Definitions
- the invention relates to a multivalent, novel atrial appendage occluder as a hybrid based on two different atrial appendage occluders, one with a proximal disc-shaped cover and a second version without a proximal cover. Both occluder variants represent application solutions that are relevant in themselves.
- LAA Left Atrial Apendage
- LAA occluders made from the devices embody a network of lattice-shaped stent-shaped elements lasered from a metal tube (nitinol), the final shape of which as a closure device of the left atrial appendage is given a suitable shape by means of a reshaping and heat treatment process and is elongated by a catheter is brought into the cardiovascular system.
- this device When it emerges from the catheter tip, this device assumes its predetermined shape in the atrial appendage and is anchored at the target location and "released” after checking the correct position and location. Over the course of a few weeks, the implant grows in, whereby it is overgrown by the body's own endothelial cells.
- the catheter introduced into the right atrium from the right inguinal vein must first be guided through a transseptal puncture of the atrial septum into the left atrium.
- the occluder developed here has self-centering properties.
- Two such auricular appendage occluders can be used in combination for specially shaped, very open auricular appendages.
- the atrial appendage occluder without a proximal cover must first be implanted.
- the heartbeat is induced by regular electrical impulses that originate in the sinus node of the heart.
- the periodic impulse is superimposed and disrupted by disorganized impulses originating from the roots of the pulmonary veins in the heart muscle.
- this type of cardiac arrhythmia can also make itself felt through palpitations, syncope or chest pain.
- Atrial fibrillation is classified into subgroups: paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (converts spontaneously into sinus rhythm when it occurs) persistent atrial fibrillation (atrial fibrillation that has existed for more than seven days; therapy is available) permanent atrial fibrillation (permanent, therapy-resistant atrial fibrillation)
- a second classification scheme is based on the cause of the arrhythmia: Valvular atrial fibrillation: Starting from the mitral valve or mitral valve regurgitation caused by atrial fibrillation
- Non-valvular atrial fibrillation Based on other causes (e.g., high blood pressure)
- Non-valvular atrial fibrillation is the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia, with an incidence of 1 to 2% in the general population. This proportion is likely to increase over the next 50 years due to demographic changes, as the incidence increases with age.
- AF non-valvular atrial fibrillation
- the prevalence of typical diseases that favor non-valvular atrial fibrillation also increases with age.
- 0.5% of all people in the age group from 40 to 50 years and 5 to 15% of all people in the age group over 80 years are affected. Men are affected to a greater extent than women of the same age group.
- the left atrial appendage is a muscle pocket that connects to the left atrium of the heart. It serves as the origin tissue and reservoir for the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP).
- APN atrial natriuretic peptide
- the LAA is actively contracted and deflated.
- the blood flow in this appendix is slowed to the point of stasis, with an increased likelihood of thrombus formation.
- the crypt-rich structure of the individual LAAs is made up of one to three lobes, is highly diverse and offers an ideal environment for thrombus formation, due to the trabecular structure of the inner wall of the left auricular appendage, in contrast to the smooth inner wall of the rest of the left fore-and-throat. Thrombi formed there, released into the circulation, can lead to ischemia in the brain or other organs, such as the kidney.
- Ischemic stroke is characterized by a rapid loss of neurological functions due to the interruption of the blood supply to affected areas of the brain.
- the supply deficit is caused by a thrombus or cerebral hemorrhage.
- AF-associated stroke is also characterized by higher mortality and morbidity compared to strokes without the presence of AF (Landmesser U and Holmes DR, 2012).
- a stroke is a medical emergency that can cause severe, permanent neurological dysfunction up to and including death.
- CHADS2 Score The CHADS2 point system
- CHADS2 Score The CHADS2 point system
- This score has been expanded to include newly identified risk factors for the CHA2DS2-VASC score. Two or more points indicate a high risk of stroke.
- the European Society of Cardiology recommends oral anticoagulation.
- the British NICE (“UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence”) also considers percutaneous LAA closure as an option for stroke prevention in the event that oral anticoagulation is contraindicated or intolerance is present (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, 2014, August: Atrial fibrillation: the management of atrial fibrillation - NICE clinical guideline 180).
- the EHRA (“European Heart Rhythm Association”) already wrote a position paper in 2011 which recommends percutaneous LAA closure as an option for patients with contraindications to oral anticoagulation. Especially in patients with previous episodes of a intracranial hemorrhage, stroke prophylaxis without long-term oral anticoagulation is desirable.
- Stroke prevention is based on oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (warfarin, mainly used in the USA and phenprocoumon, mainly used in Europe) and now also with newer drugs.
- vitamin K antagonists warfarin, mainly used in the USA and phenprocoumon, mainly used in Europe
- platelet aggregation inhibitors based on acetylsalicylic acid as monotherapy or in combination with clopidogrel is less effective but associated with the same risks as oral anticoagulation. This would be severe bleeding and / or intracranial bleeding. Inhibition of platelet aggregation should be limited wherever possible.
- Classic oral anticoagulation such as the use of warfarin, has a narrow therapeutic window, is characterized by considerable drug interactions and increases the risk of intracranial and gastrointestinal bleeding, especially in the elderly.
- Newer preparations such as dabigatran etexilate, rivaroxaban and apixaban show only a slightly reduced risk of intracranial bleeding compared to warfarin. Therefore, despite the better risk profile, there is still a substantial risk of bleeding. These preparations are also not intended for long-term medication. For these reasons, oral anticoagulants are only prescribed cautiously. Another problem is inadequate patient monitoring for effective dosing. A study showed that 44% of the patients only achieve a sub-therapeutic drug level and 19% of the patients achieve a supra-therapeutic drug level.
- oral anticoagulants are contraindicated from the outset in 14 to 44% of all AF risk patients. This is particularly true of the elderly, but in whom the risk of stroke is complementarily highest. Another important factor that makes pharmacological therapy difficult is poor adherence to therapy on the part of those affected.
- the use of oral anticoagulants means a big break in the habitual lifestyle.
- Stroke prevention through an open, surgical closure or removal of the LAA is made more difficult by the high rates of incompletely closed LAAs after the procedure. These are 10 to 80%, depending on the method and the surgeon's level of experience.
- the LAA excision shows the highest success rate and the suture or clasp closure shows the lowest success rate (Guerios EE et al., 2012).
- the suturing technique used is very important here.
- the suture from “inside”, with the LAA being sutured from the left atrium, is certainly to be preferred here.
- the LAAOSIII study, which will be published shortly, will show better data here.
- LAA occluder A valid prevention option for patients with a contraindication for oral anticoagulation or other conditions that prevent conservative or surgical therapy is percutaneous closure using a so-called LAA occluder.
- Transcatheter techniques allow percutaneous access to the LAA and the use of these medical products, which usually consist of expandable nitinol nets.
- An occluder that is too small allows residual leakage.
- An occluder that is too large can lead to compression of the adjacent coronary artery or coronary artery (especially the circumflex branch).
- LAA occluders There are currently two predominant, prototypical LAA occluders on the market:
- the Watchman LAA system and its successor, the Watchman FLX (Boston Scientific Natick, MA, USA)
- Rodes-Cabau and colleagues particularly emphasize the ease of use and the correction options of the ACP in the event of an initial misplacement. Montenegro and colleagues also report that misplaced occluders or occluders with incorrect dimensions could be retrieved and replaced without complications. Lam and colleagues in particular also discuss the design advantages of the ACP compared to other regularly used occluder types, which, due to inherent design features, harbor the risk of residual flow.
- the Watchman is made of a fabric-covered nitinol frame, which has a combined sealing and anchoring function.
- the left atrial appendage bulges as a result of friction with the pericardium, causing very painful inflammations of the pericardium.
- the hooks used to attach the occluder can in turn cause perforation of the pericardium;
- the risk of thrombus formation is relatively high due to the coupling at the proximal end of the occluder, which sometimes protrudes far into the left atrium; Localization problems also occur with the WATCHMAN device.
- these devices also have the disadvantage that, due to its positioning in the left atrium, the catheter is at an unfavorable angle to the position of the occluder in the end position in the left atrial appendage with respect to the direction of its longitudinal axis (both axes are almost at right angles to one another), which leads to significant obstructions during the course of the implantation and can also lead to perforation of the left pericardium by piercing the wall of the left atrial appendage.
- the object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages described in relation to the prior art and, in particular, to achieve an easily manageable implantation process with a secure implantation closure by means of such an LAA occluder.
- the use of smaller catheters leads to a gentler treatment of the patient.
- heat treatment devices are used with which laser-cut LAA occluders can be produced from a metal tube, which are self-centering and in various sizes assume an optimally fixed position after the interventional insertion.
- the basic shape of such an occluder is similar to that of a cylindrical body with rounded edges and an additional membrane located in the middle and further membranes located at the distal end.
- a coupling with an internal thread was integrated into the proximal end.
- the hooks provided for secure anchoring of the LAA occluder in the left atrial appendage are axially and radially aligned through the use of these special devices in order to achieve optimal function, safe and gentle placement of the occluder in the holding area of the left atrial appendage and the use of smaller ones Allow catheter.
- the occluder is largely lasered from a nitinol tube.
- suitable heat treatment processes are used with the help of these special devices in order to fully exploit the super-elastic material properties of Nitinol (a titanium-nickel alloy, which is about 70 times more elastic than steel) with targeted partial and intermediate processing steps .
- the occluder blank is introduced into several preliminary, intermediate or end devices in a heating furnace in one processing stage and is there at a temperature of 350 to approx. 600 degrees Celsius for about half an hour to three minutes hold. High temperatures allow short heat treatment times.
- the device with the occluder located therein must be cooled relatively quickly, for example with appropriately tempered air or liquid nitrogen.
- the occluders to be manufactured can be introduced into a temperature-controlled, suitable molten salt at around 470 to 550 degrees; the holding times of around 5 to 1 minute are significantly shorter due to the immediate and intensive contact with the melt.
- a certain number of hooks are located in the proximal retention area of the occluder for secure anchoring of the occluder. About seven times the pipe diameter of the starting pipe makes sense: With a pipe diameter of 3mm, this results in 21 hooks.

- corresponding laser cuts 27 were made in the wall of a nitinol tube in FIGS. 1 (a-b) with a suitable laser.
- the later final shape of the occluder 1 is already given by predetermined, correspondingly short or longer laser cuts 27 and the narrower, wider, shorter or longer shaped elements 18 resulting therefrom.
- a 1.5 to 2 mm short tube section remains free from laser production.
- a small inner cylinder with an M1 thread is inserted into this end pipe piece, which can accommodate an insertion wire with an external thread M1 as a coupling 20.
- a tool mandrel 28 is inserted into the distal end 12 of the lasered sheath 9 of the nitinol tube 8, which mandrel expands the laser-machined sheath 9.
- the proximal end of the lasered sheath 9 and the short end piece of the nitinol tube 8 are in turn located in a tool holder 29 in order to ensure the axial alignment of the later final shape of the occluder 1 in this early work step.
- the first sub-step of the heat treatment process now begins in order to stabilize the first intermediate shape.
- the next work steps can then be repeated, with further device parts with each further step of the production of intermediate forms required are.
- the expanded nitinol tube according to FIG. 3 expanded even further, followed by the heat treatment process, etc.
- These work steps can be carried out several times up to the final shape with other specific work steps for further shaping of intermediate shapes while maintaining the axial alignment.
- molten salts are preferred because of the higher quality standards.
- Fiq. 6 is now a schematic device 35 for the penultimate working step of the heat treatment of an occluder 1 according to FIG. 14, the hooks 19 and their repeated axial and, at the same time, radial alignment are prefabricated for the last step of the heat treatment, so that we have the according to Fiq. 7 prefabricated occluder 1 with the later final shape according to Fiq. 14, in which the hooks are still perpendicular to the central axis 36.
- This prefabricated occluder 1 according to Fiq. 7 is now used for the final heat treatment in a further, end-modified device 35 for the occluder 1 according to FIG. 14 are used to shape the hooks 19, which are aligned axially and radially at the same time.

- the detailed view 5 according to Fiq. 9 a shows, in the two schematic representations on the left and on the right, a hook 19 that has not yet been formed as an elongated shaped element 18.
- FIGS. 9 b show the detailed view 5 of the finally modified device in the final assembled state in order to carry out the subsequent heat treatment process:
- the hook 19 is pressed into the lowest position of the recess 38 by a hold-down device 37 and held in this position by the hold-down device 37 until the last heat treatment step has been completed .
- the occluder 1 blank receives a final electropolishing and after various final cleanings by means of ultrasound and ultrapure water, two PET patches 21 or similar patches 21 are introduced into the occluder 1 according to their function, as shown in FIG. 11 is shown.
- the two patches 21 are sewn in by hand with three commercially available surgical threads each, namely one patch 21 in the proximal cover 14 and a second patch 21 in the bulbous area of the occluder 1 immediately after the waist or web 15.
- the heat treatment device 35 according to FIG. 12 is the equivalent of the device Fiq. 8. With the help of this device 35, the occluder 1 without a proximal cover 14 is finally closed as in FIG. 13 shown manufactured. This occluder 1 according to FIG. 13 required according to Fiq. 14, however, only a patch 21 for sealing off the blood flow as shown in FIG. 15 b can be seen.
- the finished and sterilized atrial appendage occluders 1 with and without a proximal cover according to FIG. 11 and Fiq. 14 can now be used for interventional stroke prophylaxis as required.
- the interventional atrial appendage closure is based on a venous, transseptal access, via which a self-expanding device is introduced into the left atrial appendage 24 after fluoroscopic imaging.
- the patient is treated preoperatively with substances that inhibit platelet aggregation or have an anticoagulant effect.
- the occluder 1 After puncturing the femoral vein, the occluder 1 is advanced with the aid of an insertion wire over the right atrium and, after a transseptal puncture, into the left atrium 23 and finally released from the sheath in the left atrial appendage 24.
- the distal spherical body expands in the atrial appendage 24, while the proximal cover 14 seals the atrial appendage entrance 25 from the outside.
- the occluder After checking the positioning in the LAA, the occluder can be decoupled from the feeder system. The entire procedure takes place under constant TEE control, with the patient lying in mild anesthesia (sleep state in which respiratory and circulatory functions are kept stable).
- anticoagulants drugs to thin the blood
- ASA ASA and / or clopidogrel intake. This serves to prevent blood clots from forming.
- the patient is examined echocardiographically at defined intervals.
- the hooks 19 located on the circumference of the occluder 1 are in the “rest position” of the occluder 1 during transport in the lock.
- the latter unfolds during transport in an elongated, tube-like shape in the catheter up to the distal opening without the hooks 19 becoming effective. This also applies until shortly before the end of the implantation process.
- the hooks 19 emerge from the surface of the occluder 1 and secure a firm anchoring in the left atrial appendage 24 only through the compression present in the left atrial appendage 24 after the complete occluder 1 has been released 24 can position, the occluder 1 to be inserted should according to Fiq.
- two occluders 1 can be implanted to close the left atrial appendage, the second occluder 1 being inserted about 6 weeks after the first implantation. Examples are in Fiq. 16 two occluders 1 without a proximal cover implanted. In Fiq. 17 there was a real hybrid application through the use of a heart occluder without a proximal cover and then an occluder with a proximal cover.
