    DESCRIPTION
    Endoprosthetic device for abdominal aorta in patients TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention relates to an endoprosthetic device for abdominal aorta in patients, which is located within the medical sector, in the cardiovascular area.
    The main purpose of the invention is to have an internal prosthesis for patients suffering from infrarenal aortoiliac or abdominal aortic aneurysms, whose main objective is to provide a permanent alternative conduit for the blood flow of a patient within the vascular system of this, by isolating the lesion from blood flow and pressure; where said device is perfectly adaptable and insertable in any type of patient regardless of its complexion, shape and size of its internal organs; that ensures a correct placement and operation, and that additionally supposes a quantifiable improvement in comparison with the state of the existing art, where said improvement affects both the work of the operator himself during the placement of this, and in the patient to ensure a Short operation time, and an increase in durability and absence of failure guarantees unknown to date.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    By way of introduction, it is known the use and existence of endoprotic devices for abdominal aorta in patients, which are generally formed by a flexible and deformable tubular body that adapts to the abdominal aorta artery area of the patient; Thus, when a patient suffers an injury such as an infrarenal aortoiliac or abdominal aortic aneurysm, this type of endoprosthetic device is placed at the level of the infrarenal abdominal aorta reaching both iliac arteries, achieving a new alternative "conduit" for the blood flow flow, and where, thanks to this alternative conduit, the patient avoids aneurysm complications, such as their rupture, which in most cases causes fatal consequences before arriving at the hospital, or in the case of time to reach a hospital environment with a complication of aneurysm, the solution of it.

    The abdominal aorta distally bifurcates into two main branches that are the iliac arteries (in the form of an inverted “Y”), which when they reach the inguinal region continue with the femoral arteries.
    When there is a need to place an abdominal aortic endoprotesis, it usually goes from the infrarenal abdominal aorta, to both iliac arteries. Said endoprotesis, can be constituted by a main deformable tubular body and two branches that are inserted into the iliac arteries in order to guarantee the blood flow. Part of said implantation is performed by advancing the device through the lumen of the vessel from one of the femoral arteries, until it reaches the abdominal aorta. Another part of the procedure is performed from the contralateral femoral artery.
    To proceed with the implantation of the device, it cannot be completely introduced from one of the femoral bodies with the tubular body and the two iliac branches (ipsilateral and contralateral). For this reason, the endoprosthetic devices currently used are divided into at least two independent bodies:
    - A first tubular body that has two lower branches, where one of them has the length, a priori, desired for one of the branches (the ipsilateral); Y
    - a contralateral branch of much shorter length compared to the first of the branches.
    The procedure of placing this tubular body plus the two branches, one of small length and the other of greater length, begins by first introducing a metal guide that goes from the patient's femoral artery to the aorta, and on it the device in ascending direction continuing with the ipsilateral iliac artery, until reaching the infrarenal abdominal aorta, thus deploying the tubular body from the infrarenal abdominal aorta to the ipsilateral iliac artery (where the longest branch is housed), defining a first path of bloody flow step on that side. Subsequently, there is a second tubular shaped body, which has a unique inlet and outlet, and is designed to engage the short branch of the first tubular body. Said body is introduced through a guide that has to be previously placed in the internal lumen of the femoral artery on that side (the contralateral), which continues to ascend to the iliac artery on that side, and which has to be introduced through of the short branch of the endoprotesis that has previously been introduced from the other side. With all this process, the second body is advanced, and it is coupled, to the free end of the short branch of the

    first tubular body; increasing, therefore, the length of said short branch, and defining a second path of blood flow, leaving the endoprotesis adapted to the interior of the vessels from the abdominal aorta to both iliac arteries as a "pant."
    But this solution, although it is the most used at present, has a great inconvenience, mainly due to the difficulty of placing the second tubular body, since said body advances on a guide that has to be previously placed and introduced through the hole of the short branch of the first modular body. That is to say; the first tubular body, is like an "incomplete pants" or with a "munon on one side" and one of the technical difficulties is to introduce the guide in said "munon" or short branch that serves as support to place the second tubular body . This added difficulty lengthens the time of the operation, increases the exposure time, since the entire procedure is guided by X-rays. In some cases, where it is done in emergency conditions, this delay can have vital consequences.
    That is why, in view of this limiting step previously referred to and associated with the difficulty of canalization with the metal guide of the short branch of endoprosthetic devices currently used, the appearance of a new endoprosthetic device for abdominal aorta is necessary. in patients capable of solving said inconvenience, so as to provide a permanent alternative conduit for the blood flow of a patient within its vascular system, which is adaptable and insertable in any type of patient regardless of its complexion, shape and size of its internal organs; guaranteeing correct placement and operation, and reducing the time spent on it compared to the state of the art currently known, improving the reproducibility of the technique.
    DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention relates to an endoprosthetic device for abdominal aorta in patients, which comprises a deformable tubular body that branches into two tubular branches, allowing the circulation of blood flow from an upper end towards the ends of the two tubular branches; where a first tubular branch has a length less than a second tubular branch of the tubular body; and where the upper end of the tubular body has fixation means with the abdominal aorta artery of the patient; from

    such that the open end of the first branch of smaller length has a conical geometry divergent towards the exit of said first branch; and said conical geometry configured to facilitate the coupling of a second deformable tubular body in order to extend the length of said first tubular branch.
    It is observed, therefore, that the endoprosthetic device for abdominal aorta object of the invention presents, first of all, a series of technical characteristics known in the state of the art, and linked to the tubular body that branches into two branches, thus presenting one entrance and two exits, and where one of the branches is shorter than the other, so that it allows placement and positioning in the patient during the corresponding surgical operation. But a new technical characteristic is added and referred to that the free end of the shorter branch, defined as the first branch, presents a divergent conical geometry, clarifying that said divergence is shaped to increase the surface and channel more easily with the metal guide that It will serve as support to advance the second tubular body. Thus, said conical geometry has as its main objective to facilitate the coupling of a second deformable tubular body on said first branch.
    Said solution has another series of advantages, since it may be the case that the end of the first branch does not expand during the deployment of the tubular body and the second branch; and therefore, when not unfolding, it is very complicated to be able to couple the second tubular body to the first branch; and similarly, the aorta may not be dilated, and therefore hindering access for said coupling. Additionally, the conical geometry implies an elongation of the short branch, with respect to the state of the known art, again assuming an improvement in the face of the coupling of the second tubular body to the first branch; where said increase in length must be such that it does not hinder the location of the tubular body and its respective branches in the patient himself.
    In relation to how the endoprosthetic device for abdominal aorta is formed and manufactured in patients object of the invention, and due to the existence of said conical geometry, the preferred option is contemplated in which the conical geometry of the end of said first tubular branch presents a recess in correspondence with the outer geometry of the second tubular branch; and said recess configured to adapt said conical geometry to the outer contour of the second tubular branch.

    That is, the conical geometry itself has a recess that reproduces part of the outer contour of the second branch of the tubular body; in this way, there is no surface interference during manipulation or fabrication; and where said reduction does not imply a significant decrease in terms of the advantages that the conic geometry itself has. Where, in a habitual way, the recess presents a curved contour with constant radius to reproduce exactly the arc of circumference associated with the second branch of the bifurcation of the tubular body.
    So that the operator can position the second tubular body with respect to the first branch of the tubular body, the possibility is contemplated in which in the vicinity of said conical geometry of the end of said first tubular branch, at least one configured radiopaque mark is presented to define the coupling point of the second deformable tubular body with respect to the first tubular branch. So that mark allows visualization from the outside, and guarantees the correct positioning and subsequent coupling of the second tubular body in the first bar, of smaller length, of the first tubular body. Clarifying that the first tubular body refers, at all times, to the tubular body that presents the bifurcation in two branches, one of smaller length and another of greater length.
    It may be the case that a third tubular body is to be coupled to the second branch, of greater length, of the first tubular body; in this sense, the option is described in which the open end of the second branch of greater length has a conical geometry divergent towards the exit of said second branch; and said conical geometry configured to facilitate the coupling of said third deformable tubular body in order to extend the length of said first tubular branch. Obtaining the same advantages referred to the conic geometry existing in the first branch of smaller length of the first tubular body; and being a perfectly feasible realization during the manufacturing and assembly of the endoprosthetic device for abdominal aorta object of the invention.
    It should be noted that, in an alternative application to the abdominal aorta, the device object of the invention can be used as a prolongation of endoprotesis at the level of thoracic aorta, presenting the same technical characteristics of the device for abdominal aorta, and also describing the option in which the distal open end of the first placed endoprotesis has a divergent conical geometry to

    facilitating the coupling of a second deformable tubular body in order to extend the length of said first tubular branch.
    As for the preferred dimensions of the conical geometry located at the free end of the first branch, it can have a cone height of 5mm; with a conical segment length of 10 mm (except the area adjacent to the other branch, with a circular notch); and the angle between the cone generatrix and the axis of symmetry is 60 °; being an example of preferred realization.
    Likewise, and in relation to the fixing means of said tubular body with the abdominal aortic artery of the patient, these can comprise, at their upper end and opposite to the ends of the tubular branches, a plurality of retractable fastening hooks, configured to come into contact with the patient's abdominal aortic artery. So that said retractable hooks are deployed at the will of the operator, and once they are correctly positioned in said abdominal aortic artery.
    Finally, the preferred choice of materials of the endoprosthetic device for abdominal aorta object of the invention is contemplated, in which the deformable tubular body, together with the two associated tubular branches, is formed by a Nitinol® wire sewn to a flexible prosthetic fabric with non-absorbable sutures; being a widely used and known solution, and that guarantees great comfort and hygiene towards the patient; as well as excellent manipulation and commissioning by the operator.
    Thus, with the proposed invention an endoprosthetic device for abdominal aorta is obtained in patients perfect to provide a permanent alternative conduit for the blood flow of a patient within its vascular system, being flexible, adaptable and insertable in any type of patient with independence of its complexion and form and size of its internal organs; and that thanks to the conical geometry of the branch of shorter length, a fast and correct placement and operation in comparison with the state of the art known today is guaranteed; and all this with a device formed by simple entities, industrially applicable and that solves the main drawback and referred to the difficulty of coupling a second tubular body in the short branch of the first tubular body.
