Background technology
In recent years, interventional therapy has become the main flow treatment means of coronary heart disease, and implanting coronary artery bracket is the important component part of interventional therapy.What use clinically at present mainly is permanent stents, and the material of permanent stents mainly is nondegradable 316L rustless steel and Co-Cr alloy.Though permanent stents has solved acute closed, the at a specified future date thrombosis problem of the postoperative blood vessel of percutaneous coronary endoluminal vascular plasty (PTCA), but support has brought problems such as subacute stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis after implanting thereupon, and the needs of patients of implant frame is taken the medicine of anti-platelet aggregation for a long time.For solving the in-stent restenosis problem, bracket for eluting medicament begins to be widely used in clinical treatment.Yet clinical research finds that bracket for eluting medicament is because the long-term existence of non-degradable metal rack to the long-time stimulus of peripheral vessels tissue, makes myocardial infarction and advanced thrombus incidence rate raise.The research and development of degradable coronary artery bracket are expected to solve above-mentioned problems.
The degradable coronary artery bracket should be able to retentivity be learned the integrity of performance in can 12 months after implantation, and the ferrum of progressively degrading fully again after blood vessel is finished reconstruction.At present, the investigation of materials of degradable coronary artery bracket mainly concentrates on and is divided into macromolecular material, magnesium alloy and ferrous alloy.The mechanical property performance of macromolecular material also far can not reach present clinical mechanical property level with coronary artery bracket; Magnesium alloy not only degradation speed is too fast, can't satisfy the requirement to the coronary artery bracket degradation speed, and its plasticity is relatively poor, is difficult to satisfy the requirement of large scale coronary artery bracket to plasticity.Ferrous alloy is comparatively active under the body fluid environment, has lower electrode potential, easily corrodes in the environment in vivo, thereby realizes degraded in vivo.Ferrous alloy is subjected to people's attention gradually with its good mechanical performance, biocompatibility and degradable in vivo performance, is expected to become degradable coronary artery bracket material of new generation.Ferrous alloy can further improve the mechanical property of alloy by alloying, satisfy the mechanical property requirements of coronary artery bracket, and ferrous alloy is opaque to X ray, makes things convenient for the observation in the implantation process, the part ferrous alloy is nonmagnetic, has good MRI compatibility.
Ferrous alloy starts from the beginning of this century as the research of degradable coronary artery bracket material, even will be early than the research of magnesium alloy coronary artery bracket.Calendar year 2001, Peuster etc. attempt as degradable coronary artery bracket material pure iron the earliest.Afterwards, the medical worker has proceeded a series of zoopery, shows that pure iron is reliable as degradable coronary artery bracket material safety, laboratory animal is not produced obvious toxic-side effects.
With respect to other degradable coronary artery bracket material, ferrous alloy has than remarkable advantages.But because at present ferrous alloy degradation speed in vivo is relatively slow, also can't satisfy clinically, therefore hinder the clinical practice of iron-based degradable coronary artery bracket the degradation time requirement of degradable coronary artery bracket.
In order to improve the degradation speed of iron-based degradable coronary artery bracket, material supplier author has carried out a series of research work, and wherein the ferrous alloy of the low corrosion potential of exploitation is trial the earliest, and the Fe-Mn series alloy of developing with people such as Hermanwan is main representative.After this, having occurred adding precious metal element in succession and formed intermetallic compound to increase galvanic corrosion tendency, preparation ultra-fine grain alloy with the new approaches that improve the ferrous alloy degradation speed etc., serve as mainly to represent with the ultra-fine grain pure iron of people such as the Fe-Mn-Pd alloy of people such as Schinhammer exploitation, Moravej by the electrochemical deposition preparation respectively.But from present experimental result, the degradation speed of new alloy in simulated body fluid do not have substantial raising with respect to pure iron, still can not satisfy the requirement of intravascular stent to material degradation speed.Owing to be accompanied by two processes of oxygen uptake corrosion and liberation of hydrogen corrosion in the ferrous alloy degradation process, and for the ferrous alloy in particular solution, its the highest oxygen uptake corrosion rate is a definite value, thereby by increasing very difficult realization of approach that the oxygen uptake corrosion rate improves the ferrous alloy degradation speed.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of degradable coronary artery bracket and preparation method thereof, the method of the liberation of hydrogen corrosion rate by improving ferrous alloy improves the corrosion rate of ferrous alloy in the Human Physiology environment, thereby realize improving the purpose of the degradation speed of ferrous alloy in physiological environment, its specific implementation method is: in ferrous alloy surface preparation degradable macromolecule coating, improve the liberation of hydrogen corrosion rate of ferrous alloy by the acidic micro-environment of this polymeric coating layer degraded generation.
A kind of degradable coronary artery bracket provided by the invention is characterized in that: this coronary artery bracket is matrix with the iron, and matrix surface covers one deck degradable macromolecule coating;
Wherein, contain ester bond (COO-) in the described degradable macromolecule coating material.
