Abstract

The implant comprises a semi-circular shell-like body which is symmetrically divided and which is designed for insertion into the aorta or pelvic arteries. The body can be made in various sizes to suit the anatomy of the patient being treated. To retain the body in position, anchoring hooks are provided on the side of the body away from the shell side. Funnel shaped circular tubes are attached to the body which are used to anchor the support in the pelvic arteries. The body can be covered with a plastics material such as Dacron. Heart valves can be put into the two parts of the support.

Description

Gegenwärtiger Stand der TechnikCurrent state of the art

Aussackungen der Körperhauptschlagader und der Beckengefäße können neuerdings ohne Ope­ ration behandelt werden. Hierzu wird eine röhrenförmige Gefäßstütze in die Aorta in zusammen­ gefalteten Zustand mit Dacron überzogen in die Aorta eingebracht. Nach Zurückziehen eines Applikationskatheters entfaltet sich die rohrförmige Prothese entweder aufgrund der Elastizität des verwendeten Materials z. B. (Stahl) oder aufgrund der Erwärmung auf Körperwärme bei ei­ nem gedächtnistragenden Metall, z. B. (Nitinol) und verankert sich mit kleinen Wiederhäkchen an der Wand der Aorta, um auf diese Weise eine Aussackung oder Verletzung der Aortenwand zu überbrücken und einer Ruptur der ausgestülpten Wand vorzubeugen. Der Nachteil dieser Ge­ fäßstützen gegenwärtig ist, daß aufgrund ihrer großen Cirkumferenz auch im zusammengefalteten Zustand eine Einbringung in die Körperschlagader nur über eine operative Freilegung der Bein­ schlagader möglich ist, darüber hinaus ist der maximale Durchmesser dieser Systeme gegenwärtig auf 26 mm begrenzt. Der in dem Patentanspruch unter Punkt 1-4 genannten Erfindung liegt zu­ grunde, die maximale Cirkumferenz des einzubringenden prothetischen Materials dadurch zu ver­ kleinern, daß beide Beinarterien zur Applikation von zwei kleineren, halbkreisförmigen Gefäß­ stützen benutzt werden, die sich im Bereich des Applikationsortes zu einer größeren Gefäßstütze vereinigen. Dadurch kann die maximale Größe der komprimierten Gefäßstütze verkleinert wer­ den, und es kann darauf verzichtet werden, die Beinarterie chirurgisch freizulegen, da Gefäßstützen mit einem Außendurchmesser von 4 bis maximal 6 mm auch ohne chirurgische Freilegung der Beinarterien allein durch Punktion der Gefäße vorgebracht werden können.Leaching of the main artery and pelvic vessels can now be done without surgery ration are treated. To do this, a tubular stent is put into the aorta folded state covered with dacron inserted into the aorta. After withdrawing one Application catheters unfold the tubular prosthesis either due to the elasticity the material used z. B. (steel) or due to heating to body heat at egg memory metal, e.g. B. (Nitinol) and anchors itself with small checkmarks the wall of the aorta to prevent the aortic wall from sagging or being damaged bridge and prevent rupture of the exposed wall. The disadvantage of this Ge It is present in the barrel support that, due to its large circumference, also in the folded Condition of insertion into the artery of the body only via operative exposure of the leg artery is possible, moreover, the maximum diameter of these systems is present limited to 26 mm. The invention mentioned in the claims under point 1-4 lies reason to ver the maximum circumference of the prosthetic material to be introduced smaller that both leg arteries for application of two smaller, semicircular vessels Support are used, which in the area of application to a larger stent unite. This allows the maximum size of the compressed stent to be reduced and there is no need to surgically expose the leg artery because  Vascular supports with an outer diameter of 4 to a maximum of 6 mm even without surgical Exposure of the leg arteries can be brought forward only by puncturing the vessels can.

Darüber hinaus besteht häufig das Problem, daß Aussackungen der unteren Aorta häufig in die Beckenarterien übergreifen, weshalb sogenannte Ypsilon förmige (hosenartig ausgefertigte) Ge­ fäßstützen implantiert werden müssen. Auch diesen Gefäßstützen liegt das o.g. Problem zu­ grunde, nämlich das Problem der Größe im zusammengefalteten Zustand, darüber hinaus haben diese Gefäßstützen noch das Problem, daß das sogenannte zweite Bein in die Gefäßstütze einge­ setzt werden muß, welches ein technisch schwieriger Vorgang ist (siehe Abb. 1). In der unter 1-4 genannten Erfindung ist das Einsetzen eines zweiten Beines nicht notwendig, da sich die beiden Halbschalen, die von beiden Beinarterien aus eingesetzt werden, in der Aorta vereinigen und somit zwei Blutstromüberbrückungen in beide Beine hinein darstellen. Die Halbkreise sollen in verschiedenen Längen und Durchmessern entsprechend der unterschiedlichen Anatomie verfügbar sein.In addition, there is often the problem that sacking of the lower aorta often spill over into the pelvic arteries, which is why so-called Y-shaped (pant-like) Ge must be implanted. These stumps are also based on the problem mentioned above, namely the problem of size when folded, in addition, these stents have the problem that the so-called second leg has to be inserted into the stent, which is a technically difficult process (see Fig . 1). In the invention mentioned under 1-4, the insertion of a second leg is not necessary, since the two half-shells, which are inserted from both leg arteries, unite in the aorta and thus represent two blood flow bridges in both legs. The semicircles should be available in different lengths and diameters according to the different anatomy.

Zur Aufnahme von Herzklappenprothesen, die perkutan bislang nicht implantiert werden können, aufgrund der unter anderem großen Zirkumferenz des Stützapparates, auch im zusammengefalte­ ten Zustand, können die Halbkreisstützprothesen ebenfalls, dann allerdings ohne Überzug, aber mit einer in jedem Halbkreis eingebrachten Ventilprothese ebenfalls verwendet werden.For the admission of prosthetic heart valves that have not yet been implantable percutaneously, due to the large circumference of the supporting apparatus, including in the folded one The semicircular support prostheses can also be in this condition, but then without a cover, however can also be used with a valve prosthesis inserted in each semicircle.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in den Zeichnungen 2a bis 2c dargestellt.Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings 2a to 2c.
