AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In patients with mitral valve disease, there is compensatory hyperplasia of the ventricular muscle. The foot of a conventional surgical artificial heart valve comes into contact with and is squeezed against the anterior and posterior walls of the ventricle, restricting the movement of the valve leaflets and resulting in a reduction in the effective opening area.

Method used

A surgical artificial heart valve is designed by specifically positioning the valve feet so that when the valve feet interfere with the ventricular muscle, a blocking surface is formed on both sides along the long axis to ensure an effective opening area. Arc bands are set on both sides of the valve to optimize hemodynamics and reduce thrombus formation.

Benefits of technology

It effectively avoids restricting valve leaflet movement, maintains the effective opening area of ​​the valve, and optimizes hemodynamics through the arc band, reducing the elongation rate of scar tissue and improving valve durability.

Description

Surgical prosthetic heart valve

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411320675.4 filed on September 23, 2024 with the Chinese Patent Office, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical devices, for example, a surgical prosthetic heart valve. BACKGROUND

[0003] Mitral regurgitation is a common mitral valve disease, and the treatment methods for patients with mitral regurgitation include repair and replacement. Since the treatment effect of repair is limited, the mitral valve often needs to be replaced. Traditional replacement products include mechanical valves and biological valves.

[0004] Mechanical valves have good durability and are not prone to wear, but they require lifelong use of anticoagulant drugs to prevent thrombosis, increasing the risk of internal bleeding. Biological valves have the advantages of less trauma and faster postoperative recovery compared to mechanical valves. For biological valves with a circular overall shape, they are composed of three elastic valve leaves that can open and close with pressure. The valve leaves are fixed on the valve frame by suturing, and the valve frame usually has a certain height, and the height of the valve frame increases with the increase of the valve.

[0005] CN116616963A discloses an artificial heart valve, which includes at least two incompressible valves; each of the at least two incompressible valves independently includes a support seat, a metal frame arranged on the top surface of the support seat, and a valve leaf attached to the metal frame; adjacent two incompressible valves are connected; and the cross-sectional area of the artificial heart valve is less than or equal to the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the at least two incompressible valves that make up the artificial heart valve.

[0006] Therefore, in the related art, a surgical double-orifice mitral valve divides the pressure borne by a single valve by splitting a larger opening valve into two smaller opening valves, thereby improving the durability of the valve. At the same time, the two smaller openings are arranged in close proximity, and the shape is approximately elliptical, which is more in line with the shape of the native mitral annulus, thereby reducing the impact of the implanted artificial biological mitral valve on the aortic valve.

[0007] However, patients with mitral valve disease have the problem of compensatory hypertrophy of ventricular muscle. When the double-orifice mitral valve is implanted, the valve foot on the long axis of the outflow side will be in contact and extrusion with the anterior and posterior walls of the ventricle. This contact and extrusion limits the movement of the valve leaf to some extent, and the contact between the valve foot and the ventricle also accelerates the extension of scar tissue on the valve leaf. SUMMARY

[0008] The application provides a surgical artificial heart valve which avoids the problem of reduced effective opening area caused by muscle tissue extrusion through specific arrangement of the valve foot positions.

[0041] The distance parameters in the specific embodiments of the present application ignore the wall thickness of the first support seat, the second support seat, the first valve leaflet, and the second valve leaflet.

[0042] Figure 7 is a structural top view of the outflow side of a surgical artificial heart valve provided in the present application, as shown in Figure 7, the present application provides a surgical artificial heart valve, which includes a first valve and a second valve connected in turn along the long axis direction;

[0043] The first valve includes a first support seat 110, three first valve leaflets 120 arranged on the outflow side of the first support seat 110, and a first valve leaflet 130 attached to the three first valve leaflets 120; The three first valve leaflets 120 are evenly distributed on the outflow side of the first support seat 110;

[0044] The second valve includes a second support seat 210, three second valve leaflets 220 arranged on the outflow side of the second support seat 210, and a second valve leaflet 230 attached to the three second valve leaflets 220; The three second valve leaflets 220 are evenly distributed on the outflow side of the second support seat 210;

[0045] Among the three first valve leaflets 120 and the three second valve leaflets 220, the distance between the closest first valve leaflet 120 and the second valve leaflet 220 is a, and a≤3mm; the distance between any one of the other two first valve leaflets 120 and the closest second valve leaflet 220 is b1mm, the distance between the other first valve leaflet 120 and the closest second valve leaflet 220 is b2mm, the inner diameter of the first support base 110 is d1mm, and the inner diameter of the second support base 210 is d2mm, then d1<b1<2d1, and d2<b2<2d2.

[0046] Since patients with mitral valve disease have compensatory hypertrophy of ventricular muscle, the valve leaflets of conventional structural surgical artificial heart valves have the defect of limiting the movement of the valve leaflets when they are in contact with the anterior and posterior walls of the ventricle. The present application makes one of the three first valve leaflets and one of the three second valve leaflets close to each other, while the other two first valve leaflets and the other two second valve leaflets are both more than the inner diameter of the first support base or the second support base, so that when the valve leaflets interfere with the muscle tissue, the two valve leaflets can form a face that blocks the myocardial tissue from pressing the outflow opening of the valve from both sides of the long axis direction, ensuring the effective opening area of the valve.

[0047] In some embodiments, the material of the first support base 110 includes any one or a combination of at least two of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), cobalt-chromium-nickel alloy, or stainless steel; the stainless steel includes 316L stainless steel or 317L stainless steel.

[0048] The connection mode of the first support base 110, the first valve leaflet 130, and the first valve leaflet 120 in the present application can be set according to actual needs. For example, the first support base 110, the first valve leaflet 130, and the first valve leaflet 120 are connected by a fabric layer.

[0049] For example, the material of the fabric layer includes polyester and / or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

[0051] The connection mode of the second support seat 210, the second leaflet 230 and the second valve cusp 220 in the present application can also be set according to actual needs. For example, the second support seat 210, the second leaflet 230 and the second valve cusp 220 are connected through a fabric layer.

[0052] For example, the material of the fabric layer includes polyester and / or PTFE.

[0053] In some embodiments, the value of d1 is 15-25, for example, it can be 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 24 or 25, and the remaining values in the numerical range are also applicable.

[0054] In some embodiments, the value of d2 is 15-25, for example, it can be 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 24 or 25, and the remaining values in the numerical range are also applicable.

[0055] In some embodiments, b1 and b2 satisfy the following relationship: b1 = b2.

[0056] Optionally, when the relationship between b1 and b2 satisfies b1 = b2, in the overhead view of the surgical artificial heart valve, one first valve cusp 120 in the first valve and one second valve cusp 220 in the second valve are closest, and the other two first valve cusps 120 in the second valve and the other two second valve cusps 220 in the second valve form a rectangle, at this time, the opening area of the surgical artificial heart valve can be effectively guaranteed, and the situation that the effective opening area is reduced due to the muscle tissue surrounding the cusp can be greatly avoided.

During the process of heart contraction and diastole, the mitral valve annulus also moves, and the junctions of the anterior and posterior leaflets on the inside and outside will fold downward along the anterior and posterior diameters of the mitral valve. Through the setting of the resilient portion, the surgical artificial heart valve can still have the condition of movement after implantation, and the ability of muscle tissue contraction and diastole is maximally retained.

[0061] Exemplarily, the elastic part can include a spring or a flexible connector, as long as the relative movement of the first valve and the second valve in a certain space can be realized.

The arc-shaped bands provided on both sides of the long axis direction of the surgical artificial heart valve form a channel on the outflow side, which can effectively optimize the hemodynamics and reduce the formation of thrombus.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first arc-shaped band 140 includes a first starting point 141 and a first ending point 142;

[0067] The second arc-shaped band 240 has a second starting point 241 closest to the first starting point 141 and a second ending point 242 closest to the first ending point 142;

[0068] The distance between the first starting point 141 and the second starting point 241 is c1 mm, and c1 satisfies: 20≤c1≤40, for example, it can be 25, 25, 30, 35 or 40, and the remaining values in the numerical range are also applicable;

[0070] In some embodiments, the distance between the first starting point 141 and the second starting point 241 is c1 mm, and c1<1.5d1, and optionally c1=0.5d1;

[0071] The distance between the first ending point 142 and the second ending point 242 is c2 mm, and c2<1.5d2, and optionally c2=0.5d2.

[0072] In some embodiments, c1 and c2 satisfy the following relationship: c1=c2.

[0073] In some embodiments, the material of the first arc-shaped band 140 and the second arc-shaped band 240 comprises a polymer material.

[0074] In the present application, the material of the first arc-shaped band 140 and the second arc-shaped band 240 is a polymer material. The polymer material has certain hardness, flexibility and elasticity, which can effectively reduce the extension rate of scar tissue, prevent the endothelialization of the first leaflet and the second leaflet, and improve the durability of the surgical artificial heart valve.

[0075] For example, the polymer material comprises any one of polypropylene (PP), polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU) or PET, or a combination of at least two of them. For example, the polymer material can be PET.

[0076] In some embodiments, the height of the first arc-shaped band 140 and / or the second arc-shaped band 240 is less than the height of the first valve leaflet 120 and the height of the second valve leaflet 220.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first arc-shaped band 140 is a continuous arc-shaped band from the first starting point 141 to the first ending point 142, or a spaced arc-shaped band formed by a plurality of segments with intervals.

[0078] In some embodiments, the second arc-shaped band 240 is a continuous arc-shaped band from the second starting point 241 to the second ending point 242, or a spaced arc-shaped band formed by a plurality of segments with intervals.

[0079] In some embodiments, the edges of the non-stitched portions of the first leaflets are sequentially butted and joined to form a first valve structure, the first valve structure forms a small hole at the center of the first valve, and the convex surface of each first leaflet faces the same side.
