Fig. 1C is a schematic structural diagram of the membrane 160 in the left atrial appendage occlusion device 100 provided in fig. 1A.
The first embodiment of the present application provides a left atrial appendage occlusion device 100, comprising a sealing portion 110 and an anchoring portion 130, wherein the sealing portion 110 is disposed on the proximal side of the anchoring portion 130.
The anchoring portion 130 is used for being combined with the tissue of the inner wall of the left atrial appendage and being fixed in the left atrial appendage, the anchoring portion 130 comprises an anchoring skeleton 140 and a membrane 160 covering the outer surface of the anchoring skeleton 140, the anchoring skeleton 140 comprises a distal end face 142 and a side wall 145, the side wall 145 is connected with the distal end face 142, the membrane 160 covers at least part of the side wall 145 and a peripheral edge 143 connected with the side wall 145 in the distal end face 142, and the membrane 160 is provided with an opening 161 at the distal side of the distal end face 142.

The membrane 160 covers the outer surface of the anchoring skeleton 140, that is, the membrane 160 is disposed at the periphery of the anchoring skeleton 140, and in the case that the left atrial appendage occlusion device 100 is implanted in a living body, the membrane 160 is blocked between the anchoring skeleton 140 and the tissue, so that the stimulation of the anchoring skeleton 140 to the tissue is reduced.
In the embodiment of the application, the membrane 160 on the outer side of the anchoring framework 140 is provided with the opening 161, the anchoring framework 140 surrounds to form an inner cavity, the outer side refers to the side of the anchoring framework 140 away from the inner cavity, the outer side (the side away from the inner cavity) of the membrane 160 is provided with the opening, which is favorable for reducing the volume of the membrane 160 arranged on the anchoring part 130 and the binding of the membrane 160 to the anchoring framework 140 when the anchoring part 130 rebounds, improving the rebound performance of the anchoring framework 140, reducing the sheath retraction force of the left atrial appendage occlusion device 100, facilitating the smooth sheath retraction of the anchoring part 130, and also favorable for the normal circulation of blood in the left atrial appendage and the left atrial appendage to reduce the resistance in the release process of the left atrial appendage occlusion device 100.

As shown in fig. 1A-1C, the membrane 160 is provided with an opening 161 distally of the distal end face 142. The volume of the membrane 160 arranged on the anchoring portion 130 is reduced, the membrane 160 is bound to the anchoring skeleton 140 when the anchoring portion 130 rebounds, the rebound performance of the anchoring skeleton 140 is improved, the sheath retraction force of the left atrial appendage occlusion device 100 is reduced, the anchoring portion 130 can smoothly retract the sheath, normal circulation of blood in the left atrial appendage and the left atrium is facilitated, and the resistance of the left atrial appendage occlusion device 100 in the release process is reduced.
The membrane 160 is provided with an opening 161 on the distal side of the distal end surface 142, and covers the portion (the peripheral edge 143) of the distal end surface 142 connected to the side wall 145 and at least a portion of the side wall 145, so that the area of the opening 161 is smaller, the edge of the opening 161 is convenient to fix, the membrane 160 is prevented from being damaged at the edge of the opening 161, the integrity of the membrane 160 is ensured, and thrombus is convenient to block.

The bottom 162 is disposed at the distal end of the membrane 160, and is a distal end surface of the membrane 160, and is used for covering the peripheral edge 143 connected to the sidewall 145 in the distal end surface 142. In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the bottom 162 is circular, and the inner periphery 163 of the bottom 162 encloses the opening 161. In the film body 160, the side portion 165 is used for forming a circumferential side wall of the film body 160, an outer periphery of the bottom portion 162 is connected with a distal edge of the side portion 165, an opening 161 is defined by an inner periphery 163 of the bottom portion 162, and the opening 161 is disposed corresponding to the second connecting member 104.
In the present embodiment, the number of the openings 161 is one, and the shapes of the openings 161 and the outer periphery of the bottom 162 are circular. In the modified embodiment, the number of the openings 161 is not limited, and the shapes of the openings 161 and the outer periphery of the bottom 162 may be any one of regular or irregular shapes such as a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, etc., and the shape of the openings 161 may be other shapes for the inner periphery 163 to be bonded to the side wall of the second connector 104.

Preferably, the bottom portion 162 has an inner diameter less than or equal to 1/2 the radial dimension of the side portion 165. The membrane 160 is flexible and covers the outside of the supporting frame 101, and the size of the membrane 160 is directly related to the size of the supporting frame 101 inside the membrane 160. The inner diameter of the bottom 162 and the radial dimensions of the side 165 are the corresponding dimensions that can be measured by the bottom 162 and the side 165 of the membrane 160 under the supporting action of the supporting frame 101 after the left atrial appendage occlusion device 100 is completely released in its natural state.

The inner diameter of the base 162 refers to the radial dimension of the inner periphery 163 of the base 162 that defines the opening 161.

Generally, the second connector 104 is positioned at the geometric center of the distal end face 142, and the opening 161 is positioned in correspondence to the second connector 104 so that the anchoring skeleton 140 can be uniformly stressed in the circumferential direction.
Preferably, the bottom 162 forms the opening 161 by a melting or cutting process. For example, before the film body 160 is fixed to the support frame 101, an opening 161 is formed in the bottom 162, preferably in the geometric center of the bottom 162 by high-temperature melting or cutting. In some embodiments, the opening 161 may also be formed after being fixed to the surface of the support frame 101.
In the present embodiment, the membrane 160 covers the proximal surface and the circumferential side wall of the seal skeleton 120, so that the left atrial appendage is choked in the proximal side of the left atrial appendage occlusion device 100. Preferably, the membrane 160 has an opening formed at the proximal end corresponding to the first connector 103, and the opening is equal to the radial dimension of the first connector 103, so that the delivery device can be detachably connected to the first connector 103, and the sealing performance of the proximal end surface of the membrane 160 can be ensured.

Referring to fig. 2A to 2C, fig. 2A is a schematic structural diagram of a left atrial appendage occlusion device 200 according to a second embodiment of the present application, fig. 2B is a schematic structural diagram of a supporting frame 201 in the left atrial appendage occlusion device 200 shown in fig. 2A, and fig. 2C is a schematic structural diagram of a membrane 260 in the left atrial appendage occlusion device 200 shown in fig. 2A.
The present embodiment provides a left atrial appendage occlusion device 200, where the left atrial appendage occlusion device 200 includes a sealing portion 210 and an anchoring portion 230 connected to each other, and a supporting frame 201 in the left atrial appendage occlusion device 200 includes a sealing frame 220 disposed on the sealing portion 210, and an anchoring frame 240 disposed on the anchoring portion 230. Please refer to the first embodiment for the similarity between the left atrial appendage occlusion device 200 and the left atrial appendage occlusion device 100, the differences between the left atrial appendage occlusion device 200 and the left atrial appendage occlusion device 100 are mainly described in the following.
In this embodiment, the left atrial appendage occlusion device 200 is provided with a membrane 260, the membrane 260 is coated on the surface of the anchoring skeleton 240, that is, the anchoring portion 230 includes the anchoring skeleton 240 and the membrane 260 covering the outer surface of the anchoring skeleton 240, the membrane 260 does not extend to the sealing portion 110, and the surface of the sealing skeleton 220 does not cover the membrane 260. In a modified embodiment, the membrane 260 may extend to the sealing portion 210, i.e., at least partially cover the surface of the sealing skeleton 220. In an alternative embodiment, at least one membrane may be disposed on the outer surface or in the inner cavity of the sealing portion 210 to achieve the effect of blocking flow.
As shown in fig. 2A to 2C, the opening 261 is preferably provided corresponding to the second connection member 204, that is, the second connection member 204 can be exposed on the surface of the anchor portion 230 through the opening 261. Generally, the second connecting member 204 is disposed in the geometric center of the distal end face 242, and the opening 261 is disposed corresponding to the second connecting member 204, so that the anchoring skeleton 240 is uniformly stressed in the circumferential direction, and the radial dimension of the second connecting member 204 after being radially compressed is reduced, thereby facilitating sheath retraction.
The membrane 260 provided on the surface of the anchor 230 serves to block thrombus from flowing out of the inside of the left atrial appendage, and accordingly, the opening 261 at the distal end of the membrane 260 is provided smaller with respect to the opening 161. Preferably, the opening 261 mates with the peripheral sidewall of the second connector 204. Preferably, the inner periphery 263 of the bottom 262 is abutted against the outer peripheral sidewall of the second connecting member 204, and the blood flow can pass through the gap between the inner periphery 263 and the outer peripheral sidewall of the second connecting member 204, and the gap is smaller, so that the thrombus is difficult to pass through, thereby ensuring the better flow blocking performance of the membrane 260.
In this embodiment, the supporting framework 201 is columnar, the proximal end and the distal end are both closed, the supporting framework 201 surrounds an inner cavity 202, the distal end of the supporting framework 201 forms a recess extending toward the proximal end of the supporting framework 201, and the recess structure is embodied at the distal end of the anchoring framework 240.
Specifically, the anchoring skeleton 240 includes a gathering section 241, the gathering section 241 extending in a funnel shape between the proximal and distal ends of the left atrial appendage occluder 200. The gathering section 241 is disposed radially inward of the sidewall 245, a proximal end of the gathering section 241 is connected to the second connector 204, and a distal end of the gathering section 241 is connected to the distal end face 242. The distal end of the gathering section 241 forms a larger opening than the proximal end of the gathering section 241, i.e., the gathering section 241 increases in radial dimension during the axial distal extension of the gathering section 241, with the flare formed by the gathering section 241 facing the distal side of the left atrial appendage occlusion device 200. The flared gathered section 241 forms the recess as seen proximally from the distal side of the left atrial appendage occlusion device 200.
The anchoring skeleton 240 is made by a braiding or cutting process, the plurality of support rods in the anchoring skeleton 240 may be a plurality of braided wires or a plurality of cutting rods in the anchoring skeleton 240, the support rods in the distal end face 242 are gathered in the gathering section 241, and the end parts of the support rods in the gathering section 241 are fixed to the second connecting piece 204. The second connecting member 204 may have a single-layered or multi-layered tubular structure, and the ends of the support rods in the gathering section 241 may be fixed between the multi-layered tubular structures of the second connecting member 204.
The supporting framework 201 surrounds the inner cavity 202, the sealing framework 220 surrounds the proximal periphery of the inner cavity 202, the anchoring framework 240 surrounds the distal periphery of the inner cavity 202, namely the gathering section 241, the distal end face 242 and the side wall 245 surround the inner cavity 202.
It should be noted that the above technical solution regarding the anchoring frame 201 and the technical solution of the second connecting member 204 may be applied to the first embodiment.
The bottom 262 covers at least a portion of the surface of the bunched segment 241 facing away from the lumen 202. The opening 261 formed by the bottom 262 has a smaller area, and the inner periphery 263 of the bottom 262 extends to the gathering section 241, which is beneficial to improving the flow blocking performance of the membrane 260.
Preferably, the inner periphery 263 of the bottom 262 abuts against the outer side surface of the bunching section 241 and extends in the proximal direction of the bunching section 241 such that a portion of the bottom 262 near its inner periphery abuts against a recessed surface formed by the bunching section 241, the bottom 262 correspondingly forming a recess extending in the proximal direction of the bunching section 241, i.e. the bottom 262 forming a recess extending in the proximal direction of the bunching section 241.
The inner periphery 263 of the bottom 262 is abutted against the outer side surface of the gathering section 241 and extends towards the proximal direction of the gathering section 241, and is concave in shape according to the gathering section 241, and does not cover the space pointed by the opening formed at the distal end of the gathering section 241, so that the gap between the bottom 262 and the anchoring skeleton is reduced or eliminated, and the membrane 260 has stronger deformation capability according to the gathering section 241. In particular, during sheath retraction and release of the bunching section 241, the inner periphery 263 of the bottom 262 is capable of uniformly radially compressing and expanding with the bunching section 241. After radial compression, the inner periphery 263 of the bottom 262 and the portion adjacent to the inner periphery 263 are less likely to be stacked together, and the radial dimension of the anchoring portion 230 varies less axially around, so that the radial dimension of the anchoring portion 230 after radial compression is controlled, and the sheath size in the delivery device is reduced.
The membrane 260 may be fixed to the surface of the support frame 201 by bonding, sewing, hot pressing, dipping, spraying, or the like. In the present embodiment, the membrane 260 is fixed by stitching, and the membrane 260 is stitched to the anchor skeleton 240 at the fixing point 272.
Both the bottom 262 and the side 265 of the membrane 260 may be connected to the anchoring skeleton 240. In this embodiment, as shown, the membrane 260 is provided with fastening points 272 at both the bottom 262 and the side 265.

The fixation points 272 located at the same axial position on the membrane body 260 are a set of fixation points 272, with at least two sets of fixation points 272 located at different axial positions of the membrane body 260. The number of fixing points 272 in each set of fixing points 272 may be set as required, and in this embodiment, the number of fixing points 272 in each set of fixing points 272 is plural, and the plurality of fixing points 272 in each set of fixing points 272 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction.
Preferably, the side 265 is provided with at least one set of fixation points 272. In this embodiment, the fixation point 272 on the side 265 is provided at the proximal edge of the side 265 to avoid the proximal edge of the side 265 from rolling distally of the left atrial appendage occlusion device 200.
Preferably, the bottom 262 is provided with at least one set of fixation points 272. In this embodiment, the fixed point 272 on the bottom 262 is disposed in the outer race region 260w.
The radius of the side portion 265 is R, the bottom portion 262 includes an inner ring region 260n and an outer ring region 260w, the inner ring region 260n is a circumferential range of the bottom portion 262 having a radius less than R/3, the outer ring region 260w is a circumferential range of the bottom portion 262 having a radius greater than or equal to R/3, and the bottom portion 262 is fixedly connected to the anchoring skeleton 240 within the outer ring region 260 w. The dashed line in fig. 2C schematically indicates the boundary position between the inner ring region 260n and the outer ring region 260 w.
The bottom 262 is provided with a fastening point 272 to facilitate fastening of the membrane 260 at the distal surface 242. The fixing points 272 in the bottom 262 are not arranged in the inner ring area 260n, so that the binding effect of the inner ring area 260n in the membrane 260 on the anchoring skeleton 240 is reduced, the deformation flexibility of the supporting rods in the anchoring skeleton 240 corresponding to the inner ring area 260n is improved, the anchoring skeleton 240 corresponding to the inner ring area 260n can be contracted to a smaller radial size in the radial compression process, and sheath retraction is facilitated.
It is understood that the membrane 260 may be secured in at least one of the gathering section 241, the distal surface 242, and the sidewall 245.
Referring to fig. 2D in conjunction with fig. 2C, fig. 2D is an enlarged schematic view of a region of fig. 2C in which an opening 261 is formed in a bottom 262.
Since the inner periphery 263 is formed by a process such as melting or cutting, in order to avoid the damage of the inner periphery 263 and affect the integrity of the membrane 260, and further affect the flow blocking performance of the membrane 260 and other related effects, preferably, the membrane 260 is provided with a reinforcement 280 on the inner periphery 263 of the bottom 262, the reinforcement 280 covers at least part of the inner periphery 263 to improve the mechanical strength of the inner periphery 263, and the mechanical strength of the inner periphery 263 covered by the reinforcement 280 is higher and is not easy to damage compared with the inner periphery 263 not covered by the reinforcement 280.
The inner periphery 263 in the embodiment of the present application includes an edge where the bottom 262 forms the opening 261, and a portion adjacent to the edge and extending along the edge in a radial direction in a direction away from the opening 261, and the inner periphery 263 covers a section in a radial and/or axial direction. In some embodiments, the edges of the inner periphery 263 are rounded.
The reinforcement 280 may cover the inner periphery 263 in at least one direction of the inner side and/or the outer side of the inner periphery 263. The inner side of the inner periphery 263 is the inner side of the bottom 262, which means that the inner periphery 263 and the bottom 262 face to one side of the anchoring frame 240; the outer side of the inner periphery 263, i.e., the outer side of the bottom 262, means the inner periphery 263 and the side of the bottom 262 facing away from the anchoring frame 240.
In some embodiments, the reinforcement 280 may be wrapped around the end face of the inner periphery 263 facing the opening 261, i.e., the end face of the inner periphery 263 in the thickness direction.
In this embodiment, at least a portion of the reinforcement 280 is sewn around the inner periphery 263 using a suture. In alternative embodiments, at least a portion of the reinforcement 280 may be formed of an organic material applied to the inner periphery 263, or the reinforcement 280 may include additional components attached to the inner periphery 263.

The spacer 282 may be disposed inboard and/or outboard of the inner periphery 263.
Preferably, the spacer 282 is disposed along the inner periphery 263, shaped to fit the inner periphery 263. In the present embodiment, the spacer 282 is provided on the inner periphery 263 for one revolution. In some embodiments, the spacer 282 may be provided in a partial arc shape.
The spacer 282 is formed in the region of the base 262 adjacent the edge of its inner periphery 263 to ensure that both the inner periphery and the outer periphery of the spacer 282 are radially offset from the inner periphery 263 of the base 262. In the present embodiment, the outer periphery of the spacer 282 is disposed outside the inner periphery 263 of the bottom 262 in the radial direction of the bottom 262, and the radial dimension of the inner periphery of the spacer 282 is larger than the radial dimension of the inner periphery 263 of the bottom 262 at the same circumferential position, and the spacer 282 is disposed on the radial periphery of the inner periphery 263.
The spacer 282 may be formed of a biocompatible, resilient polymeric wire or sheet material so as to be deformable with the membrane 260.
In this embodiment, the spacer 282 is a length of suture sewn to the inner periphery 263 of the bottom 262. The stitching lines forming the spacers 282 are stitched starting from a position near the edge of the inner periphery 263, and are threaded back and forth between the inside and outside of the bottom 262 during stitching along the inner periphery 263, with a portion of the stitching lines being located on the outside surface of the bottom 262 (the side facing away from the lumen, shown in bold lines) and a portion of the stitching lines being located on the inside surface of the bottom 262 (the side facing toward the lumen, shown in bold lines). The suture forming the spacer 282 may be stitched one revolution, more than one revolution, or less than one revolution along the inner periphery 263.

The edge-sealing line 284 may cover at least a part of the inner periphery 263, in this embodiment, the edge-sealing line 284 is formed by winding a suture between the radially outer side of the outer periphery of the spacer 282 and the opening 261.
The bead 284 is threaded back and forth inside and outside the inner periphery 263 during the formation process, specifically, the bead 284 is threaded through the bottom 262 from one side of the inner periphery 263 to the other side, and the position of the threaded bottom 262 is located radially outside the outer periphery of the spacer 282.
In the present embodiment, the edge seal 284 is sewn starting from a position radially outward of the outer periphery of the spacer 282, and a knot 285 is formed, the knot 285 being used to be fixed to the inner periphery 263. The seal line 284 penetrates the bottom 262 from the radially outer side thereof to the radially inner side thereof, the position of the penetration bottom 262 being located radially outer of the outer periphery of the spacer 282, and then penetrates out to the outer side of the inner periphery 263 from the radially inner side of the inner periphery 263 through the opening 261 to the radially outer side of the inner periphery 263; the bottom 262 is inserted from the radially outer side of the inner periphery 263 to the radially inner side, the position of the inserted bottom 262 is located at the radially outer side of the outer periphery of the spacer 282, and then the bottom is inserted from the radially inner side of the inner periphery 263 to the radially outer side of the inner periphery 263 through the opening 261. The method is repeated to form a bead line 284 circumferentially around the inner periphery 263 that covers at least a portion of the surface of the inner periphery 263.
The edge sealing line 284 is used to cover the inner periphery 263, so as to improve the structural strength of the inner periphery 263. The edge sealing line 284 is penetrated back and forth in the thickness direction of the bottom 262, one end of the edge sealing line 284 is positioned in the opening 261 in the radial direction of the bottom 262, the other end of the edge sealing line 284 is positioned at the radial outer side of the outer periphery of the spacer 282, the outer periphery of the spacer 282 is used for fixing the radial end position of the edge sealing line 284, the structural reliability of the edge sealing line 284 is improved, serious deformation of fibers in the material of the film body 260 under the traction action of the edge sealing line 284 is avoided, and the damage of the inner periphery 263 caused by the sewing of the edge sealing line 284 is avoided.

Specifically, the securing member 305 is connected between the distal portion of the sealing skeleton 320 and the proximal end of the gathering section 341.
The fixing member 305 may be a single-layer or multi-layer tubular structure, the proximal end of the gathering section 341 of the anchoring skeleton 340 is connected to the fixing member 305, the supporting rod in the anchoring skeleton 340 may be a braided wire or a cutting rod, and the end of the supporting rod is combined and fixed to the fixing member 305, for example, may be sandwiched between the multi-layer tubular structures in the fixing member 305.

The converging section 341, distal face 342, and sidewall 345 define a lumen that opens toward the proximal end of the left atrial appendage occlusion device 300.
The distal portion of the seal skeleton 320 is gathered to the fixing member 305, and the distal end of the seal skeleton 320 passes through the fixing member 305, passes through the radially inner side of the gathering section 341, i.e., passes through the flare formed by the radially inner side of the gathering section 341, and extends from the distal direction of the flare formed by the gathering section 341. The fixing member 305 is disposed radially outward of the proximal end of the gathering section 341, that is, the fixing member 305 is sleeved radially outward of the proximal end of the gathering section 341 and radially outward of the distal portion of the seal skeleton 320.
As shown in fig. 3C, in the present embodiment, the second connecting member 304 is sleeved on the outer side of the distal end of the seal frame 320, and the end portion of the support rod at the distal end of the seal frame 320 is combined with one portion and fixed to the second connecting member 304. The second connector 304 may be a single-layer or multi-layer tubular structure, and optionally, the ends of the support rods in the seal housing 320 are welded to the distal ends of the second connector 304.

That is, the distal end of the second connector 304 extends [0,2] mm beyond the distal end of the base 362 in the proximal-to-distal direction, i.e., the distal end of the second connector 304 protrudes [0,2] mm distally relative to the distal end of the base 362; or the distal end of the second connector 304 exceeds the distal end of the base 362 by 0,2 mm in a distal-to-proximal direction, i.e., the distal end of the second connector 304 is recessed proximally by 0,2 mm relative to the distal end of the base 362.

The axial distance between the proximal end of the fixing element 305 and the distal end of the anchoring portion 330 is a, the axial distance between the proximal end of the peripheral surface of the anchoring portion 330 and the distal end of the anchoring portion is b, alternatively, a is less than or equal to 0.8b, the fixing element 305 is accommodated in the inner cavity surrounded by the anchoring portion 330, which is beneficial to reducing the axial length of the anchoring portion 330, the distal portion of the sealing portion 310 can be accommodated in the space surrounded by the anchoring portion 330, the fixing element 305 is accommodated in the inner cavity surrounded by the anchoring portion 330, and the fixing element 305 is arranged at the proximal end of the anchoring portion 330 relative to the fixing element 305, and is closer to the distal end surface 342, which can improve the radial supporting force of the distal end surface 342 of the anchoring skeleton 340, and can also accommodate at least part of the sealing portion 310 in the inner cavity, which reduces the axial dimension of the left atrial appendage occluder 300 after the sealing portion 310 and the anchoring portion 330 are assembled, thereby avoiding the situation that the peripheral edge of the sealing portion 310 cannot be sealed at the left atrial appendage portion due to the axial length of the left atrial appendage occluder 300 being too long.
Preferably, a is less than or equal to 0.3b and less than or equal to 0.7b, so that the distal end face 342 can obtain proper radial supporting force, the gathering section 341 does not generate particularly obvious stress concentration phenomenon in the process of mutually switching the left atrial appendage occlusion device 300 between the natural state and the delivery state, and meanwhile, the length of the left atrial appendage occlusion device 300 is ensured to be shorter, so that the left atrial appendage occlusion device can be suitable for patients with shorter left atrial appendage inner cavities.
In this embodiment, the anchoring portion 330 has an opening formed at a proximal end thereof in a proximal direction, and in some embodiments, the anchoring portion 330 may be in a form that is closed at both a proximal end and a distal end, for example, the fixing member 305 is used to connect to the proximal end of the anchoring portion 330, the second connecting member 304 is connected to the distal end of the anchoring portion 330, and the second connecting member 304 may be disposed at the distal end of the anchoring portion 330 or disposed in a cavity enclosed by the anchoring portion 330.

The present embodiment provides a left atrial appendage occlusion device 400, where the left atrial appendage occlusion device 400 includes a sealing portion 410 and an anchoring portion 430 connected to each other, and a support frame 401 in the left atrial appendage occlusion device 400 includes a sealing frame 420 disposed on the sealing portion 410, and an anchoring frame 440 disposed on the anchoring portion 430. Please refer to the third embodiment for the similarity between the left atrial appendage occlusion device 400 and the left atrial appendage occlusion device 300, the differences between the left atrial appendage occlusion device 400 and the left atrial appendage occlusion device 300 are mainly described in the following.
As shown in fig. 4C, the left atrial appendage occlusion device 400 includes a pull wire 490 connected to the inner periphery 463 of the base 462 and the sealing portion 410. The pulling wire 490 is used for fixing the inner periphery 463 of the bottom 462, the pulling wire 490 is connected to the sealing portion 410, which is favorable for pulling and fixing the inner periphery 463 from the proximal side of the inner periphery 463, so that the inner periphery 463 can correspondingly cover and attach to the outer side surface (the surface deviating from the inner cavity) of the anchoring framework 440, in this embodiment, the periphery 463 can correspondingly cover and attach to the outer side surface of the gathering section 441, and forms a recess extending towards the direction of the sealing portion 410, so that the membrane 460 has stronger capability of conforming to the deformation of the gathering section 441, the inner periphery 463 of the bottom 462 can be uniformly compressed and expanded radially along with the gathering section 441 in the process of gathering and releasing the gathering section 441, after the inner periphery 463 of the bottom 462 is compressed radially, the inner periphery 463 of the bottom 462 cannot be stacked at one place, the radial dimensional change of the axial position of the anchoring section 430 is relatively small, and the radial dimensional change of the anchoring section 430 after radial compression is convenient to control is reduced, and the sheath size in the conveying device is reduced.
Adjacent support rods in the sealing skeleton 320 are connected to each other and form mesh openings, and the sealing skeleton 320 may be made by weaving and/or cutting processes, and the mesh openings may be mesh openings formed between woven wires in the sealing skeleton 320 or mesh openings surrounded between the cutting rods.
The number of the pulling wires 490 in the left atrial appendage occlusion device 400 may be one or more, and in this embodiment, the number of the pulling wires 490 is one.
The pull wire 490 includes a pull segment 491 and a securing segment 493 connected to each other, the securing segment 493 being adapted to be sewn to the inner periphery 463 of the base 462, at least one end of the pull segment 491 being connected to the securing segment 493, the pull segment 491 extending proximally of the securing segment 493, a portion of the pull segment 491 being connected to the mesh of the sealing skeleton 420.
In this embodiment, the pull wire 490 is a suture and includes two fixed segments 493 and one pull segment 491. Two ends of the pulling section 491 are respectively connected with a fixing section 493. While the fixing segment 493 is used to stitch the inner periphery 463 of the bottom 462, in this embodiment, the fixing segment 493 is stitched to the inner periphery 463 by knotting, it is to be understood that the fixing segment 493 is not limited to stitching to the inner periphery 463 by knotting, and the fixing segment 493 may be connected to the inner periphery 463 by stitching such as inserting stitching between the inner side (side facing the inner cavity) and the outer side (side facing the inner cavity) of the inner periphery.
At least one end of the pulling segment 491 is connected to the fixed segment 493, and the pulling segment 491 extends proximally of the fixed segment 493. In the present embodiment, both ends of the pulling segment 491 are connected to the fixed segment 493, the pulling segment 491 forms a wire loop and extends proximally of the fixed segment 493, and the pulling segment 491 extends proximally of the fixed segment 493 from the fixed segment 493.
A portion of the pulling segment 491 is connected to the mesh of the sealing skeleton 420, which may be specifically shown in fig. 4C, and a portion between both ends of the pulling segment 491 passes through the mesh formed by the support rods in the sealing skeleton 420.
If the mesh of the sealing skeleton 420 through which the pulling segment 491 passes is made by a cutting process, the support rods forming the mesh do not slide relatively, the size and position of the mesh are relatively fixed, and the pulling segment 491 can better realize the function of fixing the inner periphery 463 through the mesh.
In this embodiment, the sealing skeleton 420 is made by a braiding process, that is, the mesh of the sealing skeleton 420 through which the pulling segment 491 passes is made by a braiding process, the pulling segment 491 is easy to slide relatively between the support rods of the mesh, and the size and position of the mesh hole are not fixed.
The radially outer side of the distal portion of the seal case 420 is provided with a fixing member 405, further the distal portion of the seal case 420 is narrowed radially inwardly of the fixing member 405, a pulling segment 491 is passed through a mesh of the seal case 420 located proximally of the fixing member 405 and near the proximal end of the fixing member 405, the proximal end of the fixing member 405 is used to stop the portion of the pulling segment 491 passing through the meshes of the two seal cases 420 distally, i.e. the proximal end of the fixing member 305 is used to stop the distal end of the pulling segment 491 distally. The distal end of the pulling segment 491 herein refers to a portion of the pulling segment 491 connected (in this embodiment, specifically penetrated) to the mesh of the sealing portion 420 as in fig. 4C, and is located at the most distal end of the pulling segment 491, and is not limited to one of the two ends of the suture forming the pulling segment 491.
It should be noted that, the mesh of the sealing skeleton 420 through which the pulling wire 490 passes is located at the proximal side of the fixing member 405, the fixing member 405 is used for converging the end of the anchoring skeleton 440, the radial dimension thereof is smaller, the distal portion of the sealing skeleton 420 is threaded through and converged at the radial inner side of the fixing member 405, and the radial inner side of the converging section 441 in the anchoring skeleton 440, and the distal end of the sealing skeleton 420 is converged and fixed to the second connecting member 404. After the instrument is released, even if the support rod of the sealing skeleton 420 at the fixing member 405 and its distal portion is formed with a mesh, the mesh cannot be unfolded, and the difficulty of pulling the segment 491 through the mesh at this position is great.
The distal end of the pulling segment 491 does not slide far away from the proximal end of the fixing member 405 even if it slides to the anchor 430 side along the support rod in the sealing skeleton 420 or slides to the anchor 430 side along with the deformation of the mesh in the mesh of the sealing skeleton 420, and a part of the pulling segment 491 is connected to the mesh of the sealing skeleton 420, so that the fixing member 405 can play a role of limiting the end of the pulling segment 491, that is, the distal end position of the pulling segment 491 is fixed, thereby playing a role of preferably fixing the inner periphery 463 of the bottom 462, without limiting the manufacturing process of the sealing skeleton 420.
As shown in fig. 4C, the pulling segment 491 passes through two meshes in the sealing skeleton 420, and the pulling segment 491 located between the two meshes spans the fixing member 405.
Referring to fig. 4D and 4E in conjunction with fig. 4C, at least a portion of the supporting frame and at least a portion of the connecting members are omitted from fig. 4C, 4D and 4E for clarity. Both fig. 4D and 4E do not show the attachment points 472, it being understood that at least a portion of the attachment points 472 may be attached prior to forming the pull wire 490 or, as shown in fig. 4E, the surface of the film body 460 may not be formed with any attachment points 472 prior to stitching to form the pull wire 490.
Specifically, during the suturing process, as shown in fig. 4C, 4D and 4E, a fixing section 493 is formed by suturing the inner periphery 463, then the suture is pulled proximally to form a pulling section 491, the suture is led to extend to the proximal end of the auricle occluder 400 after passing through the mesh formed by the anchoring frame 440, the suture line forming the pulling section 491 passes through the two meshes of the sealing frame 420 near the fixing member 405, the portion between the two meshes of the sealing frame 420 passing through the suture line forming the pulling section 491 is located near the fixing member 405, the suture line forming the pulling section 491 passes through the fixing member 405 distally, the suture line forming the pulling section 491 passes through the two meshes of the sealing frame 420 and then extends to the distal end direction of the auricle occluder 400, then, as shown in fig. 4E, the pulling wire 490 is pulled tightly and the inner periphery 463 is sutured to form another fixing section 493, and the inner periphery 463 forms a recess extending to the proximal end of the membrane 460.
The pull wire 490 is sutured in a fully expanded state (natural state) of the support frame, after the two securing segments 493 are formed, the two proximal ends (securing segments 493) of the pull wire 490 are secured to the inner peripheral edge 463, the distal end of the pull wire 490 spans the proximal side of the securing member 405, is distally restrained by the securing member 405, and the pull wire 490 is tensioned. Under the pulling action of the pulling wire 490, the bottom 462 is flatly attached to the distal end surface and the surface of the gathering section, extends toward the proximal side of the gathering section 441, and forms a recess corresponding to the gathering section 441.
In this embodiment, the portion of the pulling segment 491 that connects to the securing segment 493 extends from the side of the base 462 facing away from the anchoring backbone 440 toward the proximal end of the left atrial appendage occlusion device 400 and through the opening 461. The inner peripheral edge 463 is sandwiched between the pulling segment 491 and the gathering segment 441, the pulling segment 491 extends proximally from the inner peripheral edge 463 surface and pulls the inner peripheral edge 463 so that the inner peripheral edge 463 can be flatly attached to the outer side surface of the gathering segment 441, avoiding the inner peripheral edge 463 from tilting.
In an alternative embodiment, the pulling wire 490 may include a fixing segment 493 and a pulling segment 491 that are connected to each other, wherein the fixing of the fixing segment 493 is stitched to the inner peripheral edge 463, and one end of the pulling segment 491 may be connected to an intersection point formed between support rods in the sealing skeleton 420 by winding and knotting, etc., so as to pull the inner peripheral edge 463 in the proximal direction.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 4A, the surface of the membrane body 460 is provided with a plurality of fixing points 472 as provided in the second embodiment. Preferably, the fixing point 472 is disposed in the outer ring area of the membrane 460 and is matched with the pulling wire 490, so that the bottom 462 can be fixed at the inner periphery 463 of the bottom 462 and the area of the bottom 462 away from the inner periphery 463, thereby improving the structural stability of the membrane 460 and ensuring the flexibility of the sheath retraction of the anchoring portion 430.
It should be noted that, in some embodiments, it is preferable that the film body 260 in the present embodiment may be provided with the reinforcement member in the second embodiment, and the pulling wire 490 may be fixed on the surface of the reinforcement member or disposed radially outside the reinforcement member, so as to improve the structural stability of the inner peripheral edge 463, and avoid the damage of the inner peripheral edge 463 during the sewing process of the pulling wire 490 or under the pulling action of the pulling wire 490, which affects the integrity and the safety and reliability of the film body 460.
