The four valves act as one-way valves, allowing blood in the heart to flow in a predetermined direction but not in the opposite direction.
The aortic valve connects the left ventricle and the aorta, when the left ventricle expands, the aortic valve is in a closed state, when the left ventricle contracts, the aortic valve is in an open state, and the oxygenated blood in the left ventricle is pumped into the main artery by the contraction pump and is sent to all parts of the whole body through the aorta. Because the systolic pressure is larger when the heart contracts, the systolic pressure is generally 120mmHg, the position of an aortic valve is special even up to 150mmHg, the aortic valve is close to the mitral valve annulus, and for an aortic regurgitation patient, the fixation of the regurgitation valve is considered, and the normal operation of other valves is prevented from being influenced.
The traditional aortic valve replacement is a mode of establishing extracorporeal circulation at the thoracic median incision, the aorta and the right atrium cannula, but the traditional surgery has great damage to patients and long recovery period, and especially for elderly patients, the damage to the body caused by the traditional surgery is difficult to bear. Since the transcatheter operation has many advantages such as less trauma and quick recovery, more and more operations are performed by using the transcatheter operation, and the research of aortic valve replacement is gradually changed from the early surgical mode to the transcatheter aortic valve replacement mode.

However, the existing positioning piece of the reverse flow stent is opened by a certain angle by virtue of self elasticity, or the positioning piece is incompletely released, and the like, so that the problem that the positioning piece is difficult to insert into the sinus floor because the diameter of a circle where three positioning pieces are positioned is smaller than the diameter of an aortic valve ring in clinical application exists.

In addition, the known techniques typically associated with heart valve repair are not elaborated, but may be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art in view of the conventional manner in the art. Further advantages and effects of the present application will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the present disclosure, by describing the embodiments of the present application with specific examples.
Please refer to fig. 1-28. It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the drawings are shown only in connection with the present disclosure, and are therefore not intended to limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the claims, but are not to be limited to the specific details disclosed herein.
The regurgitation heart valve transporter of the present invention is mainly used in aortic valve regurgitation, so for convenience of understanding, the operation process will be briefly described taking application to aortic regurgitation as an example, specifically, referring to fig. 1 and 2a, the regurgitation heart valve is illustrated at the distal end of the heart valve transporter, and for simplicity and clarity of expressing the connection relationship between the valve and the transporter, the valve leaflets and the coating of the valve are omitted, and only the stent of the valve is shown. The regurgitant heart valve comprises a valve holder 10 and a positioning member 20 with a distal end in a free state and a proximal end fixed to the valve holder 10.
The retrograde heart valve transporter of the present invention is directed from the distal end to the proximal end, referring to fig. 1, and the components disposed outside the handle housing 40 in turn comprise: a distal release knob 600, a first sleeve 700, a proximal release knob 500, a connection knob 400, a valve advancement knob 300, a center adjustment knob 200, and a second sleeve 100. Functionally, the distal release knob 600 is used to control the movement of its corresponding connection structure within the handle housing 40 to release the distal end of the regurgitant heart valve and the proximal release knob 500 is used to control the movement of its corresponding connection structure within the handle housing 40 to release the proximal end of the regurgitant heart valve. The distal release knob 600 and the proximal release knob 500 are connected by a first sleeve 700. Valve advancement knob 300 is used to control the movement of its corresponding attachment structure within handle housing 40 to advance the valve. The central adjustment knob 200 is used to control its corresponding action of the connection structure within the handle housing 40 to adjust the regurgitant heart valve to the central axis of the aorta. The distal end of the second sleeve 100 is adapted to receive a spacer adjustment mechanism for adjusting the opening angle of the spacer 20 of the reverse flow stent. In addition, after the heart valve at its distal end is delivered into the aorta by the delivery device, the valve holder needs to be rotated to align the positioning member 20 axially with the sinus floor of the native aortic valve, and the operation of the rotating valve holder needs to be completed by rotating the structure connected with the valve holder, which includes the distal release knob 600 and the connecting structure in the corresponding handle housing 40, the proximal release knob 500 and the connecting structure in the corresponding handle housing 40, and the first sleeve 700 and the internal structure thereof.
As above, the handle 6 can be divided into a valve control part 611 and a valve release part 612 from the distal end to the proximal end, and the valve control part 611 and the valve release part 612 can be connected together by plugging or turning, or can be used for independently controlling the reflux heart valve to axially move or rotate by withdrawing the plugging or turning. Specifically, an interface connection portion 613 (the membrane pushing knob 300 and its connection structure) is further provided between the valve control portion 611 and the valve release portion 612, and the valve control portion 611 and the valve release portion 612 are moved toward or away from each other by the interface connection portion 613. In addition, the interfacing connection 613 may further include a connection knob 400 and a connection structure thereof, the rotational connection between the valve control portion 611 and the valve release portion 612 being controlled by the connection knob 400, and the approaching or separating of the valve control portion 611 and the valve release portion 612 from each other being achieved by the membrane pushing knob 300. In general, when the membrane pushing knob 300 is operated, the valve control portion 611 and the valve releasing portion 612 are locked by the connecting knob 400, so that the valve control portion 611 and the valve releasing portion 612 act synchronously to avoid relative rotation; the valve control portion 611 and the valve release portion 612 are relatively movable by controlling the connection knob 400, for example, rotation of the valve release portion 612 about the axial center axis of the carrier.
Functionally, the valve control portion 611 is used to control the opening angle of the positioner 20 (the control wire knob 60, the second sleeve 100 and their internal connection structures) and the centering of the valve (the center adjusting knob 200 and its internal connection structures). The valve release portion 612 primarily controls the position of the valve body (first sleeve 700 and its internal connections), as well as the distal release of the valve (distal release knob 600 and its internal connections) and the proximal release (proximal release knob 500 and its internal connections). The interface connection 613 controls the connection or relative movement of the valve control portion 611 and the valve release portion 612 (valve advancement knob 300, connection knob 400, and connection structure thereof).
Based on the brief functional description above, with continued reference to fig. 1, the workflow of the regurgitant heart valve transporter is further described: 1) Compression loading the regurgitant heart valve to the distal end of the delivery device and ballasting the valve with the corresponding components; 2) The left femoral artery conveys the reverse blood flow of the conveyor to the descending aorta and passes through the aortic arch and then enters the ascending aorta; 3) The rotary valve release portion 612 is controlled by the connecting knob 400, and the heart valve is driven to rotate by matching with external developing equipment so that the positioning piece 20 is aligned with the sinus bottom; 4) After entering the ascending aorta, the heart valve is adjusted to the central axis of the ascending aorta by adjusting the center adjusting knob 200, so that the centrality of the heart valve is ensured; (wherein step 3) and step 4) may be performed in an alternating sequence or alternatively; 5) The valve release part 612 is controlled to approach the valve control part 611, the valve pushing knob 300 is rotated to drive the valve release part 612 to be integrally conveyed in the body, at the moment, the positioning stay wire is locked, the valve moves towards the proximal end, the positioning piece 20 is naturally opened by a larger angle, the heart valve is conveyed to the sinus bottom of the aortic valve, the positioning stay wire 90 is loosened, and the positioning piece 20 is put down; meanwhile, according to the image data, the angle of the positioning piece 20 is adjusted at any time through the wire control knob 60, if the positioning piece 20 fails to enter the sinus, the positioning piece 20 can be adjusted again through the positioning stay wire 90, so that the free end of the positioning piece 20 is opened to be higher than the edge of the native valve leaflet, and the positioning piece 20 can capture the native valve leaflet again under the condition that the valve does not retreat; 6) Rotating the distal release knob 600 releases the distal heart valve; 7) Rotating the proximal release knob 500 releases the proximal end of the heart valve; 8) And exiting the conveyor. The invention correspondingly improves the steps, and the most important improvement point is that the opening angle of the positioning piece is controlled in the step 5) to finish the accurate and smooth sinus bottom entering. The technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
Example 1
Taking aortic valve regurgitation as an example, referring to fig. 1, the regurgitation heart valve transporter of this example includes a transporter handle 6 for transporting a regurgitation heart valve, a distal end of the transporter handle 6 is used for fixing the regurgitation heart valve, the regurgitation heart valve includes a plurality of positioning members 20, the transporter handle 6 includes a plurality of positioning member adjusting structures, and each positioning member adjusting structure is used for adjusting an opening angle of each positioning member 20. Because of the anatomy of the sinus floor of the aortic valve, the number of positioning elements of the regurgitant heart valve is generally three, and thus in the following examples, three positioning elements are taken as examples, and the number of positioning element adjustment structures is the same as the number of positioning elements 20. The purpose of each positioning member adjustment structure is to adjust the opening angle of each positioning member 20, respectively. When the positioning member 20 is faced with the problem that the angle of the self-expansion is insufficient, or the problem that the heart valve is still unable to smoothly enter the three sinus bottoms of the aortic valve after the positioning member 20 is expanded by continuously pushing the heart valve to the proximal end due to the fact that the self-expansion angle is not enough, or the problem that the position of the positioning wire 90 is controlled to be fixed, the heart valve is required to be retracted and readjusted, and the adjustment is difficult. Therefore, the positioning pieces 20 are respectively controlled through the positioning piece adjusting structures, so that the positioning pieces 20 can be independently adjusted in the body, the heart valve does not need to be readjusted after being retreated due to unreasonable release of the positioning pieces 20, and the positioning pieces 20 independently adjusted through the positioning piece adjusting structures can more accurately enter the sinus bottom of the aortic valve.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the delivery handle 6 includes a handle housing 40, a valve delivery tube assembly coupled to the handle housing 40, and a sheath tube assembly disposed within the handle housing 40, as shown in fig. 1, with a portion of the valve delivery tube assembly and the sheath tube assembly being located within the handle housing 40 and another portion exposed outside the handle housing 40 for intra-operative access.
Referring to fig. 4, 5 and 9, the outer sheath tube assembly includes an outer sheath tube 5 sleeved outside the valve delivery assembly, and the outer sheath tube 5 is provided with a plurality of positioning stay wire channels 501. Referring to fig. 1, the positioning member adjusting structure includes a plurality of positioning wires 90 and a wire control knob 60, wherein the wire control knob 60 is disposed on the handle housing 40. The regurgitant heart valve is fixed at the distal end of the valve delivery tube assembly, one side end of the positioning wire 90 is connected with the free end of the positioning member 20, and the other side end sequentially passes through the positioning wire channel 501 and the handle housing 40 and then is connected with the control wire knob 60. Specifically, the number of the control wire knobs 60 is three, and each control wire knob 60 controls a positioning wire 90 which is folded back and arranged in the positioning wire channel 501. Referring to fig. 2a and 9-11a, a wire hole is formed at the free end of the positioning member 20, and one end of the positioning wire 90 is connected to the wire control knob 60, and then sequentially passes through the positioning wire channel 501 and the wire hole, and then sequentially passes through the positioning wire channel 501 and the handle housing 40, and then is connected to the wire control knob 60. The positioning stay wire 90 arranged in the folded manner still penetrates out of the same positioning stay wire channel 501 after being folded, in this case, if the positioning stay wire 90 is a relatively thin common stay wire, the positioning stay wire 90 is easy to be mutually wound in the positioning stay wire channel 501, and is not easy to be drawn out, or the opening angle of the positioning piece 20 is not easy to be adjusted through the positioning stay wire 90. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 10, the sheath 5 is provided with a plurality of sets of positioning stay channels 501, the number of sets of positioning stay channels 501 is the same as that of the positioning member adjusting structures, each set of positioning stay channels 501 includes a stay wire removing channel and a stay wire returning channel, the positioning stay wire 90 includes a stay wire removing channel and a stay wire returning channel which are integrally connected and are respectively arranged on the stay wire removing channel and the stay wire returning channel, the connection part of the stay wire removing channel and the stay wire returning channel is connected with the positioning member 20, the free ends of the stay wire removing channel and the stay wire returning channel are connected with the wire control knob 60, that is, the number of the positioning stay wire channels 501 is twice that of the positioning member 20, that is, each positioning stay wire 90 is in a returning state and occupies two positioning stay wire channels 501. For another example, the positioning wire 90 is a wire that forms a closed loop, and after adjustment is completed, the wire is cut from the proximal end of the positioning wire 90 and withdrawn from the body.

In the assembled state, the control wire bolt 601 is in threaded connection with the control wire nut 604, the control wire gasket 602 is located in the stepped hole 606, and the pressing sleeve 607 abuts against the upper end of the control wire gasket 602. The extrusion force of the control wire washer 602 on the positioning pull wire 90 is adjusted by controlling the screwing distance between the control wire nut 604 and the control wire bolt 601.
Specifically, referring to fig. 14, 15 and 17, the control nut 604 has a double sleeve structure that is sleeved with each other, and includes a pressing sleeve 607 and a threaded sleeve 608. The control wire bolt 601 is of a hollow structure, and a stepped hole 606 is formed in the control wire bolt. More specifically, the control line bolt 601 sequentially includes a bolt portion, a stop ring 609 and an insertion portion from top to bottom, the control line nut 604 is further provided with a threaded sleeve 608, the bolt portion is screwed with the threaded sleeve 608, and the stop ring 609 is used as a screwing end point. That is, the outer periphery of the upper portion of the control wire bolt 601 is provided with an external thread, the threaded sleeve 608 is provided with an internal thread, the control wire bolt 601 and the threaded sleeve 608 are in threaded connection through the external thread and the internal thread, and when in connection, the pressing sleeve 607 presses the control wire gasket 602 towards the direction of the stepped hole 602, so that the control wire gasket 602 tightens the positioning stay wire 90 positioned therein, and the tightening force or the locking force of the control wire gasket 602 on the positioning stay wire 90 is controlled through the tightening degree of the internal thread and the external thread. The purpose of setting the stop ring 609 is to avoid excessive extrusion of the control wire gasket caused by the screw connection of the control wire bolt 601 and the threaded sleeve 608, even damage to the control wire knob 60, and the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 608 is provided with a limit groove, and the stop ring 609 can be abutted with the limit groove to limit the axial movement distance of the control wire bolt 601 and the threaded sleeve 608.
Regarding the preferred arrangement of the control line pad 602:
a1: the material of the control wire gasket 602 is an elastic material, and has deformation characteristics, so that the extrusion of the control wire gasket 602 to the positioning stay wire 90 can be realized by controlling the screwing distance between the control wire nut 604 and the control wire bolt 601.
A2: the control wire gasket 602 is in a hollow cylinder structure and comprises a middle ring and two end rings positioned on two sides of the middle ring, wherein the outer diameter of the middle ring is smaller than the outer diameters of the two end parts. I.e., when the control wire washer 602 is compressed, its middle ring is radially drawn toward its center to tighten the positioning wire 90 located therein.
In a preferred embodiment, referring to fig. 14, 15 and 16, the control wire knob 60 further includes a control wire sealing ring 603, where the control wire sealing ring 603 is located in the control wire gasket 602 and faces a side of the control wire nut 604, and the control wire sealing ring 603 is a hollow inverted boss structure, which serves to assist in fixing the pull wire and sealing. Specifically, the upper portion of the wire seal ring 603 is flush with the upper portion of the wire washer 602, and the lower portion of the wire washer 602 abuts against the stepped hole 606.

For another example, one end of the positioning wire 90 sequentially passes through the connection holes of the wire control knob 60 and the positioning member 20 from the outside of the conveyor, then turns back to the wire control knob 60 side and passes out from the through hole of the wire control knob 60, the redundant positioning wire is looped around the positioning wire fixing member 70, and the other end is connected with the wire control knob 60. The wire control knob 60 is used for adjusting the length of the positioning stay wire 90 and fixing the positioning stay wire 90, and the positioning stay wire fixing member 70 is used for further folding, adjusting the length of the positioning stay wire 90 and further fixing the redundant positioning stay wire 90 led out by the wire control knob 60. In this example, it is further preferable that the lower portion of the positioning wire fixing member 70 is a pin, an outer diameter of the pin is matched with an inner diameter of the through-hole of the wire control knob 60 and/or the wire outlet 605, and the pin of the positioning wire fixing member 70 is configured to be inserted into the wire control knob 60. If the wire control knob 60 cannot separately fix the positioning wire 90 due to too great a pulling force of the positioning member during the operation, the pin portion of the positioning wire fixing member 70 may be inserted into the wire control knob 60 to strengthen the fixation of the positioning wire 90.

In use, the inner tube 1 is fixedly connected with the first cylindrical fixing block 82, and the distal release knob 600 is rotated to drive the inner tube 1 to move axially and distally, so that the distal end of the inner tube 1 is separated from the proximal end of the heart valve to release the proximal end of the heart valve. A reinforcing tube (not shown) is arranged between the cylindrical fixing block 82 and the inner tube 1, and is fixedly connected with the inner tube 1 through the reinforcing tube, so that the inner tube 1 is prevented from being damaged when the cylindrical fixing block 82 and the inner tube 1 move.

The arrangement of the second cylindrical fixing block 92 can enable the second cylindrical fixing block 92 and the handle shell 40 to be mutually attached to increase the contact area between the second cylindrical fixing block and the handle shell 40, so that when the second cylindrical fixing block 92 moves axially along the handle shell 40, the second cylindrical fixing block moves more stably, the shaking condition can not occur, and the accuracy of valve control is improved. The design of the outer tube plugging section 91 can correspondingly prolong the contact area and the contact length of the outer tube connector 405 and the outer tube 3, improve the centrality of the outer tube 3, and reduce the risk that the valve cannot be released due to bending or even bending of the inner tube during the axial movement of the outer tube 31.
