This technology is related to the processing of abdominal aneurvsm.More specifically, this technology is related to for stent graft induction system And the Handleset of related system and method.
Aneurysm refers to that blood vessel dilatation exceedes at least 1.5 times of its normal diameter.The vascularization of the expansion is referred to as artery The projection of knurl capsule, it can weaken vascular wall, and finally rupture.Aneurysm is most frequently located in artery (that is, the Wei Lisi of brain base portion Ring) in, and in the maximum artery of human body, sustainer.Abdomen across diaphragm to abdominal aorta and bone aortic bifurcation point is actively Arteries and veins is the most commonly site of aortic aneurysm.This abdominal aneurvsm (AAAs) is typically to occur between kidney and common iliac artery, and It is currently to cause one of main causes of death in the U.S..
Two processing for being mainly used in AAA are open surgery reparation and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).Outside The expansion for generally including to open sustainer is repaired in section's operation, inserts composite tube, and close the aneurysm of the tube periphery Capsule.Such AAA surgical repairs are very invasives, and therefore have the incidence of disease of the level of signifiance associated therewith And operative mortality rate.In addition, for the health of many patients, surgical repair is not feasible selection.
It is implanted into stent graft and repairs (EVAR) processing through the minimally-invasive vascular internal aneurysm of the aneurysm region of sustainer It has been developed as replacement or the improvement of open surgery.EVAR generally includes delivery conduit inserting femoral artery, leads to Cross X-ray and visualize guiding catheter to aneurysmal position, and the stent graft synthesized is conveyed to AAA by conduit.The branch Frame graft strengthens the weakened part of sustainer to prevent aneurysmal rupture, and to flow through the stent graft remote for guide blood From aneurysm region.Therefore, the stent graft causes blood flow to bypass aneurysm, and allows aneurysm to be shunk with the time.
Most of supports and support for cardiovascular application (for example, coronal, sustainer, peripheral nervous system) Implant system is designed using self-expanding, is significantly expanded and is shunk in radial dimension.However, other systems include the branch of braiding Frame graft, its radial compression, elongation in the state of conveyed.When being conveyed from delivery conduit, the stent graft will Radially expand and flexibly shorten to its free state.In other words, when the diameter of stent graft is forced to be decreased or increased When, its effective length changes.For example, will be able to have with relatively thin, finer and close helical angle stent graft longer Constraint length.Once stent graft is removed from about beam guide tube, it can return resiliently to the original, freely long of it Degree.
It is accurate relative to the stent graft in the target location of purpose artery that transfer gantry graft to artery needs With accurate positioning.For example, the bifurcated artery of flow direction can be blocked by misplacing the stent graft of position.Some stent grafts are defeated System is sent using one or more marks (for example, radiopaque mark), to set up the stent graft relative to arterial wall Alignment.However, the position of the radiopaque mark on stent graft can having because of the stent graft upon deployment Imitate the change of length and position and move relative to initial markers, as described above.Therefore, after stent graft expansion, the support Graft (for example, its nearside or distal side edge) may miss target point in the artery.Accordingly, there exist with radially and The stent graft of change size is accurately positioned relevant many challenges on longitudinal direction.
