Abstract

The present application relates to a bi-leaflet valve prosthesis having valve flaps (3), comprising a valve frame (1), a valve skirt (2), two valve leaflets (3), and two valve flaps (3). The two valve leaflets (2) are arranged inside the valve frame (1) and are connected to the valve skirt. The two valve flaps (3) are arranged inside the valve frame (1), and the valve flaps (3) project from the inner wall of the valve frame toward the inside of the valve frame. When the present valve prosthesis is in the closed state, apposition between the two valve leaflets (2) and apposition respectively between the two valve leaflets (2) and the two valve flaps (3) block a passage of the valve prosthesis, so as to effectively seal the passage. In the open state, the two valve leaflets (2) are separated from each other in a direction toward the valve frame (1), so as to enable the passage to be sufficiently opened. During the periodic opening and closing of the valve, the valve flaps (3) do not participate in the opening and closing actions as the valve leaflets (2) do. The matching design of the valve leaflets (2) and the valve flaps (3) allows for the length of the free edge of valve leaflets (2) required for the open and close states to be consistent, such that the valve leaflets (2) may be fully stretched when being opened and closed, and meanwhile, good opening and closing effects may be achieved when the valve is largely deformed.

Description

带瓣耳的二叶瓣瓣膜假体Bicuspid valve prosthesis with flap ears 技术领域technical field
本申请涉及医疗器械技术领域,尤其涉及一种带瓣耳的二叶瓣瓣膜假体。The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular, to a bicuspid valve prosthesis with valve ears.
背景技术Background technique
在心脏的收缩和舒张期,心脏瓣膜的瓣口会呈现非圆形态,其长径和短径比率会在一定范围发生变化。二尖瓣瓣环的形态呈天然非圆状态,在收缩期长短径比率进一步加大。传统的三叶瓣瓣膜假体在非圆形的瓣口,在一定的长短径比率范围变动时,其瓣叶在瓣膜关闭时仍能维持一定的对合,不产生返流。但在比率变化较大时,瓣叶因瓣架的过度变形而导致瓣叶对合失常,从而产生返流。During the systolic and diastolic phases of the heart, the orifice of the heart valve will present a non-circular shape, and the ratio of its major diameter to its minor diameter will change within a certain range. The shape of the mitral valve annulus is naturally non-circular, and the ratio of long and short diameters further increases during systole. When the traditional tri-leaflet valve prosthesis has a non-circular orifice, when the ratio of length to diameter varies within a certain range, the leaflets of the valve can still maintain a certain coaptation when the valve is closed, and no regurgitation occurs. However, when the ratio changes greatly, the valve leaflet will become abnormal due to excessive deformation of the valve frame, resulting in regurgitation.
特别是对于介入二尖瓣瓣膜,由于瓣架的弹性较大而刚性较低,瓣架的长短径比变化也很大,三叶瓣膜无法适应这种变化而引起严重返流。Especially for the interventional mitral valve, due to the large elasticity and low rigidity of the valve frame, the length-to-diameter ratio of the valve frame changes greatly, and the tricuspid valve cannot adapt to this change and causes severe regurgitation.

通过瓣叶与瓣耳的配合设计,在瓣膜发生较大变形的情况下,还可实现很好的打开和关闭效果。Through the cooperative design of the valve leaflet and the valve ear, in the case of a large deformation of the valve, a good opening and closing effect can also be achieved.

如图1至图4所示,本申请实施例提供了一种带瓣耳的二叶瓣瓣膜假体,其包括瓣架1、瓣裙、两片瓣叶2和两只瓣耳3;其中,瓣裙固定设置在瓣架1的内部,具体可以固定覆盖在瓣架1的内壁上,两片瓣叶2设置在瓣架1内,并与瓣裙相连;两只瓣耳3设置在瓣架1内,且瓣耳3由瓣架1的内壁向瓣架1的内部凸出;其中,该带瓣耳的二叶瓣瓣膜假体具有打开状态和闭合状态,在闭合状态,两片瓣叶2之间以及两片瓣叶2分别与两只瓣耳3之间对合后封堵二叶瓣瓣膜假体的通路,在打开状态,两片瓣叶2能够向靠近瓣架1的方向相互分离,以打开通路。As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 , the embodiments of the present application provide a bi-leaflet valve prosthesis with valve ears, which includes a valve frame 1, a valve skirt, two valve leaflets 2 and two valve ears 3; wherein , the valve skirt is fixedly arranged in the interior of the valve frame 1, and specifically can be fixed and covered on the inner wall of the valve frame 1, two valve leaflets 2 are arranged in the valve frame 1, and are connected with the valve skirt; two valve ears 3 are arranged on the valve frame 1 In the frame 1, and the valve ear 3 protrudes from the inner wall of the valve frame 1 to the interior of the valve frame 1; wherein, the bicuspid valve prosthesis with the valve ear has an open state and a closed state, and in the closed state, the two flaps Between the leaflets 2 and between the two leaflets 2 and the two valve ears 3 respectively, the passage of the bi-leaflet valve prosthesis is blocked, and in the open state, the two leaflets 2 can move toward the direction close to the valve frame 1 separated from each other to open access.
其中,瓣架1具有进口11和出口12,血液正向流动时,能够从进口11进入,并在血流的作用下,使得瓣叶2打开,即进口11与出口12之间的通路打开,血液能够从出口12排出,此时,该瓣膜假体处于打开状态;血液反向流动时,瓣叶2与瓣耳3配合以将该瓣膜假体关闭,即进口11与出口12之间的通路关闭,阻止血液通过瓣叶2,此时,瓣膜假体处于关闭状态。Among them, the valve holder 1 has an inlet 11 and an outlet 12. When the blood is flowing forward, it can enter from the inlet 11, and under the action of the blood flow, the valve leaflet 2 is opened, that is, the passage between the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 is opened, The blood can be discharged from the outlet 12, at this time, the valve prosthesis is in an open state; when the blood flows in the reverse direction, the valve leaflet 2 cooperates with the valve ear 3 to close the valve prosthesis, that is, the passage between the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 Closing, preventing blood from passing through the valve leaflets 2, at this time, the valve prosthesis is in a closed state.
其中,瓣叶2为柔性材质,瓣叶2上远离与瓣裙相连的一端边缘形成自由边,自由边受到血液的推动后可以封闭或打开该瓣膜假体的通路。如图2所示,在该瓣膜假体处于打开状态下,瓣叶2展开后可以靠近瓣架1的侧壁,使两片瓣叶2相互远离后将该瓣膜假体的通路打开;如图3所示,在该瓣膜假体处于关闭状态下,两片瓣叶2在两只瓣耳3之间的位置处对合后可以将该瓣膜假体的通路关闭。其中,两只瓣耳3可以对称设置在瓣膜假体的长径的两端,瓣叶2可以与瓣裙上位于瓣耳3两侧的位置处相连,在闭合状态,瓣叶2可以与瓣耳3对合,可以使瓣叶2在闭合状态下完全舒展开,使打开和闭合状态下所需瓣叶2的自由边的长度相一致,从而有效提升了对瓣膜假体的封闭效果,避免了血液回流的问题。The valve leaflet 2 is made of flexible material, and the edge of one end of the valve leaflet 2 away from the valve skirt forms a free edge, and the free edge can close or open the passage of the valve prosthesis after being pushed by the blood. As shown in Figure 2, when the valve prosthesis is in the open state, the valve leaflet 2 can be close to the side wall of the valve frame 1 after deployment, and the passage of the valve prosthesis is opened after the two valve leaflets 2 are separated from each other; As shown in Fig. 3, when the valve prosthesis is in a closed state, the passage of the valve prosthesis can be closed after the two valve leaflets 2 are abutted at the position between the two valve ears 3. Wherein, the two valve ears 3 can be symmetrically arranged at both ends of the long diameter of the valve prosthesis, the valve leaflets 2 can be connected with the valve skirt at the positions on both sides of the valve ears 3, and in the closed state, the valve leaflets 2 can be connected with the valve The abutment of the ears 3 can make the valve leaflet 2 fully expand in the closed state, so that the length of the free side of the valve leaflet 2 in the open and closed states is consistent, thereby effectively improving the sealing effect of the valve prosthesis, avoiding the need for the problem of blood return.
其中,需要强调的是,通过设置瓣耳3,可以使瓣叶2缝制在瓣裙上位于瓣耳3两侧的位置处,而无需使瓣叶2缝制在瓣裙上与长径对齐的位置处,从而减小了瓣叶2的长度,使瓣叶2在打开或闭合状态均能够完全展开,保证了两片瓣叶2之间以及瓣叶2与瓣耳3之间的有效对合,提升了通路的闭合效果。Among them, it should be emphasized that, by setting the valve ear 3, the valve leaflet 2 can be sewn on the valve skirt at the positions on both sides of the valve ear 3, without making the valve leaflet 2 sewn on the valve skirt and aligned with the long diameter Therefore, the length of the valve leaflet 2 is reduced, so that the valve leaflet 2 can be fully unfolded in the open or closed state, and the effective alignment between the two valve leaflets 2 and between the valve leaflet 2 and the valve ear 3 is ensured. It can improve the closing effect of the passage.
此外,需要说明的是,传统的三叶瓣膜在非圆形的瓣口,在一定的长短径比率范围变动时,其瓣叶在瓣膜关闭时仍能维持一定的对合,不产生返流。但在比率变化较大时,瓣叶因瓣架的过度变形而导致瓣叶对合失常,从而产生返流。特别是对于介入瓣膜,由于瓣架的弹性较大而刚性较低,瓣架的长短径比变化也很大,三叶瓣无法适应这种变化而引起严重返流。In addition, it should be noted that when the traditional tri-leaflet valve has a non-circular orifice, when the ratio of length to diameter varies within a certain range, the leaflets of the valve can still maintain a certain coaptation when the valve is closed, and no regurgitation occurs. However, when the ratio changes greatly, the valve leaflet will become abnormal due to excessive deformation of the valve frame, resulting in regurgitation. Especially for interventional valves, due to the large elasticity and low rigidity of the valve frame, the length-to-diameter ratio of the valve frame also changes greatly, and the tri-leaflet valve cannot adapt to this change, causing severe regurgitation.
为了解决该技术问题,现有技术中的一种方式是可以通过提高支架的硬度来抵抗变形,但是,三叶瓣瓣膜假体这样可能会挤压主动脉瓣膜,使主动脉异常。In order to solve this technical problem, one way in the prior art is to increase the stiffness of the stent to resist deformation. However, the tricuspid valve prosthesis may squeeze the aortic valve and make the aorta abnormal.
另一种方式是通过设置双层支架来解决三叶瓣瓣膜假体变形导致返流问题。其结构是:截面为圆形的内层支架与外层支架连接,并将三片瓣叶固定到内层支架,同时,外层支架的直径大于内层支架的直径,使得外层支架能够随心脏的收缩和舒张而变形,且变形过程中外层支架的变形不会影响内层支架,从而使得内层支架的截面始终为圆形,保证三叶瓣瓣膜假体具有良好的关闭性能。但是,该结构中,由于内外层支架之间需要具有足够的直径差,导致三叶瓣瓣膜假体在装入输送系统中时会造成输送系统的体积变大,进而导致将该三叶瓣瓣膜假体植入人体时的植入难度和风险均较大。Another way is to solve the problem of regurgitation caused by the deformation of the tri-leaflet valve prosthesis by setting a double-layer stent. Its structure is: the inner stent with a circular cross-section is connected with the outer stent, and three leaflets are fixed to the inner stent. At the same time, the diameter of the outer stent is larger than that of the inner stent, so that the outer stent can follow the The heart is deformed by contraction and relaxation, and the deformation of the outer stent will not affect the inner stent during the deformation process, so that the cross section of the inner stent is always circular, ensuring that the trileaflet valve prosthesis has good closing performance. However, in this structure, due to the need to have a sufficient diameter difference between the inner and outer layers of the stent, when the trileaflet valve prosthesis is loaded into the delivery system, the volume of the delivery system will increase, which will lead to the increase of the volume of the trileaflet valve valve. Implantation of prostheses is difficult and risky when implanted into the human body.
为此,本申请提供的带瓣耳的二叶瓣瓣膜假体,通过设置两片瓣叶2及两只瓣耳3,使得瓣架1在心脏收缩和舒张过程中,并通过血液在流动中的推动作用能够推动两片瓣叶2相互对合以及瓣叶2与瓣耳3相互对合,以封闭该瓣膜假体的通路,或者带动两片瓣叶2相互分离以及瓣叶2与瓣耳3相互分离以打开通路。其中,当瓣膜假体处于关闭状态时,通过血液的推动力作用能够使得两片瓣叶2之间以及瓣叶2与瓣耳3之间始终维持关闭状态,从而提高了该瓣膜假体的关闭性能,防止血液泄漏;也就是说,本申请中的两片瓣叶2及瓣耳3,可以在瓣架1具有任何程度的变形状态下,均能够实现有效的闭合,防止血液回流。此外,与现有技术中设置双层支架的结构相比,本实施例中单层的瓣架1便于植入人体,同时能够增大瓣膜假体的有效开口面积。For this reason, the bicuspid valve prosthesis with valve ears provided by the present application, by setting two valve leaflets 2 and two valve ears 3, makes the valve frame 1 in the process of systole and diastole of the heart, and through the flow of blood The pushing action can push the two valve leaflets 2 to match each other and the valve leaflets 2 and the valve ear 3 to match each other, so as to close the passage of the valve prosthesis, or drive the two valve leaflets 2 to separate from each other and the valve leaflets 2 and the valve ear 3 are separated from each other to open access. Wherein, when the valve prosthesis is in the closed state, the pushing force of blood can maintain the closed state between the two valve leaflets 2 and between the valve leaflets 2 and the valve ear 3, thereby improving the closure of the valve prosthesis performance, preventing blood leakage; that is, the two valve leaflets 2 and valve ears 3 in this application can achieve effective closure under any degree of deformation of the valve holder 1 to prevent blood backflow. In addition, compared with the structure in which the double-layer stent is provided in the prior art, the single-layer valve stent 1 in this embodiment is convenient for implantation into the human body, and at the same time, the effective opening area of the valve prosthesis can be increased.
在一种具体的实现方式中,如图2和图4所示,瓣耳3的两侧边缘在与瓣架1上位于两片瓣叶2的对合界面两侧的位置连接后,瓣耳3在远离瓣架1的一端形成有弯折部32。In a specific implementation, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 , after the edges on both sides of the flap ear 3 are connected to the positions on the flap frame 1 on both sides of the abutment interface of the two flap leaflets 2, the flap ear 3. A bent portion 32 is formed at one end away from the valve holder 1.
其中,如图4所示,该弯折部32可以为瓣耳3上形成的棱边,瓣耳3为柔性结构,瓣耳3在弯折部32位置处弯折一定的角度后,瓣耳3的两边可以与瓣裙固定相连,从而使两瓣耳3由瓣裙的一侧向远离瓣裙的弯折部32处收拢。其中,瓣耳3在瓣架1上占有一定的连接长度,而瓣耳3上远离瓣架1的一端的弯折部32可以形成在该瓣膜假体的长径上,当瓣叶2缝制在瓣裙上位于瓣耳3两侧的位置处时,瓣叶2在闭合状态下可以完全展开而与瓣耳3对合。Wherein, as shown in FIG. 4 , the bending portion 32 can be an edge formed on the flap ear 3, the flap ear 3 is a flexible structure, and after the flap ear 3 is bent at a certain angle at the position of the bending portion 32, the flap ear 3 Both sides of 3 can be fixedly connected with the flap skirt, so that the two flap ears 3 are gathered from one side of the flap skirt to the bending portion 32 away from the flap skirt. Wherein, the valve ear 3 occupies a certain connection length on the valve holder 1, and the bent portion 32 at the end of the valve ear 3 away from the valve holder 1 can be formed on the long diameter of the valve prosthesis. When the valve leaflet 2 is sewn When the valve skirt is located at the positions on both sides of the valve ear 3, the valve leaflet 2 can be fully expanded to match with the valve ear 3 in the closed state.
在一种具体的实现方式中,上述瓣架1可以为形状记忆合金材质,或者还可以为其他弹性材质。该材质的瓣架1能够变形,在将瓣膜假体植入人体的过程中,能够变形,从而能够便于通过输入装置将瓣膜假体植入人体,进入人体后,该材质的瓣架1能够恢复变形,且具有一定的刚性,从而能够用于支撑瓣叶2。In a specific implementation manner, the above-mentioned valve holder 1 may be made of a shape memory alloy material, or may also be made of other elastic materials. The valve holder 1 made of this material can be deformed, and can be deformed during the process of implanting the valve prosthesis into the human body, so that the valve prosthesis can be easily implanted into the human body through the input device. After entering the human body, the valve holder 1 of this material can be restored It is deformed and has a certain rigidity, so that it can be used to support the leaflet 2 .
同时,由于瓣叶2和瓣耳3均为柔性材质,受血液流动中的推动作用,瓣耳3可以受到血液的推动力靠向瓣叶2,同时瓣叶2可以受到血液的推动力靠向瓣耳3,从而可以使瓣叶2与瓣耳3相互对合,实现对通路的封闭。其中,需要说明的是,在该瓣膜假体周期性的开闭过程中,瓣耳3基本保持同一姿态,不参与像瓣叶2一样的开闭动作。At the same time, since the valve leaflet 2 and the valve ear 3 are both flexible materials, the valve ear 3 can be pushed towards the valve leaflet 2 by the pushing force of the blood, and the valve leaflet 2 can be pushed towards the valve leaflet 2 by the pushing force of the blood. The valve ear 3 can make the valve leaflet 2 and the valve ear 3 butt against each other, so as to realize the sealing of the passage. Among them, it should be noted that during the periodical opening and closing process of the valve prosthesis, the valve ear 3 basically maintains the same posture, and does not participate in the same opening and closing action as the valve leaflet 2 .
作为一种具体的实现方式,在打开状态,瓣耳3在瓣架1周向上占有的长度与瓣叶2在瓣架1周向上配合的长度之间的比值范围为0.1~0.6。As a specific implementation, in the open state, the ratio between the length occupied by the valve ear 3 in the circumferential direction of the valve holder 1 and the length of the valve leaflet 2 in the circumferential direction of the valve holder 1 is in the range of 0.1-0.6.
其中,瓣耳3在瓣架1周向上占有的长度为瓣耳3与瓣架1之间的连接长度,瓣叶2在瓣架1周向上配合的长度是指在瓣膜假体打开状态下,瓣叶2完全展开后与瓣架1靠近时的截面长度。Among them, the length occupied by the valve ear 3 in the circumferential direction of the valve holder 1 is the connection length between the valve ear 3 and the valve holder 1, and the length of the valve leaflet 2 in the circumferential direction of the valve holder 1 refers to the open state of the valve prosthesis, The cross-sectional length of the valve leaflet 2 when it is close to the valve frame 1 after it is fully deployed.
在该比值范围内,可以保证瓣叶2在闭合或打开状态下均能够完全展开,同时在闭合状态下能够保证对该瓣膜假体的通路的有效闭合,避免血液反流。本实施例中,瓣耳3在瓣架1周向上占有的长度与瓣叶2在瓣架1周向上配合的长度之间具体的比值可以为0.2、0.3、0.4或0.5。Within this ratio range, it can be ensured that the valve leaflet 2 can be fully deployed in the closed or open state, and at the same time, the passage of the valve prosthesis can be effectively closed in the closed state to avoid blood reflux. In this embodiment, the specific ratio between the length occupied by the valve ear 3 in the circumferential direction of the valve holder 1 and the length of the valve leaflet 2 in the circumferential direction of the valve holder 1 may be 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5.
在一种具体的实现方式中,如图3所示,在闭合状态,两片瓣叶2分别和两只瓣耳3之间保持有空隙31。该空隙31可以吸收两片瓣叶2相互挤压后沿瓣膜假体的长径方向发生的变形,从而可以保证该瓣膜假体通路的有效闭合。In a specific implementation manner, as shown in FIG. 3 , in the closed state, a gap 31 is maintained between the two flaps 2 and the two flap ears 3 respectively. The gap 31 can absorb the deformation along the long diameter direction of the valve prosthesis after the two valve leaflets 2 are pressed against each other, so as to ensure the effective closure of the valve prosthesis passage.
在一种具体的实现方式中,由于人体自身的二尖瓣为非圆形结构,为了能够使该瓣膜假体更适用于人体,瓣架1的横截面可以为非圆形结构,且具有长径和短径,长径与短径的比例为1.05-1.50。In a specific implementation manner, since the mitral valve of the human body is a non-circular structure, in order to make the valve prosthesis more suitable for the human body, the cross section of the valve holder 1 can be a non-circular structure, and has a long The ratio of the major diameter to the minor diameter is 1.05-1.50.
其中,该长径与短径的比例具体可以为1.1、1.2、1.3、1.4等。当然,瓣架1的长径与短径之比可以根据具体工况选择,只要能够使得该瓣架1的长径和短径在该比例范围内能够保持良好的封闭即可。因此,在该比例范围内时,可在很大的长短径比率变化范围维持瓣叶2的良好对合,增加该瓣膜假体对使用环境的容错能力,更好地适应各种长短径比率的瓣架1,减少该瓣膜假体的中心返流。Wherein, the ratio of the long diameter to the short diameter may specifically be 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and the like. Of course, the ratio of the long diameter to the short diameter of the valve holder 1 can be selected according to specific working conditions, as long as the long diameter and the short diameter of the valve holder 1 can be kept well sealed within this ratio range. Therefore, within this ratio range, the valve leaflet 2 can be maintained in a wide range of changes in the ratio of long and short diameters, which increases the fault tolerance of the valve prosthesis for the use environment, and better adapts to various long and short diameter ratios. Valve holder 1, reducing the central regurgitation of this valve prosthesis.
作为一种具体的实现方式,瓣架1的横截面可以为D形或椭圆形结构;瓣架1的横截面具有长径和短径,两片瓣叶2分别设置在长径的两侧,两只瓣耳3分别设置在长径的两端。As a specific implementation, the cross section of the valve holder 1 can be a D-shaped or elliptical structure; the cross section of the valve holder 1 has a long diameter and a short diameter, and the two valve leaflets 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the long diameter, The two flap ears 3 are respectively arranged at both ends of the long diameter.
其中,每只瓣耳3的一端均与瓣裙相连,每只瓣耳3的另一端的弯折部32均可以形成在长径所在直线上,且瓣耳3上的位于弯折部32两侧的与瓣叶2对合的部位可以分别位于长径的两侧,当两片瓣叶2的中间部位在两只瓣耳3之间区域对合时,两片瓣叶2的两端部位可以分别与两只瓣耳3对合,从而将通路封闭。Wherein, one end of each flap ear 3 is connected with the flap skirt, the bending portion 32 of the other end of each flap ear 3 can be formed on the straight line where the long diameter is located, and the flap ear 3 is located at two sides of the bending portion 32. The side parts that match with the leaflets 2 can be located on both sides of the long diameter respectively. When the middle parts of the two leaflets 2 are in the area between the two leaflets 3, the two ends of the two leaflets 2 are aligned. It can be matched with the two flap ears 3 respectively, so as to close the passage.
在一种实施例中,该瓣膜假体设置在人体二尖瓣处,该瓣膜假体与人体的主动脉瓣膜的打开和关闭交替进行,即主动脉瓣膜打开时,该瓣膜假体关闭,本实施例中,该瓣架1的截面积为D形或椭圆形,,使得具有D形或椭圆形的该瓣膜假体能够最大限度地避免该瓣膜假体变形时阻挡主动脉瓣。In one embodiment, the valve prosthesis is arranged at the mitral valve of the human body, and the valve prosthesis and the human aortic valve are opened and closed alternately, that is, when the aortic valve is opened, the valve prosthesis is closed, and the present In the embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the valve holder 1 is D-shape or ellipse, so that the valve prosthesis with D-shape or ellipse can avoid blocking the aortic valve when the valve prosthesis is deformed to the greatest extent.
同时,当该瓣架1的横截面为D形或椭圆形时,由于椭圆形或D形结构长径方向抗变形能力较强,提高了瓣膜假体植入稳定性。另外,椭圆形或D形瓣架1结构可使该瓣膜假体更好的发挥作用,使返流更少。需要说明的是,现有技术中的三叶瓣瓣膜假体包括三个瓣叶时,其支架无法设置为非圆形结构,否则会导致三叶瓣瓣膜假体无法关闭。而本实施例中的瓣膜假体在相对的位置处分别设置两片瓣叶2和两只瓣耳3,使得该瓣架1的截面可以为非圆形结构例如椭圆形或D形结构,且该瓣膜假体能够正常关闭。At the same time, when the cross section of the valve holder 1 is D-shaped or elliptical, the stability of the valve prosthesis implantation is improved due to the strong anti-deformation capability of the elliptical or D-shaped structure in the longitudinal direction. In addition, the elliptical or D-shaped stent 1 structure can make the valve prosthesis work better, resulting in less regurgitation. It should be noted that, when the tri-leaflet valve prosthesis in the prior art includes three valve leaflets, the stent cannot be set to a non-circular structure, otherwise the tri-leaflet valve prosthesis cannot be closed. In the valve prosthesis in this embodiment, two valve leaflets 2 and two valve ears 3 are respectively disposed at opposite positions, so that the cross-section of the valve frame 1 can be a non-circular structure such as an oval or D-shaped structure, and The valve prosthesis can close normally.
作为一种具体的实现方式,如图1和图4所示,瓣叶2具有第一自由端21,上述自由边形成在该第一自由端21的边缘,瓣耳3具有第二自由端33,第二自由端33与第一自由端21平齐,或者第二自由端33凸出于第一自由端21。As a specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 , the leaflet 2 has a first free end 21 , the above-mentioned free edge is formed at the edge of the first free end 21 , and the valve ear 3 has a second free end 33 , the second free end 33 is flush with the first free end 21 , or the second free end 33 protrudes from the first free end 21 .
其中,该第一自由端21为瓣叶2上可以通过血液的推动作用而使通路关闭或打开的一端,第二自由端33为瓣耳3上与第一自由端21对合的一端。Wherein, the first free end 21 is the end of the valve leaflet 2 that can close or open the passage by the pushing action of blood, and the second free end 33 is the end of the valve ear 3 that matches the first free end 21 .
在闭合状态,瓣叶2上与瓣耳3对合的部位可以完全贴合到瓣耳3上。其中,使 第二自由端33凸出于第一自由端21,可以避免在对该瓣膜假体生产制造过程中因瓣叶2及瓣耳3的材料特性或制造误差而造成瓣叶2和瓣耳3的配合精度降低,影响对该瓣膜假体通路的封闭效果。In the closed state, the part of the valve leaflet 2 that is coinciding with the valve ear 3 can be completely fitted to the valve ear 3 . Wherein, making the second free end 33 protrude from the first free end 21 can prevent the valve leaflet 2 and the valve valve from being caused by the material characteristics or manufacturing errors of the valve leaflet 2 and the valve ear 3 during the manufacturing process of the valve prosthesis. The fitting precision of the ear 3 is reduced, which affects the sealing effect of the valve prosthesis passage.
作为一种具体的实现方式,当该瓣架1的横截面为D形或椭圆形时,该瓣架1的横截面具有长径和短径,本实施例中,瓣架1上位于出口12处的短径长度与瓣叶2的高度之间的比值小于2.1。其中,瓣叶2的高度是指瓣叶2在瓣架1的轴向上的高度尺寸。As a specific implementation, when the cross section of the valve holder 1 is D-shaped or elliptical, the cross section of the valve holder 1 has a long diameter and a short diameter. In this embodiment, the valve holder 1 is located at the outlet 12 The ratio between the length of the minor axis at 2 and the height of the leaflet 2 is less than 2.1. The height of the valve leaflet 2 refers to the height dimension of the valve leaflet 2 in the axial direction of the valve holder 1 .
本实施例中,瓣叶2的高度的值过小时,该瓣叶2与瓣架1在轴向上的连接长度较短,导致瓣膜假体闭合过程中,该瓣叶2受压时容易泄漏,或者瓣叶2在受压时容易发生翻转,导致该瓣膜假体故障。当减小瓣架1上位于出口12处的短径长度与瓣叶2的高度之间的比值时,使得瓣叶2的受力更好,且在闭合过程中不易漏液,从而进一步提高该瓣膜假体的性能。In this embodiment, if the height of the valve leaflet 2 is too small, the connection length between the valve leaflet 2 and the valve holder 1 in the axial direction is short, which leads to the valve leaflet 2 being easily leaked when it is compressed during the valve prosthesis closing process. , or the valve leaflet 2 is prone to inversion when being compressed, resulting in failure of the valve prosthesis. When the ratio between the length of the short diameter at the outlet 12 on the valve holder 1 and the height of the valve leaflet 2 is reduced, the force of the valve leaflet 2 is better, and the liquid is not easily leaked during the closing process, thereby further improving the The performance of valve prostheses.
其中,该瓣架1的侧壁可以为网格结构或丝架结构例如金属丝框架结构,该网格结构或丝架结构的瓣架1更加容易变形,从而更加便于将该瓣膜假体植入人体。此外,由于瓣裙固定覆盖在瓣架1的内侧,从而可以封堵瓣架1的网格结构或丝架结构,从而防止进入容纳腔内的血液从网格结构泄漏。具体地,该瓣裙具体可以为生物材料或柔性布。Wherein, the side wall of the valve frame 1 can be a grid structure or a wire frame structure such as a wire frame structure, and the valve frame 1 of the grid structure or wire frame structure is more easily deformed, so that it is more convenient to implant the valve prosthesis human body. In addition, since the valve skirt is fixedly covered on the inner side of the valve holder 1, the grid structure or the wire frame structure of the valve holder 1 can be blocked, thereby preventing the blood entering the accommodating cavity from leaking from the grid structure. Specifically, the valve skirt can be a biological material or a flexible cloth.
作为一种具体的实现方式,瓣叶2的厚度可以为0.25mm~0.65mm。具体地,瓣叶2的厚度可以为0.3mm、0.4mm、0.5mm等。当然,该瓣叶2的实际厚度可以根据具体工况设置。As a specific implementation manner, the thickness of the leaflet 2 may be 0.25mm˜0.65mm. Specifically, the thickness of the leaflet 2 may be 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, or the like. Of course, the actual thickness of the leaflet 2 can be set according to specific working conditions.
以上各实施例中,两片瓣叶2和两只瓣耳3在瓣架1内均可以对称布置或者非对称布置,两个瓣叶2可以为大小和形状相同的结构,也可以为大小和形状均不同的结构。该瓣叶2的材质可以包括生物材料或人工柔性材料,例如,该人工柔性材料可以为塑料合成材料或布等材质,生物材料可以为处理后的动物心包等。In the above embodiments, the two valve leaflets 2 and the two valve ears 3 can be arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically in the valve frame 1, and the two valve leaflets 2 can be of the same size and shape, or can be of the same size and shape.
