Abstract
一种棘突间撑开器诊断平行气囊导管和方法。气囊导管具有全部可从收缩外形扩展为扩展外形，并且然后再次收缩到收缩外形的一个布置在另一个里面的多个主要可扩展部件、远端可扩展部件和近端可扩展部件。该器件可用来确定特定患者是否是植入棘突间撑开器以治疗腰椎管狭窄症的候选者，并且如指明，则确定这种撑开器的尺寸。
Description
技术领域
本发明一般涉及脊柱病症的治疗，并更特别涉及使用在邻近棘突(spinous processe)之间植入的器件治疗椎管狭窄(spinal stenosis)。
背景技术
腰椎管狭窄症引起的神经源性间歇跛行综合症是在下背中疼痛的频繁来源，导致步行受影响，并导致其它形式的老人疾病。尽管没有确定症状的腰椎管狭窄症的发病率和流行性，但该病症是年龄大于65岁的老人的椎管手术的最频繁指示。
腰椎管狭窄症是特征在于腰椎管窄化的椎管病症。由于椎管狭窄，因此椎管窄化并夹紧脊髓和神经，导致背部和腿疼痛。估计每年10,000人中近5人发生腰椎管狭窄症。为背部疼痛寻求医生帮助的患者近12％-15％诊断为具有腰椎管狭窄症。
腰椎管狭窄症的普通治疗包括物理疗法(包括改变姿势)、药物，以及偶尔手术。在姿势和物理疗法中的改变对于弯曲脊柱可有效，从而减压并扩大脊髓和神经可用的空间，因此解除夹紧的神经上的压力。药物例如NSAIDS和其它消炎药经常用来缓和疼痛，尽管它们通常不对导致疼痛的脊柱压迫有效。
外科治疗比药物或物理疗法更积极，并且在合适情况下，外科手术可以是实现腰椎管狭窄症症状减轻的最优方式。外科手术的主要目标是对中心脊椎管和神经孔减压，创造更多空间并消除脊神经根上的压力。治疗腰椎管狭窄症的最普通的外科手术是通过椎板切除术和部分椎间关节面切除术(partial facetectomy)直接减压。在该过程中，由于向患者做出切口从而接近脊柱，因此给予患者全身麻醉。移除一个或多个椎骨的薄层从而为神经创造更多空间。也可移除椎间盘，并且可融合邻近椎骨从而增强不稳定的区段。减压椎板切除术的成功率报告超过65％。在许多这些情况中也实现腰椎管狭窄症症状的显著减少。
近来，发展不同的外科手术技术，其中椎骨转移并且棘突间撑开器植入在邻近棘突之间，从而在区段之间维持期望的分离。当前，患者选择基于历史、物理检查和成像。这些诊断模式可能是敏感的并且对于腰椎管狭窄症是特异的，但它们在它们识别合适棘突间撑开器候选的能力方面受到限制。适当选择患者接受棘突间撑开器对于确保植入撑开器后的积极效果是重要的。
因此诊断器件和过程用来确定以下内容是有利的(i)棘突间撑开器是否为患者提供减轻，以及(ii)提供这种减轻所需的这种撑开器的尺寸。这样的诊断过程可在医生办公室或除标准医院环境之外的其它门诊环境中执行。
发明内容
在此描述的棘突间撑开器诊断平行气囊导管(“平行气囊导管”)可以是可置换的。它可经皮插入到棘间空间，从而暂时将识别的脊柱运动段减压，并且允许医生确定患者是否是植入棘突间撑开器的合适候选者。诊断患者从而确定它们是否是植入棘突间撑开器的合适候选者的方法也在此公开。
棘突间撑开器诊断平行气囊导管具有多个主要可扩展部件，每个都具有允许平行气囊导管的远端部分经皮传递到患者合适位点的第一收缩外形。主要可扩展部件具有不同可扩展直径，并因此可扩展到不同直径。主要可扩展部件相互布置在内，以使具有最小直径的主要可扩展部件是最里面的主要可扩展部件，并且放置在具有其次最小直径的另一主要可扩展部件内。具有最大直径的主要可扩展部件是最外的主要可扩展部件。具有较大直径的主要可扩展部件可能设置在具有较小直径的主要可扩展部件内。医生控制每个这些主要可扩展部件的扩展，从而向医生提供了对提供给诊断的具体患者的减压或转移量的控制。因此，使多个主要可扩展部件一个布置在另一个里面也向医生提供了允许医生确定许多不同尺寸的棘突间撑开器中哪个可适合植入的一种器件。
另外，两个额外可扩展部件邻近主要可扩展部件设置，其中额外可扩展部件中一个设置在主要可扩展部件的近端侧，并且第二额外可扩展部件设置在主要可扩展部件的远端侧。在扩展时两个额外可扩展部件将主要可扩展部件支撑在邻近棘突之间合适位置。主要可扩展部件可由相对非柔性的材料形成，而额外可扩展部件可由相对柔性的材料形成。
也提供使用在此描述的平行气囊导管的方法。一旦主要可扩展部件合适设置在患者内，那么额外可扩展部件首先扩展，从而将主要可扩展部件锁定在邻近棘突之间合适位置。如期望的话，近端或远端额外可扩展部件可在另一额外可扩展部件扩展之前扩展。此后，可以是最小主要可扩展部件的最内主要可扩展部件扩展。此时，平行气囊导管可被操纵以允许患者行走，从而确定是否缓和腰椎管狭窄症的症状。如否，那么可扩展具有较大直径的其次主要可扩展部件。然后患者可行走从而确定该器件对患者的效果。该过程继续直到症状缓和，或直到最外即具有最大直径的主要可扩展部件扩展。此后，全部可扩展部件可缩小到它们的初始收缩外形，并且将平行气囊导管从患者移除。如果患者在诊断过程期间意识到腰椎管狭窄症的症状减轻，那么医生可安排跟进的外科手术，从而植入在诊断过程期间基于向患者提供减轻疼痛的主要可扩展部件的直径确定的合适尺寸的棘突间撑开器。如果患者没有获得减轻，那么医生可确定患者可能不是植入棘突间撑开器的候选者，并且为患者估计其它选择。

具体实施方式
如在该说明书和权利要求中使用，单数形式“一个(a)”、“一个(an)”和“该(the)”包括复数对象，除上下文另外清楚指出。因此，例如，“部件”意图指单个部件或部件的结合，并且“材料”意图指一种或更多材料，或其结合。此外，术语“近端”和“远端”分别指接近或远离将医疗器件插入患者的操作员(例如，外科医生、医生、护士、技术员等等)的方向，其中器件的末端(即远端)首先插入患者。因此，例如，首先插入患者体内的该器件末端是器件的远端，而最后进入患者体内的是该器件的近端。
如在该说明书和权利要求中使用，术语“身体”在连同其中放置器件从而治疗腰椎管狭窄症的位置使用时，或从而教导或实践器件的植入方法时，意思是哺乳动物身体。例如，身体可以是患者身体，或尸体，或患者身体的部分或尸体的部分。
如在该说明书和权利要求中使用，术语“平行”在通常的制造公差或测量公差或类似公差情况下描述两个几何构造(例如，两条线、两个平面、线和平面、两个曲面、线和曲面等等)之间的关系，其中由于它们基本延伸到无限，因此该两个几何构造基本不交叉。例如，如在此使用，当线和曲面延伸到无限它们不交叉时就称该线平行于该曲面。相似地，当称平面(即二维表面)平行于线时，沿该线上每个点都与该表面的最近部分隔开基本相等的距离。两个几何构造在名义上相互平行时在此描述为相互“平行”或“基本平行”，例如在它们在公差内相互平行时。这样的公差可包括但不限于例如制造公差、测量公差等等。
如在该说明书和权利要求中使用，术语“正交”、“垂直”和“直交”描述在两个几何构造(例如，两条线、两个平面、线和平面、两个曲面、线和曲面等等)之间的关系，其中两个几何构造在至少一个平面内以接近90度的角度交叉。例如，如在此使用，在线和曲面在平面内以接近90度的角度交叉时，就称该线正交、垂直或直交于该曲面。两个几何构造在它们名义上相互90度正交时在此描述为相互“正交”、“垂直”、“直交”或“基本正交”、“基本垂直”、“基本直交”，例如在它们在公差内成90度时。这样的公差可包括例如制造公差、测量公差等等。
在附图中示出棘突间撑开器诊断平行气囊导管100的一个实施方式。气囊导管100配置为单侧插入患者而不需要转移在对侧上的组织。
如在附图中的图解实例，气囊导管100包括多个主要可扩展部件(“主要气囊”)20，其中具有最小直径的主要气囊20a(“最内主要气囊”)布置在是最外主要可扩展部件20b(“最外主要气囊”)的具有最大直径的主要气囊内。尽管附图仅示出两个主要可扩展部件，但应理解任何数量的其它可扩展部件都可布置在最外主要气囊20b中，从而在使用气囊导管100确定患者是否为棘突间撑开器的候选者时向医生提供更大灵活性。在这样的状况下，主要可扩展部件相互布置在其中，以使具有最小直径的主要可扩展部件最接近气囊导管100的轴布置，并且布置在具有其次最小直径的主要可扩展部件内。第二最小主要可扩展部件应当布置在具有其次最小直径的主要可扩展部件内，等等，其中具有最大直径的主要可扩展部件为最外主要可扩展部件。然而，应理解，前述不是操作器件的标准。使较大主要可扩展部件中的一个或多个布置在较小主要可扩展部件中的一个或多个中在本发明的范畴之内。气囊导管100也包括远端可扩展部件(“远端气囊”)25a，以及近端可扩展部件(“近端气囊”)25b。
所有这些可扩展部件都可以是由相对低柔性的塑料例如尼龙、聚乙烯(PE)或聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)形成。柔性基于从初始形成尺寸改变的量来量化。较低柔性的材料能够在故障之前伸展大约5％到大约50％之间，而较高柔性的材料例如聚氨酯能够改变大约300％。通常，气囊柔性越低，它的加压能力越高。尼龙和PET气囊能够经受大约300psi的最大压力。相反，较高柔性的聚氨酯气囊仅能够经受大约125psi的最大压力。
主要气囊20可由较低柔性材料形成，因此它的膨胀模式得到良好控制和了解。膨胀样式，例如最小到最大的每个不同主要气囊的气囊直径即D1到D2等等，用来确定棘间空间的高度，并因此确定植入患者从而治疗病症的任何永久棘突间撑开器的尺寸。同样，较低柔性材料的较高压力能力可有助于分离棘突和维持棘间空间。相反，远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b可由较高柔性的材料形成，例如聚氨酯、硅树脂或以ChronoPreneTM商标销售的热塑橡胶弹性体。远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b应当能够扩展到与主要气囊20相比明显更大的直径。柔性材料帮助最小化气囊导管100的远端部分的轮廓，并减小接近患者的解剖中特定位置必需的切口尺寸。然而，由相似于用来形成主要气囊20的材料的较低柔性材料形成远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b也在本发明范畴内。这会促进导管装配，但形成的器件需要较大进入通道。主要气囊20、远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b配置为使它们可从如在图3中图解的收缩或靠拢外形变动为如在图1和图4到8中图解的扩展或展开外形。
主要气囊20、远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b用标准方式固定到导管30。例如，可使用粘合剂、热连结、激光连结或粘合剂内衬热皱缩。为促进主要气囊20连结到导管30，主要气囊20可由三层气囊管形成，其中中间层是较低柔性材料，并且顶部和底层是相似于用来形成远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b的材料的较高柔性材料。
远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b可独立于主要气囊20膨胀，并且如期望的话，远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b可相互独立膨胀。这允许远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b首先膨胀从而将气囊导管100锁定在合适位置，其中主要气囊20设置在期望的邻近棘突之间。然后主要气囊20可单独地且独立地膨胀。主要气囊20的独立控制对于正确估量棘间空间的尺寸是必需的。可选地，远端气囊25a、主要气囊20中最内或最小主要气囊20，以及近端气囊25b可结合为单个气囊。这样的单一构造意思是该单个气囊具有较大直径的远端和近端部分以及较小中心部分的哑铃形状，这些部分同时膨胀。当然，其它气囊仍连同气囊的主要中心部分使用，从而提供不同直径的扩展的中心部分。
导管30包括延伸通过导管30并且用于扩展气囊导管100的多个气囊的多个管腔。例如，如在图2A中图解，管腔31a与最内主要气囊20a流体连通，管腔31b与最外主要气囊20b流体连通。另外，管腔32与远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b都流体连通。通过使管腔32与远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b都流体连通，两个气囊可同时扩展。管腔31a和31b分离从而允许一旦医生将气囊导管100的远端部分锁定在合适位置，那么最内主要气囊20a和最外主要气囊20b单独扩展。另外，导丝管腔37延伸通过导管30，从而允许气囊导管100经由导丝经皮插入。如需要，单个管腔可用来将所有主要气囊20膨胀。在这样的实施方式中，可选择每个较内主要气囊的材料以使在指定压力或体积，该较内最主要气囊会爆裂，允许膨胀流体开始将其次的主要气囊膨胀。
如在图2A中示出，管腔31a和31b都围绕导管30轴的独立部分延伸，管腔32围绕导管30轴的独立部分延伸，并且导丝管腔37在导管30内共轴布置。如需要，远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b可与分离管腔流体连通。这允许医生在患者中初始安置和调整气囊导管100的远端部分具体位置的更大灵活性。例如，如在图2B中示出，管腔32可分为两个分离管腔32a和32b，其中管腔32a可与近端气囊25b流体连通，并且管腔32b可与远端气囊25a流体连通，或反之亦然。如必需，这些分离管腔允许近端气囊25b首先膨胀并缩小，从而重新放置气囊导管100的远端部分。此后，远端气囊25a可膨胀。可选地，远端气囊25a如必需可在近端气囊25b膨胀之前膨胀和收缩。可选地，导管30中全部管腔可取向为使它们全部共轴。
气囊导管30的近端连接到其中具有至少一个开口的集中器40。使用的开口的数量取决于气囊导管100需要的管腔配置。例如，如使用三个管腔来将所有气囊膨胀，则需要三个开口，除导丝(若使用)所需的任何接近器件之外。见于图1。如图解，当使用图2A的管腔配置时，第一开口42、第二开口42、第三开口43和导丝开口47设置在集中器40上。第一开口41与管腔32流体连通。第二开口42与管腔31a流体连通。第三开口43与管腔31b流体连通。第一开口41、第二开口42和第三开口43每个可在其近端上包括路厄锁(luer lock)，从而允许膨胀器件如注射器锁定到每个开口上。导丝开口47允许导丝50完全延伸通过导管30，从而有利于将气囊导管100合适放置在邻近棘突之间，如在下面更全面描述的。第一开口42、第二开口42和第三开口43每个都包括允许独立控制相关气囊的密封(未示出)。
在收缩外形时，主要气囊20、远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b每个都具有促进气囊导管100的远端插入患者到目标棘间空间的减小的轮廓。若需要，导丝50可首先插入患者，使其在调查的邻近棘突之间延伸。然后气囊导管100可经由导丝插入患者，其中导丝延伸通过管腔37，使得远端气囊25a延伸经过感兴趣的邻近棘突，并且是上棘突和下棘突的远端侧面的远端。在该位置，主要气囊20设置在邻近棘突之间，并且近端气囊25b设置在上棘突和下棘突的其它侧面的近端。在这点上，远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b可经由其中使用图2A的管腔配置的管腔32通过注射生物相容流体例如盐水扩展或“膨胀”。见图6。可选地，在远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b独立膨胀的情况，远端气囊25a或近端气囊25b可首先膨胀，从而将气囊导管100的远端部分临时支撑在合适位置，同时医生证实远端部分合适地设置。若没有，那么可缩小初始膨胀气囊，从而允许医生合适地重新设置气囊导管100的远端部分。该过程可重复，直到医生满意气囊导管100的放置。完全膨胀后，远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b在它们完全膨胀时具有大于邻近棘突之间空间并且大于主要气囊20高度的高度。由于远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b相对柔性，因此它们可更好贴合周围解剖结构，从而将气囊导管100支撑在合适位置。因此，通过完全膨胀的远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b，气囊导管100支撑在患者解剖结构中的合适位置，以使主要气囊20位于在邻近棘突之间。
通过合适放置主要气囊20，在使用图2A的管腔配置时医生然后可经由管腔31a通过注射生物相容流体例如盐水使最内主要气囊20膨胀。见图4和7。最内主要气囊20a具有固定体积的预定几何形状。因此，在最内主要气囊20a膨胀期间，医生可注意到注射进入最内主要气囊20a的流体的体积。在完全膨胀时对应于最内主要气囊20a的直径D1的该第一体积，医生可让患者行走并从患者获得反馈，从而确定通过注射到最内主要气囊20a的第一体积流体所代表的转移量是否为患者提供疼痛减轻。如果没有疼痛减轻，那么医生可缩小最内主要气囊20a，并且然后将一定体积流体注射到在完全膨胀时具有更大直径D2的最外主要气囊20b。见图5和8。D2大于D1。当然，最内气囊20a可能在最外气囊20b膨胀时保持膨胀。同样，额外流体注射到最内气囊20a从而导致它爆裂，因此接下来的气囊膨胀也是可能的。医生再次让患者行走并从患者获得关于任何疼痛的反馈。在额外气囊20可用的情况下，该过程继续直到患者体验到疼痛减轻，或直到最外主要气囊膨胀。如果患者体验到疼痛减轻，那么提供疼痛减轻的特定主要气囊的直径可匹配于永久植入患者的永久棘突间撑开器的直径。如果患者没有体验到疼痛减轻，那么医生可确定患者不是植入棘突间器件的候选者。
主要气囊20的几何形状包括代表邻近棘突之间距离的直径。该几何形状也包括主要气囊20的宽度，其应当大约是通常棘突宽度或稍大。这确保主要气囊20具有足够表面积，以与邻近棘突接合，并也防止源自沿邻近棘突较小部分集中的力。在这样的状况下，骨质疏松的骨头，或例如由于疾病或损伤弱化的骨头可能骨折。针对当主要气囊20、远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b收紧时气囊导管100具有小轮廓的期望，主要气囊20、远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b的性能特征应当平衡，从而有利于气囊导管100插入患者解剖结构的合适位置。
图9是图解使用棘突间撑开器诊断平行气囊导管确定具体患者是否为植入棘突间撑开器的候选者，从而缓和腰椎管狭窄症的症状的流程图。在调查的棘突间空间首先用导丝或套针接近，以使导丝或套针的近端邻近期望位置。然后气囊导管100经由导丝或通过套针经皮插入，从而将主要气囊20安置在棘突间空间中。若需要，可从患者移除导丝或套针。远端气囊25a和近端气囊25b极限扩展从而将气囊导管100的远端部分支撑在合适位置。然后最小直径的主要气囊20a扩展。然后患者步行从而确定最小直径的主要气囊20a是否对腰椎管狭窄症症状具有任何效果。如果疼痛缓和，那么医生注意最小直径的主要气囊20a提供了疼痛减轻，这允许医生确定患者将需要的永久棘突间撑开器的直径。然后从最小直径的主要气囊20a抽回流体，因此它收缩并且然后可从患者移除气囊导管100。医生使用源自该诊断过程的信息确定可用于治疗患者的棘突间撑开器的尺寸，并安排跟进手术以植入这样的器件。如果疼痛没有缓和，那么医生可扩展其次较大直径的主要气囊20b。较小的主要气囊在其次较大直径的主要气囊膨胀时可以缩小或可以不缩小，或可裂开。然后患者再次步行从而确定是否具有任何疼痛减轻。在具有额外主要气囊的情况下，该过程继续直到患者获得减轻或直到最外或最大直径的主要气囊膨胀。如果最大直径的主要气囊膨胀没有减轻疼痛，或如果医生如此判断，那么医生可推断患者不是棘突间撑开器治疗腰椎管狭窄症的候选者。然后医生可为患者评估其它治疗选择。
因为本文描述的单个平行气囊导管消除了对具有不同尺寸可扩展主要部件插入患者并然后移除以及如果先前可扩展主要部件不提供减轻则用更大可扩展主要部件替代的不同器件的需要，所以其更加有效。因为需要使用和执行额外材料和处理步骤以便使用在此描述的方法获得信息，所以使用单个器件评估邻近棘突之间的单一距离是较不期望的。
气囊导管100可连同活的患者使用，以便治疗各种脊柱疾病。气囊导管100也可用于非生命物体，例如在尸体、模型等等内使用。该非生命物体可用于测试、训练和示范目的中的一种或多种。气囊导管100的元件可安置在患者中以接触各椎骨部件。该接触可包括用气囊导管100实际触碰椎骨部件的直接接触，并且也可包括用气囊导管100与周围韧带和组织实际触碰的间接接触。在两种情况，气囊导管100都包括植入气囊导管100以便治疗脊柱病症的相似效果。
棘突间撑开器诊断平行气囊导管可用除在此阐述的方式之外的其它具体方式执行而不背离在此描述的范畴和基本特征。因此在所有方面将这些实施方式考虑为说明性的而不是限制性的，并且在所附权利要求的含义和等同范围内的所有变化都意图包括在内。
