BACKGROUND
Technical Field [0002j The present disclosure generally relates to devices and methods for joining tubular structures via anastomosis. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a compression anastomosis devices and methods of their use in surgical procedures.
Background of Related Art [00031 Compression anastomotic devices have been developed in the past for receiving the free ends of anatomic tubular structures to be anastomosed. An example of such an anastomotic device has been developed by Tyco Healthcare LP, Norwalk, CT., and is currently sold under the trademark VALTRAC . This assembly includes a pair of ring members, each ring member for secureinent to the free end of each tubular structure to be anastomosed. Each ring member has a connecting structure, which mates with the other ring member to connect the ring members to one another. Reference may be made to U.S. Patent No. 4,766,898 to Hardy et al., for a detailed discussion of the construction and operation of such an anastomotic device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[00031] Embodiments of the presently disclosed compression anastomotic device and method will now be described in detail with reference to the drawing figures wherein like reference numerals identify similar or identical elements. As used herein and as is traditional, the term "distal" refers to that portion which is farthest from the user (generally illustrated on the figures as being towards the right) while the term "proximal" refers to that portion which is closest to the user (generally illustrated on the figures as being towards the left).
[00032] In accordance with the present disclosure, an anastomotic device 100 for joining a first tubular structure 200 and a secondtubular structure 300, via anastomotic surgery, is provided. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, anastomotic device 100 generally includes a sleeve 110, an inverting member 120, and a constricting member, such as a spring, 130.
With continued reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, anastomotic device 100 further includes an ejecting member 150 and an approximating rod member 160.
[00033] As shown in FIGS. 1 ¨ 6, the sleeve 110 is generally cylindrical in shape;
however, any other shape is envisioned, such as, for example, ovular, rectangular, etc.
Cylindrical sleeve 110 includes an outer wall 112 defining a bore 114 therethrough. The cylindrical sleeve 110 has a maximum outer diameter D10 and an inner diameter Dli. In an exemplary embodiment, the outer wall 1 12 of the cylindrical sleeve 110 includes a groove or depression 116 formed thereon. As will be described in greater detail below, cylindrical sleeve 110 is initially positioned at least partially within the first tubular structure 200.
Desirably, cylindrical sleeve 110 is positioned entirely within first tubular structure 200.
[00034] As seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, inverting member 120 is configured and dimensioned to cooperate with sleeve 1 10. Accordingly, inverting member 120 desirably has a cylindrical shape. With continued reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, inverting member 120 includes an outer wall 122 defining a bore therethrough 124. The inverting member 120 has an outer diameter D20 and a minimum inner diameter D21. In an exemplary embodiment, the outer diameter D10 of the cylindrical sleeve 110 is smaller than the inner diameter D2i of the inverting member 120. As will be described in greater detail below, inverting member 120 is initially positioned at least partially within the second tubular structure 300. Desirably, inverting member 120 is positioned entirely within second tubular structure 300.
[00035] As seen in FIG. 1, the constricting member 130 is generally ring-like and is positionable around outer wall 122 of inverting member 120. When constricting member 130 is positioned about outer wall 122 of inverting member 120, constricting member 130 is in a biased condition (e.g., radially expanded condition) in which constricting member 130 exerts compressive forces on and/or about outer wall 122 of inverting member 120 (i.e., radially inward directed constricting forces). An exemplary constricting member 130 may take the form of a garter spring or the like_ When positioned on outer wall 122 of inverting member 120, the constricting member 130 has an inner diameter DS which is equal to outer diameter D20 of outer wall 122 of inverting member 120.
[00036] With continued reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, ejecting member 150 includes an outer wall 152 having an outer diameter D30 and a minimum inner diameter D3i.
The inner diameter D3i of outer wall 152 is larger than the outer diameter D20 of outer wall 122 of inverting member 120. The outer diameter D30 is smaller than a diameter DV2 of the second tubular structure 300.
[00037] The ejecting member 150 further includes a proximal surface 154 through which shaft 162 of approximating rod 160 extends. In an exemplary embodiment, a distal-most surface 156 of outer wall 152 is arcuate and/or concave to engage and/or mate with constricting member 130.
[00038] As mentioned above, anastomotic device 100 further includes an approximating rod 160, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. Rod 160 includes a shaft portion 162 and a distal end portion 164. The shaft portion 162 has a diameter DR s which is smaller than the inner diameter D1i of outer wall 112 of cylindrical sleeve 110. Distal end portion 164- of rod 160 has a diameter DR, (or length LRe) which is greater than the inner diameter D1i outer wall 112 of cylindrical sleeve 110. The rod 160 may be initially positioned such that the distal end portion 164 is disposed distal of the cylindrical sleeve 110.
The shaft portion 162 of the rod 160 may extend through the bore 114 of the outer wall 112 of cylindrical sleeve 110, through the bore 124 of the outer wall 122 of inverting member 120, and optionally through the proximal surface 154 of the ejecting member 150.
[00039] It is envisioned for at least the cylindrical sleeve 110, the inverting member 120, and the ejecting member 150 of the anastomotic device 100 to be constructed of a bio-absorbable material. Such components of anastomotic device 100 may be constructed from bio-absorbable polymeric resin such as, for example, a copolymer of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyglycolic acid (PGA). The relative proportion of the components may be chosen to suit the surgical application. For example, under identical processing conditions, PGA is typically the stronger of the two components and more crystalline. However, PGA is more rapidly absorbed by body tissue. Hence, for surgical applications where it is desired to maintain the implant strength over a longer period of time, the fiber will typically contain more PLA. The fibers can be fibers of the type used in manufacturing suture material.
Additionally, several other materials for forming at least one component of the anastomotic device 100 are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,297,033 and are referred to as poly-hydroxyacetic ester and lactide co-polymers, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein. The materials disclosed in the above-referenced patent constitute a partial list of possible materials as molded surgical articles made from a wide range of glycolide/lactide copolymers have been known and utilized for many years.
[00040] With reference to FIGS. 2 - 6, a method of using anastomotic device 100 in a surgical procedure will now be described in detail. Initially referring to FIG. 2, with the cylindrical sleeve 110 positioned on shaft portion 162 of approximating rod 160, cylindrical sleeve 110 and distal end portion 164 of approximating rod 160 are advanced through the lumen of second tubular structure 300 and positioned within the lumen of the first tubular structure 200, using known surgical techniques. Thereafter, a free end 220 of first tubular structure 200 is purse string sutured around shaft portion 162 of approximating rod 160 using a suture 170. In addition, a free end 320 of second tubular structure 300 is purse string sutured around shaft portion 162 of approximating rod 160 using a suture 170.
[00041] The inverting member 120 is then slid over shaft portion 162 of approximating rod 160 and distally through the lumen of the second tubular structure 300.
Desirably, as seen in FIG. 2, the constricting member 130 is positioned around the outer wall 122 of the inverting member 120 prior to the positioning of the inverting member 120 within the lumen of the second tubular structure 300. With the inverting member 120 so positioned, ejecting member 150 is positioned over a proximal end of the shaft portion 162 of the approximating rod 160 and advanced distally into the lumen of the second tubular structure 300 until outer wall 152 of ejecting member 150 is disposed about the outer wall 122 of the inverting member 120.
[00042] To join the first tubular structure 200 with the second tubular structure 300, the rod 160 is pulled proximally relative to inverting member 120 to approximate first tubular structure 200 and second tubular structure 300. Since distal end portion 164 is larger than bore 114 of sleeve 110, proximal movement of the rod 160 pulls cylindrical sleeve 110 towards second tubular structure 300. Continued proximal movement of rod 160 causes the now sutured free end 220 of first tubular structure 200 to contact the now sutured free end 320 of second tubular structure 300 and to push free end 320 of second tubular structure 300 into bore 124 of inverting member 120, as illustrated in FIG. 3. In so doing, as seen in FIG.
4, an outer layer 304 and an inner layer 306 of second tubular structure 300 is created. Here, a portion 302 of second tubular structure 300 is positioned around a portion 202 of first tubular structure 200. As mentioned above, continued proximal movement of the rod 160 and cylindrical sleeve 110 pushes the free end 320 of the second tubular structure 300 within the bore 124 of the inversion structure 120, thus inverting the free end 320 of the second tubular structure 300, as illustrated in FIG. 4.
[00043] Once the free end 320 of the second tubular structure 300 is inverted, such that a proximal end portion of sleeve 110 is positioned within a distal end portion of bore 124 of inverting member 120, ejecting member 150 is advanced distally relative to inverting member 120. Ejecting member 150 is advanced distally an amount sufficient to push constricting member 130 off the distal end of inverting member 120 and onto the proximal end of sleeve 110 thereby constricting first and second tubular structures 200 and 300 onto sleeve 110. Desirably, constricting member 130 settles into groove 116 of cylindrical sleeve 110 and defines a fold 308 in second tubular structure 300.
[00044] As seen in FIG. 4, the constricting forces exerted by the constricting member 130 maintain its location within groove 116 and adjacent the fold 308. The constricting member 130 compresses, constricts or pinches a portion of the second tubular structure 300 and a portion of the first tubular structure 200 about cylindrical sleeve 110.
[00045] In accordance with a method of the present disclosure, rod 160 may be removed by breaking and/or cutting shaft portion 162 along the length thereof or, in the alternative, by separating the head portion 164 from shaft portion 162 using any known surgical technique. In another method, head portion 164 may be fabricated from a substantially rigid, pliable or deflectable material. In this manner, as rod 160 is drawn in a proximal direction relative to cylindrical sleeve 110, head portion 164 will be sufficiently rigid to approximate first and second tubular structures 200 and 300 and be sufficiently pliable in order to deflect or flex an amount sufficient to enter and pass through the bore 114 of cylindrical sleeve 110.
[00046] As seen in FIG. 5, suture 170 and the free ends 220, 320 of the first and second tubular structures 200, 300, respectively, have been surgically removed or excised, = CA 02583590 2012-06-07 using known surgical techniques. As can be appreciated, bodily fluids and the like can now pass from the first tubular structure 200 to the second tubular structure 300, or vice versa.
[00047] As seen in FIG. 6, constricting member 130 radially constricts first and second tubular structures 200 and 300 about sleeve 110 thereby constricting blood flow to portions 202 and 302 of first and second tubular structures thereby causing portions 202 and 302 to necrose and eventually separate from the remainder of first and second tubular portions 200 and 300. Meanwhile, the compression by the constricting member 130 results in the tubular structures 200, 300 anastomosing or fusing with one another to form a joined tissue 400.
[000481 As seen in FIG. 6, once dead tissue 500 loses its physical strength and breaks off from the living portions of the tissue 202, 302, dead tissue 500 harmlessly passes out of the body. At this point, cylindrical sleeve 110 and the constricting member 130 will detach from the tubular structures 200, 300 and pass through the body or, alternatively, cylindrical sleeve 110 and constricting member 130 may be absorbed by the body, if fabricated from bio-absorbable materials.
[00049] Once healing is complete, the two tubular structures 200, 300 will have been joined together and have produced a continuous and strong lumen.
[00050] The scope of the claims should not be limited by the preferred embodiments set forth herein but should be given the broadest interpretation consistent with the description as a whole.
[00013] The anastomotic device further includes an ejecting member which facilitates positioning of the spring at least partially about the first tubular structure and the second tubular structure. The cylindrical sleeve includes a circumferential groove formed in an outer surface thereof for receiving the constricting member therein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[00031] Embodiments of the presently disclosed compression anastomotic device and method will now be described in detail with reference to the drawing figures wherein like reference numerals identify similar or identical elements. As used herein and as is traditional, the term "distal" refers to that portion which is farthest from the user (generally illustrated on the figures as being towards the right) while the term "proximal" refers to that portion which is closest to the user (generally illustrated on the figures as being towards the left).
[00032] In accordance with the present disclosure, an anastomotic device 100 for joining a first tubular structure 200 and a secondtubular structure 300, via anastomotic surgery, is provided. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, anastomotic device 100 generally includes a sleeve 110, an inverting member 120, and a constricting member, such as a spring, 130.
With continued reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, anastomotic device 100 further includes an ejecting member 150 and an approximating rod member 160.
[00033] As shown in FIGS. 1 ¨ 6, the sleeve 110 is generally cylindrical in shape;
however, any other shape is envisioned, such as, for example, ovular, rectangular, etc.
Cylindrical sleeve 110 includes an outer wall 112 defining a bore 114 therethrough. The cylindrical sleeve 110 has a maximum outer diameter D10 and an inner diameter Dli. In an exemplary embodiment, the outer wall 1 12 of the cylindrical sleeve 110 includes a groove or depression 116 formed thereon. As will be described in greater detail below, cylindrical sleeve 110 is initially positioned at least partially within the first tubular structure 200.
Desirably, cylindrical sleeve 110 is positioned entirely within first tubular structure 200.
[00034] As seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, inverting member 120 is configured and dimensioned to cooperate with sleeve 1 10. Accordingly, inverting member 120 desirably has a cylindrical shape. With continued reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, inverting member 120 includes an outer wall 122 defining a bore therethrough 124. The inverting member 120 has an outer diameter D20 and a minimum inner diameter D21. In an exemplary embodiment, the outer diameter D10 of the cylindrical sleeve 110 is smaller than the inner diameter D2i of the inverting member 120. As will be described in greater detail below, inverting member 120 is initially positioned at least partially within the second tubular structure 300. Desirably, inverting member 120 is positioned entirely within second tubular structure 300.
[00035] As seen in FIG. 1, the constricting member 130 is generally ring-like and is positionable around outer wall 122 of inverting member 120. When constricting member 130 is positioned about outer wall 122 of inverting member 120, constricting member 130 is in a biased condition (e.g., radially expanded condition) in which constricting member 130 exerts compressive forces on and/or about outer wall 122 of inverting member 120 (i.e., radially inward directed constricting forces). An exemplary constricting member 130 may take the form of a garter spring or the like_ When positioned on outer wall 122 of inverting member 120, the constricting member 130 has an inner diameter DS which is equal to outer diameter D20 of outer wall 122 of inverting member 120.
[00036] With continued reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, ejecting member 150 includes an outer wall 152 having an outer diameter D30 and a minimum inner diameter D3i.
The inner diameter D3i of outer wall 152 is larger than the outer diameter D20 of outer wall 122 of inverting member 120. The outer diameter D30 is smaller than a diameter DV2 of the second tubular structure 300.
[00037] The ejecting member 150 further includes a proximal surface 154 through which shaft 162 of approximating rod 160 extends. In an exemplary embodiment, a distal-most surface 156 of outer wall 152 is arcuate and/or concave to engage and/or mate with constricting member 130.
[00038] As mentioned above, anastomotic device 100 further includes an approximating rod 160, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. Rod 160 includes a shaft portion 162 and a distal end portion 164. The shaft portion 162 has a diameter DR s which is smaller than the inner diameter D1i of outer wall 112 of cylindrical sleeve 110. Distal end portion 164- of rod 160 has a diameter DR, (or length LRe) which is greater than the inner diameter D1i outer wall 112 of cylindrical sleeve 110. The rod 160 may be initially positioned such that the distal end portion 164 is disposed distal of the cylindrical sleeve 110.
The shaft portion 162 of the rod 160 may extend through the bore 114 of the outer wall 112 of cylindrical sleeve 110, through the bore 124 of the outer wall 122 of inverting member 120, and optionally through the proximal surface 154 of the ejecting member 150.
[00039] It is envisioned for at least the cylindrical sleeve 110, the inverting member 120, and the ejecting member 150 of the anastomotic device 100 to be constructed of a bio-absorbable material. Such components of anastomotic device 100 may be constructed from bio-absorbable polymeric resin such as, for example, a copolymer of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyglycolic acid (PGA). The relative proportion of the components may be chosen to suit the surgical application. For example, under identical processing conditions, PGA is typically the stronger of the two components and more crystalline. However, PGA is more rapidly absorbed by body tissue. Hence, for surgical applications where it is desired to maintain the implant strength over a longer period of time, the fiber will typically contain more PLA. The fibers can be fibers of the type used in manufacturing suture material.
Additionally, several other materials for forming at least one component of the anastomotic device 100 are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,297,033 and are referred to as poly-hydroxyacetic ester and lactide co-polymers, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein. The materials disclosed in the above-referenced patent constitute a partial list of possible materials as molded surgical articles made from a wide range of glycolide/lactide copolymers have been known and utilized for many years.
[00040] With reference to FIGS. 2 - 6, a method of using anastomotic device 100 in a surgical procedure will now be described in detail. Initially referring to FIG. 2, with the cylindrical sleeve 110 positioned on shaft portion 162 of approximating rod 160, cylindrical sleeve 110 and distal end portion 164 of approximating rod 160 are advanced through the lumen of second tubular structure 300 and positioned within the lumen of the first tubular structure 200, using known surgical techniques. Thereafter, a free end 220 of first tubular structure 200 is purse string sutured around shaft portion 162 of approximating rod 160 using a suture 170. In addition, a free end 320 of second tubular structure 300 is purse string sutured around shaft portion 162 of approximating rod 160 using a suture 170.
[00041] The inverting member 120 is then slid over shaft portion 162 of approximating rod 160 and distally through the lumen of the second tubular structure 300.
Desirably, as seen in FIG. 2, the constricting member 130 is positioned around the outer wall 122 of the inverting member 120 prior to the positioning of the inverting member 120 within the lumen of the second tubular structure 300. With the inverting member 120 so positioned, ejecting member 150 is positioned over a proximal end of the shaft portion 162 of the approximating rod 160 and advanced distally into the lumen of the second tubular structure 300 until outer wall 152 of ejecting member 150 is disposed about the outer wall 122 of the inverting member 120.
[00042] To join the first tubular structure 200 with the second tubular structure 300, the rod 160 is pulled proximally relative to inverting member 120 to approximate first tubular structure 200 and second tubular structure 300. Since distal end portion 164 is larger than bore 114 of sleeve 110, proximal movement of the rod 160 pulls cylindrical sleeve 110 towards second tubular structure 300. Continued proximal movement of rod 160 causes the now sutured free end 220 of first tubular structure 200 to contact the now sutured free end 320 of second tubular structure 300 and to push free end 320 of second tubular structure 300 into bore 124 of inverting member 120, as illustrated in FIG. 3. In so doing, as seen in FIG.
4, an outer layer 304 and an inner layer 306 of second tubular structure 300 is created. Here, a portion 302 of second tubular structure 300 is positioned around a portion 202 of first tubular structure 200. As mentioned above, continued proximal movement of the rod 160 and cylindrical sleeve 110 pushes the free end 320 of the second tubular structure 300 within the bore 124 of the inversion structure 120, thus inverting the free end 320 of the second tubular structure 300, as illustrated in FIG. 4.
[00043] Once the free end 320 of the second tubular structure 300 is inverted, such that a proximal end portion of sleeve 110 is positioned within a distal end portion of bore 124 of inverting member 120, ejecting member 150 is advanced distally relative to inverting member 120. Ejecting member 150 is advanced distally an amount sufficient to push constricting member 130 off the distal end of inverting member 120 and onto the proximal end of sleeve 110 thereby constricting first and second tubular structures 200 and 300 onto sleeve 110. Desirably, constricting member 130 settles into groove 116 of cylindrical sleeve 110 and defines a fold 308 in second tubular structure 300.
[00044] As seen in FIG. 4, the constricting forces exerted by the constricting member 130 maintain its location within groove 116 and adjacent the fold 308. The constricting member 130 compresses, constricts or pinches a portion of the second tubular structure 300 and a portion of the first tubular structure 200 about cylindrical sleeve 110.
[00045] In accordance with a method of the present disclosure, rod 160 may be removed by breaking and/or cutting shaft portion 162 along the length thereof or, in the alternative, by separating the head portion 164 from shaft portion 162 using any known surgical technique. In another method, head portion 164 may be fabricated from a substantially rigid, pliable or deflectable material. In this manner, as rod 160 is drawn in a proximal direction relative to cylindrical sleeve 110, head portion 164 will be sufficiently rigid to approximate first and second tubular structures 200 and 300 and be sufficiently pliable in order to deflect or flex an amount sufficient to enter and pass through the bore 114 of cylindrical sleeve 110.
[00046] As seen in FIG. 5, suture 170 and the free ends 220, 320 of the first and second tubular structures 200, 300, respectively, have been surgically removed or excised, = CA 02583590 2012-06-07 using known surgical techniques. As can be appreciated, bodily fluids and the like can now pass from the first tubular structure 200 to the second tubular structure 300, or vice versa.
[00047] As seen in FIG. 6, constricting member 130 radially constricts first and second tubular structures 200 and 300 about sleeve 110 thereby constricting blood flow to portions 202 and 302 of first and second tubular structures thereby causing portions 202 and 302 to necrose and eventually separate from the remainder of first and second tubular portions 200 and 300. Meanwhile, the compression by the constricting member 130 results in the tubular structures 200, 300 anastomosing or fusing with one another to form a joined tissue 400.
[000481 As seen in FIG. 6, once dead tissue 500 loses its physical strength and breaks off from the living portions of the tissue 202, 302, dead tissue 500 harmlessly passes out of the body. At this point, cylindrical sleeve 110 and the constricting member 130 will detach from the tubular structures 200, 300 and pass through the body or, alternatively, cylindrical sleeve 110 and constricting member 130 may be absorbed by the body, if fabricated from bio-absorbable materials.
[00049] Once healing is complete, the two tubular structures 200, 300 will have been joined together and have produced a continuous and strong lumen.
[00050] The scope of the claims should not be limited by the preferred embodiments set forth herein but should be given the broadest interpretation consistent with the description as a whole.
