Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and particularly relates to a left auricle occluder.
Background
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in clinic, the incidence rate of which is 1.0% -1.5%, and the incidence rate increases with age. Atrial fibrillation can cause the heart function of a patient to be impaired, and can also induce thrombosis, severely affecting quality of life. Because of the unique position relation of the left auricle and the characteristic of independent functions, researchers propose that the left auricle can be closed or removed by methods such as surgical operation, thoracic minimally invasive operation, interventional instrument blocking and the like, and embolism of patients suffering from atrial fibrillation is prevented. However, the surgical method of occlusion or excision of the left auricle is generally performed only simultaneously with the thoracotomy, and the patient is difficult to receive the simple left auricle excision or closure, especially for the elderly or critically ill patients. The interventional left auricle closure operation has small wound, does not need chest opening and extracorporeal circulation, and is considered to have more clinical application prospect.
The existing left auricle plugging device can be roughly divided into an inner plug type plugging disc type plugging device from the aspect of modeling. For example, chinese patent document CN104918559B discloses an inner plug type left atrial appendage occluder whose main body includes a stent (provided with barbs around) laser-cut thermo-formed from a nickel-titanium material and a polytetrafluoroethylene porous permeable membrane. When the inner plug type left auricle plugging device plugs into the left auricle, the left auricle can not be plugged through the deformation of the bracket because the shape, the inner cavity shape and the depth of the left auricle part of different individuals are different, and the plugging can not be stably fixed, so that the thrombus formation can not be avoided.
Patent document WO2018069523A1 discloses a plug-disc type left atrial appendage occlusion device, the main structure of which consists of two butterfly-shaped disc-shaped structures, and a waist-shaped structure is formed between the two plug discs. The butterfly-shaped blades are arranged in the left auricle to prevent the stopper from shifting, and the butterfly-shaped cap seals the mouth of the left auricle. However, because the inner structures of the left auricles of different individuals are different, the disc structures cannot adapt to the shapes of the inner cavities of the different left auricles, and the two butterfly-shaped disc structures cannot be independently formed and mutually influence the fixed positions. The left auricle part cannot be completely attached, and optimal fixation and blood flow blocking are difficult to achieve.

Additionally, in order to simplify the drawing for ease of understanding, components having the same structure or function in some of the drawings are shown schematically with only one of them, or only one of them is labeled. Herein, "a" means not only "only this one" but also "more than one" case.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1-5c, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a left atrial appendage occlusion device includes a cover 300, an adjuster 200, and an anchor 100. As shown in fig. 4, the cover 300 includes a cover holder 320 and a cover film 330. In this embodiment, the cover support 320 is made of nickel-titanium alloy material, and is manufactured by laser cutting and heat setting. The covering film is animal pericardium after cross-linking and curing treatment. The cover support 320 includes a single or multiple hollowed-out structures, which can reduce the duty cycle of the metal material, thereby facilitating compression and release of the device, and the hollowed-out structures also facilitate suturing. In the present embodiment, the cover holder 320 has a disc shape, and a connection point 310 is provided at a central position thereof, and the adjusting member 200 is connected to the cover holder 320 through the connection point 310. As shown in fig. 1, the anchor 100 is a spherical structure made of a silicone material. The anchor 100 has a cavity formed therein, the surface of which includes a plurality of anchoring structures, in this embodiment barbs 101, which stably secure the anchor 100 to the inner wall of the left atrial appendage lumen, as shown in fig. 2. At least one passage is provided inside the regulating member 200, which passes through the regulating member 200. In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 5b, the adjusting member 200 is a multi-lumen polymeric tube. In this embodiment, two ends of the adjusting member 200 are fixedly connected to the anchor member 100 and the cover member 300, respectively, by means of screw connection. In other embodiments of the present invention, the connection may be achieved by glue or other means known to those skilled in the art.
In use, the left atrial appendage occlusion device is compressed and received into the sheath of the delivery system, as shown in figures 3 a-3 c. After the delivery system is in place, the anchor 100 is first released from the sheath. Liquid is then injected into the cavity of the anchor 100 via the channel (i.e., lumen in this embodiment) in the regulator 200, causing the anchor 100 to expand to a predetermined volume. The cross-sectional dimension of the expanded anchor 100 is greater than the dimension of the left atrial appendage, so that the anchor 100 does not fall out of the left atrial appendage. The outer surface of the anchor 100 is closely attached to the inner wall of the left atrial appendage, and barbs on the surface penetrate the inner wall surface of the left atrial appendage to combine with the pressure formed on the inner wall surface of the left atrial appendage after expansion of the anchor 100, thereby providing a fastening force to the anchor 100 to firmly anchor it. The cover 300 is then released and after its complete release, the stent graft 320 quickly returns to a disc shape due to the elasticity of the nitinol stent. The cover 300 is attached to the left auricle opening by adjusting the length of the piece 200, and if necessary, the cover 300 is connected with the left auricle opening by stitching, thereby realizing the blocking of the left auricle.
As shown in fig. 5a and 5b, the regulator 200 includes an inner tube 230 through the lumen of which the lumen of the anchor 100 is filled. As shown in fig. 5c, the adjusting member 200 is provided at the outside thereof with an adjusting unit 220, and the adjusting unit 220 includes a single or a plurality of bellows-shaped elastic units 221 made of nitinol to provide stable elastic force to the adjusting member 200. In this embodiment, one or more polymer sutures 222 are further provided outside the corrugated elastic unit 221 and connected between the two ends of the adjusting member 200, for fixing the overall length of the adjusting member 200.
Example 2:
the technical solution of embodiment 2 of the present invention is basically the same as that of embodiment 1, except that the structure of the anchor 100 adopts a combined structure of a stent and a membrane. As shown in fig. 6a, in this embodiment, the anchor 100 includes an anchor bracket 120 and a blocker film 130. The anchor bracket 120 is made of nickel titanium alloy, and a plurality of barb structures 101 are welded on the surface thereof. The anchoring bracket 120 is covered with a choke film 130, which is a multi-layer compact polymer film. Together, anchor stent 120 and blocker film 130 form a closed structure of anchor 100 in the shape of a balloon.
Example 3:
embodiment 3 of the present invention is substantially the same as embodiment 1, except that the external anchoring structure of the anchor 100 is a hemispherical protrusion 102. As shown in fig. 6b, the anchor 100 is a unitary structure made of an elastic material (e.g., silicone) with a cavity inside, and has hemispherical protrusions 102 on its outer surface. After the anchor 100 is expanded to a predetermined volume, the hemispherical protrusion 102 of the surface thereof applies pressure to the inner wall surface of the left atrial appendage, which causes the anchor 100 to be stably fixed in the left atrial appendage.
The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
