- a tri-leaflet heart valve prosthesis 10 comprises an annular elastic valve body 12 and three flexible leaflets 14 made of a biocompatible polymer such as silicone or polyurethane, as shown in Fig. 1. Each leaflet has an attachment edge by which it is coupled to the valve body along an attachment curve 16. Each leaflet has a free edge 18 that is not coupled to the valve body.
- a sewing ring 20 is coupled to the base of the valve body 12 and provides a place for sutures to be applied when the valve is implanted.
- the valve body comprises an annular base 22 and a leaflet support, comprising three shaped posts 24, that supports the leaflets 14. When fluid flow is in the forward direction, i.e. in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig.
- the pressure of the blood flow causes the leaflets 14 to deflect away from a central longitudinal axis 26 of the valve body that is generally parallel to the three posts 24.
- the leaflets 14 In this open position, the leaflets 14 define a large flow orifice, as shown in Fig. 2.
- the valve presents little resistance to fluid flow.
- the leaflets deflect toward axis 26, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. In this "closed" position, each leaflet would occlude more than one-third of the valve body's orifice were it not for the presence of the other leaflets.
- each leaflet forms a "triple point" 28 at the point where the three leaflets come together, as shown in Fig. 4.
- the place where the leaflets 14 come together adjacent the posts 24 is called the "commissure" 30, as shown in Fig. 3.
- the flexible leaflets in their closed positions are generally planar in their coaptive regions and have a generally spherical shape in the region below the coaptive region, called the "belly".
- the pressure of blood flowing in a forward direction impinges on the convex side of the leaflets urging them from the closed positions shown in Figs. 3 and 4 to the open positions shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
- the blood pressure must overcome the resistance of the leaflets to buckling. This is illustrated in Figs. 5a-d.
- a leaflet 32 the belly of which has a cylindrical cross- section as shown in Fig. 5a, has pressure 34, representing the pressure of blood attempting to flow in the forward direction (the direction of the arrow in Fig. 1) impinging on its convex side.
- the leaflet 32 resists displacement.
- a “feature” is introduced into the shape of the leaflet 32, which causes the leaflet to transition from its closed position to its open position at a lower forward pressure.
- the feature can be any change in the leaflet that reduces its resistance to buckling including a change in the curvature of the leaflet that causes the resulting leaflet to have a non-continuous shape or a reduction in the thickness of a portion of the leaflet.
- a planar portion 36 can be introduced into the belly of the leaflet 32 so that the belly of the leaflet 32 no longer has a continuous cylindrical shape, as shown in Fig. 6a.
- the leaflet has a lower resistance to buckling as shown in Figs. 6b-d.
- the planar portion 36 has begun to deflect in the direction of the forward pressure.
- a planar portion 38 extends along a line 40 from the bottom point 42 of the leaflet 44 to the center of the free margin 46 of the leaflet 44.
- the planar portion extends the entire distance from the bottom point 42 to the center of the free margin 46.
- the planar portion 48 extends to the center of the free margin 46 but not to the bottom point 42, as shown in Fig. 7b.
- the planar portion 50 extends to the bottom point 42 but not to the center of the free margin 46, as shown in Fig. 7c.
- the planar portion 52 extends along the line 40 but does not extend to either the center of the free margin 46 or the bottom point 42.
- An axis 54 of the planar portion may be parallel to the line 40 or it may be inclined, preferably by less than ten degrees, with respect to the line.
- the axis 54 of the planar portion is inclined with respect to the axis of the valve body 26, preferably by at least five degrees.
- the planar portion is symmetrical around the line 40 extending from the center of the free margin 46 of the leaflet 44 to the bottom point 42 of the leaflet 44.
- Such symmetrically located features are called "spines.”
- the planar portion will reduce the leaflet's resistance to buckling even if it is not symmetrically located.
- the planar portion 56 may be asymmetrically located with respect to the line 40, as shown in Fig. 8a.
- the planar portion 58 may be obliquely located with respect to the line, as shown in Fig. 8b.
- the planar portion 60 may be transverse to the line 40, as shown in Fig. 8c.
- the feature may extend to the free margin or attachment curve of the leaflet, as shown in Figs. 8a and 8b, or the boundaries of the feature may not intersect the boundaries of the leaflet, as shown in Fig. 8c.
- Fig. 9 shows a three dimensional representation of a leaflet 62 in its closed position.
- the leaflet comprises a region adjacent the free margin 64 and a belly 66.
- the belly 66 is concave when viewed from the direction shown in Fig. 9.
- the belly includes a convex portion 68 that changes the curvamre of the belly 66 and makes the leaflet less resistant to buckling and therefore easier to transition from its closed position to its open position.
- the leaflet is biased toward opening, it will start opening before the pressure on its inflow side exceeds the pressure on the outflow side.
- the design of the leaflet shown in Fig. 9 will also have low bending stress when the valve is open.
- Fig. 10 shows a cross-section of a prior art tri-leaflet heart valve 70 in which the leaflets 72 have continuous curvamre.
- the cross-section cuts across the belly portion of the leaflets where the leaflets have a continuous curvamre.
- Features can be introduced into the shape of the leaflets 72 in a variety of ways, all of which will interrupt the continuity of the shape of the leaflet, and in particular the belly portion of the leaflet.
- Fig. 11 the portions 74 of the leaflets 72 enclosed in dashed boxes 76 have been flattened slightly to cause a change in curvamre as compared to the portions of the leaflets 72 outside the dashed boxes. This change in curvamre is sufficient to reduce the resistance of the leaflets to buckling.
- planar features 78 have been introduced into the leaflets 72.
- a cross-section of the valves illustrated in Figs. 7a-d would have the general appearance of Fig. 12.
- concave features 80 are introduced into the otherwise-convex shape of leaflets 72.
- semicircular features 82 or folded features 84 are introduced into the leaflets 72.
- peaked features 86 may be introduced into the shape of the leaflets 72, as illustrated in Fig. 17. In the embodiments shown in Figs. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17, the features are located symmetrically with respect to the leaflets 72.
- any of the features illustrated in those figures may be located asymmetrically with respect to the leaflets and still achieve the result of reducing the resistance of the leaflets to buckling.
- concave features 88 are located asymmetrically with respect to the centers of the otherwise-convex leaflets 72.
- features may also be reductions in the thickness of portions of the leaflet.
- the features are portions 90 of the leaflets 72 where the thickness of the material forming the leaflets is less than in the remaining portion of the leaflets 72. The thinness of the material in the features 90 causes the features 90 to buckle more easily than they would had the material in the portion been the same thickness as in the rest of the leaflet 72.
- the thin portions 92 of the leaflet can also be located in the "leg" portion of the leaflet 72 along the attachment curve, as shown in Fig. 20.
- the thickness of the material forming a feature may vary.
- the feature may be a spine extending along a line from a leaflet's bottom point to its triple point.
- the thickness of the material forming the spine may taper from its thickest at the end of the spine closest to the triple point to its thinnest at the end of the spine closest to the bottom point.
- the material may be thickest at the end of the spine closest to the bottom point.
- the taper may be gradual and uniform or it may include a step increase or some other non-linear variation in thickness.
- the features can have any arbitrary shape, including the sine-wave shape of the features 94 illustrated in Fig. 21, as long as the continuity of the shape of the leaflets is interrupted by the feature or features.
- the shape of the valve's leaflets is preferably determined by the intersection of solid cylinders, as illustrate in Fig. 22.
- a cylinder 96 represents the shape of the valve body.
- the intersection of the valve body cylinder 96 with a second cylinder 98 creates the shape of a cylindrical leaflet 100.
- a cylindrical feature is added to the shape by intersecting a third cylinder 102 with the intersection of the first two.
- the second cylinder 98 and the third cylinder 102 each have longitudinal axes 104 and 106, respectively.
- the point of closest approach of the two axes 104 and 106 is above the intersection of the leaflet and the valve body (where the triple point is considered to be above the bottom point).
- the two axes 104 and 106 intersect above the intersection of the leaflet and the valve body.
- the two axes 104 and 106 are not parallel. Even more preferably, the angle 108 between the two axes is greater than one degree.
- the angle 108 between the two axes is about three degrees.
- the apparatus is not limited to one feature per leaflet. Instead, more than one feature (e.g. a planar portion and a sine wave portion or weakened legs and a planar portion) can be incorporated into a single leaflet. Further, each leaflet may have a different combination of feamres or one or more of the leaflets on a valve may be entirely free of feamres. Each feamre may incorporate a variety of mechanisms to increase the leaflet's susceptibility to buckling, including incorporating one or more of the feature shapes within a single feamre and varying the material thickness within the feamre. Moreover, the feamres described above may be added to valves other than tri-leaflet heart valves, including single leaflet heart valves, bi-leaflet heart valves or valves having more than three leaflets.
