Background
With the social development trend of aging in China, the incidence of senile valve degenerative disease is continuously increased, wherein the left heart function is gradually reduced due to mitral valve degenerative disease.

The existing method mainly has the following main problems: the anchoring of the mitral valve prosthesis is unreliable after the mitral valve prosthesis is placed, and the sealing is not tight; the mitral valve support expands and deforms to extrude the left ventricular outflow tract, and the original anterior valve blocks partial blood flow, so that the left ventricular outflow tract is obstructed and the like.
Therefore, there is a strong need for a system and method that solves the problems of secure anchoring, reliable sealing, smooth passage, etc. when implanting a mitral valve.

The embodiment of the invention utilizes the cutting knife to cut the original diseased mitral valve of a human body, and can effectively solve the problems that the original mitral valve blocks blood flow after the prosthesis is implanted, so that the outflow tract of the left ventricle is blocked, and the like. In addition, the mitral valve prosthesis bracket can open the sheared original diseased mitral valve of a human bodyJoint cuttingOpening a blood flow path between the dilated mitral valve and the aortic valve.

The annuloplasty system provides preparation for the next step of bio-ring placement and mitral valve cutting. The looping system can comprise a capture magnetic ball, a magnetic ball to be captured, two deformable conveying wires, a deformable conveying wire outer sleeve, a control guide pipe system thereof and the like. The deformable delivery wire is made of a memory metal (e.g., nitinol) that deforms between a low temperature shape and a high temperature shape in response to temperature, i.e., changes shape when blood temperature is sensed within a blood vessel. The catching magnetic ball is positioned at the top of the second deformable wire conveying pipe, the magnetic ball to be caught is positioned at the top of the first deformable wire conveying pipe, and the corresponding deformable wire conveying pipe is wrapped inside the outer sleeve of the deformable wire conveying pipe to play a supporting role.

The embodiment of the invention provides a mitral valve cutting system, aiming at the problems that after a mitral valve prosthesis is implanted, original mitral valve leaflets can be propped by a support, an anterior valve with a large surface area can be wrapped on the support, and a left ventricular outflow tract is obstructed because the anterior valve with the large surface area blocks partial blood flow. The mitral valve cutting system can include a cutting head, connecting tubes, adjusting conduits, etc. (if the cutting medium utilizes a laser, such as a holmium laser, the cutting depth can be 4mm, preventing miscut of other tissues). At the moment, a catheter connected with the cutter head can be placed in the device, the angle range is adjusted, the position is found when the diseased mitral valve is closed and fixed, and the cutter head is utilized to be away from the position of the original diseased mitral valve of the human body, which is far away from the central axis of the valve ringToThe cutting of the anterior valve is performed at a location near the central axis of the mitral annulus. The cut original diseased mitral valve of the human body is expanded due to the expansion after being expanded by the ear-shaped anchoring element in the mitral valve prosthesis bracketJoint cuttingThe mitral valve prosthesis bracket has the advantages that the mitral valve and chordae tendineae which are originally diseased in a human body can not be wrapped on the periphery of the mitral valve prosthesis bracket, so that a blood flow channel created by the mitral valve prosthesis is smoother, the obstruction of a left ventricle outflow tract is inhibited, and the death rate is reduced.
In addition, embodiments of the present invention provide a bio-ring implant system, which may include a bio-ring made of a material having a good biocompatibility, and a diameter of the bio-ring may range from 4 cm to 6cm, wherein the bio-ring is formed by simultaneously extruding two ends of a delivery catheter system, and the two ends may have an internal thread and an external thread, respectively, and the external thread enters the internal thread to lock the bio-ring during the extrusion. After the mitral valve prosthesis stent is placed in the corresponding position, the size of the biological ring can be adjusted to a more proper diameter by the delivery catheter system, so that the mitral valve prosthesis can be more reliably fixed and sealed.
The invention also provides a mitral valve prosthesis bracket, a valve and an implanting method, wherein the shape of the upper part of the bracket can be similar to a lotus shape, and the bracket can be tightly attached to the upper end of the mitral valve in the left atrium when being opened, so as to prevent the impact of blood flow. In order to prevent the lotus layer from extruding the aorta when the stent is released and opened, the front leaflet part of the lotus layer is arranged and is superposed with the front leaflet position of the original mitral valve of a human body. The stent can be provided with a middle concave layer, the diameter range is also 4-6 mm, and the diameter of the middle concave layer is matched with that of the biological ring in the ring placing system. The bio-ring enters this middle concave layer and snaps when the stent is released open. Due to the clamping and fixing effect of the biological ring on the mitral valve prosthesis, the mitral valve prosthesis cannot fall off along with the beating of the heart or the influence of blood flow, or the mitral valve prosthesis cannot extrude the outflow tract of the left ventricle to cause obstruction. In addition, the lower end of the bracket can be slightly wider than the waist groove, when the bracket is opened, the cut original diseased mitral valve of a human body can be spread, and a smooth blood flow channel is formed from the position of the original diseased mitral valve of the human body to the position of the aortic valve. In addition, radiopaque alignment elements are provided to align the mitral valve stent with the native diseased mitral valve anatomy of the human body when the mitral valve stent is implanted. In order to open and fix the slit of the original diseased mitral valve of the human body cut by the cutting system when the mitral valve prosthesis stent is released, a left ear anchoring piece and a right ear anchoring piece are arranged, the angle of the ear anchoring pieces extends outwards in the radial direction, and the ear anchoring pieces point to the upstream left atrium end of the original diseased mitral valve of the human body when the stent is observed from the upper part, and the ear anchoring pieces are provided with a plurality of thorns, so that the original diseased mitral valve of the human body is fixed more stably.
The mitral valve prosthesis stent comprises a mitral valve prosthesis stent and a mitral valve prosthesis implantation method. In both of the above delivery systems, wherein the transseptal delivery method, the lower end of the prosthetic stent may be released first in the left ventricular portion (i.e., the mitral valve prosthetic stent support layer), i.e., fine-tuned to move up, to position the concave layer in the middle of the mitral valve prosthetic stent as far as possible in the root of the native diseased mitral valve of the human body, and then the left atrial prosthetic portion (i.e., the lotus layer on top of the mitral valve prosthetic stent) may be released.

Detailed Description
The rail-type mitral valve prosthesis implanting system and the operating method are used for solving the problems of firm anchoring, reliable sealing, unobstructed outflow channel and the like when the mitral valve prosthesis is implanted. Embodiments disclosed herein relate to four subsystems, according to implementation steps and system functions: mitral annuloplasty devices (fig. 1-2), mitral valve cutting systems (fig. 3), bio-ring insertion systems (fig. 4), mitral valve prostheses (fig. 5), and mitral valve prosthesis delivery insertion methods (fig. 6).
First, the present application discloses a rail-mounted mitral valve implantation system, which includes:
mitral annuloplasty device: as shown in fig. 1, the mitral annuloplasty device includes a capturing magnetomechanical ball 101, a to-be-captured magnetomechanical ball 104, a first deformable delivery wire 103, and a second deformable delivery wire 105. The capture magnetic ball 101 and the magnetic ball 104 to be captured have magnetic forces, and the magnetic forces are opposite poles. The catching magnetic ball 101 is fixedly connected with the end of the second deformable transmission wire 105, the magnetic ball 104 to be caught is positioned at the top end of the first deformable transmission wire 103, and the magnetic ball 104 to be caught depends on magnetic force to catch the magnetic ball 101 and then attract and fix to form a catching buckle joint 101(104) (called a "catching buckle" for short) so as to form a ring-shaped body structure. After the capture buckle connector 101(104) is formed, the capture buckle connector is pulled by the second deformable delivery wire 105 into the outer sheath 106 of the deformable delivery wire and out of the body through the catheter system. The first deformable delivery wire 103 forms a guidable channel in the shape of an annulus surrounding the base of the native mitral valve leaflets, the diameter of the annulus being adjustable. In practice, the annular body is delivered by the first deformable delivery wire 103 and the catheter system to the respective working position, i.e. the position of the base of the native mitral valve leaflet.
Mitral valve shearing system: the device mainly comprises a laser cutter 200 and a mitral valve closure adjusting guide pipe 208, wherein the laser cutter 200 comprises a laser conducting optical fiber 201, a conversion connector 202, an angle adjusting short section 203, a connector 204, a cutter head 205, holmium laser 206 (about 4mm) and an angle adjusting line 207. The laser conducting optical fiber 201 is connected with the angle adjusting short section 203 through the conversion connecting joint 202, the angle adjusting short section 203 is connected with the cutter head 205 through the connector 204, all the connections are threaded, and sealing can be achieved. The two ends of the angle adjusting line 207 are fixedly connected with the outer walls of the conversion connector 202 and the connector 204 respectively so as to realize the angle adjustment of the blade.
In some embodiments, the laser cutter can be replaced by a sharp micro cutter, the laser conducting optical fiber 201 in the laser cutter is replaced by a connecting pipe, and a blade is arranged below the cutter head to form the micro cutter.
The laser cutter or sharp micro-cutter 200 may have two shearing cutting media, if laser cutting is used, such as holmium laser wavelength of 2.1 μm, just above the absorption peak of water. Due to the shielding effect of water, the penetration depth of holmium laser in the tissue is less than 0.4mm, so that accurate and safe cutting can be performed on the surface of the tissue, and mistaken cutting, perforation and the like can not occur. The laser transmission optical fiber 201 is transmitted by quartz crystal, and a firm and wear-resistant coating layer is arranged outside the laser transmission optical fiber to protect the optical fiber from being damaged and broken in the using process; if the mitral valve is cut with a cutter, the cutter should be sharp enough to cut the mitral valve quickly.
In actual operation, the anterior valve is cut by a laser cutter or a cutting knife from a position far away from the central axis of the mitral valve annulus to a position close to the central axis of the mitral valve annulus, so that the mitral valve slit is obtained.
Biological ring implantation system: comprising a bio-ring 300, as shown in fig. 4, the bio-ring 300 comprises a bio-ring locking tip 301, a bio-ring locking ring 304, a first bio-ring 302 (on the side of the bio-ring locking tip) and a second bio-ring 303 on the side of the bio-ring locking ring), wherein as shown in fig. 4a, the adjacent ends of the first bio-ring 302 and the second bio-ring 303 are integrally connected (integrally connected between the end of the first bio-ring 302 and the end of the second bio-ring 303 away from the bio-ring locking tip 301 and the bio-ring locking ring 304), the first bio-ring and the second bio-ring are essentially in the shape of an integral strip, and are respectively expressed as a first bio-ring and a second bio-ring for convenience of representation and illustration; a through hole for the first deformable wire 103 to pass through is formed in the inner part (i.e. the inner part of the biological ring in the length direction) of the biological ring 300, the front end part of the biological ring locking tip 301 is of a tip structure, the outer periphery of the rear end part is provided with an external thread, the rear end part of the biological ring locking tip 301 is fixedly connected with one end part of the first biological ring 302, one end of the biological ring locking ring 304 is fixedly connected with the end part of the second biological ring 303, the inner wall of the biological ring locking ring 304 is provided with an internal thread, and the internal thread is matched with the external thread of the rear end part of the biological ring locking tip; the internal thread and the external thread are both pagoda-shaped threads. The bio-ring locking tip 301 and the bio-ring locking ring 304 are used to lock under the push of the first bio-ring 302 and the second bio-ring 303 to form a bio-ring lock. The inner part of the biological ring is provided with a through hole for the first deformable wire 103 to pass through, and the biological ring is provided with a lead-in hole for leading in two ends of the first deformable wire, the lead-in hole is approximately positioned in the middle of the biological ring, and the lead-in hole is communicated with the through hole. The biological ring locking tip 301 and the biological ring locking ring 304 are respectively pushed and locked by the first biological ring 302 and the second biological ring 303 under the guidance of the annular body formed by the first deformable wire 103 to form a biological ring locking buckle, so as to form a biological ring with adjustable diameter for wrapping the root of the original mitral valve.
As shown in fig. 4c, the thread side of the external thread of the rear end of the bio-ring locking tip 301 is at 30 ° to the central axis thereof, and the thread side of the internal thread of the bio-ring locking tip 304 is at 30 ° to the central axis thereof, and the bio-ring locking tip 301 enters the interior of the bio-ring locking tip 304 under the guiding action of the tip at 30 ° of the top. Because the range of the outer wall of the biological ring locking tip 301 (namely the range of the rear end part thereof) is provided with a thread which forms an angle of 30 degrees with the central axis; the inner wall of the biological ring locking ring 304 is also provided with a thread tooth which forms an angle of 30 degrees with the central axis, the biological ring locking tip 301 and the thread tooth inside the biological ring locking ring 304 are matched with each other, and the function is that when the biological ring locking tip 301 advances, the biological ring locking tip can slide forwards along a step surface of 30 degrees; however, when the back of the screw thread is at 90 degrees to the central axis, the screw thread has a blocking function and cannot be pushed out backwards (similar to a common cable tie in daily life).
Mitral valve prosthesis stent and valve: and fixing the mitral valve prosthesis stent and the matched valve in the biological ring.
Wherein the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 is anchored together in conjunction with a mitral valve prosthesis valve 404 to perform a mitral valve prosthesis function. The mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 may be made of a memory alloy (e.g., nitinol) by laser cutting, photochemical etching, or the like, and may recover a corresponding shape when released after reaching a corresponding position.
As shown in fig. 5a, the mitral valve prosthesis stent, which is a radially self-expanding tubular body, 400 comprises a stent top lotus layer 401, a stent middle recessed layer 402, a stent bottom support layer 403, a left fibrous trigone alignment element 406, a right fibrous trigone alignment element 405, a left ear anchor 407, a right ear anchor 408, and a top lotus layer anterior leaflet 409. The main body of the mitral valve prosthesis stent consists of a stent top lotus layer 401, a stent middle concave layer 402 and a stent bottom supporting layer 403 which are communicated with each other.
As shown in fig. 5a, the stent top lotus layer 401, the stent middle concave layer 402 and the stent bottom support layer 403 are communicated to form a tubular body, the stent top lotus layer 401 is formed by connecting a plurality of filaments similar to lotus petals to form an annular flange, the front end of the stent top lotus layer 401 is provided with the top lotus layer front leaflet 409, wherein the top lotus layer front leaflet 409 is formed by three lotus-like filaments, and the lotus-like filaments of the top lotus layer front leaflet 409 are different from other filaments (such as the filaments forming the stent top lotus layer 401): the angle of the filaments of the anterior leaflet portion 409 of the top lotus layer to the central axis of the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 is different from the angles of the other filaments (e.g., the angle of the filaments of the anterior leaflet portion 409 of the top lotus layer to the prosthesis stent is 10 °, and the angle of the other filaments to the prosthesis is 45 °). For the reasons mentioned above, the shape of the flange formed by the lotus-like filaments is not a regular circle, is similar to the letter D, and can better conform to the anatomical structure of the original diseased mitral valve 210 of the human body.
A left fiber triangular area aligning element 406 and a right fiber triangular area aligning element 405 are respectively arranged on the bracket top lotus layer 401 on the left side and the right side of the small leaf part 409 in front of the top lotus layer, a nontransmissive processing area is arranged on the aligning elements so as to be convenient for observation under perspective development in the operation process, the position of the mitral valve prosthesis bracket 400 is calibrated, the left fiber triangular area aligning element 406 is located close to the left fiber triangular area, and the right fiber triangular area aligning element 405 is located close to the right fiber triangular area, so that accurate release is realized. The correct position of the stent top lotus layer 401 in the heart is: the natural mitral valve position is near a portion of the inner wall of the left atrium.
The stent middle recessed layer 402 is formed by connecting triangular filaments and is characterized in that a flange diameter is formed to be smaller than the diameter of the stent top lotus layer 401, so that a recessed ring groove is formed for enabling a biological ring to enter the recessed ring groove and be fixed. The correct position of the stent mid-concave 402 in the heart is: there is a biological ring location in the native mitral annulus.
The stent bottom support layer 403 is formed of triangular shaped filaments joined together and characterized by a flange diameter that is larger than the diameter of the stent middle recessed layer 402. Left and right auricular anchors 407 and 408 are provided on the stent bottom support layer 403 at positions corresponding to the anterior leaflet portion 409 of the top lotus layer, and the auricular anchor pieces (i.e., the left and right auricular anchors 407 and 408) are tabs extending radially outward from the mitral valve prosthesis stent and are oriented to be inclined upward toward the atrial portion. The correct position of the stent bottom support layer 403 in the heart is: the natural mitral valve location is near a portion of the inner wall of the left ventricle.
The lotus layer 401 at the top of the bracket, the concave layer 402 at the middle of the bracket and the supporting layer 403 at the bottom of the bracket are connected and supported by the columnar filaments.
As shown in fig. 5b (when the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 is viewed from the oblique top), the three angles of the lotus-like filaments of the anterior leaflet portion 409 of the top lotus layer of the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 are different from the angles of the other lotus-like filaments to form a D-shape, and the left fibrous trigone alignment element 406 and the right fibrous trigone alignment element 405 are respectively disposed on the lotus-like filaments on the left and right sides of the anterior leaflet portion 409 of the top lotus layer, and the shape thereof may be a circular ring. The mitral valve prosthesis 404 is composed of three leaflets, which can be extracted from animals such as pigs, and is shown in a valve state (closed state) as viewed from an atrial direction toward a ventricular direction, and the three leaflets of the mitral valve prosthesis 404 have a closed state and an open state (not shown) as shown in the figure. In the opening state, the three leaflets are pushed to contract by blood flow to form a blood flow channel, so that the blood flow can smoothly flow into the ventricles from the atria; in the closed state, the lower ends of the three-valve leaflets are squeezed by filling due to the action of the reverse blood flow, so that the blood flow passage in the middle of the tricuspid valve prosthesis is closed, and the reverse blood flow is prevented from flowing through the three-valve leaflets. Once implanted in the body, the prosthetic valve can either replace the native diseased mitral valve 210 of the body, thereby reducing or eliminating valve insufficiency. The mitral prosthetic valve 404 is free of valve cover at the native diseased mitral valve slit 209 of the body as described above so that blood can flow through it smoothly.
As shown in fig. 5c, when the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 is viewed from the oblique top, the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 is provided with a left auricle anchor 407 and a right auricle anchor 408, the angle of the auricle anchor is radially outward, the auricle anchor is viewed from the upper portion of the stent, the auricle anchor points to the upstream left atrium direction of the original diseased mitral valve 210 of the human body, and the left/right auricle anchors are provided with a plurality of thorns (the number of the thorns of the auricle anchor is 8 as shown in the figure), which is set in such a way that when the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 is opened, the left auricle anchor 407 and the right auricle anchor 408 respectively support and open the slit on the original diseased mitral valve 210 of the human body, so that the original diseased mitral valve 210 of the human body and the related chordae tendineae are more snugly and firmly distributed on the auricle anchors. The blood flow channel formed by the mitral valve fissure 209 of the original lesion of the human body, which is created by the method, is not closed due to blood flow impact and the like.
As shown in fig. 5c, the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 and the mitral valve prosthesis valve 404 are connected together by a prosthesis valve suture support strip 410, the shape of the prosthesis valve suture support strip 410 is consistent with the outer contour of the mitral valve prosthesis valve 404 (only a small portion of the prosthesis valve suture support strip 410 is shown at the stent bottom support layer 403), and a plurality of suture points are distributed on the prosthesis valve suture support strip 410, and the suture points allow the valve prosthesis (such as pericardium) to be jointed thereto. In this embodiment, the prosthetic valve is a tricuspid valve, and thus it includes three prosthetic valve suture support bars 410.
As shown in fig. 5d, when the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 is placed in the correct position, the left fibrous trigone alignment element 406 and the right fibrous trigone alignment element 405 of the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 are respectively placed at the left end and the right end of the original diseased mitral valve slit 209 of the human body, so that the original mitral valve slit is in the center position as much as possible, and the left fibrous trigone alignment element 406 is close to the left fibrous trigone and the right fibrous trigone alignment element 405 is close to the right fibrous trigone. The left ear anchor 407 (right ear anchor 408) gradually extends into the body's original lesion mitral valve slit 209 after the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 is released and opened, and the left ear anchor 407 and the right ear anchor 408 gradually extend and expand, respectively, as time goes by, to gradually expand and expand the body's original lesion mitral valve slit 209.
As shown in fig. 5e, after the mitral valve prosthesis support 400 and the mitral valve prosthesis valve 404 are implanted, the mitral valve position in the heart is determined, the left fibrous trigone alignment element 406 and the right fibrous trigone alignment element 405 of the mitral valve prosthesis support 400 are respectively located in the left fibrous trigone and the right fibrous trigone of the original diseased mitral valve 210 of the human body, and the top lotus layer anterior leaflet 409 is located in the range between the left fibrous trigone and the right fibrous trigone, so that the tissue near the aorta is not pressed due to the gentle angle, and the blood flow passage can be kept open, thereby maintaining the normal structural configuration and the blood pumping function of each part of the heart (the aortic valve 501, the left ventricle 503, the right ventricle 506, the aorta 507, and the like).
In a second aspect, according to the above system, the present application provides an operating method of the above system, specifically including the following steps: the method comprises the following steps:
the first step is as follows: ring making: the annuloplasty is completed by a mitral annular space annuloplasty device,
as shown in fig. 2a-e, the positioning support tip 107 is delivered to a designated position in the ventricle by an external catheter delivery system, and the positioning support tip 107 and the outer sleeve 106 of the deformable delivery wire, the first deformable delivery wire 103, the second deformable delivery wire 105, etc. all enter the left ventricle of the heart through the catheter 108 of the external catheter delivery system, (the external catheter delivery system is a system capable of realizing a series of operations outside the human body, such as delivering, transporting, positioning, etc., and all the actions realized in the heart in the present invention are completed through the operation of the external catheter delivery system) to perform positioning support function for the next ring-making work. The outer sheath 106 is fed by the catheter delivery system into the mitral annulus of the human body in the ventricle, and the trapping trackball 101, the to-be-trapped trackball 104, and the second 105 and first 103 deformable wires are pushed out.
As the human body continues to advance in the mitral annulus, the second deformable wire 105, the first deformable wire 103, and other components made of memory alloy materials sense the temperature change caused by blood, and gradually change into an extended state. The catch magnetic ball 104 and the catch magnetic ball 101 attract each other to form a catch clasp joint 101 (104).
The catching clasp joint 101(104) enters the deformable wire outer sleeve 106 under the pulling of the first deformable wire 103 and the second deformable wire 105. The flexible wire outer sheath 106, the positioning support tip 107, is pulled out of the body by the external delivery catheter system. To this end, a ring body (annular body) surrounding the base of the original mitral valve leaflet is formed by the first deformable delivery wire 103 as shown in fig. 2e, and the ring body (i.e. annular body) passively adjusts the size of the annular perimeter due to the deformable nature of the first deformable delivery wire 103. (the main function of the positioning support tip 107 in the annuloplasty procedure is support, since all the lines are soft and require a supporting force during this procedure. after the formation of the catching clasp joint 101(104), it can be withdrawn, but the intermediate withdrawal affects the other lines in the catheter delivery system, so it is done until the final ring around the base of the original mitral valve leaflet is formed and all the lines are withdrawn together);
the second step is as follows: shearing: this is done by a mitral valve cutting system (transcatheter mitral valve cutting system), as shown in figure 3a,
the mitral valve closure adjustment catheter 208 is controlled by a catheter delivery system. After the annuloplasty device for mitral annulus annuloplasty completes the annuloplasty procedure, two ends of the first deformable delivery wire 103 are obtained outside the body, and the remaining portion (annulus) of the first deformable delivery wire 103 remains at the annular root of the original diseased mitral valve. At this time, outside the human body, the two ends of the first deformable delivery wire 103 are kneaded together into a strand, the strand of the metal soft wire composed of the two first deformable delivery wires 103 is threaded into the mitral valve closure adjustment catheter 208, then the mitral valve closure adjustment catheter 208 is gradually pushed into the vicinity of the original diseased mitral valve along the metal soft wire by the catheter delivery system outside the human body, and in the process of gradually pushing the mitral valve closure adjustment catheter 208, the mitral valve closure adjustment catheter 208 can deform the annular body formed in the above-mentioned annuloplasty step, which is surrounded by the first deformable delivery wire 103 around the valve annulus root (i.e., the mitral valve leaflet root), even if the circumferential length of the annular body is reduced, and further shrink the annular body to compress the closure of the original diseased mitral valve 210 of the human body, so as to prepare for cutting the diseased mitral valve.
The closed mitral valve as described above is evenly distributed across the cross-section of the atrioventricular passageway, facilitating the location of the cut by the laser cutter or the sharp micro-cutter 200. The angle adjustment short section 203 of the laser cutter or sharp micro cutter 200 is made of deformable material and is adjusted in angle by the angle adjustment line 207 so that the cutting head 205 is aligned with different positions of the mitral valve to perform cutting.
As shown in fig. 3b-c, the laser cutter or the sharp micro-cutter 200 is operated in an initial state to cut the original diseased mitral valve by aligning the cutting head 205 with the major diameter of the original diseased mitral valve, and the laser cutter or the sharp micro-cutter 200 is operated by the angle adjustment line 207, so that the cutting head 205 gradually moves towards the center of the atrioventricular passageway (the cutting head moves away from the central axis of the annulus from the original diseased mitral valve of the human body)ToAn anterior valve cut is made near the central axis of the mitral annulus). A mitral slit 209 is formed under the trajectory of the movement of the cutting head 205. After the cutting operation is completed, the mitral valve closure adjustment catheter 208 is withdrawn to the outside of the body. To this end, the annular body formed by the first deformable delivery wire 103 recovers its shape, forming a mitral valve slit 209;
the third step: biological ring placement: 4a-b, specifically, a first biological ring 302 and a second biological ring 303 are arranged in the catheter of the external catheter system, and the biological ring locking tip 301 and the biological ring locking ring 304 are gradually closed under the pushing action of the external catheter system. After closing, the first bio-ring 302 (on the side of the bio-ring locking tip) and the second bio-ring 303 (on the side of the bio-ring locking ring) are continuously squeezed, and the bio-ring locking tip 301 enters the interior of the bio-ring locking ring 304 and is locked, so as to form a bio-ring locking buckle 301(304), as shown in fig. 4 b.
As shown in fig. 4d-e, under the guiding action of the first deformable delivery wire 103, the tip 301 and the ring 304 enter the annular space of the mitral valve 100 and meet with each other under the action of external pushing force, and under the continuous action of the applied pressure, the tip 301 enters the inner locking teeth of the ring 304, and is locked to form a ring 301 (304). To this end, the bio-ring 300 is placed in the annular space of the mitral valve 100 (surrounding the base of the original mitral valve leaflets as illustrated in fig. 4 e);
the fourth step: mitral valve prosthesis and delivery placement:
there are two possible delivery and release methods for mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 and mitral valve prosthesis valve 404: transapical 508 delivery methods and transseptal delivery methods.
Referring to fig. 6a, which illustrates a method of transapical delivery of a mitral valve prosthesis holder 400 and a mitral valve prosthesis valve 404, a delivery device and system 604 with a mitral valve prosthesis holder and valve 603 compressed into a contracted state is introduced into the heart via the apex 508, against the chordae tendineae 504 and papillary muscles 505, and through the left ventricle 503 into the left atrium 502, under the influence of a delivery head 601 and a guidewire 602. The delivery system is manipulated to first expose the left fibrous trigone alignment element 406, the right fibrous trigone alignment element 405, and the top lotus layer anterior leaflet portion 409 of the stent top lotus layer 401 on the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400. Under observation by the transillumination visualization technique, the physician can observe the light-opaque alignment elements, i.e., the left fiber trigonal alignment element 406, the right fiber trigonal alignment element 405, and adjust the alignment of the alignment elements by rotating the delivery device and system 604.
After alignment is adjusted, the delivery device and system 604 continues to be retracted, further exposing the mitral valve prosthesis stent 400, allowing the radial constraint of the stent top lotus layer 401 to be completely removed, allowing more self-expansion of the stent top lotus layer 401 to form a flange, snug against the atrial surface. Continuing to expose the stent central recess 402, allowing for more outward expansion of the mitral prosthetic valve 404, the stent central recess 402 expands into engagement with the mitral annulus and the now unexpanded ear anchors gradually enter the native diseased mitral valve slit 209 of the body in preparation for the next step of capturing and supporting tissue on either side of the slit. If not aligned, the delivery system may be slightly adjusted to allow the unexpanded left and right ear anchors 407, 408 to enter the native diseased mitral valve slit 209 of the human body. At this point, the stent is recessed within the layer 402 just outside the bio-ring 300.
After the human mitral valve is fixed under the action of the biological ring 300 and the stent middle concave layer 402, the stent is pulled towards the atrium by an external catheter system, so that the biological ring 300 is located at the root position of the valve leaflets of the human mitral valve as far as possible, and at the moment, the catheter system controlling the size of the biological ring 300 is used for continuously pushing the biological ring locking tip 301 of the biological ring 300 to enter the inner locking teeth 304 of the biological ring locking ring, so that the biological ring 300 is more tightly surrounded the stent middle concave layer 402. Therefore, the human mitral valve is reliably fixed under the action of the bio-ring 300 and the concave layer 402 in the middle of the stent, and the stent cannot slide down due to blood flow and the like.
Further contraction of the delivery device and system 604 continues to release the stent bottom support layer 403, at which point the mitral valve prosthetic valve 404 expands outwardly into an expanded state, while at the same time the left and right ear anchors 407, 408 spread the native diseased mitral valve slit 209, capturing the native anterior leaflet and chordae tendineae 504 between the left and right ear anchors 407, 408 and the mitral valve prosthetic stent 400. After the delivery is complete, the delivery device and system 604 is withdrawn, removed from the heart from the apical incision, and the apical incision is ligated and sutured, etc.
As shown in fig. 6b, which illustrates a method of transseptally delivering mitral valve prosthesis holder 400 and mitral valve prosthesis 404, a delivery device and system 604 with mitral valve prosthesis holder 603 compressed into a contracted state is advanced from the vena cava into the right atrium 510 and continues to puncture the interatrial septum 509 (typically through the fossa ovalis) into the left atrium 502 under the influence of a delivery head 601 and a guide wire 602. The method and steps for releasing mitral valve prosthesis stent 400 and mitral valve prosthesis valve 404 are similar to the transapical delivery method and are not described in detail.
As shown in fig. 7, after the mitral annuloplasty device, the mitral valve cutting system, the bio-ring insertion system, the mitral valve prosthesis delivery insertion system, and other operation steps, a clear blood flow channel is formed between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart, and the mitral valve prosthesis does not fall off along with the heartbeat or the blood flow influence, so as to achieve and maintain the normal structural configuration of each part of the heart (such as the tissue near the aortic valve).
The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Therefore, the equivalent changes made in the claims of the patent of the present invention still belong to the scope covered by the patent of the present invention.
