Description

Left auricle filling instrument
Technical Field
The application belongs to the field of medical equipment, concretely relates to left atrial appendage filling instrument.
Background
The left atrial appendage is an elongated, curved, blind-end structure that extends down and forward along the anterior sidewall of the left atrium. The left auricle is a long tubular structure with a hook, the wall of the auricle forms a trabecula by the pectinate muscle, and gaps are arranged among the trabeculae. A neck with the diameter of 10-40 mm is arranged between the left auricle and the left atrial chamber and is positioned between the left superior pulmonary vein and the mitral valve annulus, and the coronaries of the coronary artery are close to the opening base part of the left auricle. The unique hook-shaped structure of the left atrial appendage and the rich trabecula musculi of the intima surface are easy to cause blood stasis.
Left atrial appendage occlusion and oral anticoagulation are currently the main methods to reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation stroke. Although effective at preventing atrial fibrillation stroke, compliance with long-term dosing is a problem and once anticoagulant is discontinued, the risk of stroke is as high as if the medication had not been taken. Left atrial appendage occlusion adopts the occluder to occlude the left atrial appendage in an interventional operation mode, so that thrombus of the left atrial appendage is prevented from being formed during atrial fibrillation, and the risk of long-term disability or death caused by thromboembolism of patients suffering from atrial fibrillation is reduced. It can effectively reduce the fatality rate and disability rate of patients and reduce the occurrence of bleeding. Atrial appendage occlusion avoids the various bleeding risks of patients with atrial fibrillation taking anticoagulants, such as common gastrointestinal bleeding; and the elderly are prone to falling caused by poor body quality, and left atrial appendage occlusion reduces the risk of the elderly falling and being prone to intracranial hemorrhage when taking anticoagulants. Left atrial appendage occlusion is a new treatment trend for preventing stroke of patients with atrial fibrillation globally at present.
The therapeutic approach of implanting a left atrial appendage occluder via minimally invasive intervention has many advantages over traditional surgery. However, the main stent material of the currently clinically used left heart occluder is a nickel-titanium alloy wire, and since such metal materials cannot be degraded and can react with human tissues to inflammation, blood coagulation and the like after being implanted for a long time, even a certain degree of damage is caused, certain defects exist, including the following use risks: (1) at present, a frame of the left atrial appendage occluder is made of metal as a raw material, the metal material is not degraded, and the problem of rejection is inevitably caused, so long-term and constant taking of anticoagulant drugs is required, and the risk of hemolytic hemorrhage is caused to some patients; (2) when the metal stent is used in vivo for a long time, the safety problem caused by triggering metal corrosion is caused. Once it happens, the risk of re-operation is high, (3) it is not good for the growth of heart cells on the surface of the stent. After the surface of the cardiac occluder is completely endothelialized and the cardiac defect is repaired by the body's own tissue, the cardiac occluder does not have to remain in the body at all. Therefore, the ideal heart plugging device should provide a temporary bridge infection for self-repair of the heart, and be degraded by the body after the completion of the historical mission, so that the defect is completely repaired by the self-tissue, thereby avoiding long-term complications and potential safety hazards caused by the retention of metal in the body. The degradable occluder in the prior art also has a plurality of problems.
Patent AU2020332564a1 discloses a medical implant (1) suitable for closing defects (D) or cavities, preferably defects in the atrium or the septal wall (W) or the left atrial appendix. The implant (1) comprises an occlusion device (6) and has two states. It is adapted to be deployed to a defect site (D) in a first state, where it can be brought into a second state by an activation mechanism. It is adapted to close said defect (D) in said second state. The patent scheme is that a support bracket is made of polylactic acid, and the polylactic acid is a bio-based material and has good biocompatibility and biodegradability, but the polylactic acid with high molecular weight is difficult to obtain. The synthesis of high molecular weight polylactic acid requires complex and expensive equipment and very strict requirements on the process, which finally leads to violent increase of the cost of the polylactic acid and seriously hinders the successful marketing of the polylactic acid. Meanwhile, polylactic acid itself has physical property defects such as poor impact resistance, low heat resistance, and the like. In addition, the polylactic acid product has simple structure and single product type. These directly limit the application field of polylactic acid and hinder the commercial success of polylactic acid.
Patent CN110313946A discloses an occlusion device and a method for making the same, comprising a frame and a flow-blocking membrane, wherein the frame comprises a waist portion and a barb connected with at least one end of the waist portion, the waist portion is coated with a solid xerogel, and the flow-blocking membrane is fixed at least one end of the waist portion and/or inside the barb. The patent technology utilizes a braided bracket to be supported at the position of a left auricle, the waist part of the bracket is coated with solid xerogel, and the characteristic that the bracket expands after being placed in a body and contacted with blood can fill irregular-shaped tissue defects and can be applied to the conditions that the edges of the defect parts are narrow and the shapes of the defect parts are complex. However, the fixing mode of the barbs at the two ends still damages tissues, the framework part is also undegradable, and the safety problem caused by triggering metal corrosion exists after long-term implantation. Once this occurs, the risk of re-surgery is high.
Patent EP3920810a1 discloses a system, device and method for closing the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA). The device excludes LAA from the blood. The implantable device is placed through a transcatheter in the LAA and secured inside the LAA. The implant includes an expandable and flexible framework and an expandable and conformable tubular foam. The tether deployment and retraction system includes a handle for controlling the pusher and tether. The pusher can be moved a certain distance away from the implant without changing the orientation of the implant while the clamp remains fixed to the implant. The tether is separated and the control on the handpiece is proximally retracted a distance such that the cutting end is distally advanced at least twice the distance. The loader comprises a conical section with guides and a container for immersing the foam prior to loading and laying. Utilize the tissue anchor to fix in the left atrial appendage in this patent scheme, during the operation, need find suitable fixed position through the influence, its operation degree of difficulty is higher to, the mode effect that this kind of anchoring mode does not have support inflation support far away is stable.
Patent US8603128B2 discloses an embolization device for occluding a body lumen, comprising one or more elongated, expandable, hydrophilic embolizing elements which are non-releasably carried along the length of an elongated filamentous carrier, preferably made of very thin, highly flexible nickel/titanium alloy filaments or microcoils. According to the technical scheme, the filamentous carrier is made of very thin and highly flexible nickel/titanium alloy filaments or microcoils, and after the device is implanted, if the highly flexible nickel/titanium alloy filaments can provide better supporting force, the nickel/titanium alloy filaments cannot be degraded, and the safety problem caused by triggering metal corrosion exists after the device is implanted for a long time. Once this occurs, the risk of re-surgery is high.
