Description

Branch type tectorial membrane support and branch type tectorial membrane support system

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a branch type covered stent and a branch type covered stent system.

Background

Abdominal aortic aneurysms are among the most fatal and most difficult to treat vascular surgical diseases. Since the conventional surgical operation is difficult to implement and has a large surgical wound, an intravascular interventional therapy method implemented by using an abdominal aorta stent graft has been widely used for clinical treatment in recent years. In the interventional therapy operation, the aorta abdominalis covered stent is conveyed to the aorta abdominalis diseased position through a conveying system through a femoral artery incision, so that diseased blood vessels are protected, and the aorta abdominalis diseased is repaired.

The abdominal aorta covered stent for the interventional therapy of the abdominal aortic aneurysm in the current market is various in types, various products have respective characteristics, and the scope of indications is also different. Most of the products of the aorta abdominalis covered stent are usually fixed on the tumor neck through an anchoring area at the proximal end of the aorta abdominalis covered stent when treating the aorta abdominalis. In order to meet the requirements of good wall adhesion and long-term displacement prevention of the proximal end of the covered stent for the abdominal aorta, the covered stent for the abdominal aorta has good anchoring stability, and the shortest length of a proximal anchoring area of a suitable case is more than or equal to 15 mm. However, the tumor neck length of abdominal aortic aneurysms varies from case to case. Generally, clinically, when the neck of the abdominal aortic aneurysm is greater than or equal to 15mm, a doctor can implant the abdominal aortic stent graft to isolate the abdominal aortic aneurysm by an interventional method under the condition that the patient's own physical conditions are satisfied. When the tumor neck of the abdominal aortic aneurysm is less than 15mm (the tumor body starting position is closer to the renal artery), the common abdominal aortic stent graft requires an anchoring area with the diameter of 15mm or more at the proximal end, so that a doctor can difficultly implant the common abdominal aortic stent graft by an interventional method. Therefore, the current solutions can only be transferred to open surgical treatment, or treatment with a special customized abdominal aortic fenestration stent, or treatment with in-situ fenestration or pre-fenestration on the spot by the physician.

However, the open surgery is not only extremely complicated to operate and prone to cause various serious complications, but also is not tolerated by every patient's physical condition. For the mode of using the abdominal aortic windowing stent, only one customized abdominal aortic windowing stent needs 4-6 weeks of customized time in China at present, and if the abdominal aortic windowing stent is used for treatment, the patient may not wait for 4-6 weeks. For the mode of in-situ windowing or pre-windowing, the in-situ windowing or pre-windowing has high requirements on the experience and technical level of doctors, if the aorta abdominalis covered stent system is not suitable for being reinstalled after being released, the doctors cannot perform self-windowing, and the in-situ windowing has a successful case, but the feasibility of the in-situ windowing still has a dispute due to the defects of the mechanical and laser in-situ windowing. In addition, in europe and america, there are a few non-customized branched stent systems for the treatment of perirenal abdominal aortic aneurysms in pre-market research. From the anatomical analysis of human abdominal aorta, the lower edge of the superior mesenteric artery is usually just about 8.4mm above the upper edge of the double renal arteries on average, and the superior mesenteric artery cannot be shielded and needs to be provided with a notch or a window, and under the severe anatomical condition, the longer the anchoring area of the tectorial membrane is, the more stable the anchoring is generally considered. However, some of the branched stents in these studies did not leave space for the renal artery stent near the perirenal border, thereby causing the renal artery stent to be at risk of being squeezed; some double kidney branch stents are designed into a waisted form for reserving positions for extending, and the waisted position has no anchoring function. Namely, the latter has the disadvantages that the overlap of the anchoring area of the multi-branch aorta abdominalis covered stent and the reserved position of the double-kidney branch stent can not be realized, so that the anchoring area is shortened, and the aorta abdominalis covered stent is unstable in anchoring, or the anchoring area is prolonged to increase the anchoring effect of the aorta abdominalis covered stent, so that the proximal end of the aorta abdominalis covered stent is mainly anchored on the trunk vessels of the abdominal cavity, thus, the structural complexity and the operation difficulty of the stent are increased, and the trunk vessels of the abdominal cavity are easily affected.

The invention provides an aorta abdominalis covered stent and an aorta abdominalis covered stent system, which comprises the following components

Has the advantages that:

compared with the prior art, the branch type covered stent disclosed by the invention is only inwards recessed at the branch window, and other areas of the windowing section outside the branch window still have radial supporting force, so that the adherence of the stent is increased, and the branch type covered stent can be used for anchoring an abdominal aorta. Moreover, because the range of the branch window is inwards sunken, the position of the bracket is reserved for the branch bracket while the bracket is anchored, and the branch window has a certain area, so that the bracket can be applied to cases as long as the branch blood vessel is positioned in the windowing range of the branch window. Therefore, the stent is not customized, the patient does not need to wait for customization, and the patient and the doctor do not need to bear the risk of worsening the disease caused by waiting, so that the stent can be used for emergency cases.

In addition, the upper section of the main body of the covered stent can comprise a U-shaped groove for providing a channel for a branch blood vessel, and because the two sides of the U-shaped groove are connected with the supporting rods which are connected with the complete stent ring, the radial supporting force can be transmitted to the periphery of the U-shaped groove from the stent ring, thereby ensuring the anchoring force and the adherence of the upper section of the main body. The complete stent ring means that the stent ring is in a closed shape, such as a circle, and the complete stent ring has strong radial supporting force.

Furthermore, one V-shaped section of the bare section of the covered stent is larger than other V-shaped sections, so that a bare section window is formed. This can be achieved by means of heat setting. When the naked segment is not released later, the width of the window of the naked segment is 2-5 times of the width of other non-window regions. The main body stent can penetrate through the naked section window under the condition of not releasing, and the outer sheath tube of the branch stent can penetrate through the naked section window, so that the following effects are realized: when the stent is not released, the branch stent can pass through the bare section from the proximal section of the main stent and is led into the branch vessel, and the bare section can not influence the sheath vessel before and after the release and at the moment of the release. This greatly increases the success rate of the introduction of the branch stent.

The aorta abdominalis covered stent and the aorta abdominalis covered stent system proposed by the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples. It is to be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and are not to precise scale, which is merely for the purpose of facilitating and distinctly claiming the embodiments of the present invention.

Example one

The present embodiment provides an abdominal aorta stent graft, and referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic view of an abdominal aorta stent graft according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The aorta abdominalis coveredstent 100 comprises a stentmain body 200 and a coveringmembrane 300, wherein the coveringmembrane 300 is covered on part of the stentmain body 200. Thestent body 200 is in the shape of a mesh tube. Thestent body 200 includes abare segment 400 and a coveredsegment 500. The distal end of thebare segment 400 is connected to the proximal end of thecover segment 500. Thebare segment 400 is used to anchor the aortaabdominalis stent graft 100. Thefilm 300 is coated on thefilm coating section 500. Thegraft segment 500 serves to isolate the aneurysm from blood flow and to allow blood flow from within the abdominalaorta stent graft 100. Themembrane segment 500 includes a bodyupper segment 510, afenestration segment 520, and a bodylower segment 580 connected in series. The proximal end of the main bodyupper section 510 is connected to the distal end of thebare section 400. Thewindow opening section 520 is provided with ahigh kidney window 530 and alow kidney window 540 which are recessed towards the interior of the stent main body. The highrenal window 530 is adjacent to theupper body section 510, the lowrenal window 540 is adjacent to thelower body section 580, the highrenal window 530 is adapted to communicate with a high renal artery (the higher side renal artery), and the lowrenal window 540 is adapted to communicate with a low renal artery (the lower side renal artery). The abdominalaorta stent graft 100 in this embodiment provides radial support for anchoring the abdominalaorta stent graft 100 from thebare section 400 to the main bodysuperior section 510 to the inferior border stent section of the highrenal window 530.

In this embodiment, the aortaabdominalis stent graft 100 has a deployed state and a crimped state. In the deployed state, the abdominalaortic stent graft 100 has a tendency to radially deploy. Specifically, thebare section 400, theupper body section 510, thefenestration section 520, and thelower body section 580 all have a tendency to radially expand. In this embodiment, in the expanded state, the radial cross-sections of thebare section 400, theupper body section 510, thefenestration section 520, and thelower body section 580 are annular.

In order to ensure that thebare segment 400 is attached to the normal blood vessel sufficiently, thebare segment 400 needs to have sufficient radial supporting force, and the implementation manner of thebare segment 400 is not limited to that thebare segment 400 is formed by weaving metal wires or engraving metal tubes.

To further enhance the anchoring effect of thebare section 400, thebare section 400 has a plurality ofbarbs 411, and the plurality ofbarbs 411 are used for anchoring the abdominalaorta stent graft 100. As shown in fig. 1, thebare section 400 is carved out of a metal tube, and thebare section 400 has 5barbs 411 in total. The bare section comprises a support ring in a wavy shape, in one embodiment, the barb is arranged on the wave crest of the support ring close to the proximal end of the bare section, and in another embodiment, the barb is not arranged on the wave crest but arranged on the side surface of the wave as long as the function of anchoring can be achieved. In other embodiments, the number ofbarbs 411 is at least one, for example, thebare segment 400 has one, two or threebarbs 411, and thebare segment 400 may not havebarbs 411.

In this embodiment, thebare section 400 is provided with asheath window 410. Referring to fig. 2 and 3, fig. 2 is a schematic view of a bare section of an abdominal aorta stent graft in a first embodiment of the invention in an unreleased state, and fig. 3 is a schematic view of the bare section of the abdominal aorta stent graft in a second embodiment of the invention in a released state. The stent ring of the bare section is regarded as a wave-shaped graph, thesheath window 410 is an inverted peak, and when thebare section 400 is in a non-post-release state, the width of thesheath window 410 is 3 times that of other non-window areas. The width of thesheath window 410 is a half-peak width of an inverted peak corresponding to thesheath window 410 when the release is not performed. The other non-window region widths refer to the half-peak widths of the peaks of the other non-sheath windows without post-release. Thesheath window 410 may be achieved by heat setting. In other embodiments, the width of thesheath window 410 is 2-5 times the width of the other non-window regions when thebare segment 400 is not released afterwards. Thebare segment 400 is in a non-expanded configuration before release within the body, and other tubular objects such as catheters or sheaths may pass through thesheath window 410 of thebare segment 400 but not through other portions of thebare segment 400. The outer diameter of other tubular objects such as a catheter or a sheath is not more than 11F, wherein the outer diameter of the other tubular objects is preferably 7F. Thesheath window 410 is arranged, so that other outer sheaths of the abdominal aorta coveredstent 100 can pass through thesheath window 410 under the condition that the abdominal aorta coveredstent 100 is not released, the outer sheaths of the high renal artery branch stents can be conveniently led into the renal artery through thesheath window 410 before the abdominal aorta coveredstent 100 is completely released, and the success rate of leading other stents into the high renal artery is greatly increased.

The proximal end of the coveredsection 500 is connected with the distal end of thebare section 400, the coveredmembrane 300 is covered on the coveredsection 500, the coveredsection 500 is used for isolating the aneurysm from blood flow and enabling the blood flow to flow through the coveredstent 100 of the abdominal aorta, and the coveredsection 500 comprises an uppermain body section 510, awindowing section 520 and a lowermain body section 580 which are sequentially connected.

Thefilm covering section 500 is connected with thebare section 400 by sewing or hot melting.

The main bodyupper section 510 has radial supporting force and can be used for anchoring the aorta abdominalis coveredstent 100, and the main bodyupper section 510 is not limited to be woven by metal wires or carved by metal tubes.

Further, referring to fig. 1 and 4, fig. 4 is a partial schematic view of the aorta abdominalis coveredstent 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, wherein the main bodyupper section 510 is provided with aU-shaped groove 511, and theU-shaped groove 511 is used for providing a channel for a branch port of an superior mesenteric artery.

Specifically, referring to fig. 4, the main bodyupper section 510 includes a plurality of support rings 513, and the plurality of support rings 513 are sequentially connected. AU-shaped slot 511 is formed in a plurality of bracket rings 513 adjacent the proximal end of theupper body section 510. Two sides of theU-shaped groove 511 are respectively fixed with asupport rod 512, and the distal end of eachsupport rod 512 is fixedly connected with asupport ring 513 at the distal end of thesupport rod 512, and the implementation manner is as follows: stitching, heat staking, welding, or mechanical attachment, etc. Since thedistal stent ring 513 of the main bodyupper section 510 is a complete ring, the main bodyupper section 510 can provide radial support force after being deployed, and the support force is transmitted from the distal stent ring of the main bodyupper section 510 to theU-shaped groove 511, so that the entire main bodyupper section 510 has good radial support force and can act as an anchoring region on the vessel wall. After the coveredstent 100 is implanted into a human body, the supportingrods 512 can be anchored and sealed at two sides of a branch blood vessel, so that the risk of I-type internal leakage is reduced.

TheU-shaped groove 511 may be fixed with a plurality of developing members for assisting the positioning of theU-shaped groove 511. During operation, theU-shaped slot 511 under X-ray can be clearly shown. The developing material may be provided by, but not limited to, connecting a developing part to thecoating film 300 around theU-shaped groove 511, or connecting a developing part to a supporting rod. The way to attach the development member may be, but is not limited to, sewing, heat staking, welding, etc.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic view of thefenestrated section 520 of the aorta abdominalisstent graft 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, wherein the proximal end of thefenestrated section 520 is connected to the distal end of the main bodyupper section 510. Thefenestration section 520 includes a highrenal section 521 and a lowrenal section 522. Thehigh kidney segment 521 is adjacent the bodyupper end 510 and thelow kidney segment 522 is adjacent the bodylower segment 580. Thehigh kidney segment 521 and thelow kidney segment 522 partially overlap, thehigh kidney window 530 is located within thehigh kidney segment 521, and thelow kidney window 540 is located within thelow kidney segment 522. Both the highrenal window 530 and the lowrenal window 540 are recessed inwardly of the stent body. The highrenal window 530 is used for communicating with the low renal artery, the lowrenal window 540 is used for communicating with the low renal artery, and the part above the lower edge of the highrenal window 530 in thefenestration section 520 has radial supporting force and can be used as an anchoring area.

Referring to fig. 5, thehigh kidney segment 521 includes ahigh kidney window 530 and a non-window region. Thelow kidney segment 522 includes alow kidney window 540 and a non-window region. There is an overlap between thehigh kidney segment 521 and thelow kidney segment 522. The highrenal window 530 and the lowrenal window 540 are of concave structures, and the concave structures ensure that the main body support adheres to the inner wall of the abdominal aorta, and simultaneously reserve spaces for other supports arranged at the high renal artery and the low renal artery, so that the other supports arranged at the high renal artery and the low renal artery are prevented from being extruded. In other embodiments, the highrenal segment 521 and the lowrenal segment 522 may also be free of overlapping regions.

Specifically, referring to fig. 6a, fig. 6a is a partial schematic view of thefenestration section 520 of the aorta abdominalis coveredstent 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, where thehyperrenal window 530 includes astent frame 531 and ahyperrenal opening 534, thestent frame 531 is located at thehyperrenal section 521, thecover membrane 300 is covered on thestent frame 531, thecover membrane 300 located on thestent frame 531 is provided with thehyperrenal opening 534, and thehyperrenal opening 534 is used for communicating with the ostium of the hyperrenal artery blood vessel.

Thewindowing section 520 comprises a plurality of bracket rings connected in sequence, and thebracket frame 531 is formed by two adjacent bracket rings. Specifically, referring to fig. 6a, thesupport frame 531 is composed of anupper support frame 532 and alower support frame 533, and theupper support frame 532 and thelower support frame 533 are respectively a part of two adjacent support rings. Because the stent rings are all complete ring structures, thestent frame 531 can cling to the vessel wall, providing a supporting force to anchor the abdominalaorta stent graft 100.

Thestent frame 531 of thereniform window 530 has a stent body with a coating portion that is recessed inward because of its unsupported structure. The concave shape leaves a position for the branch support, so that the branch structure is not extruded. The high renal artery in the operation only needs to be located within the range of thesupport frame 531, so that the smoothness of the high renal artery is ensured, and the abdominal aorta coveredstent 100 can adapt to the anatomical morphology of different people, namely the abdominal aorta coveredstent 100 does not need to be customized, and the change range of the high renal artery openings of different people is considered to be applicable if the change range is within the range of thesupport frame 531.

Referring to fig. 6b, fig. 6b is a partial schematic view of thefenestration section 520 of the aorta abdominalisstent graft 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, wherein the lowrenal window 540 comprises asuture frame 541 formed bysutures 542 and 543 and a lowrenal opening 544, thesuture frame 541 is located at the lowrenal section 522, the stent graft in the lowrenal window 540 is connected with thestent graft 300 outside the lowrenal window 540 by thesutures 542 and 543, the lowrenal opening 544 is formed in the lowrenal window 540, and the lowrenal opening 544 is used for communicating with the ostium of the low renal artery.

Referring to fig. 7, in the present embodiment, the low-kidney window 540 is designed to be a concave structure, and the implementation manner may be: through the heat treatment method, the stent ring of thelow kidney segment 522 is partially recessed inwards to form an innerconcave structure 550, the innerconcave structure 550 reserves a space for the branch stent at the low kidney artery, and because the stent ring part in thelow kidney window 540 and thelower stent frame 533 of thehigh kidney window 530 belong to the same stent ring, the part of the stent ring in thelow kidney window 540 is in an inner concave shape, so that the inward recessed stent ring is still a closed-loop stent and can still provide radial support force, namely the stent ring not only reserves a space for the branch stent, but also has the function of riveting. Theconcave structure 550 is mechanically or welded to thelow kidney segment 522 to form a unitary body. Such a design ensures that the anchoring zone of thestent graft 100 of the present invention is sufficiently long. The low-kidney window 540 is not limited by the stent frame, can be set to be larger (larger than the area of the high-kidney window 530), is more flexible in shape, can be rectangular, circular, elliptical, rhombic and the like, can further improve the adaptability of the abdominal aorta coveredstent 100 to the anatomical morphology of different people, and achieves the purpose of no need of customization. It should be noted that the present application presents the anatomical features that the right renal artery is slightly higher than the left renal artery, but in practice, there are cases where the left renal artery is slightly higher than the right renal artery, or the left and right renal arteries are almost as high. For patients with left renal artery higher than right renal artery, the same method is adopted, and the design of mirror image exchange of thenaked section 400, the uppermain body section 510 and thewindowing section 520 can be applied, and for patients with the same height of the left and right renal arteries, the lowrenal window 540 of the product is large in area and flexible in shape, so that the product can also be applied.

In other embodiments, a plurality of developing devices may be fixed to only thesupport frame 531 and not thesuture frame 541, or a plurality of developing devices may be fixed to only thesuture frame 541 and not thesupport frame 531, or no developing devices may be fixed to both thesupport frame 531 and thesuture frame 541.

In this embodiment, the circumferential orientation of the highrenal window 530 and the lowrenal window 540 may vary. The variation range is as follows: setting the midpoint of theU-shaped groove 511 to be 12 points, setting thehigh kidney window 530 to be 8-10 points, and setting thelow kidney window 540 to be 1-4 points; or the midpoint of theU-shaped groove 511 is set to be 12 points, and thehigh kidney window 530 is 2: 30-4 o 'clock,low kidney window 540 is 8 o' clock-10: 30.
