A conveyor and a conveyor system are provided. The conveyor comprises a lumen assembly and a self-locking mechanism connected to the lumen assembly, wherein the lumen assembly comprises an inner core tube, a recovery sheath movably surrounding the inner core tube, and an outer sheath movably surrounding the recovery sheath; the self-locking mechanism is connected to the recovery sheath; and the outer sheath can move relative to the inner core tube in an axial direction of the conveyor. The self-locking mechanism has a self-locked state and an unlocked state, wherein when the self-locking mechanism is in the unlocked state, the recovery sheath can move relative to the inner core tube in the axial direction of the conveyor; and when the self-locking mechanism is in the self-locked state, the recovery sheath maintains stationary relative to the inner core tube.

Conveyor and conveyor system

An intervention guidance device () includes a main body portion () and a guidance portion (). The guidance portion () has a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration. In the expanded configuration, the guidance portion () has a central area () and a closed outer edge (). In the contracted configuration, the outer edge () is farther away from the main body portion () than the central area (), and the guidance portion () is restorable from the contracted configuration to the expanded configuration. In the intervention guidance device (), the radial dimension of the guidance portion () is larger than the distance between the chordae tendineae, so that an effective access path that does not cross the chordae tendineae can be established, the subsequent implantation of a heart valve prosthesis does not pass through the chordae tendineae, and the success rate of a heart valve prosthesis implantation surgery can be improved.

Intervention guidance device

The present application provides an implantation method of an artificial heart valve. The implantation method can include forming an incision in the left chest to expose the ventricle; advancing a guide wire kept away from chordae tendineaes through the atrium into the ventricle; advancing a guide wire catcher into the ventricle from the incision to pull out the distal end of the guide wire from the ventricle; and advancing the artificial heart valve into the ventricle from the distal end of the guide wire with a valve deliverer, and placing the artificial heart valve at a primary valve between the ventricle and the atrium along the guide wire. The artificial heart valve may avoid the chordae tendineaes in the heart system through the guide wire track during implantation.
