- the present disclosure relates to methods and devices for the treatment of aortic dissections.
- An aortic dissection is a dangerous condition with a high mortality rates.
- a tear typically develops in the intima of the aorta that propagates along the vessel wall delaminating the inner layer of the aorta from the outer layer. Blood enters the space between the layers creating a false lumen. Several additional tears or entry points can be created between true lumen of the aorta and the false lumen.
- dissections may close off perfusion from the aorta to vital organs.
- the chronic phase the weakened tissue can develop into aneurysm and ultimately rupture.
- Dissections involving the ascending aorta are referred to as Type A dissections.
- Dissections only involving the descending aorta are referred to as Type B dissections.
- dissections Current treatments for dissections include medical management to lower the blood pressure of the patient and reduce the hemodynamic stresses on the diseased vessel. If dissections are symptomatic, surgical intervention is necessary. Portions of the diseased aorta are replaced by a surgical graft and the dissection flap is reattached. More recently, stent grafts have been used to close the primary entry point into the false lumen with the goal to thrombose the false lumen and maintain patency of the true lumen.
- Endovascular treatment of aortic dissections in the thoracic aorta using a stent graft may risk inter-operative and post-operative complications.
- Catheter delivery systems of thoracic stent grafts typically have a profile of 20-24 Fr requiring a cut-down or conduit for delivery. Vessel damage by the large delivery catheters used is common.
- Stent grafts are difficult to deploy accurately in the thoracic aorta due to high blood flow. Often only the primary entry point of a dissection is covered by the stent graft allowing continuous pressurization of the false lumen through secondary entry points. Long term, a pressurized false lumen tends to expand and become aneurismal. Coverage of all entry points along the dissection by stent grafts contains the risk of local ischemia or paraplegia due to obstruction of vital branch vessels.

- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for the treatment of aortic dissections.
- 2. Background of the Disclosure
- An aortic dissection is a dangerous condition with a high mortality rates. In an aortic dissection, a tear typically develops in the intima of the aorta that propagates along the vessel wall delaminating the inner layer of the aorta from the outer layer. Blood enters the space between the layers creating a false lumen. Several additional tears or entry points can be created between true lumen of the aorta and the false lumen. In the acute phase, dissections may close off perfusion from the aorta to vital organs. In the chronic phase, the weakened tissue can develop into aneurysm and ultimately rupture. Dissections involving the ascending aorta are referred to as Type A dissections. Dissections only involving the descending aorta are referred to as Type B dissections.
- Current treatments for dissections include medical management to lower the blood pressure of the patient and reduce the hemodynamic stresses on the diseased vessel. If dissections are symptomatic, surgical intervention is necessary. Portions of the diseased aorta are replaced by a surgical graft and the dissection flap is reattached. More recently, stent grafts have been used to close the primary entry point into the false lumen with the goal to thrombose the false lumen and maintain patency of the true lumen.
- Endovascular treatment of aortic dissections in the thoracic aorta using a stent graft may risk inter-operative and post-operative complications. Catheter delivery systems of thoracic stent grafts typically have a profile of 20-24 Fr requiring a cut-down or conduit for delivery. Vessel damage by the large delivery catheters used is common. Stent grafts are difficult to deploy accurately in the thoracic aorta due to high blood flow. Often only the primary entry point of a dissection is covered by the stent graft allowing continuous pressurization of the false lumen through secondary entry points. Long term, a pressurized false lumen tends to expand and become aneurismal.

FIG. 9 illustrates details of an inflatable support structure. - This disclosure relates to a novel devices and methods for treating aortic dissections. Specifically, methods and devices are disclosed herein that are appropriate for the treatment of acute Type B dissections involving the descending aorta. However, some embodiments and/or components of the devices and methods disclosed herein have applications to treat other vascular defects or diseases and all such uses are contemplated as being part of this disclosure.
- Some embodiments of the proposed devices or treatment are configured to obliterate the false lumen while maintaining patency of the true lumen. This can be accomplished by placement of a stent in the true lumen to reestablish the original flow lumen of the aorta. The false lumen can be filled with an inflatable bag that displaces the blood in the false lumen and prevents further pressurization of the aortic wall in the false lumen.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a non-limiting example of a type B dissection in the human aorta. Atear 3 in the inner layer of the aorta 1 distal to the subclavian artery 2 typically allows blood to enter into the aortic wall (see arrows) and separate or peel the inner layer 4 of the aorta from theouter layer 5. The space created by the blood between the two layers is referred to as thefalse lumen 6. Thetear 3 is referred as the primary entry point into the false lumen. The separated inner layer 4 is referred to as the flap. The portion of the aorta within the inner layer of the aorta along the dissection is referred to as the true lumen 7. In some cases, multiple entry and exit openings may exist along the flap, as indicated by theopenings -
FIG. 2 show devices used in a current method for treating type B dissections. A coveredstent 11 is placed at the location of the primary entry point to prevent blood from entering the false lumen through the primary entry point. Abare stent 12 is placed in the true lumen distal to the coveredstent 11 to prevent the flap from obstructing the true lumen. -
FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the proposed device. Asupport structure 21 such as a balloon expandable stent or a self-expandable stent is placed in the true lumen to maintain patency of the true lumen. Aninflatable structure 22 is placed in the false lumen such that, in the inflated state, it displaces the blood in the false lumen. By displacing the blood in the false lumen, the effect of blood pressure on the wall of the false lumen can be reduced or eliminated and further dilation of the false lumen can be prevented or inhibited. - The support structure in the true lumen can comprise a single stent or multiple stents. In the case of multiple stents, the stents can be positioned adjacent to one another, spaced apart or can be positioned relative to one another so as to at least partially overlap. The stents can be flexible so as to conform to the curvature of the aorta. Some embodiments of the stents can have large spaces between the struts to allow for flow into branch vessels of the aorta.
-
FIGS. 4-8 illustrate the steps of a method of treating a dissection with a device system as described herein. The order of the steps described below can be altered or adjusted, and some of the steps can be omitted or combined with other steps. For example, a support structure can be deployed in the false lumen before a support structure is deployed in the true lumen, or vice versa.FIG. 4 illustrates the advancement of two guidewires from the femoral artery into the aorta. Afirst guidewire 31 is located in the true lumen and asecond guidewire 32 is placed into the false lumen.FIG. 5 illustrates acatheter 33 comprising asupport structure 21 having been inserted over thefirst guidewire 31 into the true lumen, and acatheter 34 comprising aninflatable structure 22 having been inserted into the false lumen. In the next step, the support structure is deployed in the true lumen.FIG. 6 illustrates the support structure (a stent) 21 deployed in the true lumen and the first catheter retracted. With reference toFIG. 7 , theinflatable structure 22 is shown unsheathed (partially deployed).FIG. 7 illustrates the unsheathed inflatable (support)structure 22. As illustrated inFIG. 8 , theinflatable structure 22 has been inflated to displace the blood in the false lumen. -
FIG. 9 shows an embodiment of theinflatable structure 22. Theinflatable structure 22 can comprise abag 41, acatheter 42 with aguidewire lumen 43, and afill lumen 44. Openings along thecatheter 42 can allow inflation medium to pass from thefill lumen 44 into thebag 41. Section A-A illustrates afirst cross-section 45 of thecatheter 42 comprising theguidewire lumen 43 and thefill lumen 44. Section B-B illustrates asecond cross-section 46 of thecatheter 42 comprising theguidewire lumen 43 and thefill lumen 44. Thesecond cross-section 46 can be located proximal to thebag 41. The catheter shaft as shown incross-section 46 can be weakened or otherwise configured to be predictably frangible to allow for breaking and detachment of thecatheter 42 at approximately the location of thesecond cross-section 46 on the catheter and removal of the distal portion of thecatheter 42 from the body of the patient. - There are many suitable methods of or embodiments filling the inflatable structure. Several potential embodiments are discussed here for illustration purposes. In some embodiments, the bag can be porous to allow blood to enter the interior of the bag. Hydrogel can be inserted into the bag through the fill lumen. The hydrogel can be delivered in form of spheres, tubes, or pellets. In some embodiments, when the hydrogel enters the bag, the hydrophilic properties of the bag can draw blood through the porous wall into the bag. The hydrogel can absorb the blood and swell. The swelling hydrogel can cause the bag to inflate. Hydrogel can be inserted into the bag until the inflated bag fills the false lumen. The swell pressure in the bag can be equal or higher than the blood pressure. The stagnant blood in the hydrogel can coagulate, causing the false lumen to thrombose. Contrast medium can be added to the hydrogel during filling to visualize the expanding bag under fluoroscopy.
- In some embodiments, the bag can be impermeable. Blood can be extracted from the patient and a thrombolytic agent can be added to the blood. The mixture can be injected into the bag to inflate the bag. Additionally, a polymeric solution comprising a polymer and a cross-linking agent can be injected through the fill lumen into the bag. The polymer cross-links after injection. Alternatively, the hydrogel can be a thermosensitive sol-gel reversible hydrogel. The hydrogel can be configured such that, below body temperature, the hydrogel is in a liquid state. This can facilitate injection of the hydrogel into the inflatable structure. When the hydrogel warms up to body temperature, it can undergo a phase transition and become more rigid or become a solid.
- It will obvious to the reader skilled in the art that many materials can be used to fill the bag. Preferably, the fill medium is biocompatible. As mentioned, in some embodiments, the fill medium can be configured to be liquid during the injection phase and to solidify after injection.
- The bag can be made from various thin-wall materials including but not limited to ePTFE, polyurethane, and woven and knitted polyester or silk. The wall can have a thickness between 0.0001 in (or approximately 0.0001 in) and 0.01 in (or approximately 0.01 in) or between 0.001 in (or approximately 0.001 in) and 0.004 in (or approximately 0.004 in). The bag can be made from a material that is strong enough to avoid rupture of the bag during inflation. In some embodiments, the bag can be inflated to a pressure in excess of the systolic blood pressure to completely displace the blood from the false lumen. The bag can be configured such that the burst pressure of the bag is higher than the difference between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. If the wall of the bag is porous to allow for blood to enter the bag, the pore size can be larger than the size of a blood cell. The pores can be larger than 6 micrometers (or approximately 6 micrometers) and smaller than the size of the hydrogel pellets. The pore size can be between 10 micrometers (or approximately 10 micrometers) and 1 millimeter (or approximately 1 millimeter). In arrangements in which liquid medium is injected through the fill lumen into the bag, the wall of the bag can be configured to be impermeable to the fill medium during injection and during solidification of the medium. The entry pressure needed to pass the fill medium through the wall of the bag can be larger than 50 mmHg (or approximately 50 mmHg). In some embodiments, the entry pressure can be larger than 200 mmHg (or approximately 200 mmHg).
- In some embodiments, the delivery system and the fill lumen to the bag can be detached from the bag and retracted from the patient once the bag is filled. In some embodiments, the bag can have a one-way valve that prevents fill medium from escaping from the bag once the fill tube is detached.
- The filling of the bag can be monitored under fluoroscopy. Additionally, radiopaque markers can be attached to the bag to visualize the size of the bag during inflation. In some embodiments, contrast medium can be injected into the bag to visualize the size of the bag. The contrast medium can be injection into the false lumen to visualize the blood being displaced by the bag. In some embodiments, the inflation of the bag can be monitored by measuring the pressure in the bag. A pressure sensor can be placed in the bag. Alternatively or additionally, the pressure in the fill lumen can be monitored. In some arrangements, a second lumen can be connected to the bag and the pressure in the second lumen can be monitored. Further, in some arrangements, the pressure in the aorta and the bag can be measured and the differential pressure between the aortic pressure and the bag pressure can be displayed.
- As mentioned earlier, the stent in the true lumen can be partially covered with a graft. The graft can cover the primary entry point into the false lumen to reduce the blood pressure in the false lumen. This can reduce the force that the flap exerts on the stent in the true lumen. Alternatively, an aortic balloon can be placed at or proximal to the primary entry point during filling of the bag to block blood from entering the false lumen. To prevent the stent from collapsing during filling of the bag, a balloon can be placed inside the stent and inflated to support the stent.
- The support structure and the inflatable structure can be delivered to the treatment site through the leg arteries of the patient or other branch vessels of the aorta including but not limited to the head arteries and the arm arteries. Alternatively, the devices can be delivered through surgical incisions into the aorta. For example, access to the thoracic aorta can be obtained by an incision into the ascending aorta or the aortic arch. In an alternative approach, access to the aorta may be gained through the apex of the heart or from the right heart. This approach may be preferred in case of Type A dissections that originate in the ascending aorta. It will obvious to those skilled in the art that any combinations of the above approaches can be used to deliver and deploy the support structure into the true lumen and the inflatable structure in the false lumen.
- In some dissections, vital organs can be perfused by the false lumen and not the true lumen. In this case, it may be preferred to place the support structure in the false lumen and the inflatable structure in the true lumen. It will obvious to those skilled in the art that the combination of a support structure and an inflatable structure can be used to redirect flow between any of two parallel blood or air lumens in the body.
- As will be recognized, certain embodiments described herein can be embodied within a form that does not provide all of the features and benefits set forth herein, as some features can be used or practiced separately from others. Unless otherwise defined herein, the term approximate or approximately means values within 10% of the stated value.
- Although this disclosure has been described in the context of exemplifying embodiments and examples, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments disclosed herein extend beyond the specifically disclosed embodiments to other alternative embodiments and obvious modifications and equivalents thereof. In addition, while a number of variations have been shown and described in detail, other modifications, which are within the scope of this disclosure, will be readily apparent to those of skill in the art based upon this disclosure. It can be also contemplated that various combinations or subcombinations of the specific features and aspects of the embodiments can be made and still fall within the scope of the invention. Accordingly, it should be understood that various features and aspects of the disclosed embodiments can be combine with or substituted for one another in order to form varying modes of treatment as described herein. Thus, it is intended that the scope of that herein disclosed should not be limited by the particular disclosed embodiments described above.
