Description
ENDOVASCULAR STENT GRAFT
Description Technical Field
The present invention relates to medical devices and more particularly to stent grafts for vascular placement. Background of the Invention
Endoluminal exclusion of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) by transluminal implantation of stent grafts has in selected cases become an attractive alternative to open surgical aneurysmal repair. It has been done on an elective basis after detailed preoperative visualization and measurements are made of the aneurysmal and adjacent arterial anatomy. Recent developments and a greater variety of new stent graft systems has enabled endoluminal exclusion to be extended to patients with ruptured AAA and to perform it on emergency basis. The stent graft systems for both elective and emergency AAA exclusions have been constructed with conventional surgical synthetic materials DACRON® or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) supported by metallic expandable stents.
Conventionally, stent grafts that are emplaced within the vascular networks include one or more stents affixed to graft material. The stent grafts are secured at a treatment site by endovascular insertion utilizing introducers and catheters, whereafter they are enlarged radially and remain in place by self- attachment to the vessel wall. In particular, stent grafts are known for use in treating descending thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms where the stent graft at one end defines a single lumen for placement within the aorta and at the other end is bifurcated to define two lumens, for extending into the branch arteries.
One example of such a stent graft is disclosed in PCT Publication No. WO 98/53761 in which the stent graft includes a sleeve or tube of biocompatible graft material (such as DACRON® or polytetrafluoroethylene) defining a lumen, and further includes several stents secured therealong, with the stent graft spanning the aneurysm extending along the aorta proximally from the two iliac arteries; the reference also discloses the manner of deploying the stent graft in the patient
utilizing an introducer assembly. The graft material-covered portion of the single- lumen proximal end of the stent graft bears against the wall of the aorta above the aneurysm to seal the aneurysm at a location that is spaced distally of (farther from the heart) the entrances to the renal arteries. Thin wire struts of a proximal stent extension traverse the renal artery entrances without occluding them, since no graft material is utilized along the proximal stent while securing the stent graft in position within the aorta when the stent self-expands. An extension is affixed to one of the legs of the stent graft to extend along a respective iliac artery and, optionally, extensions may be affixed to both legs. Another known stent graft is the ZENITH™ AAA stent graft sold by William A. Cook Pty. Ltd., Brisbane, Queensland, AU. Summary of the Invention
The stent frame of the present invention comprises at least one stent, and preferably a plurality of stents connected together such as with monofilament line to define a stent frame. Accompanying the stent or stent frame is a sleeve or tube of a naturally occurring biomaterial, such as collagen, which is highly desirable, particularly a specially derived collagen material known as an extracellular matrix (ECM), such as small intestinal submucosa (SIS) . A layer of the small intestine submucosa (SIS) is disposed along at least the inside surface and preferably also along the outside surface of the stent frame. The SIS tube is affixed to the stent frame at the ends of the stent frame and preferably also at the connections of the stent bodies, such as by sutures, and additional sutures may optionally also be placed in the middle of every leg of each stent.
Preferably, the tube of SIS is an intestinal wall segment that is integral circumferentially and of appropriate diameter, and that initially is twice as long as the stent frame so that it is first inserted within and along the frame when the stent frame is in its fully expanded state, and the tube then is everted to be folded back from one end of the frame and along the outside of the frame, defining a stent graft with two layers of SIS material for strength, sutured to the stent frame along its inner and outer surfaces. In another aspect, the tube may be initially a sheet (or several sheets) of SIS material that is sewn into a tubular form and then assembled to the stent frame.
The objective of the present invention is to provide SIS sandwich stent grafts for treatment of acute AAA rupture and short-term reaction of native aorta to their placement. Brief Description of the Drawing
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is an elevation view of the stent graft of the present invention;
FIGURE 2 illustrates the stent frame and the SIS sleeve;
FIGURE 3 illustrates a sheet of SIS material prior to being formed into a sleeve shape; and
FIGURE 4 illustrates an inside layer of SIS within a stent frame. Detailed Description
The figures show a stent graft 1 0 (FIG. 1 ) that is comprised of a stent frame 1 2 (FIG. 2) and a covering 1 4 (FIGs. 2 and 3) having a sleeve or tube shape. Stent frame 1 2 is comprised of one or more stents 1 6 having first and second opposite ends 1 8,20, with adjacent ones of stents 1 6 being secured together by a monofilament 22 at adjacent first and second stent ends 1 8,20. Preferably the stents are of the type having eyes, loops or eyelets 24 that locate the monofilament at a fixed position axially therealong. Stents 1 6 are of the type that are self- expandable or optionally balloon-expandable so that they may be reduced in diameter for delivery through a catheter along the vasculature of the patient to the treatment site, such as in the aorta, whereupon they expand or are expanded to resume a larger diameter and press against the vessel wall and become anchored in position. Such stents may be of stainless steel, such as in wire form, or may be of a superelastic material such as nitinol; the stent frame may also be of cannula such as is disclosed in PCT Publication No. WO US98/1 9990.
In accordance with the present invention, covering 1 4 is of an ECM, such as small intestine submucosa (SIS), which material and its preparation and use is described in greater detail in U.S. Patent No. 6,206,931 B1 . SIS is a relatively acellular, collagen-based biomaterial obtained from swine small intestines which provides a framework for cells that after emplacement within a patient, becomes
remodeled by host tissue and degrades and reabsorbs over time. It is resistant to infection and does not cause an adverse immunologic reaction. The SIS material is of the type sold as OASIS® wound dressing and as SURGISIS® surgical mesh (Cook Biotech, Inc., West Lafayette, IN). SIS material has displayed excellent physical and mechanical properties when surgically used as aortic, carotid and superior vena cava grafts; it becomes replaced by adjacent host tissue and becomes identical to the native vessel.
Besides SIS, examples of ECM's include pericardium, stomach submucosa, liver basement membrane, urinary bladder submucosa, tissue mucosa, and dura mater. SIS is particularly useful, and can be made in the fashion described in Badylak et al., U.S. Patent 4,902,508; also see Intestinal Collagen Layer described in U.S. Patent 5,733,337 to Carr and in 1 7 Nature Biotechnology 1 083 (Nov. 1 999); and see Cook et al., WIPO Publication WO 98/221 58, dated 28 May 1 998. Irrespective of the origin of the material (synthetic versus naturally occurring), the material can be made thicker by making multilaminate constructs, for example SIS constructs as described in U.S. Patents 5,968,096; 5,955, 1 1 0; 5,885,61 9; and 5,71 1 ,969. Animal data show that the SIS used in venous valves can be replaced by native tissue in as little as a month's time. Additionally Elastin or Elastin Like Polypeptides (ELPs) and the like offer potential as a material to fabricate the covering to form a device with exceptional biocompatibility.
In the present invention, the sleeve or tube shape 1 4 has a wall thickness about 0.1 mm thick and is of a diameter selected to complement the vessel diameter, and the diameter of the stent frame is likewise so selected. The tube 1 4 may be either the type that remains integral circumferentially during processing after removal from the small intestine (FIG. 2), or may be processed initially into a flat tissue 1 4' (FIG. 3) having opposite lateral edges 1 4A which are then connected together along a seam such as by suturing to define a sleeve shape; the sleeve may also be several such tissues sewn together. In FIG. 4, a single layer of SIS material covering 1 4 is shown as an inner layer 28 within the stent frame 1 2, with running sutures stitching the covering to the stent eyelets at every second row of the small Z-shaped strut pattern of the stents 1 6, such as with synthetic absorbable surgical suture 32 of 7-0
polyglyconate. An outer layer of SIS material may similarly be secured to the stent frame.
The tube 1 4 is selected to have an axially length as long as the length of the stent frame, and preferably twice such length, so that the tube may be secured to the stent frame along the inside surface of the stent frame and also along the outside surface thereof. The tube 1 4 is initially inserted through the lumen of stent frame 1 2 to extend beyond proximal end 26. Tube 1 4 is then everted to be drawn back over proximal end 26 and along the outside surface of stent frame 1 2, thus forming a "sandwich" having two SIS material layers 28,30 that extend along both the inside and outside surfaces of the stent frame, respectively. It is preferable that the stent graft end at which the sleeve is folded over, be the proximal end, since the fold will prevent blood flow between the layers.
The two layers of SIS material 28,30 are preferably both secured to the stent frame by suturing. Using a conventional suture 32 of a biocompatible filament such as 7-0 polypropylene (PROLENE®, Ethicon Inc., Somerville, NJ), the SIS material layers are secured to the stent frame, at least at both the proximal and distal ends 26,34 of the stent frame, and preferably at the first and second ends 1 8,20 of each stent 1 6 of the stent frame. Optionally, the SIS covering may be also sutured to the midpoints of each strut 36 of each stent 1 6. One such stent frame is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,282,824 in which each stent of the frame comprises a zig-zag arrangement of struts disposed in a circumferential arrangement, the ends of each strut being joined to the ends of adjacent struts at eyes or eyelets, and the first and second ends of the stent being a circular array of such eyelets. It is preferable that the stent frame be such as to provide eyes, loops, eyelets or other similar formation to secure the suture connecting the covering to the stent frame thereat, from movement along the struts of the stents. Suturing is preferred over other forms of connecting the sleeve to the stent frame, since no other materials are thus used that could adversely interact or affect the SIS material, or other methods are used such as heat or photoactivating radiation commonly used to cure bonding materials.
Suturing of the SIS covering at stent eyelets 24 assures that the suture 32 will remain fixed in position axially with respect to the stent frame. The suturing procedure is conducted with the stents of the stent frame at their fully expanded diameter, corresponding generally to the diameter of the tube 1 4, so that upon reexpansion during deployment at the treatment site in the aorta, the covering will only be minimally stressed in the circumferential direction, thus only minimally stressing the perforations through the tissue forming during the suturing procedure. Axial stability of the stent frame assures that the tube 1 4 will be at most only minimally stressed in the axial direction upon deployment at the treatment site. Preferably, the suture joins the covering to the stent frame at those locations of the stent frame that assure that the suture is fixed in position against movement along the struts of the stent.
SIS sandwich stent graft placement excludes the aneurysm and the rupture, when present. The SIS sandwich stent graft effectively excludes AAA and aortic rupture and is rapidly incorporated in the aortic wall. Gross and histologic studies reveal incorporation of the stent grafts into the aortic wall with replacement of SIS by dense neointima which is completely endothelialized in areas where the stent graft is in direct contact with the aortic wall.
Examples of the SIS sandwich stent grafts were hand-made in the research laboratory of the Oregon Health Science University. The stent frame consisted of five Gianturco-Rόsch Z® stents (Cook Incorporated, Bloomington, IN) constructed from 0.01 2" stainless steel wire and connected together with 5/0-monofilament nylon line. Their diameter was 1 5 mm and each was 1 .5 cm long. The stent combination was thus 7.5 cm long. Wet SIS sheets (Cook Biotech Inc., West Lafayette, IN) 0.1 mm thick were sewn in to a sleeve or tube shape which was placed through the inside and over the outside of the stent frame. The SIS tube was connected to the stent frame on the outside at the connection of the first and second stent bodies using 7-0 polypropylene (PROLENE® , Ethicon Inc., Somerville, NJ). Interrupted sutures were also placed at the other stent bodies' connections and in the middle of every leg of each stent. The completed SIS sandwich stent graft measured 1 4 mm in diameter and was 7.5 cm long. The SIS sandwich stent grafts were
soaked in antibiotic solution (CEFOTAN®, Lenea Pharmaceuticals, Wilmington, DE) for at least 24 hours before placement.
Vascular sheaths were introduced into the right carotid and right femoral arteries. A 40cm long 1 2-F sheath was introduced into the carotid artery and advanced into the descending aorta, for introduction of an occlusion balloon catheter. The occlusion balloon was advanced into the upper abdominal aorta and was used to control bleeding from aortic rupture. An 8-F sheath was introduced into the femoral artery and advanced into the abdominal aorta. After intraaortic administration of 3000-IU heparin, a 6-F pigtail catheter was advanced in the abdominal aorta and an aortography was performed. The diameter of the infrarenal aorta was measured with a calibration guidewire introduced through the occlusion balloon.
The SIS sandwich stent graft was loaded in the distal tip of an 1 1 -F sheath and delivered to the AAA through the femoral 1 2.5-F sheath. The stent graft was held in position with a pusher to cover the entire AAA while the 1 1 -F sheath was withdrawn. Aortography was then repeated with a multiple side hole pigtail catheter from the carotid sheath. Full expansion of the stent graft was assured by dilation with a 1 5mm-diameter balloon catheter.
The SIS sandwich stent grafts were placed into the distal aorta excluding the aneurysm and the aortic rupture. Being preloaded, stent placement was expeditious and lasted no more than 2 to 3 minutes. Pressure measurements through the stent grafts did not show any gradient. Immediate follow-up aortograms showed excellent aortic patency, exclusion of the aortic ruptures and no evidence of leaks around the stent grafts. Abdominal aortograms showed excellent patency of stent grafts without evidence of migration, aortic rupture, perigraft leaks or dissection.
Aortic aneurysms were obliterated by organized thrombus and aortic ruptures were well healed. The stent grafts were incorporated into the aortic wall. In their upper and lower portions which were in direct contact with the aortic wall; they were smooth and well endothelialized. In the central portions which were in contact with the thrombosed aneurysm, endothelialization was incomplete. Some
areas exhibited focal thrombi and some endothelialized areas had an irregular protuberant surface.
Microscopic sections showed replacement of SIS material by dense fibrous tissue forming a neointima well fused with the underlying aortic wall. Foci of chronic inflammation, occasional suture granulomas, localized foreign-body type giant cell reaction to stent wires and small blood vessels were seen within the fibrous tissue. On the luminal surface the neointima over the rupture site and on the upper and lower parts of the stent grafts was covered by intact endothelium. The central portions of the stent graft were only partially endothelialized with residual foci of partially organized thrombus.
Ruptured AAA with its devastating pathophysiological effects carries high mortality, and without treatment is fatal in about 90% of patients. However, even with surgical repair mortality rates are excessively high, averaging about 50% and approaching 90% in patients in shock and patients over 80 years of age. There has been a tendency therefore not to surgically treat patients with significant comorbid factors. With development of new modular and easily customized stent grafts, these patients with high risk factors for surgery might benefit from endoluminal exclusion of ruptured AAA. There have been already 22 patients with ruptured AAA reported in the literature with successful endovascular treatment. To enable basic imaging and stent graft customization, an occlusion balloon is placed from the axillary artery in the distal thoracic descending aorta, as an equivalent of an aortic clamp, in some unstable patients.
The transluminal stent graft placement has great potential in the treatment of aortic rupture, whether it is simple or related to aortic aneurysm. The stent graft mechanically excludes rupture and AAA, the biomaterial SIS used for its cover supports rapid development of neointima consisting of a dense, fibrotic tissue. The neointima adheres to the underlying tissue and the stent graft thus becomes incorporated into the aortic wall.
Development of neointima and its endothelial lining is accelerated in areas where the SIS stent graft cover is in direct contact with the aortic wall. These areas become fully endothelialized at 4 weeks. This is faster than with stent grafts covered
with thin-walled polyester (DACRON®) material. At the area of the aneurysm where the SIS cover is in contact with organized thrombus, its development of neointima and particularly of its endothelial lining occurs.
