Puncture-able atrial septal occluder
Technical Field
The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a pierceable atrial septal occluder.
Background
Atrial septal defects are a common congenital heart disease, and the mainstream treatment method is percutaneous (femoral vein) atrial septal occlusion by using an occluder. In this procedure, an occluder is one of the most important medical devices.
The current occluders are all of nickel-titanium alloy woven double-disc one-waist I-shaped structures, and the safety and the effectiveness of the occluders are widely proved clinically. Most of patients for atrial septal defect plugging are young patients, the probability of diseases such as atrial fibrillation and mitral regurgitation in the later stage is high, and the complicated diseases can be treated by adopting operations of radio frequency ablation, left atrial appendage plugging, mitral valve clamping and the like which enter the left atrium through the femoral vein and then puncture the atrial septal wall to perform minimally invasive intervention.
However, because the existing occluder has larger volume and dense grids, the whole interatrial space is almost occupied after being implanted into a human body, and the design of double-disk four-layer, dense grids and small meshes (phi 2mm) makes it impossible to puncture the interatrial space to send a sheath tube (phi 3-9mm) into the left atrium, so that a patient loses the interatrial space, and the opportunity of minimally invasive intervention treatment on diseases such as atrial fibrillation and mitral regurgitation is lost.
For example, the occluder a disclosed in patent CN2524710Y (see fig. 1) is a double-disk one-waist structure, which is not provided with a central through hole, so that the puncture sheath cannot pass through the occluder a at all when puncture is needed later.
The patent CN101234042A discloses an occluder b (see fig. 2), which is also of a double-disk-waist structure, and the occluder b is also not provided with a central through hole, and a memory alloy wire is additionally arranged in the waist, so that the occluder b cannot be penetrated through at all when the atrial septum needs to be punctured in the later period.
On the basis of the above patent technology, the applicant designs an occluder c (see fig. 3) disclosed in patent CN206228378U, which is an occluder with a hole in the center, and reserves a small through hole for incompletely sealing the defect of the atrial septum, so as to prevent the condition of the patient from being relieved by the small through hole even after pulmonary hypertension occurs in the later period, the occluder does not completely seal the defective atrial septum, the blood flow can still pass through the through hole, and the occlusion effect is reduced, the size of the central through hole is too small (phi 5-8mm, the diameter of the waist is much larger than the diameter of the through hole), so that the delivery sheath (phi 3-9mm) is difficult to pass through the defect, and the through hole has a certain length, and the delivery sheath is bent, so that the delivery sheath is difficult to pass through the through hole, and even the condition that the occluder is driven by a wall hanging occurs, which.
Therefore, it is necessary to design a safe and simple atrial septal occlusion device which can puncture and keep the atrial septal occlusion safe and effective.
