Technical Field

Background
With the development of socioeconomic and the aging of population, the incidence rate of valvular heart disease is obviously increased, and researches show that the incidence rate of valvular heart disease of the old people over 75 years old is up to 13.3%. At present, the traditional surgical treatment is still the first treatment method for patients with severe valvular diseases, but for the patients with advanced age, complicated multiple organ diseases, chest-open operation history and poor cardiac function, the traditional surgical treatment has high risk and high death rate, and some patients even have no operation chance.
Transcatheter heart valve replacement has the advantages of no need of thoracotomy, small wound, quick recovery of patients and the like, and is widely concerned by experts and scholars. In heart valve replacement surgery, precise release of the prosthetic valve is required. Due to the complex anatomy of the human body, prosthetic valves are often designed with irregular shapes. For example, to achieve anchoring of the prosthetic valve, it is designed to conform to the shape of the anatomy, and the cross-section of the stent is designed to be D-shaped, polygonal, etc. In order to allow for accurate delivery of an irregular cross-section prosthetic valve to an anatomical site, a long delivery system time is required. The traditional conveying system is generally designed in a spiral manner, and the retraction and release of the valve are realized by adopting a sheath-tube integrated design; the same valve requires a longer valve to be taken into the capsule, while releasing the valve requires a longer time to operate; in addition, because heart chambers of different valve positions and different pathological conditions are different in size, when the size of the conveying system is not matched with the heart chamber of a patient, the apparatus is easy to cause heart injury, and even the patient can not perform an operation.
