Aiming at the patients, the artificial heart valve replacement can be carried out by adopting a minimally invasive transcatheter aortic valve implantation mode, and the transcatheter aortic valve implantation mode does not need to open the chest and has the advantages of small wound, quick recovery and the like, so that the artificial heart valve replacement is more and more widely paid attention and paid attention.

Since the advent of transcatheter aortic valve implantation, valve delivery devices with various functions have been proposed by manufacturers, one important criterion being recyclability. Before the valve is finally released, the valve is usually partially released, and the implantation position of the transcatheter aortic valve is determined whether to be proper or not by evaluating the hydrodynamic index of the partially released (pre-released) valve. Retrievability means that the transcatheter aortic valve device can be retrieved.

The full-height pre-release of the valve is beneficial to the doctor to fully judge the working condition of the valve after implantation in advance, thereby better determining the subsequent adjustment direction of the implantation strategy.

A comparison is shown in fig. 27 to 30.

In the unlocked state, the diameter of the circumference where the uppermost edges of the three membrane leaf fixing parts are located is phi 1, and the valve is in a complete working state at the moment. In the locked state (the locking ends 611 of the locking stent 61 are locked together) when the prosthetic valve 50 is implanted, the diameter of the circumference of the uppermost edge of the three leaflet securing portions is Φ 2, where Φ 2 is 74% to 120% of Φ 1. The scope can guarantee to guarantee that the valve can reach basic operating condition under the locking state for the working condition of valve after the doctor judges implantation in advance, thereby follow-up adjustment direction to the implantation strategy of better definite, and need not release the complete unblock of prosthetic valve 50, under the condition that prosthetic valve 50 is unsatisfactory, can be convenient retrieve prosthetic valve 50.

In this embodiment, the design consideration of Φ 2 ranges from 74% to 120% of Φ 1, and the main considerations are as follows:

under the locking state of each locking end 611, the diameter phi 2 of the circumference where the uppermost edge of the three membrane leaf fixing parts is located determines the working condition of the artificial valve during pre-evaluation, and if the diameter phi 2 is too small, the three membrane leaves 93 cannot be smoothly attached, so that reflux is caused; if Φ 2 is too large, the free edges of the three leaflets 93 will not fit together, the valve will not close properly, and regurgitation will also be caused.

When the ventricles relax, the volume of the ventricles increases, and the blood in the aorta tends to flow back to the ventricles. The leaflets 93 are closed to prevent the regurgitation of blood due to the action of the blood flow, and accordingly, the action of the blood on the valve generates a force to deform the suture shaft 71 inward, and the amount of deformation of the suture shaft 71 is one of the factors determining whether the valve is well-fitted when closed, so that the amount of deformation of the suture shaft 71 due to the blood flow must be considered in consideration of the size of Φ 2.

The amount of deformation of the sewing rod 71 is determined by the blood pressure of the patient, the structural rigidity of the sewing rod, and the size of the valve. As a rule of thumb, the amount of deflection of a single suture shaft 71 under the influence of blood flow ranges from about 2% to about 10% of Φ 1. According to the above numerical values, considering the deformation of the three suture rods 71, when Φ 2 of the three membrane leaves 93 fixing parts in the locked state is 120% of Φ 1 in the unlocked state, the membrane leaves 93 still have the possibility of normally working under the action of blood flow, so that 120% of Φ 1 is taken as the upper limit of Φ 2;

on the other hand, due to the good flexibility of the membrane leaves 93, even if the diameter of the circumference where the three membrane leaves 93 are fixed is relatively small, the free edges of the membrane leaves 93 can still be well attached, and according to experience, when the circumference where the uppermost edges of the three membrane leaf fixed parts are located is 70% of the circumference in the unlocked state, the membrane leaves 93 still have the possibility of being well closed. According to the conclusion that the minimum deformation of a single suture rod 71 can reach 2% of phi 1, considering the situation of three suture rods 71, when phi 2 of the fixed part of the three membrane leaves 93 is 74% of phi 1 in the unlocked state, the valve still can be well jointed and normally works by virtue of the compliance of the membrane leaves 93, and therefore 74% of phi 1 is taken as the lower limit of phi 2.

The optimal proportion of the diameter phi 2 of the circumference of the uppermost edge of the three membrane leaf fixing parts to phi 1 is 85-110%, and in the proportion range, the three membrane leaves are well closed in a locking state, so that the valve function after release can be accurately estimated.

To meet the characteristics of the valve prosthesis 50 in the pre-release state, the top stent 60 may have a smaller structural rigidity than the middle stent 70, and specifically, the following may be used:

1. the top bracket 60 is made of a material having a lower modulus of elasticity relative to the middle bracket 70;

2. the top bracket 60 is lengthened in its entire length to keep the locking end 611 away from the suture shaft, which is a fixed end of the locking end, so that lengthening the entire length of the top bracket 60 makes the locking end less rigid.

3. The top bracket 60 and the middle bracket 70 are processed by the same material, so that the processing cost is reduced and the integral mechanical strength is ensured; the top stent 60, the middle stent 70 and the bottom stent 80 are made of nitinol. In this condition, the cross-sectional area of the rod-shaped material of the top stent 60 is small relative to the cross-sectional area of the rod-shaped material of the middle stent 70, and preferably, the maximum value of the cross-sectional area of the rod-shaped material of the top stent 60 is 33% to 95% of the minimum value of the cross-sectional area within the height range of the middle stent 70, and the cross-sectional area is perpendicular to the central axis of the valve assembly. The structural rigidity of the locking end can be better proportioned to the structural rigidity of the mid-stent suture rod when the maximum cross-sectional area within the range of the top stent height is in the range of 50% to 90% relative to the minimum cross-sectional area within the range of the mid-stent height.

When the number of the locking brackets 61 is six, the locking end structural rigidity of each locking bracket 61 is 3% to 45% of the structural rigidity of the suture rod of the middle bracket 70. When the structural rigidity of the locking end of the locking bracket 61 is 20-40% of that of the suture rod of the middle bracket 70, the diameter phi 2 of the circumference where the uppermost edges of the three membrane leaf fixing parts are located in the locking state accounts for 85-110% of the diameter phi 1 of the circumference where the uppermost edges of the three membrane leaf fixing parts are located in the completely releasing state, and in the proportion range, the three membrane leaves are well closed in the locking state, so that the valve function after releasing can be accurately estimated.

In the bottom direction, the circumferential diameter of the bottom stent 80 gradually increases to form a trumpet shape, and a larger radial compression amount can be generated after the artificial valve 50 is implanted to prevent the artificial valve 50 from shifting during operation, a circumferential skirt 81 is arranged on the bottom stent 80, and the skirt 81 can be made of pericardium materials or high polymer materials.

In this embodiment, the method for testing the structural rigidity of the single locking end 611 is as follows: as shown in fig. 29, 30 and 31, the valve stent is released into the silicone tube 942 at an ambient temperature of 37 ℃, and the inner diameter of the silicone tube 942 is selected to be within the range of the diameter of the aortic valve annulus of the human body to which the prosthetic valve is applied. The silicone tube 942 is fixed to the platform of the universal tensile testing instrument by a fixing tool 943, wherein the inner diameter of the fixing tool 943 is attached to the inner diameter of the silicone tube 942. The locking end 611 of the valve stent is tied using a pull wire 944 and locked with a tensile tester clamp 941, keeping the locking end 611 to be measured centered with the tensile tester clamp 941, i.e. keeping the pull wire 944 in a vertical direction. After the universal tensile tester is initially zeroed, the tensile tester clamp is operated to enable the locking end 611 to be in an undeformed state and the pull wire 944 to be just stretched straight, the position is set as a zero point, the force value and deformation of the universal tensile tester are adjusted to be zero, the force value under the condition of upward stretching by 10mm displacement is tested, and the ratio of the obtained maximum force value to the displacement is taken as the structural rigidity.

The structural rigidity of a single suture rod was tested as described above, and is shown in fig. 32, 33 and 34.
