Obviously, in other embodiments, the connecting end 211 of the proximal clip 21 can be directly fixed at the connection position of the first fastening structure 41 and the second fastening structure 42.
Wherein the proximal jaw 21 is at least partially made of an elastic material having a shape memory function. After heat setting, the proximal clip 21 is in a U-shape in a natural state, i.e. the proximal clip 21 is disposed at an angle to the push rod 10 so as to cooperate with the distal clip 23 to clamp the valve tissue. The angle between the extending directions of the two sides of the proximal clip 21 ranges from 0 to 200 degrees.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the proximal clip 21 is made of nitinol, so as to provide the proximal clip 21 with elastic force to drive the proximal clip 21 toward the distal clip 23 for clipping the valve tissue. In other embodiments, the connecting ends 211 of the proximal jaws 21 are made of an elastic material, and the free ends 212 of the proximal jaws 21 are made of an inelastic material such as aluminum alloy, and the elastic force of the connecting ends 211 drives the proximal jaws 21 toward the distal jaws 23.

Preferably, the included angle between the extending directions of the two sides of the proximal clip 21 in the natural unfolding state should be slightly larger than the included angle between the two distal clip pieces 23, so as to provide a more stable clamping force, that is, the included angle between the extending direction of each side of the proximal clip piece 21 and the push rod 10 is larger than or equal to the included angle between the distal clip piece 23 and the push rod 10 when the distal clip piece 23 corresponding to the side is unfolded to the maximum state, so as to ensure that a certain clamping force exists between the distal clip piece 23 and the proximal clip piece 21, so as to clamp the valve tissue between the distal clip piece 23 and the proximal clip piece 21.
Further, the proximal clip 21 further includes a first surface 214 facing the distal clip 23 and the valve accommodating space 25 and a second surface 215 facing away from the first surface 214, and the first surface 214 is provided with a clamping enhancing member 216 to increase the friction force between the proximal clip 21 and the valve tissue clamped in the valve accommodating space 25, thereby improving the clamping force of the valve clamp 100 on the valve tissue.

The root of the barb is connected to the proximal clip 21, the end of the barb opposite to the root is a free end, which faces the distal clip 23 in a naturally expanded state. The included angle between the extending direction of the barbs and the first surface 214 is less than or equal to 90 degrees to enhance the gripping force of the valve binder 100 on valve tissue. Furthermore, the hanging end of each barb is a smooth arc-shaped surface, so that valve tissues are prevented from being damaged.
In other embodiments, the number of barbs may be 1, 2, or other reasonable number.
In other embodiments, the clamping enhancement 216 can be protrusions, bumps, or other irregularly distributed protrusions protruding from the first surface 214, or can be a rough surface at least partially covering the first surface 214 to enhance the clamping force on the valve tissue.
The proximal clamping piece 21 is provided with a plurality of openings to reduce the weight of the proximal clamping piece 21, prevent the overweight clamp 10 from slipping or damaging the valve leaflets caused by falling below the valve leaflets for a long time, and simultaneously facilitate the climbing and growth of endothelial cells.

In this embodiment, the connecting section 231 of each distal clip 23 includes two connecting pieces opposite to each other at an interval, a connecting hole is formed at a proximal end of each connecting piece, a sliding slot is formed at a distal end of each connecting piece, and the sliding slot extends from the distal end of each connecting piece to the proximal end. Obviously, in other embodiments, the connection segment 231 may include only one connection piece.
Specifically, one end of the first pin 51 passes through the connecting hole on the connecting piece on one side of the distal clip 23, then passes through the corresponding fixing hole 427 of the second seat 42, and finally is inserted into the connecting hole on the connecting piece on the other side opposite to the distal clip 23, and a first blocking piece is welded at the end of the first pin 51 to prevent the first pin 51 from slipping off, so as to rotatably connect the proximal end of the connecting section 231 of the distal clip 23 to the second seat 42 of the fixing base 40. The connecting sections 231 of the two distal end clips 23 located on the same side of the second seat 42 are stacked one another, the sliding grooves of the two connecting sections 231 are communicated, one end of the second pin 52 sequentially penetrates through the sliding grooves of the two connecting pieces of the two distal end clips 23 located on the same side of the connecting seat 15, and then penetrates through the pin hole of the connecting seat 15, and finally is inserted into the sliding grooves of the two connecting pieces of the two distal end clips 23 located on the opposite side of the connecting seat 15, and a second stopper is welded at the end of the second pin 52 to prevent the second pin 52 from slipping, so that the distal ends of the connecting sections 231 of the two distal end clips 23 are movably connected to the connecting seat 15 of the push rod 10 through the same second pin 52.
When the push rod 10 axially moves in the lumen of the through channel 425 and the first seat 41, the second pin 52 inserted in the pin hole of the connecting seat 15 can slide in the sliding slot on the connecting piece of the distal clip 23, and further drives the distal clip 23 to rotate around the first pin 51 with the connecting position where the proximal end of the connecting section 231 is connected to the second seat 42 as the rotation center, and the clamping section 232 of the distal clip 23 opens and closes relative to the fixed base 40 and the push rod 10, and when the proximal clip 21 is released and freely expands due to its own elastic memory function, it can approach the distal clip 23 to clamp the valve tissue.
Further, the distal clamping piece 23 further comprises a third surface 233 facing the proximal clamping piece 21 and the valve receiving space 25 and a fourth surface 234 facing away from the third surface 233, the third surface 233 being opposite to the first surface 214 of the proximal clamping piece 21.
The third surface 233 may be a plane or a curved surface. In this embodiment, the third surface 233 is a curved surface, and the curvature direction of the curved surface faces the proximal clip piece 21. By providing the third surface 233 with a curved surface, the contact area and the clamping area of the distal clamping piece 23 with the valve tissue can be increased, thereby providing a stable clamping force. Moreover, the curved third surface 233 forms a receiving slot, and when the proximal clip piece 21 is closed towards the distal clip piece 23, the barb on the first surface 214 of the proximal clip piece 21 can be received in the receiving slot to press the valve leaflet located in the leaflet receiving space 25, or to reduce the volume of the valve binder 100 when it is closed, so that the valve binder 100 can be more easily transported in vivo.
The third surface 233 may be provided with a clamping enhancement structure, which may be a protrusion, a groove, or a pad made of a biocompatible material with a high friction coefficient and attached to the third surface 233. By providing protrusions, grooves or pads on the third surface 233, the friction between the distal clip 23 and the valve tissue can be enhanced, thereby providing a stable clamping force.
Referring to fig. 3 and 6, in order to prevent the metal surface and/or sharp edge of the valve clamping device 100 from damaging the clamped valve tissue, the valve clamping device 100 is covered with a covering film 30. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the covering membrane 30 includes a first covering membrane 31 covering the proximal jaw 21 and a second covering membrane 32 covering the distal jaw 23.
Wherein the first coating 31 completely covers at least the first surface 214 of the proximal clip 21 and the second coating 32 completely covers at least the third surface 233 of the distal clip 23.

Further, the materials of the first and second cover films 31 and 32 may be the same or different. In the present embodiment, the first coating film 31 and the second coating film 32 are each preferably a single-layer PET coating film.
The first coating 31 and the second coating 32 are fixed by any means such as sewing, dip coating, bonding, fusing, or binding. In this embodiment, the first film 31 is adhesively secured to the proximal clip 21 and the second film 32 is stitched to the distal clip 23.
In this embodiment, both sides of the valve clamping device 100 facing the valve accommodating space 25 and the edges thereof are completely covered by the covering film 30, and the valve tissue clamped in the valve accommodating space 25 does not directly contact with the metal part of the clamp 20, so that tissue allergy, inflammatory reaction, clamping injury or scratching of the valve tissue in the valve accommodating space 25 can be avoided.
In other embodiments, the valve clip 100 may cover only the first covering film 31 or the second covering film 32, that is, one side of the valve clip 100 facing the valve accommodating space 25 and the edge thereof are completely covered by the covering film 30, and specifically, the side of the proximal clip 21 facing the valve accommodating space 25 covers the first covering film 31 or the side of the distal clip 23 facing the valve accommodating space 25 covers the second covering film 32, which may also reduce damage to the valve tissue.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in the present embodiment, the second covering film 32 covering the two distal clips 23 covers the outer surfaces of the connecting portions (i.e., the portions where the second seat 42 and the connecting seat 15 of the push rod 10 are located) of the two distal clips 23, so as to cover the sharp metal edges of the connecting portions, so as to prevent the sharp metal edges of the connecting portions from damaging the valve tissue or the inner wall of the blood vessel during the process of pushing the valve clip 100.
Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting portion may not cover the second cover film 32.
Further, the coating film 30 is provided with a functional drug by a treatment method such as biological modification, dipping, brushing, dripping, or spraying. For example, an anticoagulant such as heparin may be applied to the surface of the first coating film 31 by dipping, spraying, or the like, or the surface of the first coating film 31 may be biologically modified to have antithrombin properties, and a drug coating may be further applied to the first coating film 31, wherein the drug coating contains at least one of an anticoagulant drug, an antiplatelet drug, or an anti-tissue proliferation drug, so as to promote endothelialization, avoid tissue hyperproliferation, reduce the incidence of corresponding complications, and improve the post-operative survival rate. Similarly, the second film 32 can be provided with a corresponding functional drug, which is not described herein.
Referring to fig. 11, after the proximal clip 21 covers the first membrane 31, the free end of the barb 216 will pierce through and extend out of the first membrane 31 to clamp the valve tissue. Preferably, the thickness of the first cover film 31 covering the area near the barb 216 is larger than the thickness of the first cover film 31 covering the other area of the proximal clip 21, so as to avoid valve tissue damage caused by the fact that the free end of the barb 216 penetrates too deeply into the valve tissue due to too long length of the first cover film 31.
The length of the free end of the barb penetrating through the first coating film 31 is 0.2mm to 2mm, preferably 0.5mm to 1 mm.
It can be understood that when the proximal clip 21 does not cover the first cover film 31, the sharp metal edges are exposed due to the processing, and more exposed sharp edges are likely to damage the valve tissue. Referring to fig. 12 and 13, in the present invention, after the proximal clamping piece 21 covers the first covering film 31, most sharp metal edges are covered in the first covering film 31, and only the hanging end of the barbs is exposed, so that the clamping force on the valve tissue can be ensured and the valve tissue can not be seriously damaged. Moreover, when barb 216 centre gripping valve tissue, first tectorial membrane 31 is whole to have certain hindrance control action to piercing of barb 216, can effective control barb 216 pierce the degree of depth of valve tissue, reduces because the uneven excessive damage that brings for the valve of atress. In addition, in some extreme conditions, once the valve is punctured by the barbs 216, the first cover film 31 immediately covers the punctured position, the high molecular material of the first cover film 31 has high biocompatibility, and the effect of the functional drug on the first cover film 31 can promote the tissue growth near the punctured position, so that the punctured hole is quickly blocked, blood is prevented from permeating into the pericardial cavity, and the risk of pericardial effusion and even cardiac arrest is reduced.
Similarly, after the second covering film 32 is added to the distal clip 23, most of the metal surface is covered in the second covering film 32, so as to avoid serious damage to the valve tissue caused by the distal clip 23.
In addition, the first covering film 31 and the second covering film 32 can also play a role in buffering, so that the clamped valve tissue is stressed uniformly, and the damage caused by the overlarge local stress of the valve tissue is avoided.
As previously mentioned, in this embodiment, the valve binder 100 can be used to reduce or treat "mitral regurgitation". Specifically, referring to fig. 14 to 16 together, the valve clamping device 100 is placed at a position where the anterior leaflet 1a and the posterior leaflet 1b of the mitral valve are not normally involuted, such that one side of one of the distal clamping piece 23 and the proximal clamping piece 21 clamps an edge of the anterior leaflet 1a of the mitral valve, and one side of the other of the distal clamping piece 23 and the proximal clamping piece 21 clamps an edge of the posterior leaflet 1b of the mitral valve, so as to clamp the position where the anterior leaflet 1a and the posterior leaflet 1b of the mitral valve are not normally involuted together, and the covering film 30 on the valve clamping device 100 can prevent the mitral valve from being damaged or scratched. As shown in fig. 15, when the heart contracts, the anterior leaflet 1a and the posterior leaflet 1b are folded, and the anterior leaflet 1a and the posterior leaflet 1b are partially or completely folded at the position where they cannot be normally combined, the area a of the mitral valve opening is reduced or the mitral valve can be completely closed, and only a small amount of blood flows back into the left atrium from the mitral valve opening, so that the "mitral regurgitation" can be reduced or treated. As shown in fig. 16, when the heart is relaxed, the anterior leaflet 1a and the posterior leaflet 1B are only paired together at the position B where the valve clamping device 100 is clamped, and the other positions of the anterior leaflet 1a and the posterior leaflet 1B are still normally relaxed, so that blood can enter the left ventricle from the left atrium, thereby ensuring the normal circulation of blood.
In fig. 15 and 16, the direction of the arrow is the direction of blood flow.
The cover 30 may or may not allow blood to permeate therethrough. Preferably, in the present embodiment, the first and second membranes 31 and 32 can allow blood to permeate therethrough, so as to increase the blocking force for blood circulation, thereby reducing the blood pressure difference between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the covering film 30 may have one or more of a two-dimensional sieve structure, a porous film body, a microporous structure, a woven or non-woven mesh structure, and a foam structure, so as to allow blood to permeate and flow through the covering film 30. In this embodiment, the first film 31 and the second film 32 are both woven mesh structures, and both are provided with a plurality of meshes.
The first coating 31 has an aperture ratio smaller than that of the second coating 32.
The open porosity is a percentage of an open pore area in the entire area of the coating film.
The second coating 32 has a larger opening ratio, so that the second coating 32 has better elasticity and elongation than the first coating 31, when the distal end clamping piece 23 covered with the second coating 32 is opened relative to the push rod 10, the second coating 32 can generate corresponding elastic deformation along with the opening and closing of the distal end clamping piece 23, and the second coating 32 is attached to the distal end clamping piece 23 all the time.
Wherein the number of meshes per inch of the first coating 31 is in the range of 250 meshes to 2500 meshes, and the number of meshes per inch of the second coating 32 is in the range of 24 meshes to 250 meshes. In this embodiment, the number of meshes per inch of the first coating 31 is preferably 500 to 2500 meshes, and the number of meshes per inch of the second coating 32 is preferably 50 to 150 meshes.
The meshes of the first and second coatings 31 and 32 allow blood to pass therethrough and prevent thrombus from passing therethrough. Further, the pore size of the mesh of the first coating 31 is smaller than that of the mesh of the second coating 32. Specifically, the aperture of the mesh of the first coating 31 ranges from 0.01mm to 0.1mm, and the aperture of the mesh of the second coating 32 ranges from 0.2mm to 0.5 mm. In the present embodiment, the aperture of the mesh of the first coating 31 is preferably in the range of 0.01mm to 0.05mm, and the aperture of the mesh of the second coating 32 is preferably in the range of 0.2mm to 0.5 mm.
Preferably, in some embodiments, the pore size of the mesh disposed in the second film 32 along the proximal to distal direction of the distal clip 23 gradually increases, i.e., the mesh of the second film 32 covering the proximal region (i.e., the clamping section 232) of the distal clip 23 is denser than the mesh of the second film 32 covering the distal region (i.e., the connecting section 231) of the distal clip 23.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, in this embodiment, the aperture of the mesh of the second coating film 32 covering the proximal region (i.e., the clamping section 232) of the distal clip 23 is small, and the second coating film 32 in this region has high compactness, so that the second coating film is not easily worn by the proximal edge of the distal clip 23 and does not affect the opening and closing of the distal clip 23; the aperture of the mesh of the second coating 32 covering the distal region (i.e., the connection section 231) of the distal clip 23 is larger, and the elasticity and the elongation of the second coating 32 in this region are better, so that even under the condition of a larger opening and closing angle, the second coating 32 close to the push rod 10 can deform correspondingly along with the opening and closing of the distal clip 23, thereby ensuring that the second coating 32 is attached and fixed to the distal clip 23.
In the utility model, the first coating film 31 is provided with a plurality of meshes, so that the first coating film 31 can allow blood to permeate through, the normal flow of blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle is not influenced, and the blood is prevented from being retained in the left atrium, thereby reducing the damage of blood pressure to the left atrium cavity; moreover, the number and the aperture of the meshes of the first coating 31 are reasonably set, and the first coating 31 can also form an artificial barrier at the atrium side of the valve leaflet to block thrombus in blood, close the opening of the whole valve clamping device 100 facing the atrium side, and prevent the thrombus from entering the inside of the valve clamping device 100 or the left ventricle, so that the valve clamping device 100 is prevented from falling off or the thrombus enters the left ventricle from the left atrium and then enters the blood circulation of the human body through the aorta; in addition, because the first covering film 31 blocks thrombus from entering between the first covering film 31 and the distal clamping piece 23, the impact force of the thrombus on the distal clamping piece 23 is reduced, the service life of the distal clamping piece 23 is prolonged, and the service life of the valve clamping device 100 is further prolonged. Meanwhile, the first cover film 31 can increase the contact area between the proximal clip 21 and blood to buffer the inflow blood, so as to prevent the proximal clip 21 from deforming and slipping off due to the inflow blood impacting the valve clamp 100.
Similarly, in the present invention, the second covering film 32 with a plurality of meshes can make the blood flow normally circulate in the left atrium and between the left ventricles, thereby reducing the blood pressure difference between the left atrium and the left ventricles; moreover, the second coating 32 can block and retain a very small amount of thrombus entering the interior of the valve clamping device 100 through the first coating 31 in the valve clamping device 100, so as to prevent the thrombus from entering the left ventricle and entering the blood circulation of the human body to induce stroke.
It should be noted that the static friction force refers to the resistance force of two objects contacting each other, which resists relative sliding when the contact surfaces of the two objects tend to slide relative to each other but remain relatively still, and is called static friction forceThe sliding friction force, referred to as static friction force for short, is generally denoted by F. The static friction force can be between 0 and FMAXIn which F isMAXIs the maximum static friction force, which is approximately equal to the sliding friction force f. The magnitude of the sliding friction force f is proportional to the positive pressure N, i.e., f ═ μ N. Mu is a dynamic friction factor which is related to the material of the contact surfaces, the roughness and the elasticity between the contact surfaces. For the valve clamping device 100 implanted on the valve leaflet, the first surface 214 of the proximal clip 21 facing the distal clip 23 is in contact with the upper surface of the valve leaflet, the third surface 233 of the distal clip 23 facing the proximal clip 21 is in contact with the lower surface of the valve leaflet, because the tissue of the valve leaflet is sticky and slippery, the surfaces are full of blood and are in constant high-speed motion, so that there is always a relative sliding tendency between the first surface 214 of the proximal clip 21 and the upper surface of the valve leaflet, and between the third surface 233 of the distal clip 23 and the lower surface of the valve leaflet. In the embodiment, the first covering film 31 with a dense density and a small aperture ratio is covered on the proximal clip 21 with an elastic memory function, and the second covering film 32 with a sparse density and a large aperture ratio is covered on the distal clip 23 made of a rigid material, so that when the valve clamping device 100 is affected by blood flow scouring and leaflet jumping and the positive pressure N is not changed, the dynamic friction factors μ between the first surface 214 of the proximal clip 21 and the upper surface of the leaflet and between the third surface 233 of the distal clip 23 and the lower surface of the leaflet are increased, thereby respectively increasing two friction forces, enabling the two friction forces to be matched to achieve dynamic balance under a stress state, and further increasing the clamping force and the stabilizing force of the valve clamping device 100.
Referring to fig. 17 and 18, the present invention further provides a valve clamping system, which includes a pushing device and the valve clamp 100, wherein the valve clamp 100 can be conveyed to the mitral valve by the pushing device, and the valve clamp 100 can be adjusted to a suitable position of the mitral valve. The pushing device comprises an operating handle and a pushing assembly, the proximal end of the pushing assembly is connected with the operating handle, and the distal end of the pushing assembly is detachably connected with the valve clamping device 100. Specifically, the pushing assembly includes a mandrel 210, a liner 220, and an outer tube 230 movably coaxially nested together, the liner 220 being located between the mandrel 210 and the outer tube 230. The operating handle can drive the mandrel 210, the liner 220 and the outer tube 230 to move relatively.
The distal end of the mandrel 210 has external threads 211 that correspond to the internal threads in the internally threaded bore 13 of the proximal end of the push rod 10. When the pushing assembly is connected with the valve clamping device 100, the distal end of the mandrel 210 is in threaded connection with the proximal end of the push rod 10, and the mandrel 210 is driven to move by the operation handle, so that the push rod 10 moves along the axial direction.
The distal end of the outer tube 230 is provided with a T-shaped elastic tab 231 for cooperating with a connecting portion 415 (i.e. a T-shaped slot) on the proximal end of the first housing 41 to connect and unlock the outer tube 230 and the first housing 41. In the natural state, one end of the T-shaped elastic piece 231 is connected to the distal end of the outer tube 230, and the other end is inclined toward the axial position of the outer tube 230. Specifically, when the pushing assembly is connected to the valve clamping device 100, the mandrel 210 is in threaded connection with the push rod 10, the operating handle drives the liner tube 220 to move, so that the liner tube 220 extends into the lumen of the first seat 41, the liner tube 220 jacks up the T-shaped elastic piece 231 of the outer tube 230, so that the T-shaped elastic piece 231 is embedded into the T-shaped slot of the first seat 41, and at this time, the first seat 41 is connected to the outer tube 230; when the operating handle is operated to make the liner tube 220 leave the interior of the first housing 41, the T-shaped elastic piece 231 of the outer tube 230 restores to the natural state, i.e. deforms inward and is separated from the T-shaped slot at the proximal end of the first housing 41, so that the first housing 41 and the outer tube 230 are unlocked.
The pushing device also includes controls, i.e., the aforementioned adjustment lines, for constraining the free ends 212 of the proximal clips 21 to the surface of the stationary base 40 proximate to the push rod 10. Wherein, the adjusting line can be made of metal or polymer materials such as PTFE.
The following description of the operation method of the valve clamping system of the present invention is given by taking the mitral valve repair process as an example, and mainly includes the following steps:
the first step is as follows: the free ends 212 of the proximal clips 21 are tied to the surface of the fixed base 40 using adjustment wires and the pusher assembly is then attached to the valve clip 100. Specifically, the mandrel 210 of the pushing assembly is rotated such that the mandrel 210 is fixed with the push rod 10. And the liner tube 220 is axially moved towards the distal end, so as to jack up the T-shaped elastic piece 231 of the outer tube 230, so that the T-shaped elastic piece 231 is embedded into the T-shaped groove of the first seat body 41, and the first seat body 41 and the outer tube 230 are in a connected state. At this time, the free end of the elastic piece 413 on the first seat 41 is located in the annular groove 11 of the push rod 10, so that the distal clip 23 and the proximal clip 21 are close to the surface of the push rod 10 and remain unchanged.
The second step is that: the valve clip 100 attached thereto is advanced from the left atrium, through the mitral valve, to the left ventricle via the pusher assembly, using a trans-atrial septal approach.
The third step: the relative position of the valve clip 100 and the mitral valve is adjusted by the pushing assembly so that the valve clip 100 approaches the anterior leaflet 1a and the posterior leaflet 1b of the mitral valve.
The fourth step: further, the liner tube 220 is axially moved to the distal end, so that the liner tube 220 pushes up the free end of the elastic piece 413 of the first seat 41, and the free end of the elastic piece 413 is separated from the annular groove 11 at the proximal end of the push rod 10. At this time, the push rod 10 can move axially to drive the distal clip 23 to open and close relative to the push rod 10.
The fifth step: the mandrel 210 is moved in the proximal direction by operating the handle, so that the push rod 10 connected to the mandrel 210 is moved in the proximal direction, and the distal clip 23 is driven to open relative to the push rod 10.
And a sixth step: the valve clip 100 is oriented so that the distal clip 23 is perpendicular to the line of apposition of the mitral valves.
The seventh step: proximally withdrawing the entire valve binder 100 so that the distal clip 23 holds the leaflets against the left ventricle side; releasing the binding of the adjustment wire to proximal clip 21, proximal clip 21 springs back to expand relative to pushrod 10 such that the leaflets are clamped between proximal clip 21 and distal clip 23, i.e., anterior leaflet 1a and posterior leaflet 1b of the mitral valve are clamped between a set of proximal clip 21 and distal clip 23, respectively.
Eighth step: moving the mandrel 210 in a distal direction, the mandrel 210 causes the push rod 10 to move axially in a distal direction, thereby driving the distal jaws 23 to close relative to the push rod 10 until fully closed.
The ninth step: the outer tube 230 is fixed, the liner tube 220 is retracted to a certain stroke, and the free end of the spring piece 413 of the first seat 41 is snapped into the annular groove 11 of the push rod 10 to lock the push rod 10 and ensure that the distal clip 23 is always closed. The rotation of the spindle 210 is controlled by operating the handle, so that the thread between the spindle 210 and the push rod 10 is unlocked. Liner 220 and mandrel 210 are withdrawn proximally until T-shaped tabs 231 of outer tube 230 are unlocked from the T-shaped slots of first housing 41. At this point, the valve clip 100 is completely separated from the pusher assembly. The pushing assembly is withdrawn from the patient, and the valve binder 100 is left in the patient to complete the leaflet edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve. As shown in fig. 14, the proximal clip of the valve binder 100 is fixed to the atrium side of the valve leaflet, and the first covering film 31 contacts with the atrium side of the valve leaflet, so as to isolate the direct contact between the proximal clip 21 and the valve leaflet, increase the friction force of the metal proximal clip 21 to the valve leaflet, make the stress more uniform, and make the stress of each barb uniform, thereby avoiding the damage of the valve leaflet caused by too deep penetration, uneven stress and too large stress; meanwhile, the second coating 32 can improve the adherence of the distal clip 23 to the valve and increase the contact area of the distal clip 23 and the valve; the surface of the far-end clamping piece 23 plays a role in buffering, metal is prevented from being directly contacted with the valve, and the action of mechanical force on the valve is relieved, so that inflammatory reaction is avoided.
It is to be understood that the valve clamping system of the present invention may also be used to deliver a valve clamp to a mitral valve via a transapical approach or the like.
The utility model discloses a valve clamping system can realize operating in vitro to with valve clamping device 100 clamping valve leaf, alleviate or avoid the problem of "mitral valve regurgitation", the tectorial membrane 30 of valve clamping device 100 can reduce or avoid the damage by the valve tissue of centre gripping in addition, also can avoid damaging valve tissue or other vascular tissues at the propelling movement in-process.
Referring to fig. 19 and 20, a valve clamping device 100a according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown, which includes a push rod 10a, a distal clip 23a axially symmetrically disposed on the outer surface of the push rod 10a and capable of opening and closing relative to the push rod 10a, a proximal clip 21a for cooperating with the distal clip 23a to clamp and fix a valve leaflet, a first covering film 31a covering the proximal clip 21a, and a second covering film 32a covering the distal clip 23 a. When the distal clip 23a is closed with the pushrod 10a, it can be delivered through the sheath to the vicinity of the patient's valve. The structures of the proximal clip piece 21a and the first membrane 31a are the same as the structures of the proximal clip piece 21 and the first membrane 31 of the valve clamping device 100 in the first embodiment, and are not described again.
The connecting seat 15a is located at the far end of the push rod 10a, and a round hole is formed at the near end of the connecting seat 15a and used for connecting the push rod 10a in a threaded manner, a welding manner and the like. The connecting base 15a is provided at both sides thereof with pin holes, and a pair of connecting rods 16a are hinge-connected by a pin, i.e., each connecting rod 16a is relatively rotated with the connecting base 15a through a hinge connection. The other end of link 16a is pinned to distal jaw 23 a. The fixing base 40a is sleeved outside the push rod 10a, and the push rod 10a can move along the axial direction thereof, so that the connecting seat 15a and the fixing base 40a can move, and the far-end clamping piece 23a is driven to open and close relative to the push rod 10 a. Referring to fig. 21, in this way, a wider range of opening angles can be achieved, the angle between the two distal clips 23a can be up to 320 degrees at most, preferably the opening angle is from 0 degree to 270 degrees, and more preferably 120 degrees to 180 degrees, that is, after the distal clips 23a are opened relative to the push rod 10a, the distal clips can be turned over downward to some extent, due to the elastic retraction function of the second cover film 32a, the second cover film 32a can conform to the deformation and open without significant resistance when the distal clips 23a are opened, so that the valve leaflets which are constantly in motion can be conveniently clamped, and the clamping success rate is improved.
Fig. 22 shows a valve clip 100b according to another embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the embodiment shown in fig. 3 in that: the valve clamping device 100b comprises a V-shaped proximal clip 21b and a distal clip 23b, and the proximal clip 21b and the distal clip 23b move relatively and overlap to clamp two valve leaflets under the driving of the push rod 10 b.
Wherein, a side surface of the proximal clip piece 21b facing the distal clip piece 23b and a side surface of the distal clip piece 23b facing the proximal clip piece 21b are at least partially covered with the covering film 30 b.
Specifically, each of the proximal clip pieces 21b is covered with a first covering film 31b, each of the distal clip pieces 23b is covered with a second covering film 32b, and a connecting portion between the two distal clip pieces 23b is covered with the second covering film 32 b.
It is understood that the connecting portion between the two proximal jaws 21b may also cover the first covering film 31 b.
The first coating 31b and the second coating 32b are respectively identical to the first coating 31 and the second coating 32 in structure and function, and are not described herein again.
It is understood that the valve clamping devices 100a and 100b and the pushing device can also form a valve clamping system, and the usage steps are the same as those described above, and are not described herein again.
It should be noted that the above description is made by taking the valve clip 100 as an example for reducing or treating "mitral regurgitation". It is understood that, in other embodiments, the valve clamping device 100 may also be used to alleviate or treat "tricuspid regurgitation", and the principle and structure thereof are substantially the same as those of the valve clamping device 100 for solving "mitral regurgitation" in the embodiment of the present invention, and only a plurality of clamps are required to be formed by a plurality of sets of proximal clamping pieces and distal clamping pieces, and each clamp clamps one leaflet respectively, which is not described herein again.
