Description

Degradable copper-based shape memory alloy vascular stent and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a degradable copper-based shape memory alloy vascular stent and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the increasing life expectancy and aging population of humans, vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, hemangiomas and interlayer threats will become exacerbated over time. Besides the traditional drug treatment, the intravascular stent can play roles of supporting and guiding blood flow, and is widely applied to the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, vascular trauma, vascular defects and other diseases due to the good performance of the intravascular stent in the aspect of vascular reconstruction. However, conventional non-degradable metallic stents remain in the patient for the life after treatment, and users must take anticoagulants, etc. for a long period of time. These characteristics of non-degradable stents determine their limitations of use and the potential safety hazards present.
The stent effect exerted by the stent on the vessel after the first 6-12 months of arterial remodeling and healing is considered unnecessary. Bioabsorbable stents can provide mechanical support early and be gradually absorbed within 1-2 years, thereby reducing or even eliminating adverse effects such as thrombus and restenosis within the stent. Biodegradable polymers such as biodegradable metals made of iron, magnesium or zinc and polylactic acid are suitable candidates for bioabsorbable stents. Because the mechanical properties of the polymer material are limited, the defects of low radial supporting force, too thick wall thickness and the like of the polymer material cannot be overcome at present. The biodegradable metal stent has excellent mechanical properties, wherein the corrosion degradation rate of the zinc alloy stent is moderate, and the requirement of maintaining the vascular supporting effect for 4-12 months can be met. The patent application with publication number of CN106913916B discloses application of a degradable zinc-based alloy implant material in preparation of vascular stents, fe and Cu are introduced into the material, so that the mechanical properties of the implant material are improved, and the strong plasticity meets the basic requirements of vascular stent materials. However, degradable iron-, magnesium-or zinc-based metallic vascular stents have a small elastic deformation, and there is a risk that the stent deforms with the movement of muscles and joints, resulting in partial or complete occlusion of the vessel. Therefore, the existing degradable metal stents are applied to the cardiovascular intervention field and can not be applied to the fields such as peripheral vascular or nerve intervention.
The shape memory alloy has super elasticity, can generate large-amplitude reversible deformation when being subjected to external force, and then returns to the original shape after the external force is removed, and cannot generate plastic deformation. The nickel-titanium shape memory alloy stent has good super elasticity at body temperature (37 ℃), and has been widely used in the fields of peripheral vascular intervention and the like. A nickel-titanium alloy stent in a human lumen is disclosed in the patent application publication No. CN114917067a, and the stent comprises an annular port, so that the stability of stent fixation is improved. However, the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy production has larger sensitivity to components and processing, so the control difficulty of smelting and processing is larger, the processing cost of the traditional process is high, and the production period is long. The patent application with publication number of CN112427654A discloses a nickel-bowl alloy bracket prepared based on a metal additive manufacturing technology and a preparation method thereof, which overcome the difficult problems that the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy prepared by the traditional technology is difficult to process and the phase transition temperature of the nickel-titanium alloy bracket prepared by the existing 3D printing technology is higher, and the phase transition temperature of the prepared nickel-bowl alloy bracket is similar to the temperature of a human body by adjusting the component proportion in the nickel-titanium alloy and the technological parameters of the metal additive manufacturing technology. However, nitinol stents have excellent corrosion resistance and still present a problem of life-long retention in the patient.
Shape memory alloys in addition to nickel titanium shape memory alloys, iron-based shape memory alloys and copper-based shape memory alloys are also contemplated. Iron-based alloys have poor shape memory effects, lower recoverable strains than conventional nickel-titanium shape memory alloys, and do not possess the same superelasticity as nickel-titanium shape memory alloys. The copper-based shape memory alloy has large maximum recoverable strain, lower cost, easier processing and wider phase transition temperature adjustable range than nickel-titanium-based shape memory alloy, and the prior work has less attention to biomedical application. Degradation product Cu of copper 2+ The antibacterial agent has a certain antibacterial effect and can prevent infection taking the instrument as a center; degradation product Cu of copper 2+ Can promote endotheliumSecretion of nitric oxide synthase to maintain vascular endothelial integrity and endothelial cell function; is beneficial to the secretion of the growth factors of the vascular endothelium and promotes the proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells, thereby promoting the rapid re-endothelialization of implantation sites, the recovery and maintenance of normal functions of the vascular endothelium and inducing angiogenesis. The phase transition temperature of the copper-based shape memory alloy prepared by the prior art is higher, and the self-expansion of the stent at body temperature cannot be realized. Patent application publication number US20050263222 discloses a method for reducing the phase transition temperature of a copper-zinc-aluminum shape memory alloy, but excessive aluminum exposure after long-term ingestion may have adverse effects on the nervous system, resulting in reduced cognitive function, hypomnesis, abnormal behavior, etc.
Thus, degradable metallic stents that can simultaneously avoid lifelong retention in the body, yet have superelastic and shape memory effects would be an important focus of research in the art for vascular stents.

The copper-based alloy implant materials of examples 1-9 were intended for the preparation of vascular stents, and were mechanical properties, A f And corrosion performance (SBF simulated body fluid, 37 ℃) are shown in Table 1. The mechanical properties, phase transition temperatures and corrosion properties of comparative examples 1 to 8 are also shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 mechanical Properties, phase transition temperatures and Corrosion Properties of examples 1-9 and comparative examples 1-8
For the material used for the vascular stent, the yield strength reaches more than 200Mpa, and the breaking elongation reaches 15% -18% so as to meet the requirement. Room temperature tensile Properties according to GB/T228.1-2021 section 1 of Metal Material tensile experiment: room temperature test method. The results in Table 1 show that the degradable zinc-based alloy implant material of the present invention satisfies the requirements of strength and plasticity as a support and workability in the implant body of a vascular stent.
For copper-zinc alloys, the mechanical properties of the materials of comparative examples 1 and 2 are low and the maximum superelastic strain is low, which cannot meet the requirements for support and workability, as compared with the copper-based alloy implant materials of examples 1 to 3 in the present invention.
For copper-zinc-silicon alloys, compared with the copper-base alloy implant materials of examples 4-9 of the present invention, the materials of comparative examples 3-8 either have too low mechanical strength to provide the desired supporting effect (as in comparative example 5), or have too low elongation to accommodate deformation during instrument processing and use (as in comparative examples 3-7), or A f The shape memory effect can not be realized at the temperature higher than the body temperature (such as comparative examples 3-6), or the degradation speed is too slow to meet the clinical requirements on the material degradation (such as comparative example 4, comparative example 5 and comparative example 8).
The corrosion rate of the material is suitable for being used as a degradable in-vivo implantation material, and meets the requirement of the degradation rate of the degradable vascular stent material (< 0.02 mm/y). The weight of a common standard type coronary stent made of copper as a matrix material is about 25mg. Although excessive Cu 2+ And Zn 2+ The composition has certain toxic and side effects on human bodies, but the release rate of the composition and the corrosion rate is smaller than that of an adult, namely, the copper daily average intake is 1.3 mg/d, the zinc daily average intake is 15 mg/d, and the influence on the human bodies can be ignored.
The mechanical properties of the copper-based shape memory alloy are also greatly affected by different heat treatment processes. The results in tables 2 and 3 show that the adoption of the cooling mode of the step quenching can improve the plasticity of the material, so that the copper-based alloy implant material has good cold workability.
TABLE 2 mechanical Properties of Cu-39Zn under different heat treatment Process in example 1 and comparative examples 9-14
As is clear from the comparison of the data of example 1 and comparative example 9 in Table 2, the cooling method was water quenching, and the cold workability was close to that of the sample obtained by the classification quenching, but the classification quenching could prevent the maraging stabilization and obtain the best shape memory property.
As is clear from the comparison of the data of example 1 and comparative example 10 in Table 2, the cooling system by air cooling deteriorates the cold workability of the samples.
From the comparison of the data of example 1 and comparative example 11 in Table 2, comparative example 12 shows that a shorter holding time or a lower heating temperature results in deterioration of cold workability of the material.
As is clear from the comparison of the data of example 1 and comparative example 13 in Table 2, the cold workability of the materials is also deteriorated due to an excessively long holding time or an excessively high heating temperature.
TABLE 3 mechanical Properties of Cu-28Zn-8Si under different heat treatment Processes in example 4 and comparative examples 15-20
As is clear from the comparison of the data of example 4 and comparative example 15 in Table 3, the cooling method was water quenching, and the cold workability was close to that of the sample obtained by the classification quenching, but the classification quenching could prevent the maraging stabilization and obtain the best shape memory property.
As is clear from the comparison of the data of example 4 and comparative example 16 in Table 3, the cooling system by air cooling deteriorates the cold workability of the samples.
From the comparison of the data of example 4 and comparative example 17 in Table 3, comparative example 18 shows that a shorter holding time or a lower heating temperature results in deterioration of cold workability of the material.
From the comparison of the data of example 4 and comparative example 19 in Table 3, comparative example 20 shows that too long a holding time or too high a heating temperature also results in deterioration of cold workability of the materials.
The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and it should be noted that modifications and adaptations to those skilled in the art may be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, which are intended to be comprehended within the scope of the present invention.
