The invention relates to a stator vane device for guiding the flow of a fluid flowing out of an outlet opening of a heart support system. The invention also relates to a heart support system with a stator vane device, to a method for operating a stator vane device, and to a manufacturing method for manufacturing a stator vane device. The invention moreover relates to a computer program and to a machine-readable storage medium on which the computer program is stored.
For cardiovascular support of patients having heart failure, systems, so-called ventricular assist devices (VADs), which take over part or all of the pumping function of the heart can be used. These systems can be subdivided into temporary systems for short-term heart support, e.g., to bridge the time until a suitable donor heart is available and can be implanted, and permanent systems for long-term retention on or in the patient. One component of such a system can be a pump for pumping a blood stream, typically a centrifugal pump (turbo pump), which can be driven by an integrated electric motor and can produce the required blood flow by means of an impeller. In this case, the pump can be implanted at different locations: The pump can be sutured to the heart from the outside by means of an invasive surgery, a sternotomy, or the pump can be placed transfemorally or transaortally into the aorta and completely or partially into the ventricle in a minimally invasive manner by means of a catheter. In the case of a pump that can be introduced in a minimally invasive manner, the maximum possible outer diameter of the pump may be limited to allow transfemoral or transaortic insertion of the pump, which is why the pump may have an axial design. The pump can pump the blood stream from the ventricle into the aorta and deliver it there. This can lead to total pressure losses and thus to a reduced pump efficiency due to a cross-sectional jump of the pump in relation to the aorta. Furthermore, a velocity component can be applied to the blood flow by the impeller in the circumferential direction, i.e., an angular momentum or a swirl component, wherein the energy contained in this swirl component is without effect and thus not usable for pressure build-up.
The object of the invention is to influence the flow of a fluid in which a heart support system is located. It is in particular an object of the invention to influence the flow of the blood in a blood vessel in which a heart support system is arranged. The object of the invention is also to optimize the efficiency of a pump in a heart support system.
These objects are achieved by the stator vane device specified herein for guiding the flow of a fluid flowing out of an outlet opening of a heart support system and the heart support system specified herein with a stator vane device. Advantageous embodiments and further developments described herein also relate to a method for operating a stator vane device and to a manufacturing method for manufacturing a stator vane device.
The invention is based on the knowledge that it is possible by means of a suitable stator vane device to change the flow behavior of a fluid flowing out of an outlet opening of a heart support system. By means of the stator vane device, an angular momentum in the flow of the fluid applied by an impeller of a pump of the heart support system can advantageously be reduced. In addition, the angular momentum can be partially converted into pressure energy, which can advantageously increase the efficiency of the pump.
Presented is a stator vane device for guiding the flow of a fluid flowing out of an outlet opening of a heart support system. The stator vane device has at least one stator vane. The at least one stator vane can be connected to the heart support system and arranged in the region of the outlet opening. In addition, the at least one stator vane is formed such that it can be folded together to take an insertion state of the heart support system and can be unfolded to take a flow guiding state. The at least one stator vane is designed to project radially or obliquely from the heart support system in the flow guiding state.
The stator vane device can, for example, have a fixing device for fixing the stator vane device to the heart support system, or the stator vane device can, for example, be formed as part of a pump housing section of the heart support system. The at least one stator vane can, for example, have a blade-shaped guide surface. The term “guiding the flow” can be understood to mean, for example, adjusting a flow behavior, e.g., by steering the fluid along a surface, e.g., in the form of the at least one stator vane. The heart support system can, for example, be a heart pump, such as a right ventricular support system, a left ventricular support system, a biventricular support system, or a vascular or valve prosthesis. For minimally invasive transfemoral or transaortic insertion, the heart support system can, for example, have an elongated, cylindrical shape with an outer diameter of 5 to 8 millimeters. The outlet opening can, for example, be arranged in the region of an impeller of a blood pump of the heart support system. The outlet opening can, for example, be arranged in a section of a pump housing of the heart support system and be cut or punched out of said section. The fluid can, for example, be blood that can be pumped by means of the heart support system. The insertion state of the heart support system can, for example, describe a state into which the heart support system can be transferred for insertion into a blood vessel; for this purpose, the heart support system can, for example, have a cylindrical shape with an outer diameter that is below the diameter of a human aorta. In the insertion state, the stator vane device can, for example, be foldable together axially of a longitudinal axis of the heart support system. By unfolding the at least one stator vane, the stator vane device can, for example, be transferred from the insertion state into the flow guiding state when the heart support system is implanted at the destination and ready for operation. For this purpose, the stator vane can, for example, open to project radially or obliquely from the heart support system in the flow guiding state. In the flow guiding state, the stator vane can also open to project obliquely, e.g., at a certain spatially variable angle to the radius. In this case, the inclination angle of the stator vane can have a radial and a tangential component.
According to one embodiment, the stator vane device can be formed at least partially from a shape memory material. For this purpose, the at least one stator vane can, for example, be made of a shape memory material or the stator vane can have a support structure which is formed from the shape memory material and dilapidated with another material, such as silicone or polyurethane. The shape memory material can, for example, be a shape memory polymer or a shape memory alloy, such as nitinol. It is furthermore also possible for the entire stator vane device to be made of a shape memory alloy, e.g., nitinol. Due to its shape memory properties, the use of a shape memory material, such as nitinol, allows particularly simple realization of the insertion state and the unfolding during the transition into the flow guiding state. The use of nitinol as a shape memory material is advantageous since the nitinol material is a proven material in medicine, in particular in the field of cardiovascular medicine, e.g., for heart valve prostheses, stents, and vascular prostheses, because due to its shape memory property, it is possible to deliver even complex structures in a small installation space to the destination and to place them there.
The stator vane device according to one embodiment can furthermore be formed at least partially from a biocompatible material. The biocompatible material can be a material in which components of human or animal tissue remain unchanged, in particular non-degenerated, when in contact with this biocompatible material. For example, the biocompatible material can be nitinol or a biocompatible silicone or polyurethane. The forming of at least a part of the stator vane device from a biocompatible material is advantageous with regard to the use of the stator vane device as a device that can, for example, be implanted into a human body in connection with the heart support system.
According to one embodiment, the at least one stator vane can be formed such that it abuts laminarly on the heart support system in the insertion state. For this purpose, the stator vane can be foldable in the direction of the heart support system in the insertion state, for example. In the insertion state, the stator vane can, for example, abut on a pump housing section. This allows a compact design and is also advantageous in order to be able to, for example, introduce the stator vane device with the heart support system into an insertion device, such as a catheter, in order to allow the minimally invasive insertion of the stator vane device or of the heart support system connected to the stator vane device.
In addition, the at least one stator vane can be formed in order to be partially insertable into the outlet opening in the insertion state. For this purpose, the stator vane can, for example, be formed to correspond to the outlet opening at least in sections. If the stator vane device is formed, for example, as a part of a housing section of a heart support system, the housing section can also be cut from a tube, wherein the shape of the at least one stator vane for forming the outlet opening can also be cut into the tube, wherein the stator vane can be folded away from the housing section to open the outlet opening. This embodiment advantageously allows a compact design, which is particularly advantageous with regard to a design suitable for minimally invasive introduction.
According to one embodiment, the stator vane device can also have at least one further stator vane, which can be connected to the heart support system and arranged in the region of the outlet opening. The at least one further stator vane can be formed such that it can be folded together to take an insertion state of the heart support system and can be unfolded to take a flow guiding state. The at least one further stator vane can be designed to project radially or obliquely from the heart support system in the flow guiding state. The at least one further stator vane can be arranged opposite the stator vane, for example. The stator vane device can also have a plurality of stator vanes, which can be equidistantly arranged circumferentially around the heart support system. Depending on the shape of the stator vane and of the outlet opening, the design of the at least one further stator vane can be advantageous with regard to guiding the flow of the outflowing fluid, as a result of which the efficiency of the pump of the heart support system can be increased.
According to one embodiment, the stator vane device can also have a sleeve that is movable with respect to the stator vane and is formed to enclose the stator vane in the insertion state and release the stator vane in order to initiate the transition into the flow guiding state. The sleeve can be a mounting device for maintaining the insertion state, e.g., a tube that encloses the stator vane in the insertion state and thereby presses it against the heart support system. The sleeve can, for example, be formed to be cylindrical and designed such that the stator vane device with the sleeve in the insertion state can be inserted into a commercially available catheter. The sleeve can, for example, be used to hold down the stator vane in the folded-together state and to thereby additionally stabilize it in the insertion state even if the stator vane device is, for example, completely or partially made of a shape memory material.
According to one embodiment, the stator vane device can be detachably connectable or connected to a pump housing section of the heart support system. For this purpose, the stator vane device can have, for example, a fixing device or connecting device for connecting the stator vane device or the at least one stator vane to the pump housing section of the heart support system in a form-fitting manner, which fixing device or connecting device can be detached mechanically or as a result of the forming from a shape memory material. This embodiment is cost-saving in order to be able to replace the stator vane device independently of the pump housing, for example, or to be able to change a position of the stator vane with respect to the pump housing section.
A heart support system with an embodiment of the aforementioned stator vane device is also presented. In particular, the stator vane device can be designed as part of a pump housing of the heart support system, which is advantageous with respect to the design.
With this approach, a method for operating an embodiment of the aforementioned stator vane device is also presented. The method has a step of unfolding the at least one stator vane during the transition from the insertion state into the flow guiding state, wherein the at least one stator vane projects radially or obliquely from the heart support system in the flow guiding state.
A manufacturing method for manufacturing an embodiment of the aforementioned stator vane device comprises a step of providing the stator vane device with at least one stator vane. The at least one stator vane can be connected to a heart support system and arranged in the region of an outlet opening of the heart support system. The at least one stator vane is formed such that it can be folded together to take an insertion state of the heart support system and can be unfolded to take a flow guiding state. The at least one stator vane can project radially or obliquely from the heart support system in the flow guiding state, wherein the stator vane device is in particular designed as part of a pump housing of the heart support system.
This method can, for example, be implemented in software or hardware or in a mixed form of software and hardware in a control device, for example.
A computer program product or computer program having program code which can be stored on a machine-readable carrier or storage medium, such as a semiconductor memory, a hard drive memory, or optical memory, and is used to carry out, implement, and/or control the steps of the methods according to one of the embodiments described above is also advantageous, in particular if the program product or program is executed on a computer or a device.
Exemplary embodiments of the approach presented here are shown in the drawings and explained in more detail in the following description. The drawings show:
In the following description of favorable exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the same or similar reference signs are used for the elements that are shown in the various figures and have a similar effect, wherein a repeated description of these elements is omitted.
The stator vane device 105 has at least one stator vane 115. The at least one stator vane 115 can be connected to the heart support system 100. In addition, the at least one stator vane 115 can be arranged in the region of the outlet opening 110 of the heart support system 100. The at least one stator vane 115 is formed such that it can be folded together to take an insertion state of the heart support system 100 and can be unfolded to take a flow guiding state. In the flow guiding state, the at least one stator vane 115 projects radially or obliquely from the heart support system 100. The stator vane device 105 is shown here by way of example in the flow guiding state; accordingly, the stator vane 115 is unfolded and projects radially from the heart support system 100. Shown here by way of example are two stator vanes 115 which are arranged opposite one another in the unfolded state. Alternatively, the stator vane 115 can also project obliquely from the heart support system 100 at an acute or obtuse angle to the radius of the heart support system 100. In this case, an inclination angle of the stator vane 115 can have a radial and a tangential component. According to the exemplary embodiment shown here, a plane of the stator vane 115 extends in the direction of a longitudinal extension axis of the heart support system 100.
The heart support system 100 has a cylindrical, elongated structure with a substantially constant outer diameter and rounded, tapered ends for easy positioning by means of a catheter in a blood vessel, e.g., the aorta. The elongated axial design shown here allows transfemoral implantation of the heart support system 100, wherein the outer diameter of the heart support system 100 is limited in the inserted state by the diameter of the femoral artery in the region of the implantation site. In the following, the heart support system 100 is also referred to as pump 100 in short.
The pump 100 has an impeller 120, which is formed as an axial-flow impeller with respect to a longitudinal axis of the pump 100. The impeller 120 is arranged in a pump housing section 135 of the heart support system 100 between an inlet tube 125 with an inlet opening 126 for introducing the fluid to be conveyed and a section, comprising a drive device 130, of the heart support system 100. The impeller 120 can be rotated about an axis of rotation 122 parallel to the longitudinal direction of the pump housing section 135. The impeller 120 is enclosed by the pump housing section 135, which has a lateral surface, arranged coaxially to the axis of rotation 122 of the impeller 120, with the outlet opening 110, which lateral surface is interrupted by the outlet opening 110. The fluid, e.g., blood, to be conveyed by the heart support system 100 can be introduced through the inlet opening 126 of the inlet tube 125 and discharged through the outlet opening 110 installed on the circumference of the pump housing section 135 in order to be returned to the aorta in the implanted state of the heart support system 100. The pump housing section 135 has here, by way of example, two window-like outlet openings 110.
According to one exemplary embodiment, the stator vane device 105 is formed at least partially from a shape memory material and, additionally or alternatively, at least partially from a biocompatible material. In addition, according to one exemplary embodiment, the stator vane device 105 can be detachably connectable or connected to the pump housing section 135 of the heart support system.
According to one exemplary embodiment, the heart support system 100 has the stator vane device 105 as part of a pump housing of the heart support system 100, e.g., as part of the pump housing section 135.
For minimally invasive insertion, the pump 100 has a significantly smaller outer diameter than the aorta, into which the blood flows out in the implanted state during operation of the heart support system 100, as shown schematically with reference to the following
The at least one stator vane 115 projects in a flow guiding state from the lateral surface of the pump housing section 135. In the flow guiding state, the at least one stator vane 115 can project from the lateral surface of the pump housing section 135 in a direction which has a direction component parallel and a direction component perpendicular to a radial direction with respect to the axis of rotation 122 of the impeller 120. The at least one stator vane 115 can be parallel to the axis of rotation 122 of the impeller 120. However, the at least one stator vane 115 can in principle also extend obliquely to the axis of rotation 122 of the impeller 120.
The guiding of the flow achieved by means of the unfolded stator vane 115 in the flow guiding state of the stator vane device 105 allows the increased efficiency of the pump 100. In this case, the blood is fed from the ventricle through the inlet tube 125 to the active pump part, inter alia to the impeller 120. The impeller 120 is partially enclosed on the outside by the pump housing section 135, which has the outlet opening 110 and is, by way of example, cylindrical here. According to the exemplary embodiment shown here, the pump housing section 135 also has the bars 140, also called struts. The at least one stator vane 115 is arranged in the region of the outlet opening 110 or the bars 140. The at least one stator vane 115 is flexible, foldable, and unfoldable. The stator vane 115 can be folded together to take the insertion state, and the stator vane 115 can be unfolded to take the flow guiding state, as shown with reference to the following
For taking the insertion state and the flow guiding state, the stator vane device 105 and, additionally or alternatively, the entire pump housing section 135 with the stator vane device 105 is, according to one exemplary embodiment, formed from nitinol, a biocompatible shape memory alloy, in order to fold the at least one stator vane 115 to a small diameter.
According to one exemplary embodiment, the stator vane device 105 comprises a sleeve as a mounting device in order to be maintained in this folded state at this small diameter by an additional mounting device, e.g., by a tube. The sleeve is movable with respect to the stator vane 115 and is formed in order to enclose the stator vane 115 in the insertion state and to release the stator vane 115 in order to initiate the transition into the flow guiding state. If the stator vane is formed from nitinol according to one exemplary embodiment, the at least one stator vane 115 unfolds to the desired unfolded state, i.e., to the flow guiding state, by the influence of body heat after implantation of the heart support system 100 and removal of the additional mounting device. Optionally, the entire stator vane 115 is in this case not formed from nitinol but consists only partially of nitinol in the form of a support structure which is made of nitinol and filled with another material, such as a silicone or polyurethane.
According to the exemplary embodiment shown here, the stator vane device 105 comprises the stator vane 115 and at least one further stator vane 115′, which can be connected to the heart support system 100 and arranged in the region of the outlet opening and is formed such that it can be folded together to take the insertion state of the heart support system 100 and can be unfolded to take the flow guiding state. In the flow guiding state shown here, the at least one further stator vane 115′, like the stator vane 115, projects radially from the heart support system 100, i.e., it projects radially from the lateral surface of the pump housing section 135 that is coaxial to the axis of rotation 122 of the impeller 120.
The heart support system 100 has a significantly smaller outer diameter than the blood vessel in which it can be arranged, i.e., the aorta 205. This is shown here by the marking 210, which marks the outer diameter of the heart support system, and the marking 215, which marks the diameter of the aorta. When blood flows out of the outlet opening of the heart support system 100 into the aorta 205, permanent total pressure losses, and thus reduced pump efficiency, occur without the stator vane device 105 due to the large, abrupt cross-sectional jump; furthermore, a velocity component in the circumferential direction, i.e., a swirl component, is applied to the fluid, the blood, by the impeller. The energy contained in this swirl component is without effect and thus lost. By means of the stator vane 115 and optionally the further stator vane 115′ in the flow guiding state shown here, the described swirl is reduced and converted into pressure energy, which increases the efficiency of the pump.
In the insertion state, the heart support system 100 and the stator vane device 105 have a significantly smaller outer diameter than the diameter of the aorta 205, as shown by the markings 210 and 215. This is advantageous for the minimally invasive insertion of the heart support system 100 and the stator vane device 105.
Optionally, the at least one stator vane 115 is formed such that it abuts laminarly in the insertion state, as shown here by way of example by the further stator vane 115′. The stator vane 115′ abuts on the pump housing of the heart support system 100 and does not significantly increase the outer diameter 210 of the heart support system 100 in the folded-together state. According to the exemplary embodiment shown here, the at least one stator vane 115 is additionally formed such that it can be partially inserted into the outlet opening in the insertion state, as shown by way of example by the stator vane 115. The described shapes of the stator vane 115 and of the further stator vane 115′ offer the advantage that they nestle closely against the pump housing of the heart support system 100 in the folded state or, additionally or alternatively, at least partially lay in the outlet opening and thus allow minimally invasive implantation. The stator vane 115 and the further stator vane 115′ are optionally designed as part of the pump housing of the heart support system 100.
If an exemplary embodiment includes an “and/or” conjunction between a first feature and a second feature, this should be read to mean that the exemplary embodiment according to one embodiment has both the first feature and the second feature and according to another embodiment has either only the first feature or only the second feature.
