Abstract

A heart valve prosthesis for replacement of the aortic valve or pulmonary valve comprises a plastic or metal supporting ring (10), three commissure elements and three vela formed from a biological heart valve preparation. The aortic walls of the vela arranged in the supporting ring (10) are stitched, together with the supporting ring (10) and its commissure wall, to the edges of the commissure elements. The commissure elements are formed by strips (12) of felt which stand proud on the supporting ring with their axes parallel and which can be fastened to the walls of the patient's aorta.

Description

Herzklappenprothese zum Ersatz der Aortenklappe Heart valve prosthesis to replace the aortic valve
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Herzklappenprothese zum Er¬ satz der Aortenklappe oder Pulmonalklappe nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruch 1, wie sie aus der DE 83 27 414 Ul vorbekannt ist.The invention relates to a heart valve prosthesis for replacing the aortic valve or pulmonary valve according to the preamble of claim 1, as is known from DE 83 27 414 U1.
Zum Stand der Technik wird weiter auf die DE 35 41 478 AI, die DE 23 55 959 B2 und DE 36 08 435 C2 hingewie¬ sen.The state of the art is further referred to DE 35 41 478 AI, DE 23 55 959 B2 and DE 36 08 435 C2.
Bei der eingangs genannten Herzklappenprotheεe sind die Segel des biologischen Herzklappenpräparats an einen wellenförmig ausgebildeten Kunststoffträger angesetzt. Der Ort, an dem die Kommisεuren der Klappensegel folgt daher nicht der Weitung bzw. der Verengung der Aorta radial .In the heart valve prosthesis mentioned at the beginning, the sails of the biological heart valve preparation are attached to a wave-shaped plastic carrier. The location at which the commissures of the valve leaflets therefore do not follow the widening or narrowing of the aorta radially.
Der Erfindung liegt damit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Herzklappenprothese der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der der Ort, an dem die Kommissuren der Klappensegel verankert sind, sich bei der Weitung bzw. Verengung der Aorta den jeweiligen Druckverhältnissen entsprechend radial bewegen kann.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a prosthetic heart valve of the type mentioned at the beginning, in which the location at which the commissures of the valve leaflets are anchored can move radially in accordance with the respective pressure conditions when the aorta is expanded or contracted.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die im kenn¬ zeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Die Unteransprüche geben vorteilhafte Ausge¬ staltungen der Erfindung an.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. The subclaims indicate advantageous embodiments of the invention.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand einer Zeichnung erläutert. Dabei zeigt: Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Darstellung einer solchen Herzklappenprothese, undThe invention is explained below with reference to a drawing. It shows: Fig. 1 is a perspective view of such a heart valve prosthesis, and
Fig. 2 eine MittelSchnittdarstellung durch eine solche Herzklappenprothese, wobei links einer der die Kommissurenelemente bildenden Filz¬ streifen geschnitten erkennbar ist.2 shows a central sectional view through such a heart valve prosthesis, one of the felt strips forming the commissure elements being recognizable in section on the left.
Die Herzklappenprothese besteht aus einem Stützring 10 mit über den Umfang im wesentlichen gleichbleibender Höhe. Außen um den Stützring herum ist ein Nahtring 16 angeordnet.The heart valve prosthesis consists of a support ring 10 with a substantially constant height over the circumference. A seam ring 16 is arranged on the outside around the support ring.
Auf dem Stützring 10 stehen im wesentlichen achsenpar¬ allel ausgerichtete Filzstreifen 12 auf, die mit dem Stützring 10 nicht starr, sondern frei aufstehend ver¬ bunden sind.On the support ring 10 there are essentially axially parallel felt strips 12, which are not rigidly connected to the support ring 10, but rather stand up freely.
In den Stützring 10 ist ein biologisches Herzklappen¬ präparat - vorzugsweise vom Schwein gewonnen - an deren Aortenwandung 14 ' unterhalb und oberhalb der Veranke¬ rung X an den Stützring angenäht, während die Kommissu- ren 14*' des biologischen Herzklappenpräparats an den nachgiebigen Filzstreifen 12 angenäht sind.In the support ring 10, a biological heart valve preparation - preferably obtained from pork - is sewn to the aortic wall 14 'below and above the anchoring X on the support ring, while the commissures 14 *' of the biological heart valve preparation are attached to the flexible felt strips 12 are sewn on.
Bei der Implantation der hier vorgeschlagenen Herzklap¬ penprothese wird der fest mit dem Stützring 10 verbun¬ dene Nahtring 16 an die Aortenwandung des Patienten herznah angenäht. Die freien, von dem Stützring 10 weg¬ weisenden Enden der Filzstreifen 12 werden an die Aor¬ tenwandung des Patienten angeheftet. Aufgrund der Nachgiebigkeit der die Kommissurelemente bildenden Filzstreifen 12 verhält sich die Herzklappen¬ prothese nach der Erfindung etwa wie die natürliche menschliche Herzklappe: Der Ort, an dem die Kommissuren der Klappensegel verankert sind, bewegt sich bei der Weitung bzw. Verengung der Aorta radial den jeweiligen Druckverhältniεsen entsprechend, was zur zuverlässigen Funktion der Klappensegel beiträgt. Der erreichbare Strömungεquerεchnitt iεt größer, da bei einer Weitung der Aorta aufgrund deε Auεεtoßdrucks sich die Veranke¬ rungspunkte der Kommissuren entsprechend nach außen be¬ wegen. Es wird so - wie bei der natürlichen Klappe - ein divergenter Fluß bewirkt, da, anders als bei dem Stand der Technik - keine starren Kommissurelemente vorhanden sind. Die sich bei dem Stand der Technik hin¬ ter den Kommissurelernenten bildenden Toträume werden vermieden. When the heart valve prosthesis proposed here is implanted, the suture ring 16, which is firmly connected to the support ring 10, is sewn close to the heart of the patient's aortic wall. The free ends of the felt strips 12 pointing away from the support ring 10 are attached to the aortic wall of the patient. Due to the resilience of the felt strips 12 forming the commissure elements, the heart valve prosthesis according to the invention behaves approximately like the natural human heart valve: the location at which the commissures of the valve leaflets are anchored moves radially as the aorta widens or narrows Pressure ratios accordingly, which contributes to the reliable function of the valve leaflets. The flow cross-section that can be achieved is larger since the anchoring points of the commissures correspondingly move outwards when the aorta is widened due to the ejection pressure. As with the natural flap, a divergent flow is brought about because, unlike in the prior art, there are no rigid commissure elements. The dead spaces which form behind the commissure members in the prior art are avoided.
