Description
本发明涉及医疗器械技术领域,特别涉及一种植入心脏内用于替换原生三尖瓣瓣膜的瓣膜假体。
心脏瓣膜是人或某些动物的器官里面可以开闭的膜状结构。每个人的心脏内都有四个瓣膜。即连结左心室和主动脉的主动脉瓣、连结右心室和肺动脉的肺动脉瓣、连结左心房和左心室的二尖瓣和连结右心房和右心室的三尖瓣。它们均起单向阀门作用,使血液只能从一个方向流向另一个方向而不能倒流。
随着社会经济的发展和人口的老龄化,瓣膜性心脏病的发病率明显增加,研究表明75岁以上的老年人群瓣膜性心脏病发病率高达13.3%。目前,采用传统外科手术治疗仍是重度瓣膜病变患者的首选治疗手段,但是对于高龄、合并多器官疾病、有开胸手术史以及心功能较差的患者来说,传统外科手术的风险大、死亡率高,部分患者甚至没有手术的机会。
三尖瓣作为右心脏的房室瓣,其结构与二尖瓣类似,包含瓣叶、瓣环、腱索、乳头肌及心肌。经导管三尖瓣的置换/修复术具有无需开胸、创伤小、患者恢复快等优点,受到了专家学者的广泛关注。
虽然三尖瓣瓣膜置换技术飞速发展,但是在瓣膜的设计上仍存在一些公认的难题,比如,1、瓣膜的锚固。现有的三尖瓣设计基本采用夹瓣叶,或者抓取瓣叶进行锚固,这两种锚固方式都会牵拉腱索,对原生瓣叶造成损伤。也有人提出利用房室隔进行锚固,但是这种锚固方式不牢靠,也需要额外借助夹瓣叶的形式,否则易脱落,存在安全隐患。2、存在传导阻滞的风险。通过支架主体进行锚固,支架对传导组织有压迫,会存在传导阻滞的风险。
发明内容
本发明提供了一种三尖瓣瓣膜假体,可以解决现有技术中的上述缺陷。
本发明的技术方案如下:
一种三尖瓣瓣膜假体,包括:支架主体,植入在三尖瓣瓣环处,用于支撑人工瓣叶;锚固结构,设于所述支架主体上方,用于将所述支架主体锚固在原生瓣环处,防止其发生移位;其中,所述锚固结构构造成部分附接至房间隔的卵圆窝,通过附接卵圆窝形成固位力,从而实现对所述瓣膜假体的锚固作用。本发明在卵圆窝原生结构的启示下,充分利用卵圆窝的凹陷结构将锚固结构部分卡固在卵圆窝内,从而提供一定的固位力,防止心脏压缩时瓣膜假体发生移动;本发明的锚固结构改变了传统夹瓣叶或者抓取瓣叶的锚固方式,不会牵拉腱索,或者损伤瓣叶。
较佳地,所述锚固结构包括第一锚固件,所述第一锚固件构造为具有至少一个凸出部,所述凸出部嵌入至卵圆窝内并贴合卵圆窝的内壁以起到锚固作用,为瓣膜假体提供有效的锚固力。
其中,凸出部优选为由杆状件构造成的圆弧形结构,此时,凸出部可以设置有一个,优选的,所述凸出部设置有至少两个,每一所述凸出部沿轴向延伸且多个所述凸出部之间并列排布,并列排布指的是多个凸出部沿卵圆窝长轴的方向分布。杆状件成型的工艺简单,且多个凸出部同时嵌入卵圆窝并贴合短轴,能够提供更加稳定的固位作用。
较佳地,所述锚固结构还包括第二锚固件,所述第二锚固件通过径向作用力固定至心房壁以提供进一步的锚固力。其中,第二锚固件采用Oversize的方式布设在右心房内,从而提供径向作用力以实现锚固。
较佳地,所述第二锚固件构造成配置有一外凸部,所述外凸部嵌入卵圆窝内以提供进一步的锚固力,外凸部贴合卵圆窝内壁,可以防止第二锚固件的移位。
为了防止第一锚固件与第二锚固件的连接处对较为薄软的卵圆窝造成损伤,在所述凸出部的上边缘处,所述第二锚固件与所述第一锚固件连接,卵 圆窝上缘心房壁较厚,可以承受更大的挤压,同时还可以起到进一步稳定锚固结构的作用。
具体的,第二锚固件构造成圆形或弧形的杆状结构,第二锚固件的延伸方向与第一锚固件延伸方向呈预定的角度设置,预定的角度使得第二锚固件的受力部分在卵圆窝附近,避免挤压Koch三角和传导组织。较佳地,所述锚固结构还包括至少一个连接部,所述锚固结构通过所述连接部固定至所述支架主体,在近所述支架主体的位置处,所述连接部构造成朝向所述支架主体的方向延伸,使得本发明的锚固结构的受力部分在卵圆窝附近,避免挤压Koch三角和传导组织,避免遮挡右心房底部区域的冠状窦口和下腔静脉口。
较佳地,所述连接部的数量设置有多个,且所述连接部的上边缘向远离所述支架主体的轴线的方向延伸。即连接部的上边缘附接至心房壁,多个连接部可以增大锚固结构的接触面积,从而提供增强的锚固力。同时,多个连接部还可以用于稳定上述的锚固结构,优选的,连接部沿支架主体的周向均匀分布,具体的数量应根据锚固需求以及压握难度进行设置。
较佳地,所述锚固结构还包括伸出部,所述伸出部包括刺入心房壁的锚定针或抓取组织的倒钩,以起到进一步的锚固作用。
较佳地,所述伸出部配置在远离所述支架主体的端部,避开卵圆窝,防止锚定针或倒钩刺破卵圆窝。
较佳地,所述锚固结构由生物相容性较好的材料制成,生物相容性较好的材料有利于内皮化可以帮助修复卵圆窝缺损,如先天性卵圆孔未闭、继发孔型房间隔缺损或左心介入手术后在卵圆窝上遗留的通道孔。
较佳地,所述锚固结构的表面还设有覆膜层或裙边,覆膜层可通过覆膜、编织布缝合等形式设置,覆膜层的材料可选PET、PTFE或ePTFE、PU等生物相容性好且容易内皮化的材料,既可以保护原生组织不被支架框架刮伤又可以增大内皮化的面积,为锚固提供辅助。当锚固结构表面覆设裙边时,裙边可以设置在锚固结构的连接部上,且应裸露部分网格,避免挤压、接触Koch三角,同时避免遮挡下腔静脉口和冠状窦口。
与现有技术相比,本发明的有益效果如下:
第一,本发明的锚固结构部分附接至房间隔的卵圆窝,通过卵圆窝的凹陷结构形成对所述锚固结构的固位力,从而实现对所述瓣膜假体的锚固作用,改变了传统夹瓣叶或者抓取瓣叶的锚固方式,不会牵拉腱索,或者损伤瓣叶。
第二,第一锚固件通过凸出部以嵌入卵圆窝的方式实现锚固,凸出部的成型方式简单容易实现,当锚固结构还包括锚固至心房壁的第二锚固件,以及第二锚固件构造成部分嵌入卵圆窝时,进一步提供增强的锚固力;第一锚固件、第二锚固件共同作用,锚固牢靠。
第三,本发明的锚固结构通过连接部起到固定作用,在近支架主体的位置处朝向支架主体方向延伸以避开传导组织,且锚固结构的主要受力部分在卵圆窝附近,避免挤压Koch三角与传导组织,防止传导阻滞。
当然,实施本发明的任一产品并不一定需要同时达到以上所述的所有优点。

本发明提供一种植入式三尖瓣瓣膜假体,充分利用卵圆窝的原生结构,通过锚固结构部分嵌入卵圆窝的方式,提供一定的锚固力,从而实现瓣膜假体的锚固。
通常所说的三尖瓣是指三尖瓣复合体,位于右心房与右心室之间,由三尖瓣环、三尖瓣、腱索和乳头肌组成,在功能和结构上形成一个整体,确保血流从心房流向心室。参见图7,为右心房的解剖学结构示意图,右心房有三个入口,即上、下腔静脉口以及冠状窦口;以及一个出口即三尖瓣口。上腔静脉口位于心房后上部,下方有下腔静脉口,下腔静脉的左前方为三尖瓣口,冠状窦口在下腔静脉瓣与三尖瓣口之间。右心房的内侧壁为房间隔,其下部有一卵圆形的凹陷,称为卵圆窝。卵圆窝在房间隔的下1/3,下腔静脉口的左上方,中央凹陷处有一深达3~4mm的小沟。
原生瓣环周围有房室结位于房间隔右侧心内膜下方,在冠状窦口前内缘、三尖瓣隔瓣附着缘和Todaro腱,构成Koch三角,三角前部的顶点即前瓣与隔瓣联合处为附近为房室结。房室结是心脏传导系统的重要组成部分,Todaro腱的作用除了支持和牵拉下腔静脉瓣与冠状窦瓣,对房间隔下部的心肌也有一定的支持和固定作用。因此在三尖瓣原位置换的瓣膜设计中应尽量避免挤压及覆盖Koch三角区域。
通常所说的瓣膜假体由两部分组成:瓣膜支架及固定在其上的人工瓣叶,其中,瓣膜支架主要包括支架主体110和锚固结构210,支架主体110为两端开口的中空柱状结构,人工瓣叶固定在支架主体110的内周。支架主体110和锚固结构210之间采用铆接、焊接、卡扣、缝合等方式连接。锚固结构210可以采用镍钛合金或其他具有形状记忆特性的生物相容材料制成,也可以选择可弹性或可塑性变形的材料,如球囊可扩张的材料。
所述瓣膜假体具有压握状态和膨胀状态两种形态,即支架主体110和锚固结构210均具有这两种状态,本发明中如无特殊强调,均为膨胀状态下的特征描述。
其中,参见图1,所述支架主体110包括流入段111、流出段113及位于两者之间的过渡段112,所述流出段113根据血流的方向位于流入道的下游。 可选地,所述支架主体110还包括挂耳(图中未示出),所述挂耳与流出段113远离过段112的端部相连,挂耳用于与输送系统相连,保证瓣膜装载进入输送系统、瓣膜释放脱离输送系统及瓣膜在输送系统中在体内运输时瓣膜假体与输送系统的相对位置不变。
支架主体110的截面形状可以为圆形、椭圆形、D形、花形或其他不规则形状。支架主体110可以采用如镍钛诺、钛合金、钴铬合金、MP35n、316不锈钢、L605、Phynox/Elgiloy、铂铬等金属制成,或如本领域技术人员已知的其它生物相容性金属。可选地,支架主体110还可以由可弹性或可塑性变形的材料制成,如球囊可扩张的,或者可以是响应温度变化以在收缩的递送状态和扩张的展开状态之间转变的形状记忆合金。优选地,支架主体110采用镍钛合金管材切割制造,管材外径为5~15mm,根据实际需要选取定型后的直径尺寸。
所述支架主体110具有显著的径向与轴向刚度,可承受瓣叶的牵拉。所述支架主体110由网状结构单元或波浪形结构单元等轴向形态可进行变化的结构单元组成,这些结构单元在周向上彼此相互连接,其轴向上由至少一排所述的结构单元组成,且轴向上多排单元间可彼此直接连接或间接连接。支架主体110优选网状结构,网格单元为三角形、菱形、五边形、水滴形等可形成封闭形状的网格单元,优选菱形结构。
支架主体110的内表面或外表面或双面覆盖裙边,实现密封功能,保证血液的单一通道为自假体瓣叶的流入段端流向假体瓣叶的流出段端。所述的裙边,采用心包(猪心包、牛心包、羊心包等)或其他生物相容的高分子材料(例如PET(聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯)、PTFE(聚四氟乙烯)等)制造而成。
瓣膜假体包括至少两片人工瓣叶,人工瓣叶的数量与原生瓣叶相同或不同,采用动物心包或其他生物相容的高分子材料制备而成,瓣叶的一端与支架主体110直接或间接稳定连接,瓣叶的另一端为自由端。在工作状态下,由人工瓣叶替代原生瓣叶实现开启和关闭血液通道的功能。
如上所述的瓣膜假体通过输送系统植入心脏内,瓣膜假体压握后装载进入输送装置如鞘管内,植入目标位置后释放,释放后的瓣膜假体膨胀并且锚 固在目标位置处。

实施例1
本实施例提供一种三尖瓣瓣膜假体,所述瓣膜假体包括支架主体110,支架主体110植入在三尖瓣瓣环处,用于支撑人工瓣叶;还包括锚固结构210,设于支架主体110的上方,用于将支架主体110锚固在原生瓣环处,防止其发生移位;其中,锚固结构210构造成部分附接至房间隔的卵圆窝,通过附接卵圆窝以形成固位力,从而实现对所述瓣膜假体的锚固作用。
本实施例在卵圆窝原生结构的启示下,提出一种新的锚固结构,锚固结 构210以部分嵌入卵圆窝内并贴合卵圆窝的方式设置,利用卵圆窝的凹陷结构产生的固位力,防止瓣膜假体在心脏压缩过程中发生移位。
参见图1-图2,图1为本实施例中瓣膜假体的正视结构示意图,图2为本实施例中瓣膜假体的侧视结构示意图。
其中,锚固结构210包括第一锚固件211,第一锚固件211构造为具有至少一个凸出部2111,凸出部2111嵌入至卵圆窝内以起到锚固作用。本实施例中,第一锚固件211构造为具有两个凸出部2111,凸出部2111为弧形的杆状结构,沿卵圆窝的短轴方向延伸,且两个凸出部2111为左右并列结构。植入时,凸出部2111分别嵌入卵圆窝内,两个凸出部2111沿卵圆窝的长轴方向排布,相较于单个凸出部2111,可以提供更加稳定的锚固力。当然,在其他替换实施例中,凸出部2111还可以选择两个以上进行配置,可以根据实际需求进行设置。
锚固结构210还包括连接部,连接部将锚固结构210固定在支架主体110上方。连接部可以与锚固结构210的其他部分(如本实施例的凸出部2111)一体成型,再通过焊接或缝合的方式固定至支架主体110上,或连接部也可以采用拉绳,通过缝合、打结的方式连接锚固结构210的其他部分及支架主体110。
本实施例中,第一锚固件211由一杆状件弯折而成,第一锚固件211在中间处弯折形成一对称的结构,在远离支架主体110的预定位置处向外凸出,分别在左右两个杆状结构上形成两个上述的凸出部2111;在靠近支架主体110的一端形成第一连接段2112,两个第一连接段2112分别位于凸出部2111的下边缘,第一连接段2112即为本实施例中锚固结构210的连接部。植入时,第一连接段2112与凸出部2111的交界处贴合卵圆窝的下边缘。本实施例中第一锚固件211一体成型的方式,具有结构简单、容易实现的优点,并且成型后的第一锚固件211整体为光滑圆润的结构,不会对原生组织造成损伤。同时,相较于单个的第一连接段2112,凸出部2111分别通过第一连接段2112连接至支架主体110,可以提高第一锚固件211结构的稳定性,防止扭转变形。当然,在其他实施方式中,第一连接段2112、凸出部2111可以分别制造,再 连接而成。
其中,自凸出部2111至支架主体110的方向,第一连接段2112逐渐朝向支架主体110的方向延伸。第一连接段2112位于第一锚固件211的下边缘,由于冠状窦口与三尖瓣口之间的距离很短,且冠状窦口不能被遮挡,因此第一锚固件211的下端即冠状窦口处应设置为远离心房壁,以留出足够的空间,防止遮挡冠状窦口。
本实施例中,凸出部2111以能够嵌入卵圆窝内并贴合卵圆窝短轴的方式进行设置,以提供有效的锚固力。凸出部2111的最大深度d1为2~4mm,高度h2为6~10mm,其中,最大深度或高度太大则抵触力太大,有破坏卵圆窝原生结构的风险,最大深度或高度太小,则不能够很好的嵌入卵圆窝,难以提供稳定的锚固力。此处,“深度”指的是凸出部2111的外表面的切线至凸出部2111下边缘的垂直距离,“高度”指的是沿支架主体110轴向方向的尺寸。
两个凸出部2111的下边缘之间的距离w1为5~15mm,凸出部2111之间设置合适的距离嵌入在卵圆窝内,可以提供稳定的锚固力。第一连接段2112上边缘与第一连接段2112的下边缘之间的深度(即垂直距离)d2为2~9mm,第一连接段2112的高度h1为11-13mm,第一连接段2112将凸出部2111抵顶在卵圆窝内,以产生上述的锚固力。两个第一连接段2112大致按梯形的两侧边分布,使第一锚固件211的结构更加稳固,两个第一连接段2112的下边缘的宽度与支架主体110的节点有关。
在一些实施例中,第一锚固件211还包括伸出部213,伸出部213包括刺入心房壁的锚定针。本实施例中,第一锚固件211在成型时即构造出所述的伸出部213,伸出部213位于第一锚固件211的自由端,在植入时,伸出部213伸出卵圆窝上边缘,通过锚定针刺入心房壁来加强瓣膜假体的锚固。另一方面,凸出部2111的上方以及下方同时受力,进一步将凸出部2111稳定在卵圆窝内。在其他实施例中,伸出部213还可以为用于抓取组织的倒钩,同样可以起到进一步的锚固作用。
进一步的,锚固结构210的表面还设有覆膜层或裙边。在一些实施例中,凸出部2111表面设有覆膜层,覆膜层由高分子材料制成,可选择以覆膜、编 织布缝合等形式设置,具体的高分子材料可选PET、PTFE或ePTFE、PU等生物相容性好且容易内皮化的材料,既可以保护原生组织不被支架框架刮伤,又可以增大内皮化的面积,为锚固提供辅助。在一些实施例中,第一连接段2112表面局部包覆裙边或不包覆裙边,裸露至少部分大网格,同时配合支架主体110的大网格设计或缺口设计,可以避免挤压、接触Koch三角,同时避免遮挡下腔静脉口和冠状窦口。在一些实施例中,伸出部213包覆裙边,裙边为锚定针,同时可以保护原生组织不被支架框架刮伤。
在一可选实施例中,锚固结构210上还设置有固定耳,固定耳设置在伸出部213上。固定耳用于与输送系统相连,保证瓣膜装载进入输送系统、瓣膜释放脱离输送系统及瓣膜在输送系统中在体内运输时瓣膜假体与输送系统的相对位置不变。
本实施例中,上述的杆状件可以具有一定的宽度,杆状件的宽度决定与原生组织的接触面积,即,可以通过调整杆状件的宽度以提供不同的锚固力度。
本实施例中瓣膜假体整体放置的位置和作用:
本实施例支架主体110流入段放置在原生瓣环处,流出段少量的Oversize可以撑开原生瓣叶防止其自由运动影响假体瓣膜,第一连接段2112贴于右心房壁,或悬吊在右心房内,凸出部2111嵌入卵圆窝内,第一连接段2112与凸出部2111的交界处贴合卵圆窝的下边缘,伸出部213放置在卵圆窝上缘,利用卵圆窝的凹陷防止假体瓣膜植入后发生移位。
在右心房的冠状窦口前内缘、三尖瓣隔瓣附着缘和Todaro腱之间的三角区,称Koch三角,在此三角区过分刺激,会导致心率失常。本实施例的锚固结构210主要受力部分在卵圆窝附近,规避挤压Koch三角与传导组织。
实施例2
本实施例提供一种三尖瓣瓣膜假体,是在实施例1的基础上进行的改进,其中,锚固结构210还包括第二锚固件212,参见图3-图6,第二锚固件212通过径向作用力固定至心房壁,从而为瓣膜假体提供增强的锚固作用。
参见图3、图4,本实施例中,第一锚固件211为杆状结构,沿轴向方向配置有一个凸出部2111。第二锚固件212配置在凸出部2111的上边缘处,并且第二锚固件212构造为具有一外凸部2121,植入时,外凸部2121从凸出部2111的上边缘嵌入至卵圆窝,提供增强的锚固作用,同时受力点在卵圆窝的上边缘处可以防止损伤卵圆窝的原生结构。
具体的,第二锚固件212为圆形或部分圆弧形的杆状结构,第二锚固件212以与第一锚固件211延伸方向大致呈直角的方式设置,即第二锚固件212大致与支架主体110的上端面平行,使第二锚固件212受力部分在卵圆窝附近,避免挤压Koch三角及传导组织。其中,第二锚固件212弦长w2为48~55mm,通过整体Oversize的方式贴合心房壁增加锚固强度,外凸部2121为弧形,弦长w3为9~12mm,植入时,外凸部2121贴合卵圆窝的上边缘。此处“弦长”指的是弧形最远的两个端点之间的距离。
参见图5,第二锚固件212构造为部分圆弧形,锚固结构210的连接部还包括设置在第二锚固件212的两个端部的第二连接段2122,第二连接段2122将第二锚固件212固定在支架主体110上。第二连接段2122的高度h7为20~24mm,与支架主体110连接处宽度与支架主体110节点有关。第二连接段2122通过缝合、焊接等形式与第二锚固件212相连,第二连接段2122分为上、中、下三个部分,上部贴合心房壁,高度h6的范围在3~6mm;中部是过渡部分,为第二连接段2122上部能贴合心房壁提供保证,高度h5在9~13mm;下部与支架主体110相连,第二连接段2122的下部朝向支架主体110的方向延伸,即下部在近支架主体110处内收,避免遮挡右心房底部区域的冠状窦口和下腔静脉口。当然,在其他实施例中,第二连接段2122的数量可以为一个、两个或多个,综合锚固需求和压握难度进行设计。优选的,锚固结构210为对称结构,第二连接段2122对称分布在第一锚固件211两侧,或第二连接段2122沿支架主体110周向均匀分布,第二连接段2122的数量以及连接的位置应根据锚固需求和压握难度进行设置。
本实施例中,第二锚固件212成型为部分圆弧形杆状结构,在其他替换实施例中,第二锚固件212可以设置有多个,多个第二锚固件212之间相互 连接成型为一立体结构,通过立体结构的径向作用力,能够提供更稳定的锚固力。
本实施例中,第二锚固件212配置在凸出部2111上边缘,为了防止第一锚固件211与第二锚固件212的连接处对较为薄软的卵圆窝造成损伤,在凸出部2111上边缘的预定位置处,第二锚固件212与第一锚固件211进一步连接,如焊接、缝合、覆膜等方式。卵圆窝上缘心房壁较厚,可以承受更大的挤压,同时还可以起到进一步稳定锚固结构210的作用。
本实施例中,第二连接段2122的上部即为一伸出部213,可以设置有锚定针,通过锚定针刺入心房壁来加强瓣膜假体的锚固。
参见图6,本实施例的第二锚固件212利用Oversize及原生解剖结构定位在卵圆窝位置,植入时,第二连接段2122上部与心房壁贴合,外凸部2121嵌入卵圆窝内,提供加强的锚固作用,锚固牢靠。
