Definitions
- This invention relates generally to percutaneous transluminal vascular procedures and more particularly to delivery apparatus for placing a stent, a stent graft or a tubular graft at a desired target location within a subject's vascular system.
- Stents used in these procedures must be capable of assuming a reduced diameter configuration for delivery through a guide catheter, but which are either self- expanding upon exit of the distal end of the guide catheter or "balloon expandable".
- the Seldinger technique is frequently used to gain access to the vascular system and a tubular introducer having a hemostatic valve for preventing blood loss is inserted and typically, a puncture wound is made in the artery.
- a guide catheter is then inserted through the introducer and routed through the vascular system until the distal end portion of the guide catheter is disposed at an ostium of a selected artery having the stenotic lesion.
- an angioplasty catheter may be advanced over a guide wire sufficiently far so that an expandable balloon on the distal end of the delivery catheter is juxtaposed relative to the stenotic lesion.
- the stenotic lesion is compressed relative to the wall of the blood vessel being treated.
- the balloon also carries a radially collapsed stent in surrounding relation to the balloon, as the balloon is expanded, so is the stent which becomes pressed against the vessel wall. Now, upon deflation of the balloon, it can be extracted leaving the stent in place.
- Stents intended for use in percutaneous transluminal angioplasty applications come in various sizes depending on the vessel being treated. Grafts are used for the treatment of aneurysms and commonly involve a tubular metal or polymeric scaffold having a fabric covering preventing blood leakage there through. Because of this construction, such grafts could not be compressed sufficiently to pass through an introducer like those used in executing the Seldinger procedure. As such, the medical team involved required a surgeon to perform a cut- down procedure. Because of the radial size of most prior art vascular grafts of the covered scaffold variety typically would require a 24 Fr delivery sheath.
- a stent is a tubular scaffold for bridging a stenotic lesion in a blood vessel
- a stent graft is a stent having a fabric, blood impervious covering and a graft is a scaffold for bridging a true aneurysm, a false aneurysm or a berry aneurysm.
- Such devices are collectively referred to herein as a vascular prosthesis or simply a prosthesis.
- the foregoing desired objects are achieved in accordance with the present invention by providing an apparatus for percutaneously delivering a self-expanding stent or graft to a target site within a patient's vascular system.
- the apparatus comprises an outer tubular guide catheter having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen extending there between along with an inner tubular pusher catheter also having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen and where the inner pusher catheter has an outer diameter sized to slidingly fit within the lumen of the guide catheter.
- An elongate, flexible member is coaxially inserted through the lumen of the inner pusher catheter and it has a first bead member affixed to its distal end where the bead is sized to at least partially fit within the lumen of the inner pusher catheter at the distal end of the pusher catheter when a proximally directed tension force is applied to the proximal end of the elongated flexible member with respect to the inner pusher catheter.
- a compression spring that is operatively coupled between the proximal end of the inner pusher catheter and a clamp member that is releasably affixed to the elongate member near the proximal end of the elongate member.
- the stent, stent graft or graft deployed using the apparatus of the present invention comprises a large plurality of very fine braided metal strands exhibiting a memory property and which is radially collapsible to a relatively small size for passage through the outer tubular guide catheter but which, when released from the guide catheter, self-expands to a relatively large diameter.
- the number of strands, the diameter of each strand, the pitch and pick of the braid are such that the pore size of the resulting tubular graft is sufficiently small that fibrin present in the blood will close such pores, rendering the graft leak-proof.
- the braided tubular graft is installed on the delivery system by capturing the free ends of the strands comprising the braided graft at its proximal end between the bead member affixed to the elongate flexible member and the wall defining the lumen of the inner tubular pusher catheter at its distal end.
- the compression spring is used to maintain the requisite tension force on the elongate member to maintain the ends of the strands pinched between the bead member and the wall of the inner tubular pusher catheter proximate its distal end.
- Fig. 1 is a partial side elevation view illustrating the percutaneous delivery system for stents and grafts configured in accordance with the present invention
- Fig. 2 is a greatly enlarged view of the distal end portion of the assembly of Fig. 1 showing the proximal ends of the wires comprising the braided stent or graft captured at the distal end of the delivery catheter; and
- Fig. 3 is a view like that of Fig. 2 showing the stent or graft released from the distal end of the delivery catheter.
- the percutaneous translumenal stent or graft delivery system is identified generally by numeral 10 and, as already indicated, is used to deliver a stent or graft member 12 to a target site within the vascular system such as at the location of an abdominal aortic aneurysm for the purpose of exclusion of the aneurysm to prevent further bulging and possible rupture thereof.
- the vascular prosthesis 12 is preferably formed of a metal fabric exhibiting an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration.
- the prosthesis when collapsed, can be deployed through the lumen of a catheter and, upon exiting the distal end of the catheter at a target site in a patient's vascular system, will substantially return to its expanded configuration.
- the metal fabric comprising the prosthesis may comprise a plurality of braided metal strands where the metal is preferably a shape memory alloy such as NITINOL®.
- the metal fabric is braided in the form of a tube that can be fitted onto a cylindrical mandrel and then heat-treated so that in its expanded configuration, the prosthesis will have an internal diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the mandrel on which it is heat-treated.
- the graft may comprise a 72, a 144, or a 288-strand tubular wire braid using wires of selected diameters dependent on the number of wires employed in the braiding process Using a tubular braid of about 20-30 mm in diameter with a predetermined pitch and pick such that the graft exhibits a pore size less than 100 microns, the graft can be longitudinally stretched to a reduced diameter permitting it to be passed through the lumen of a 7 French guiding catheter that can readily be inserted into the vascular system using the Seldinger technique. Upon exit from the distal end of the delivery catheter at the desired target site, the graft 12 will self-expand to a limit defined by the vessel wall in which it is disposed.
- the graft delivery device 10 comprises a pusher catheter 14 having a male Luer coupler 16 of a standard variety affixed to its proximal end 18.
- the delivery catheter may be of various lengths and may have an outer diameter of from about 50 to 10 French, depending on the location of the vessel segment to be treated, allowing it to pass through an internal lumen of an outer guide catheter 20.
- the guide catheter 20 has a lumen of a size to receive the pusher catheter 14 therethrough with a close tolerance so that blood flow between the two is substantially blocked.
- Affixed to its proximal end 22 of the guide is a female Luer fitting 24 that is adapted to mate with the male Leur fitting 16 affixed to the proximal end 18 of the delivery catheter 14.
- a wire or cable 26 Disposed within the lumen of the pusher catheter 14 is a wire or cable 26 whose length allows it to extend beyond the full length of the delivery catheter 14 when pushed from its proximal end portion.
- Laser welded to the distal end of the cable or wire 26 is a bead that is spherical or frusto-conically shaped clamp member 28 and a short, predetermined distance proximal of the clamp member 28 is an annular washer-like member 30 that is also welded or otherwise fixedly attached to the cable or wire 26.
- a helically- wound compression spring 32 slips over and surrounds the cable or wire 26 and is operatively disposed between the proximal end of the male Luer fitting 16 and a releasable clamp 34 here shown as a tubular sleeve 36 having a transversely extending threaded bore leading to the lumen of the tubular sleeve 36. Fitted into this threaded bore is a thumbscrew 38 that when tightened down against the wire or cable 26 serves to lock the sleeve 36 to that cable or wire.
- the prosthesis 12 in its expanded configuration is slipped over the tapered clamp member 28 and the proximal end of the cable or wire 26 is fitted through a disposable, tear-away funnel member (not shown) before being inserted into the distal end 15 of the pusher catheter 14 and fed down its length.
- the proximal ends of the strands are made to feed into the lumen of the pusher catheter 14 and now, as the cable or wire 26 is pulled in the proximal direction, the proximal ends of the wire strands 13 become captured between the bead member 28 and the lumen wall of the pusher catheter 14. So long as the tension is maintained, the free ends 13 of the braided prosthesis 12 will remain captured.
- tension is applied at the proximal end of the wire or cable 26 as the sleeve 36 is pushed in the distal direction to thereby compress the coil spring 32 between the sleeve 36 and the Luer fitting 16. With the spring 32 so compressed, the thumbscrew 38 will be tightened to thereby hold the sleeve 36 in position relative to the coil or wire 26, thus maintaining the tension force on the cable or wire 26.
- the assembly comprising the pusher catheter 14, the compression spring 32, the clamping member 34 can be drawn in the proximal direction while holding the female Luer fitting 24 stationary, thus drawing the distal end 15 of the pusher catheter along with the prosthesis 12 into the lumen of the outer guide catheter 20. All of these steps of clamping the braided device to the pusher catheter 14 and drawing the prosthesis 12 within the lumen of the outer guiding catheter 20 may be performed at a manufacturer's facility prior to packaging and sterilization of the assembly.
- a cardiologist may first gain percutaneous entry of the guide catheter 20 containing the stent or a stent/graft or a graft (the prosthesis) and route the distal end thereof under fluoroscopic viewing to the target site of an aneurysm to be reinforced. While keeping the outer guide catheter 20 stationary, the pusher catheter 14 is advanced in the distal direction until its distal end 15 to which the prosthesis 12 is clamped exits the distal end of the guide catheter 20. So long as the compression spring is providing the tension force on the cable, the prosthesis remains coupled to the distal end of the pusher catheter allowing it to be again retracted into the lumen of the outer guide catheter should it become necessary to reposition the device before it is released.
- the physician merely has to loosen the thumbscrew 38 and then move the cable or wire 26 in the distal direction sufficiently far so that the washer 30 pushes against the proximal end surfaces of the wires 13 to move the prosthesis free of the end of the pusher catheter.
- the prosthesis 12 has self- expanded to a larger diameter so that the bead 28 can readily be withdrawn from the interior of the tubular prosthesis.
- the delivery system 10 can then be withdrawn from the vascular system.
