Description

Valve balloon dilation catheter and valve replacement system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a valve balloon dilation catheter and a valve replacement system.
Background
With aging population, the incidence rate of valvular heart disease is obviously increased, and the traditional surgical treatment is still the first treatment means for most patients with severe valvular disease at present, but the risks of large wounds, high postoperative mortality, more complications and the like exist. In recent years, transcatheter valve replacement/repair operations are mature and widely applied, especially the evidence-based basis of transcatheter aortic valve replacement operations is relatively sufficient, the trauma is greatly reduced, recommendations of European and American heart valve disease treatment guidelines are obtained, and the transcatheter valve replacement/repair operations are the milestone progress in the field of heart valve disease interventional treatment.
Balloon expandable valve prostheses (also known as balloon expandable valves) for replacing a native valve, such as an aortic valve, require the use of a valve balloon expandable catheter for expansion, and also require the use of a valve balloon expandable catheter for pre-expanding the native valve prior to implantation of the valve prosthesis. However, in existing valve replacement systems, such as aortic valve replacement systems, after the valve prosthesis is released through balloon dilation, only an imaging passageway can be provided through an imaging catheter pre-arranged at the sinus orifice of the coronary artery to observe the aortic blood flow and the condition of the coronary artery branch, so that whether the mitral valve structure is affected after the valve prosthesis is implanted or not and whether the condition of the mitral valve regurgitation is inconvenient to observe are inconvenient, and it is often necessary to reestablish an imaging passageway to the left ventricle to carry out imaging observation after the valve balloon dilation catheter is withdrawn, so as to determine whether the implanted valve prosthesis affects the mitral valve structure and observe the condition of the mitral valve regurgitation. Therefore, the existing valve saccule dilating catheter is adopted, the operation process is complicated, the operation time is prolonged, and the operation consumable cost is increased.
In addition, valve balloon dilation catheters are relatively resistant during pushing, requiring the use of super-hard guide wires to establish the trajectory of the femoral artery to the left ventricle. According to the aortic arch anatomical structure of a human body, as the curvature radius from the descending aorta to the ascending aorta is smaller, the valve balloon dilation catheter has difficulty in following the super-hard guide wire, and particularly when the super-hard guide wire spans an aortic valve (can be called a valve crossing), an operator needs to be skillfully operated to adjust the winding form of the distal end of the super-hard guide wire, so that the super-hard guide wire can be well attached to the heart apex position of the left ventricle to form a strong support, and the balloon can smoothly span the valve. Thus, the transvalve delivery process of existing valve balloon dilation catheters is difficult and requires a high level of skill on the part of the operator.

Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
In the technical field of interventional medical devices, the end of the device close to the operator during surgery is generally referred to as a proximal end, and the end of the device remote from the operator is generally referred to as a distal end. "axial" refers to a direction parallel to the line connecting the proximal and distal centers. "radial" refers to a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the axial direction. "circumferential" refers to a direction about the axial direction. "central axis" refers to the center line of the proximal and distal ends. Moreover, the use of the terms first, second, etc. do not denote any order or importance, but rather the terms first, second, etc. are used to distinguish one element from another.
It is to be understood that the terminology used in the description and claims of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The term "comprising" and any variations thereof is intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. Furthermore, the present invention may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in the present embodiment. The following specific examples are provided to facilitate a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure, in which terms indicating orientations of the components, up, down, left, right, etc., are merely for the locations of the illustrated structures in the corresponding drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, 2a and 2b, the valve replacement system 1000 provided by the present invention includes a supporting guidewire 100, a balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 and a valve balloon dilation catheter 300, wherein the supporting guidewire 100 may be a super-hard guidewire 100 commonly used in the industry.
As shown in connection with fig. 3-6, the valve balloon dilation catheter 300 includes a balloon 10, a catheter 20, and a functional tube 30. The catheter 20 comprises a first guidewire lumen 201 and a first imaging lumen 202, preferably the first guidewire lumen 201 and the first imaging lumen 202 extend through the catheter 20 in the axial direction. The balloon 10 includes oppositely disposed distal and proximal seal segments 11, 12. The catheter 20 is sealingly connected to the proximal sealing section 12 of the balloon 10. The functional tube 30 comprises a contrast segment 31 and a flexible support segment 33 connected to the distal end of the contrast segment 31. The proximal seal of contrast segment 31 is coupled to distal seal segment 11 of balloon 10. The contrast segment 31 is provided with a contrast hole 3101 exposing the balloon 10. The contrast aperture 3101 communicates with the first imaging lumen 202. The flexible support section 33 has a second guidewire lumen 301 extending therethrough from its proximal end to its distal end and communicating with the first guidewire lumen 201 (see fig. 6), preferably the second guidewire lumen 301 extends axially through the flexible support section 33. As shown in fig. 3 and 6, in the natural state, the flexible support section 33 is in a rolled state, i.e., the flexible support section 33 does not extend in a straight line, but is curled about a centerline that is perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the axis of the catheter 20 and balloon 10, and the curl may be coplanar with the axis of the catheter 20 and balloon 10.
The balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 may be mounted in a radially compressed state on the balloon 10 of the valve balloon dilation catheter 300. In the working state, the first guide wire cavity 201 and the second guide wire cavity 301 are sleeved on the superhard guide wire 100. Taking the example of a balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 replacing a native aortic valve, the flexible support section 33 can be fitted with a super-hard guidewire 100 into the left ventricle; after the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 spans the valve, the contrast segment 31 also enters the left ventricle. Because the contrast segment 31 is provided with the contrast hole 3101 exposing the balloon 10, the contrast hole 3101 is communicated with the first contrast cavity 202 axially penetrating the catheter 20, and after the balloon-expanded valve prosthesis 200 is expanded and released by the balloon 10, contrast liquid can be infused into the left ventricle through the contrast segment 31, so that an operator can observe and judge whether the implanted balloon-expanded valve prosthesis 200 affects the mitral valve structure, observe the reflux condition of the mitral valve and the like, and the operator does not need to reestablish a contrast passage to the left ventricle to observe after the valve balloon-expanded catheter is withdrawn like the prior art, thereby simplifying the operation process, saving the operation time and reducing the operation consumable cost. In addition, be provided with the flexible support section 33 that is the winding state under the natural state on the function pipe 30, flexible support section 33 gets into the left ventricle along superhard guide wire 100, flexible support section 33 cooperates with superhard guide wire 100, can provide stronger support for the propelling movement of sacculus 10 and ball expansion valve prosthesis 200 to improve the trafficability characteristic of valve sacculus expansion pipe 300, not only can shorten the time that sacculus 10 and ball expansion valve prosthesis 200 strided the lamella, improve the operating efficiency, the operation is comparatively simple moreover.
It should be noted that the term "natural state" refers to a state in which the flexible support section 33 is independent of the superhard guide wire 100, i.e. not sleeved on the superhard guide wire 100 and not constrained by other elements. The term "operational state" refers to a state in which the valve replacement system 1000 is placed into a patient, and in particular, the operational state may include a stage of delivering the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 and the valve balloon expandable catheter 300 or delivering the valve balloon expandable catheter 300 alone, a stage of expanding the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 to expand a native valve or the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200, a visualization stage, and the like.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that fig. 2a is merely an example of a valve replacement system 1000 and is not intended to be limiting of the valve replacement system 1000, and that the valve replacement system 1000 may include more components than shown in fig. 2a, or may combine certain components, or different components, e.g., the valve replacement system 1000 may further include a steering handle or the like for driving the balloon-expandable valve prosthesis 200 and the valve balloon dilation catheter 300 in the direction of extension of the super-hard guidewire.
As shown in fig. 2a, the distal end of the superhard guidewire 100 is provided with a coiled structure 101. In particular, the distal end of the coiled structure 101 is coiled at least approximately one revolution so that the ultra-hard wire 100 can fit at the apex of the left ventricle LV to provide support for the advancement of the balloon 10 and the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200. The existing material of the medical super-hard guide wire is suitable for the material of the super-hard guide wire 100 of the present invention, and the present invention is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, a super hard wire of 0.035 "gauge is preferred.
The balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 refers to a radially compressible, expandable prosthetic heart valve that is implanted in a patient's heart by balloon expansion to replace a native heart valve that presents with severe lesions, such as aortic valve AV. The balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 may be an existing balloon expandable valve prosthesis, and the present invention will not be described in detail.
Of course, the valve balloon dilation catheter 300 can be used not only to dilate the balloon dilation valve prosthesis 200, but also as shown in fig. 2b, the valve balloon dilation catheter 300 can be used alone, and the valve balloon dilation catheter 300 can be delivered such that after the balloon 10 spans the valve, the balloon 10 is further dilated to pre-dilate or further dilate the native diseased valve such as aortic valve AV.
As shown in fig. 3, the balloon 10 further includes a working section 13 (the working section 13 is generally cylindrical after the balloon has been inflated and expanded) and two tapered sections 14 connected to opposite ends of the working section 13, the tapered sections 14 respectively connecting the distal seal section 11 and the proximal seal section 12. The balloon 10 may be configured and dimensioned according to clinical requirements. Alternatively, the balloon 10 may be classified into specifications of 20mm, 23mm, 26mm, 29mm, etc. according to the diameter of the working section. The materials of balloon 10 may include, but are not limited to, conventional balloon materials such as polylaurolactam, segmented polyether amide, polyurethane, polyethylene terephthalate, and the like. The diameter and length dimensions of the balloon 10 may be tailored to the size requirements of the balloon-expandable valve prosthesis 200 or to the appropriate pre-expanded dimensions of the native diseased valve. The balloon forming process uses a tube to stretch and blow mold the balloon, which may be hot air or laser welded to the catheter 20. The catheter 20 provides at least one passageway through which the balloon may be inflated to expand the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 or to pre-expand a native diseased valve.
In the present embodiment, the contrast segment 31 and the flexible support segment 33 of the functional tube 30 are integrally formed, so that the assembly efficiency of the whole valve balloon dilation catheter 300 can be improved. In some embodiments, contrast segment 31 may be fixedly attached to flexible support segment 33, the manner of the fixed attachment being not limited to adhesive, welding, or the like.
In this embodiment, in the natural state, the flexible support section 33 is curled in a pigtail shape. In particular, the distal end of the flexible support section 33 is provided with a winding structure 331. In said natural state, the flexible support section 33 is wound at least one turn, i.e. the number of turns of the winding structure 331 comprises at least one turn, preferably the flexible support section 33 is wound 1-2 turns.
The flexible support section 33 is made of a soft material having elasticity. The shore hardness of the elastic soft material is preferably in the range of 60A-90A. The flexible material having elasticity includes, but is not limited to, at least one of block polyether amide, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber. Because the flexible support segment 33 has better compliance and elasticity, the flexible support segment 33 is able to conform to the coiled structure 101 of the distal end of the super-hard wire 100 during the process of the flexible support segment 33 following the super-hard wire 100.
The outer diameter of the flexible support section 33 gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end of the flexible support section 33, and the distal end of the flexible support section 33 is provided with a tapered transition head or TIP head 332, thereby improving the smoothness of the flexible support section 33 traveling. The outer surface of the tapered transition head 332 smoothly transitions with the exposed surface of the ultra-hard wire 100 as the ultra-hard wire 100 is threaded into the flexible support section 33.
Because of the good compliance and tracking of the flexible support section 33, the flexible support section 33 is relatively easy to traverse the aortic valve AV with the ultra-hard wire 100. When the flexible support segment 33 is fully passed over the aortic valve AV into the left ventricle LV, at which point the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 radially compressed on the balloon 10 is in the descending aorta, the flexible support segment 33 is sleeved outside the super-hard wire 100, which tends to revert to its natural state, thereby enabling the super-hard wire 100 to be affected to enhance the coiling and support properties of the distal end of the super-hard wire 100, whereby the balloon 10 and the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 are more likely to pass over the aortic arch, reach the aortic valve AV site and achieve valve crossing (as shown in fig. 2 a). After the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 spans the valve, the flexible support section 33 is sleeved outside the distal end of the superhard guide wire 100, and the two are matched to be propped against the apex of the heart in a pig tail shape to provide axial support for the valve balloon expandable catheter 300, so that when the balloon 10 is inflated to expand the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 or pre-expand the native diseased valve, the displacement of the balloon 10 can be avoided to continuously expand the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 or the native diseased valve at a predetermined position.
Referring to fig. 3 to 5, the catheter 20 includes an inner tube 21 and an outer tube 23 sleeved outside the inner tube 21 and radially spaced from the inner tube 21. The proximal sealing section 12 of the balloon 10 is sealingly connected to the outer tube 23. A balloon inflation lumen 203 is formed between the inner tube 21 and the outer tube 23 in communication with the interior of the balloon 10. The inner tube 21 axially extends through a first guide wire lumen 201 and a first contrast lumen 202 radially spaced from the first guide wire lumen 201 and communicating with the contrast hole 3101.
Wherein, the inner tube 21 and the outer tube 23 are made of polymer materials. The polymeric material includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a polydodecyl lactam and a block polyether acyl. The materials of the catheter in the prior art are suitable for the inner tube 21 and the outer tube 23 of the present invention, and will not be described in detail herein. The materials of the inner tube 21 and the outer tube 23 may be the same or different.
The first guide wire cavity 201 extends along the central axis of the inner tube 21, the first imaging cavity 202 extends parallel to the central axis of the inner tube 21, and the first imaging cavity 202 is arranged at the periphery of the first guide wire cavity 201 and circumferentially. The number of contrast holes 3101 and the number of first imaging lumens 202 may each comprise one or more. The plurality of first imaging lumens 202 are uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction of the first guidewire lumen 201, and the plurality of imaging holes 3101 are uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction of the imaging section 31 to increase the infusion speed of the imaging fluid. Optionally, a plurality of first ostomy lumens 202 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the first guidewire lumen 201. The radial cross-section of the first contrast chamber 202 is substantially fan-shaped, thereby increasing the cross-sectional area of the first contrast chamber 202 and thereby increasing the contrast agent output efficiency. The plurality of contrast holes 3101 are arranged at intervals, and the longitudinal direction of the contrast holes 3101 is parallel to the central axis of the contrast segment 31. The shape of the contrast aperture 3101 may include at least one of a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, or a polygon.
After the balloon 10 completes filling and expanding the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 or the native valve, the contrast medium can be directly infused into the left ventricle through the first imaging lumen 202 and the contrast hole 3101 communicated with the first imaging lumen 202, so that an operator can observe and judge whether the expansion of the implanted balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 or the native valve affects the mitral valve structure and observe the regurgitation condition of the mitral valve, and the like, thereby providing a timely image reference for making subsequent treatment measures.
Referring to fig. 6-7 together, in this embodiment, the proximal seal segment 12 of the balloon 10 is sealingly connected to the outer tube 23 by a seal 24. In other embodiments, the outer tube 23 may be directly sealingly embedded within the proximal sealing section 12 of the balloon 10. Specifically, the seal 24 is sleeved outside the proximal seal segment 12 of the balloon 10 and the distal end of the outer tube 23. In this embodiment, a balloon inflation channel 1201 is formed between the proximal sealing section 12 of the balloon 10 and the inner tube 21 in communication with the balloon inflation lumen 203 to inflate the balloon 10. A plurality of axially extending supports 231 are provided between the inner tube 21 and the outer tube 23 to provide for the inner tube 21 and the outer tube 23 to be spaced apart in the radial direction of the catheter 20 to form a balloon filling chamber 203 between the inner tube 21 and the outer tube 23. It will be appreciated that support 231 is axially provided with a lumen communicating with balloon inflation lumen 203 for the flow of inflation 10 balloon fluid therethrough. A support 231 extending beyond the distal end of the outer tube 23 is sealingly connected to the proximal sealing section 12 of the balloon 10, ensuring tightness between the outer tube 23 and the proximal sealing section 12 of the balloon 10. In other embodiments, the distal end of the outer tube 23 may also abut directly against the proximal seal segment 12.
Referring to fig. 6 to 8, the contrast section 31 of the functional tube 30 is provided with a first spacing cavity 3102 extending through the second guide wire cavity 301 along the axial direction, the inner tube 21 is embedded in the first spacing cavity 3102 in a sealing manner, and the first guide wire cavity 201 and the second guide wire cavity 301 can be in butt joint in a sealing manner. Optionally, the inner wall of the first guidewire lumen 201 is flush with the inner wall of the second guidewire lumen 301 so as not to obstruct the super-hard guidewire 100 from passing through the first guidewire lumen 201 and the second guidewire lumen 301, thereby improving the smoothness of the valve balloon dilation catheter 300 traveling along the super-hard guidewire.

Contrast medium flows from the contrast port 402 into the first and second imaging lumens 202, 3104 and out of the imaging bore 3101, thereby infusing contrast medium into the left ventricle after the balloon 10 expands the balloon-expandable valve prosthesis 200 or expands the native diseased valve. Inflation port 403 and balloon inflation lumen 203 form a channel for inflating or deflating balloon 10 to effect the inflation or deflation of balloon 10 by the inflation or deflation of liquid or gas into balloon 10. Specifically, inflation port 403 may be connected to an external pressure pump, and liquid or gas may enter or exit the interior of balloon 10 via inflation port 403 and balloon inflation lumen 203 to effect inflation or deflation of balloon 10. It will be appreciated that one or more filling lumens may be provided within the interior of catheter 20.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the proximal end of the catheter hub 40 is provided with a first branch lumen 41 communicating with the first guidewire lumen 201 and the guidewire port 401, a second branch lumen 42 communicating with the first imaging lumen 202 and the imaging port 402, and a third branch lumen 43 communicating with the balloon 10 and the filling lumen of the filling port 403.

And a second step of: referring to fig. 2a, the valve balloon dilation catheter 300 is sleeved over the super hard guidewire 100 and pushed so that the flexible support segment 33 of the valve balloon dilation catheter 300 passes across the aortic valve into the left ventricle.
And a third step of: continuing to push the valve balloon dilation catheter 300, the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 disposed on the valve balloon dilation catheter 300 is moved across the aortic valve to a predetermined position.
Fourth step: before the balloon 10 is expanded, contrast fluid is infused into the left ventricle through the contrast segment 31 of the functional tube 30 on the valve balloon dilation catheter 300 to see if the left ventricle and mitral valve are working properly.
Fifth step: the balloon 10 is inflated, the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 is expanded, and then the pressure is rapidly released, securing the balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 in place in the aortic valve annulus.
Sixth step: contrast fluid is infused into the left ventricle through the contrast segment 31 of the functional tube 30 to observe and determine whether the implanted balloon expandable valve prosthesis 200 affects the mitral valve structure and observe the regurgitation condition of the mitral valve, to evaluate the effectiveness of the TAVI procedure and determine whether further therapeutic action is needed.
