reference to FIG. 1.

[0044] The double-disc integrally formed degradable heart atrial septal patent foramen ovale occluder 100 according to embodiments of the present application is a degradable member, which can be at least one of a degradable high polymer material member, a degradable metal material member, a bioceramic member, and a bioglass member. The occluder 100 includes a first disc portion 10, a second disc portion 20, and an occlusion portion 30, the first disc portion 10 and the second disc portion 20 are connected at both ends of the occlusion portion 30, the occlusion portion 30 penetrates the atrial septum to occlude the patent foramen ovale, the first disc portion 10 and the second disc portion 20 are respectively located on both sides of the patent foramen ovale of the atrial septum, and the first disc portion 10 and the second disc portion 20 jointly clamp the heart wall. The first disc portion 10, the second disc portion 20, and the occlusion portion 30 are integrally formed members, and the first disc portion 10 and the second disc portion 20 are both elastic members that can automatically restore to their original state.

[0045] The double-disc integrally formed degradable heart atrial septal patent foramen ovale occluder 100 of the present application is a degradable member, which can be degraded and absorbed in the body within 6 months to 2 years after the operation, the occluder 100 provides a temporary bridge for the heart itself to repair, for the self-cell tissue to climb and grow, and is degraded by the body after completing the mission, so that the atrial septal defect is completely repaired by the self-tissue, avoiding the influence of the permanent retention of the occluder in the human body, and will not affect the surgical treatment after possible future heart disease.

[0046] The double-disc integrally-formed degradable heart atrial septal patent foramen ovale occluder 100 of the present application is an integrally-formed degradable member, compared with the occluder in the related art which is formed by weaving a nickel-titanium alloy wire into a net frame and then covering a flow-blocking film, the occluder 100 of the present application can avoid long-term complications and safety hazards caused by metal retention in the body, and the occluder 100 of the present application is of an integrated structure, the structural integrity of the occluder 100 is strong, the occluder 100 is formed of the same material, the degradation rate of the occluder 100 in the human body is uniform, there is no risk of structural disintegration, and all the shortcomings of the woven structure occluder in the related art can be overcome, and the surgical operation can be simplified.

[0047] The occluder for interventional treatment needs to be introduced to the lesion site through a small sheath tube, the occluder 100 of the present application can deform, the volume of the occluder 100 is reduced to be accommodated in the sheath tube, and the occluder 100 is convenient to transport; after the occluder 100 is transported out of the sheath tube, the occluder 100 can automatically recover to the original state, and the occluder 100 recovers to the original state to occlude the atrial septal patent foramen ovale.

[0048] The following briefly describes the process of using the occluder 100 of the present application, when the integrally-formed degradable atrial septal patent foramen ovale occluder 100 of the present application is used, the sheath tube is extended to the atrial septal patent foramen ovale, the push assembly pushes the occluder 100 along the sheath tube to the atrial septal defect, the second disc portion 20 is released from the sheath tube on the left atrial side, the second disc portion 20 automatically recovers to the original state after being released, and the second disc portion 20 abuts against the left atrial wall; then the occlusion portion 30 is released from the sheath tube, the occlusion portion 30 is positioned in the atrial septal patent foramen ovale, and the atrial septal defect is occluded; finally, the first disc portion 10 is released from the sheath tube on the right atrial side, the first disc portion 10 automatically recovers to the original state after being released, and the first disc portion 10 abuts against the right atrial wall, so as to realize the occlusion of the atrial septal patent foramen ovale by the occluder 100.

[0049] In addition, compared with the occluder in the related art which is formed by weaving a nickel-titanium alloy wire into a net frame and then covering a flow-blocking film, the occluder 100 of the present application is an elastic member, the occluder 100 can deform to a smaller volume, so it can be transported by a sheath tube with a smaller diameter, which is beneficial to reduce the risk of surgery. When the occluder 100 is sent out of the sheath tube, the occluder 100 can automatically recover to the original state, so it is not necessary to additionally provide a driving member to drive the occluder 100 to recover to the original state, which can reduce the manufacturing cost and simplify the surgical operation.

[0050] The shape of the atrial septal patent foramen ovale is relatively complex, and when the axial direction of the occlusion portion is parallel to the axial directions of the first disc portion and the second disc portion, the expansion of the first disc portion and the second disc portion may be blocked by the inner wall of the heart after the occlusion portion is processed to occlude the patent foramen ovale, which reduces the occlusion effect.

[0051] Therefore, the occlusion part 30 of the double-disc integrally-formed degradable heart atrial septal patent foramen ovale occlusion device 100 is obliquely arranged, the plane where the edge of the first disc part 10 is located is the first plane a, the plane where the edge of the second disc part 20 is located is the second plane b, the angle between the axis c of the occlusion part 30 and the first plane a is an acute angle, and / or the angle between the axis c of the occlusion part 30 and the second plane b is an acute angle.

[0052] The first disc part 10 and / or the second disc part 10 are obliquely arranged relative to the occlusion part 30, and the double-disc integrally-formed degradable heart atrial septal patent foramen ovale occlusion device 100 can select the occlusion part 30, the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 according to the shape of the heart wall surface in actual application, so as to improve the occlusion effect of the double-disc integrally-formed degradable heart atrial septal patent foramen ovale occlusion device 100.

[0053] According to the double-disc integrally-formed degradable heart atrial septal patent foramen ovale occlusion device 100, the occlusion device 100 is an integrally-formed degradable member, the occlusion device 100 provides a temporary bridge for the self-repair of the heart, so that the cell tissue can climb and grow, and then be degraded and absorbed in the body. The long-term complications and safety hazards caused by the metal remaining in the body can be avoided, the structural integrity of the occlusion device 100 is strong, the degradation rate of the occlusion device 100 in the human body is uniform, there is no risk of structural disintegration, all the shortcomings of the existing braided structure occlusion device 100 can be overcome, and the operation can be simplified. The first disc part 10 and / or the second disc part 10 are obliquely arranged relative to the occlusion part 30, so that the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 can adapt to the heart wall surface structure of different shapes, and the occlusion effect is improved.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, the angle between the axis c of the occlusion part 30 and the first plane a is an acute angle, the angle between the axis c of the occlusion part 30 and the second plane b is an acute angle, the angle between the axis c of the occlusion part 30 and the first plane a is equal to the angle between the axis c of the occlusion part 30 and the second plane b, and the first plane a and the second plane b are arranged in parallel.

[0055] The occlusion part 30 is obliquely arranged relative to the first plane a and the second plane b, and the double-disc integrally-formed degradable heart atrial septal patent foramen ovale occlusion device 100 is suitable for the case that the foramen ovale is oblique relative to the heart wall surface. After the occlusion part 30 occludes the foramen ovale, at least the edges of the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 can reliably contact the heart wall surface, so as to further improve the occlusion effect, and the contact between the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 and the heart wall surface is conducive to the climbing and growth of the cell tissue, so as to improve the repair effect.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, the angle between the axis c of the occlusion part 30 and the first plane a is equal to the angle between the axis c of the occlusion part 30 and the second plane b, and the angle a between the axis c of the occlusion part 30 and the first plane a satisfies: 20°≤a<90°.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, at least part of at least one of the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 is a tapered ring, which extends from the center to the edge towards the direction close to the center of the double-disc integrally formed degradable heart atrial septal oval foramen occluder 100.

[0058] It is worth noting that the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 are respectively connected at both ends of the occlusion part 30 in the length direction, so the central position of the double-disc integrally formed degradable heart atrial septal oval foramen occluder 100 is the middle part of the occlusion part 30.

[0059] At least part of at least one of the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 is a tapered ring, when at least part of the first disc part 10 is a tapered ring, the tapered ring extends from the center to the edge towards the direction of the second disc part 20; when at least part of the second disc part 20 is a tapered ring, the tapered ring extends from the center to the edge towards the direction of the first disc part 10.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, at least part of the first disc part 10 is a tapered ring, and at least part of the second disc part 20 is a tapered ring, and the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 are arranged in a buckling manner. By arranging the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 in a buckling manner, the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 can reliably abut on the heart atrium wall, which can increase the contact area of the first disc part 10 with the heart atrium wall, and can increase the contact area of the second disc part 20 with the heart atrium wall, which can improve the arrangement stability of the occluder 100, and is also beneficial to the cell tissue climbing growth and improves the repair effect.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, at least part of at least one of the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 is an inverted tapered ring, which extends from the center to the edge towards the direction away from the center of the double-disc integrally formed degradable heart atrial septal oval foramen occluder 100.

[0062] At least part of at least one of the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 is an inverted tapered ring, when at least part of the first disc part 10 is an inverted tapered ring, the tapered ring extends from the center to the edge towards the direction away from the second disc part 20; when at least part of the second disc part 20 is an inverted tapered ring, the tapered ring extends from the center to the edge towards the direction away from the first disc part 10.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, at least part of the first disc part 10 is a reverse conical ring, at least part of the second disc part 20 is a reverse conical ring, and the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 are in a disc-shaped structure facing away from each other.

[0064] The first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 are both reverse conical rings, and the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 are in a reverse buckle shape facing away from each other. By arranging the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 to face away from each other, the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 can be avoided to hinder the occlusion part 30, and the situation that the first disc part 10 or the second disc part 20 hinders the formation of the interatrial septal foramen of the heart can be reduced, thereby improving the working reliability of the double-disc integrally formed degradable interatrial septal foramen occluder 100.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, at least part of one of the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 is a conical ring extending from the center to the edge towards the direction close to the center of the double-disc integrally formed degradable interatrial septal foramen occluder 100, and at least part of the other of the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 is a reverse conical ring extending from the center to the edge towards the direction away from the center of the double-disc integrally formed degradable interatrial septal foramen occluder 100.

[0066] One of the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 is arranged to buckle towards the middle position of the occlusion part 10, and the other of the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 is arranged to extend away from the middle position of the occlusion part 10, which also falls within the protection scope of the present application.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3, the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 are parallel discs. The first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 are arranged in parallel, and the contact area of the first disc part 10 and the second disc part 20 with the heart wall surface after restoration is larger, which can improve the occlusion effect.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2, the first disc part 10 includes a first annular plate 11 and a first support rib 12, the first annular plate 11 is the main part of the first disc part 10, and the first support rib 12 is arranged on the first annular plate 11 and is used to support the first annular plate 11 to restore its original shape. The second disc part 20 includes a second annular plate 21 and a second support rib 22, the second annular plate 21 is the main part of the second disc part 20, and the second support rib 22 is arranged on the second annular plate 21 and is used to support the second annular plate 21 to restore its original shape.

[0069] It is worth mentioning that the first annular plate 11 and the second annular plate 21 are configured as a sheet structure, compared with a three-dimensional occluder in the prior art which is woven by a nickel-titanium alloy wire into a net rack and then covered with a flow-blocking film, the space volume of the occluder 100 is smaller, the occluder 100 can be deformed into a smaller volume and accommodated in a sheath, and the occluder 100 can be delivered through a sheath with a smaller diameter, which is beneficial to reducing the risk of surgery.
