Abstract: The present application discloses a surgical apparatus for aneurysms comprising: a stent, a delivery guide wire, an introducer sheath and a microcatheter, wherein: the stent is a self-expanding stent; the delivery guide wire outside of which the stent is restrained to is provided in a lumen of the introducer sheath; the introducer sheather is connected with the microcatheter, with lumnes communicating, to form a passageway through which the delivery guide wire and the stent are delivered into a human body. The surgical apparatus for aneurysms provided in the examples of the present application is able to deliver and release the stent which has high density and is super soft to a vascular lesion. A lattice structure of the stent is of high coverage at the vascular lesion such that the stent released into the vessel prodeces the same effects as healing of parent vessel, and thus improves the treatment of vascular aneurysms.

Abstract: A medical guide wire comprises a metal core (1), a coil (2), a delivery element (3) and a boss (4). The metal core (1) has a variable-diameter structure, which consists of a linear structure (1-3), a stepped structure (1-2) and a linear structure (1-1) from a proximal end to a distal end. The number of the coil (2) is one or more, and the coil(s) is/are fixed on the linear structure (1-1) and the stepped structure (1-2) at the distal end of the metal core (1). The number of the delivery element (3) is one or more, and the delivery element(s) is/are fixed to the stepped structure (1-2) of the metal core (1). The boss (4) is fixed on the stepped structure (1-2) of the metal core (1) behind the delivery element (3).

Abstract: An invasive cardiac valve comprises a tubular stent (1) and a valve (2). One end of the tubular stent (1) is of a frusto-conical structure, the other end is wide open, and the diameter of the open end is greater than the diameter of the frusto-conical end. The valve (2) is attached to the frusto-conical end of the tubular stent (1); and a delivery and retrieval hole (4) of the cardiac valve is provided at the top of the open end of the tubular stent (1). Because the diameter of the open end is greater than the diameter of the frusto-conical end, the cardiac valve can be effectively fixed in a position of aortic annulus to prevent the cardiac valve displacement caused by the impact of the blood flow. Because the valve (2) is attached to the frusto-conical end of the tubular stent (1), the valve (2) can totally avoid the left and right coronary ostia and does not affect the haemodynamics of the coronary artery.

The method comprising the steps of: 1) capturing an image of the grooves or holes of the medical appliance, wherein the image contains at least one complete pattern of the grooves or holes; 2) performing digital image processing on the captured image to obtain the pattern of the grooves or holes; 3) calculating a central position of the pattern of the grooves or holes, and determining an actual central position of the grooves or holes based on the central position; 4) adjusting a relative position of a loading device to the medical appliance to align an outlet of the loading device with the actual central position of the grooves or holes; and 5) opening the outlet of the loading device to load the grooves or holes. A device for loading a medical appliance with a medicament and/or a polymer is further disclosed.

Abstract: A delivery system for a branched stent graft comprises a double-layer sheath (3, 13) containing the stent graft and a towing and releasing mechanism which tows and releases the stent graft from the double-layer sheath (3, 13). After being bound, a stent main body (8) and a stent branch (11) of the stent graft are movably and entirely positioned within the double-layer sheath (3, 13). The stent main body (8) is connected with a control guiding assembly and is towed and released by the control guiding assembly. The stent branch (11) is towed by a branch guiding assembly and is connected with the control guiding assembly, so as to be released by the control guiding assembly.

Abstract: A branched stent graft comprises a main body portion and a branch portion. Each of the main body portion and the branch portion includes a stent and a tubular graft. The stent of the main body portion includes a plurality of stent segments, at least one of which is a varying-height stent segment (102). The stent of the branch portion includes one or more stent segments, at least one of which is a varying-height stent segment (103). The distance between the proximal-most stent segment of the branch portion and the main body portion is in the range of 2-8 mm. A positioning ring (105) may be used at a side opening which connects the branch portion and the main body portion, and the positioning ring (105) can be sutured inside the graft of the main body, between the graft of the main body and the graft of the branch, or outside the graft of the branch.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a coronary artery vascular stent with drug carrying slots (2), comprising a plurality of main supporting unit rings (1,8) and connecting rods (4,6). Said main supporting unit rings comprise a plurality of unit waves. There are drug carrying slots (2) at the outer surface of the rods of said unit waves, characterized in that the total slot length of the drug carrying slots (2) is 60%-75% of the total wave rod length of the main supporting unit rings (1,8).

Abstract: An artificial stent and its preparation method. The artificial stent comprises a stent body and a coating on it. The artificial stent is characterized in that the coating comprises a drug-loaded layer containing silk fibroin and a drug. The drug-loaded layer has a microporous structure substantially consists of silk fibroin and loaded with the drug. The microporous structure is obtained by a method comprising: uniformly coating the surface of the stent body with a solution of silk fibroin, denaturing by heat or chemical reagents; soaking the stent with purified water; then freeze drying and warming-drying, so as to from a microporous structure of the coating; loading the drug into the micropores in the coating; and removing the stent and drying. Silk fibroin used to coat the stent is a natural bio-material with great bio-compatibility; an can be absorbed and metabolized slowly by human body without adverse side effects, overcoming certain adverse effects of conventional drug-coated stents.
