2. Description of the Related Art Blood pumped from the heart is pumped through the aortic valve of the heart and guided to the whole body through the aorta. The aorta ascends to the right behind the pulmonary trunk and enters the ascending aorta, which forms an arc (this portion is called the aortic arch) and moves posteriorly past the left pulmonary root. It passes immediately to the left of the thoracic vertebra, then to the descending aorta, which runs down the front of the spine, and to the arteries throughout the body. (See Fig. 1) This aortic arch is the main part that sends blood to the whole body. The branch of this part is the common carotid artery (two right and left) leading to the head and the subclavian artery (two right and left) leading to the arm. Branch to In a living body, there are three direct branches from the aortic arch. When a lesion occurs in the vicinity of the bifurcation, treatment is performed by replacing the bifurcation of the intricately bifurcated living blood vessel with an artificial blood vessel. At this time, a blood vessel that matches the biological structure is considered to be good.

FIG. 2 shows an example of replacement of an artificial blood vessel using an aortic aneurysm as an example. The practitioner excises the lesion of the living blood vessel, stitches the artificial blood vessel, replaces the lesion with the artificial blood vessel, and completes the operation. On the other hand, when the lesion further extends to the bifurcation, that is, as shown in FIG. 3, if a pre-branched artificial blood vessel can be obtained, the power of the operation can be reduced and the operation time can be shortened. It is extremely dangerous to perform this kind of operation, which involves the extremely risk of open heart surgery and is difficult even for highly skilled practitioners. The present invention is an improvement of the present invention, and the shape of the biocompatibility is improved by changing the projecting position of the side tube.

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 (A), 4 (B) and 4 (C). FIG. 4 (A) is a view of the bifurcated vascular graft according to the present example as viewed from the longitudinal direction and the direction perpendicular thereto.
-P 'is the length direction. The main part of this artificial blood vessel has an inner diameter of 1
The side tube (b, c) having a relatively small inner diameter of 8 mm to 36 mm and an inner diameter of 5 mm to 15 mm has its center on the line pp ′ in the length direction of the artificial blood vessel. Is sewn. On the other hand, the center of the side pipe having the largest inner diameter is x mm (for example, x
= 3 mm). For this reason, when the derivation direction of the side tube is viewed in the length direction of the artificial blood vessel, in other words, when viewed from the cross-sectional circular direction of the artificial blood vessel, the derivation in the different direction as shown in FIG. It is at the core of the features of the invention.

The distance y between the side tubes b and c is, for example, 8 mm. Unless the distance y is 10 mm or less, it is difficult to anastomose with the host blood vessel in a narrow positional relationship. Also, the distance z between the side tubes a and b
Is, for example, 10 mm, and it is necessary that z is 18 mm or less due to a narrow positional relationship in a living body. If the distance is larger than 19 mm, positional anesthesia with an anastomosis with a host blood vessel occurs. In the one shown in FIG. 4A, two of the side tubes are arranged in the length direction of the main vascular prosthesis, but these two tubes need not necessarily be arranged in the length direction.

FIG. 4C shows an example. In this example, the two side tubes having relatively small inner diameters are inclined at a certain angle θ with respect to the length direction of the main vascular prosthesis. The inner diameter of the side tube is, for example, 11 mm for side tube a, 7.5 mm for b, and 8 for c.
mm. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4C, the positional relationship between the thicker side tube of the present invention and the other two side tubes is a straight line connecting the centers of the two thinner side tubes. The shortest distance x between the straight lines running in parallel with each other is within 1 mm to 10 mm, and more preferably within the range of 2 mm to 8 mm. If this distance is less than 1 mm, the effect is thin, and conversely, 10 m
If it exceeds m, the angle of the relatively thick side tube is extreme, and conversely, it becomes difficult to anastomose with the host blood vessel.

FIG. 5 is a three-dimensional view for understanding the positional relationship in the branching direction of the replacement artificial blood vessel when the artificial blood vessel of this embodiment is replaced with a living heart. As can be easily understood from this figure, two side tubes (b, c) for guiding blood to the left and a relatively thick side tube (a) for guiding blood to the right are arranged at a certain angle. It will be understood that the anastomosis can be easily made with the living blood vessel.

The artificial blood vessel used in the present invention is a polyester artificial blood vessel in which three side tubes are branched, wherein the inner diameter of the side tube is different, and the inner diameter of the side tube having the largest inner diameter is different from that of the other side tube. The ratio of the inner diameters of any side tubes is in the range of 1.1 to 1.7. Further, in the branched artificial blood vessel derived from the three side tubes, the distance between the side tube having the largest inner diameter and the side tube adjacent thereto is preferably 18 mm or less.

The present invention relates to a bifurcated vascular prosthesis for replacing a lesion of an aortic arch in a prosthetic blood vessel, wherein three side pipes are branched into a main part of the prosthetic blood vessel. One has a larger inside diameter than the other side tubes. The inner diameter of the main part of the artificial blood vessel is 18 mm to 36 mm, preferably 20 mm to 3 mm.
Between 2 mm. When this inner diameter is smaller than 18 mm, it does not match with the living aorta in an adult, and 36 mm
If it is larger, it is also inconsistent with the diameter of the living vessel, making anastomosis difficult or impossible. Living blood vessels vary in size from person to person, but most often fall within 18 mm to 36 mm. In the case of infants and children, smaller diameters are required, but there are not many examples. This is because the lesion to which this artificial blood vessel is applied is usually almost the same for adults.

[0013] In the branched artificial blood vessel of the present invention, three side tubes are derived from the main part of the artificial blood vessel.
It is necessary that the inner diameter of the book, especially one end tube, be larger than the other side tube. The reason is that in the aorta of the body,
On the left, the common carotid artery leading to the neck and the clavicle artery leading to the left arm derive directly and independently from the aortic arch, while on the right first the relatively thick brachiocephalic artery derives from the aortic arch.
It is divided into common carotid artery and subclavian artery. In other words, there are three branch arteries directly derived from the aortic arch: a relatively thick brachiocephalic artery, a relatively thin subclavian artery, and a common carotid artery. Of course, it is also understood that the blood flow in the brachiocephalic artery should be comparable to the sum of the blood flow in the subclavian artery and the common carotid artery.

In the present invention, the ratio of the inside diameter of the side tube having a relatively large inside diameter to the inside diameter of any other relatively small side tube is 1.1.
To 1.7, more preferably 1.20 to 1.5
0, more preferably between 1.25 and 1.45.
If this ratio is less than 1.1, the blood volume on the left and right sides of the human body will be unbalanced, and it will be impossible to supply a sufficient blood volume to the right side of the human body. The blood volume of the blood becomes large. That is, the living body deviates from the natural state and becomes unnatural, which is not preferable for the living body.

What is important in matching with the living body is the distance between the branch tubes of the artificial blood vessel. In the case of replacing the artificial blood vessel with the living blood vessel, there is a branch in an extremely narrow local area. Therefore, if this interval is not appropriate, it is actually impossible to replace a lesion in a narrow place. Here, the interval between the branch pipes is extremely important. In the present invention, the distance (z) between the relatively thick side pipe (a, inner diameter d 1 ) shown in FIG. 4 and the adjacent side pipe (b, inner diameter d 2 ) is 18 mm or less, preferably 15 mm or less, more preferably. Is 10mm

As described above, if there is no dimensional compatibility, anastomosis with a living blood vessel and locational fitting become impossible or unnatural. Naturally, the artificial blood vessel is a substitute for a living blood vessel, and it is important that the artificial blood vessel fits naturally and naturally. Satisfying these conditions leads to ease of operation for the operator, shortens the operation time, and contributes to the postoperative natural blood circulation for the patient. become.

Example 1 Using a woven artificial blood vessel (inner diameter 28 mm, length 50 cm) made of polyester with a porosity of 50 ml, the side face was cut out in a circular shape, and one 11 mm inner diameter and 8 m inner diameter were cut out.
m2 artificial vascular graft made of the same polyester (porosity 50
ml) was sutured to make an artificial blood vessel having three side tubes. In this case, a relatively thick side tube (11 mm in this example)
The ratio of the inner diameter of the artificial blood vessel (8 mm in this example) to the relatively thin artificial blood vessel is 1.38. In this example, the two side tubes having an inner diameter of 8 mm are:
It is sutured so that its center in the length direction of the main vessel artificial blood vessel (inner diameter 28 mm) rides (see FIGS. 4, b and c). On the other hand, the side pipe having an inner diameter of 11 mm was sewn at a distance of 4 mm from a straight line connecting the centers of the two side pipes having an inner diameter of 8 mm (see FIG. 4, x = 4 mm). The distance between the side pipe having an inner diameter of 11 mm and the side pipe having an inner diameter of 8 mm is 10 mm, and the side pipe having an inner diameter of 8 mm is 2 mm.
The distance between the side tubes of the book was 8 mm. Although the replacement of the pathological aortic arch was actually performed with this bifurcated vascular graft, the positional compatibility was extremely good, the anastomosis was performed smoothly, and the operation was performed accurately in a shorter time than expected.

l, 70 cm in length) make a circular cutout on the side, and sew one side tube with an inner diameter of 10 mm, and one side tube each with an inner diameter of 7.5 mm and 8 mm in the above order, and cut three branches. We made a branch artificial blood vessel. In this case, the inner diameter ratio between the thickest side pipe (inner diameter 10 mm) and the other side pipes (inner diameter 7.5 mm and 8 mm) is 1.33 and 1.25, respectively. In this example, the centers of the two side tubes having an inner diameter of 8 mm and 7.5 mm are sutured so as to ride in the length direction of the main tube artificial blood vessel (inner diameter of 25 mm), and a straight line connecting the centers of the two side tubes is used. It is stitched with the center of the side tube with the largest inner diameter shifted by 3 mm. The distance between the side tubes is 10 m between the side tube having an inner diameter of 10 mm and the adjacent side tube having an inner diameter of 7.5 mm.
m, the distance from the side tube having an inner diameter of 8.0 mm having an inner diameter of 7.5 mm was 7 mm. When the three-dimensional positional relationship of this branched artificial blood vessel was examined in an actual clinical setting, extremely conformity in shape was recognized.
