一种开有非穿透性槽或盲孔的血管支架及其制作方法 技术领域 Vascular stent with non-penetrating groove or blind hole and manufacturing method thereof
本发明属于医疗器械技术领域, 特别涉及在治疗心血管疾病的手术中, 植入冠 状动脉血管的支架设计。 背景技术 The invention belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and particularly relates to a stent design for implanting a coronary artery in a surgery for treating cardiovascular diseases. Background technique
在治疗心血管疾病的各种手术中, 经皮球囊腔内冠状动脉成形术 (PTCA)是 近年来迅速发展起来的一项新的治疗手段,它通过从股动脉切入的支架 /球囊导管输 送系统, 本申请人提出一种由直形主支撑条和连接主支撑条的马蹄形连接条构成的 支架, 该支架在医学影像设备的引导下, 与球囊导管一起被送达冠状动脉的病变狭 窄处, 通过球囊的充气扩张, 使支架撑开狭窄的血管, 从而达到治疗的目的。 In various procedures for the treatment of cardiovascular disease, percutaneous balloon endoscopic coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a new treatment that has developed rapidly in recent years. It passes through a stent/balloon catheter that is cut from the femoral artery. The delivery system, the Applicant proposes a stent consisting of a straight main support strip and a horseshoe-shaped connecting strip connecting the main support strips, which is guided by a medical imaging device and delivered to the coronary artery along with the balloon catheter In the stenosis, through the inflation of the balloon, the stent is opened to a narrow blood vessel for therapeutic purposes.
通常的金属支架在植入冠状动脉后被迅速撑开, 对病变处的血管造成损伤, 并 且由于金属表面直接与血管壁及血液接触, 刺激了人体对异物的排异功能, 金属表 面很快被再生细胞膜包覆, 细胞膜的生长有可能减小甚至阻塞支架扩张形成的新的 血流通道, 造成再狭窄, 研究表明, 支架植入患者的再狭窄率约 30%。 The usual metal stent is rapidly distracted after implantation in the coronary artery, causing damage to the blood vessel in the lesion, and because the metal surface directly contacts the blood vessel wall and blood, stimulating the human body's function of exchanging foreign matter, the metal surface is quickly Regeneration of cell membrane coating, cell membrane growth may reduce or even block the new blood flow channel formed by stent expansion, resulting in restenosis, studies have shown that stent implantation patients with a restenosis rate of about 30%.
为了防止再狭窄的发生, 一些含有阻止血管细胞膜生长药物的涂层被涂覆在支 架的表面。 由于支架在送达血管狭窄处之后被球囊撑开, 形状有很大的改变, 特别 是一些曲率较大的连接条的弯曲处, 形状的改变也很大, 很容易使涂覆在此处的药 物涂层发生脱落。 脱落的涂层块随血流运动, 很可能形成血栓, 造成新的危害。 发明内容 In order to prevent the occurrence of restenosis, some coatings containing drugs that block the growth of vascular cell membranes are coated on the surface of the stent. Since the stent is stretched by the balloon after being delivered to the stenosis of the blood vessel, the shape is greatly changed, especially the curvature of the connecting strip with a large curvature, and the shape changes greatly, so it is easy to apply it here. The drug coating peeled off. The detached coating block moves with the bloodstream and is likely to form a thrombus, causing new hazards. Summary of the invention
本发明的目的是为克服已有技术的不足之处, 提出一种开有非穿透性槽或盲孔 的血管支架, 可改善药物涂层在支架上的附着能力, 延'长药物的释放时间。 The object of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, and to provide a blood vessel stent with a non-penetrating groove or a blind hole, which can improve the adhesion of the drug coating on the stent and prolong the release of the drug. time.
本发明的另一目的是提出上述具有非穿透性槽或盲孔支架的加工方法。具有操 作简单易行的特点。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of processing described above having a non-penetrating groove or blind hole holder. It is easy to operate.
本发明提出的幵有非穿透性槽或盲孔的血管支架, 由直形主支撑条和连接主支 撑条的马蹄形连接条构成, 所述主支撑条的外表面开有非穿透性的槽或打有多个盲 孔, 在该槽或孔中嵌入药物涂层。 The blood vessel stent with non-penetrating groove or blind hole proposed by the invention is composed of a straight main supporting strip and a horseshoe-shaped connecting strip connecting the main supporting strip, and the outer surface of the main supporting strip is non-penetrating The slot or punch has a plurality of blind holes in which the drug coating is embedded.
进一步, 本发明提出的开有非穿透性槽或盲孔的血管支架, 所述的槽或盲孔中
嵌入的药物涂层含有三氧化二砷(AS203), 这种药物能促进损伤后的血管平滑肌细 胞凋亡, 从而降低损伤后血管再狭窄的可能性。 Further, the invention provides a blood vessel stent with a non-penetrating groove or a blind hole, in the groove or the blind hole The embedded drug coating contains arsenic trioxide (AS 2 0 3 ), which promotes apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells after injury, thereby reducing the likelihood of restenosis after injury.
本发明提出制备上述血管支架的一种方法, 包括以下步骤: The invention proposes a method for preparing the above blood vessel stent, comprising the following steps:
1 )制备 (可采用已知方法)或直接选用带有主支撑条及连接条的成型支架; 1) preparation (known methods can be used) or directly using a shaped support with a main support strip and a connecting strip;
2)采用激光加工、 电子束加工或化学刻蚀方法, 在该成型支架的主支撑条上 开非穿透性的槽或打盲孔; 2) using a laser processing, electron beam processing or chemical etching method to open a non-penetrating groove or blind hole on the main support strip of the forming bracket;
3)在所述槽或盲孔中涂覆药物涂层 (具体可采用已知方法制备)。 3) Applying a drug coating (specifically prepared by known methods) in the trough or blind hole.
本发明的特点是使药物涂层可嵌入到槽或孔中。 槽或孔位于支撑条的中部, 其 深度不应影响条的支撑力。 由于处在主支撑条上而不是连接条上, 这些槽或孔在支 架被压缩或撑开时基本上不发生变形, 或者变形极小, 避免了涂层与支架金属表面 之间的相对移动, 从根本上解决了涂层脱落的问题, 改善了药物在支架上的附着能 力。 又由于药物涂层被镶嵌在槽或孔中, 其被血液冲蚀或被血管壁磨蚀的几率也很 小, 涂层的厚度可适当增加, 从而延长了药物的释放时间。 A feature of the invention is that the drug coating can be embedded in a trough or well. The groove or hole is located in the middle of the support strip and its depth should not affect the support force of the strip. Due to being on the main support strip rather than the tie strips, the grooves or holes are substantially free of deformation when the support is compressed or expanded, or the deformation is minimal, thereby avoiding relative movement between the coating and the metal surface of the support, The problem of peeling off the coating is fundamentally solved, and the adhesion ability of the drug on the stent is improved. Moreover, since the drug coating is embedded in the groove or the hole, the probability of being abraded by the blood or abraded by the blood vessel wall is also small, and the thickness of the coating layer can be appropriately increased, thereby prolonging the release time of the drug.
发明人的研究进一步表明, 当所述的药物涂层含有三氧化二砷时, 本发明的血 管支架植入血管后发生再狭窄的几率进一步降低, 可低至 5%以下。 所述的药物涂 层均可采用现有技术中的药物涂层, 只是其中的活性成分选用三氧化二砷, 每个支 架三氧化二砷的剂量范围是: 10~80μ 发明人通过三十多例动物试验发现, 三氧 化二砷对新西兰白兔左颈动脉、骼动脉的球囊损伤后的血管平滑肌细胞的凋亡有促 进作用, 也可诱导大鼠胸主动脉损伤的血管平滑肌细胞凋亡。 三氧化二砷有剧毒, 不宜进行全身系统的用药。 目前应用的全身系统的药物在局部血管损伤处的药物浓 度极低, 一般在 S^m kg-1^以下, 这个剂量是安全的。三氧化二砷在血管局部损 伤处的释放曲线 (如图 6所示)表明局部组织药物浓度高, 而系统机体的药物浓度 低, 因而含有剧毒三氧化二砷的药物涂层不会对系统机体产生影响。 缓慢释放的剧 毒三氧化而砷, 不仅可以对损伤的血管平滑肌细胞的增生起到很好的抑制作用, 并 且可以杀死附着在血管支架表面的细胞, 抑制细胞膜在血管支架表面的生长, 从而 降低冠状动脉介入治疗的再狭窄率。 The inventors' research further indicates that when the drug coating contains arsenic trioxide, the probability of restenosis after implantation of the blood vessel stent of the present invention is further reduced to less than 5%. The drug coating can use the prior art drug coating, except that the active ingredient is arsenic trioxide, and the dosage range of each arsenic trioxide is: 10~80μ. The inventors discovered through more than 30 animal experiments, arsenic trioxide. It can promote the apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells after balloon injury of the left carotid artery and iliac artery in New Zealand white rabbits, and also induce the apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells injured by thoracic aorta in rats. Arsenic trioxide is highly toxic and should not be administered systemically. The currently applied systemic system of drugs has a very low drug concentration at local vascular lesions, typically below S^m kg- 1 ^, which is safe. The release profile of arsenic trioxide in the local lesion of the blood vessel (as shown in Fig. 6) indicates that the local tissue drug concentration is high, and the drug concentration of the system body is low, so the drug coating containing the highly toxic arsenic trioxide does not affect the system body. The slow release of highly toxic trioxide and arsenic can not only inhibit the proliferation of damaged vascular smooth muscle cells, but also kill cells attached to the surface of the vascular stent, inhibiting the growth of the cell membrane on the surface of the vascular stent. Reduce the rate of restenosis in coronary interventions.
本发明的有益效果是: 改善药物涂层在支架上的附着能力, 延长药物的释放时 间, 降低了支架植入后的再狭窄率。 附图说明
