技术领域
在一些实施例中,本发明涉及可植入医疗装置及其制造和使用方法。一些实施例涉及输送系统,如所有类型的导管系统,其用于传输这种装置。
背景技术
支架是一种导入体腔内的医疗器械且在本领域内是众所周知的。通常,将支架植入血管中具有狭窄或腔内动脉瘤的部位,即通过所谓的“微创技术”,其中通过支架传输系统或“导入器”将处于径向收缩状态,任选地通过鞘和/或导管抑制成径向压缩状态,的支架传输至其所需的部位。导入器可从身体外的进入位置进入体内,如通过患者的皮肤或通过经小手术方式暴露血管的“下切”技术。
支架、移植物、支架移植物、腔静脉滤器、可膨胀框架和类似的可植入医疗装置(下文统称为支架)为径向膨胀的内用假体,其为能经脉管腔内植入并在经皮导入后进行径向放大的典型的脉管内植入物。支架可被植入各种体腔或脉管中,如在血管系统、泌尿道、胆管、输卵管、冠状血管、继发血管等之中。支架可用于加强身体血管以及防止在血管系统中在血管成形术后发生再狭窄。它们可以自膨胀,通过内部径向力进行膨胀,如被安装在气球上时,或通过自膨胀和气球的组合而实现可膨胀(混合的可膨胀)。
可从管状材料、从平板(其被切割或蚀刻并随后卷起)或从一个或多个交织线或编织物,通过切割或蚀刻一种设计等方法而形成支架。
在脉管系统中,在脉管分叉处形成狭窄是不寻常的。分叉为脉管系统或身体其他部分的区域,其中第一(或母)脉管分叉为两个或多个分支脉管。在这样的分叉处形成狭窄病变或病变时,病变会影响脉管中的仅一个(即,分支脉管或母脉管),脉管中的两个或所有这三个脉管。然而,在需要应用支架的部位是并置的或其延伸跨过动脉或静脉中分叉(例如,作为哺乳动物主动脉至髂总动脉的分叉)时,许多现有技术中的支架的使用并不是完全令人满意的。
仍然需要一种比现有设计提供更好多处的新型支架设计。
上面提到和/或描述的技术不是为了将本文所提到的任何专利、公开或其他信息承认为关于本发明的“现有技术”。此外,这一部分不应被解释为已进行了搜索或不存在如37C.F.R.§1.56(a)限定的其他相关信息。
在本申请中任何地方所提及的所有美国专利和申请以及所有其他公开的文件均以全文引用方式并入本文。
在不限制本发明范围的情况下,下面阐明了关于本发明所要求保护的一些实施例的发明概要。在下面本发明的具体实施方式中可找到本发明概述的实施例的其他细节和/或本发明的额外实施例。
在说明书中还提供了技术公开的摘要,这仅是为了符合37C.F.R.1.72。摘要的目的不是用于解释权利要求的范围。

具体实施方式
虽然本发明可通过许多不同的形式而体现,但是本文将详细地描述本发明的一些具体实施例。此描述为本发明原理的示例且不用于将本发明限制为示出的特定实施例。
出于本公开的目的,除非另有规定,图中类似的参考标记应指代类似的特征。
图1示出支架10的一个实施例的平展图。支架10包括管状的可膨胀框架。框架可从非膨胀状态膨胀至具有更大尺寸(例如:更大直径)的膨胀配置。支架10包括近端12和远端14。
框架包括蛇形带20和连接杆16。连接杆16在相邻的蛇形带20之间进行连接。在一些实施例中,多个连接杆16构成连接杆列18,且支架10包括沿支架10长度方向交替的蛇形带20和连接杆列18。在一些实施例中,连接杆列18不包括支架框架的其他部分,如蛇形带20。
理想地,每个蛇形带20构成管状的闭合结构。每个蛇形带20限定近端21和远端22。每个蛇形带20包括交替的柱杆24和回转部30。每个柱杆24延伸在两个回转部30之间。理想地,回转部30包括交替的近端回转部32和远端回转部36,其中近端回转部32位于蛇形带20的近端21且远端回转部36位于蛇形带20的远端22。
通常,回转部30至少与其所连接至的柱杆24一样宽。如图1所示,回转部30通常比回转部30所连接至的柱杆24更宽。理想地,回转部30的宽度为回转部30所连接至的柱杆24的宽度的1.0-1.3倍。
在一些实施例中,蛇形带20的所有近端回转部32都在共同的圆周c1上彼此相对齐。
在一些实施例中,蛇形带20的远端回转部36包括第一远端回转部37和第二远端回转部38。在一带子20中,第一远端回转部37在共同的圆周c2上彼此相对齐。同样地,第二远端回转部38在共同的圆周c3上彼此相对齐,该c3偏离第一远端回转部37的共同圆周c2。
在一些实施例中,每个连接杆16被连接在一个蛇形带20的第二远端回转部38和相邻蛇形带20的近端回转部32之间。在一些实施例中,连接杆16未被连接至任何第一远端回转部37。
在一些实施例中,第二远端回转部38比第一远端回转部37宽。如图1所示,第二远端回转部38比第一远端回转部37宽大约50%(大约是其宽度的1.5倍)。理想地,第二远端回转部38的宽度比第一远端回转部37宽40%-60%(大约是其宽度的1.4-1.6倍)。
在一些实施例中,第二远端回转部38的外侧部分40具有与第一远端回转部37的外侧部分40相同的曲率半径。在一些实施例中,第二远端回转部38的内侧部分41的曲率半径小于第一远端回转部37的内侧部分41的曲率半径。
在一些实施例中,第一远端回转部37具有与近端回转部32相同的宽度。在一些实施例中,第一远端回转部37和近端回转部32的外侧部分40具有相近的曲率半径,且第一远端回转部37和近端回转部32的内侧部分41具有相近的曲率半径。
在一些实施例中,蛇形带20包括第一柱杆25和第二柱杆26。每个第一柱杆25在近端回转部32和第一远端回转部37之间延伸。每个第二柱杆26在近端回转部32和第二远端回转部38之间延伸
在一些实施例中,第二柱杆26比第一柱杆25长。如图1所示,第二柱杆26比第一柱杆25长大约50%(约为其长度的1.5倍)。理想地,第二柱杆26比第一柱杆25长50%-70%(约为其长度的1.5-1.7倍)。
在一些实施例中,第二柱杆26比第一柱杆25宽。在一些实施例中,第二柱杆26为锥形并在一端具有较大的宽度。例如,在一些实施例中,第二柱杆26在其第一端46连至近端回转部32并以其第二端47连至第二远端回转部38。第二端47比第一端46宽,且柱杆26沿其长度逐渐变细。因此,第一端46比第二端47窄。在一些实施例中,第一端46具有与第一柱杆25相同的宽度。
在一些实施例中,第一远端回转部37具有与第一柱杆25相同的宽度。在一些实施例中,第二远端回转部38具有与第二柱杆26相同的宽度。
在一些实施例中,第二柱杆26包括锥形部分74和非锥形部分75。非锥形部分75的侧壁相互平行的延伸,而锥形部分74的侧壁是不平行的。在一些实施例中,锥形部分74的长度为第二柱杆26的一半,且非锥形部分75的长度为其另一半。
在一些实施例中,第二柱杆26的第一侧56沿其长度方向是直的,且第二柱杆26的第二侧57则不是直的。例如,第二侧57可包括两个不平行的直的部分。
在一些实施例中,蛇形带20界定一个或多个较强的柱杆对50。较强的柱杆对50包括一对第二柱杆26和第二远端回转部38,其共同地提供比蛇形带20的其他部分,如第一柱杆25和第一远端回转部37,更大的对支架膨胀抵抗。当蛇形带20包括一个或多个较强的柱杆对50时,蛇形带20的余下部分将在较强的柱杆对50的膨胀/变形前经历膨胀/变形。这会激励蛇形带20的余下部分实现预定的膨胀形状,理想的是在较强的柱杆对50的变形前实现。
理想地,相邻蛇形带20的较强柱杆对50不在支架的纵向上彼此对齐。因此,相邻蛇形带20的较强柱杆对50在支架的圆周方向彼此偏离。
在一些实施例中,蛇形带20包括至少一个较强的部分52和至少一个较弱的部分54。一般来说,较强的部分52对支架的膨胀比较弱的部分54提供更大的阻力。在一些实施例中,较强的部分52包括第二远端回转部38,其比在较弱的部分54中的回转部30更宽。在一些实施例中,较强的部分52包括第二远端回转部38和至少一个第二柱杆26,它们具有比在较弱的部分54中的回转部30和柱杆24更宽的部分。在一些实施例中,较弱的部分54包括至少一个回转部30和多个柱杆24。在一些实施例中,较弱的部分54包括近端回转部32、第一柱杆25和第一远端回转部37。
在一些实施例中,较弱的部分54包括一个或多个较弱的柱杆对51。当较强的柱杆对50能够连接至第二远端回转部38时,较弱的柱杆对51通常连接至第一远端回转部37。在一些实施例中,较弱的柱杆对51还包括连接至这对柱杆的第一远端回转部37。
在一些实施例中,每个较强的柱杆对50提供多个较弱的柱杆对51。如图1所示的蛇形带20,三个较弱的柱杆对51配一个较强的柱杆对50配(例如:按3:1的比例)。在其他实施例中,蛇形带20能够每个较强柱杆对50配置更多或更少的较弱柱杆对51(考虑2:1、4:1、6:1、8:1等的比例,以及任何其他合适的比例)。
在一些实施例中,支架10包括多个具有类似形状/构造的蛇形带20。图1示出数个蛇形带20,其具有相同形状/构造,但沿支架10的长度具有不同的旋转方位。
在一些实施例中,支架10包括多个具有类似形状的蛇形带与唯一的远端蛇形带60的组合。在一些实施例中,可考虑相对于其他的蛇形带20反向的远端带60,例如在镜像构造中具有相似的结构。在一些实施例中,远端带60的所有远端回转部36均在共同的支架圆周上相对齐。在一些实施例中,远端带60包括第一近端回转部33和第二近端回转部34。第一近端回转部33在共同的圆周上彼此相对齐,且第二近端回转部34在偏离第一近端回转部33的共同圆周的共同圆周上彼此相对齐。
在一些实施例中,远端带60包括第一柱杆25和第二柱杆26。在一些实施例中,一对第二柱杆26和一第二近端回转部34构成较强的柱杆对50。
理想地,远端带60通过一个或多个连接杆16连接至支架10,其中每个连接杆16连接于第一近端回转部33。理想地,远端带60的第二近端回转部34未与连接杆16连接。
图2示出支架10的另一个实施例。图2所示的支架10包括基本上与图1所示的蛇形带20相似的蛇形带20。图2包括不同于图1所示的远端带60。
图2所示的远端带60包括在共同的圆周上对齐的远端回转部36,以及第一近端回转部33和第二近端回转部34。第一近端回转部33在共同的圆周上彼此相对齐,且第二近端回转部34在偏离第一近端回转部33的共同圆周的共同圆周上彼此相对齐。在一些实施例中,第二近端回转部34的宽度与第一近端回转部33相同,它们可具有与远端回转部36相同的宽度。在一些实施例中,远端带60包括较长的柱杆28和较短的柱杆27。在一些实施例中,较长的柱杆28和较短的柱杆27具有相同的宽度。
图3和4示出处于不同膨胀阶段的另一实施方式的连接杆16。在一些实施例中,连接杆16具有S形。在一些实施例中,连接杆包括多个直的部分70和多个至少在非膨胀状态中弯曲的部分71。在一些实施例中,连接杆16包括多个在共同的支架圆周上定向的部分。例如,如图3所示,连接杆16包括多个直的部分70,其中各自与共同的支架圆周相交。这种连接杆16在支架膨胀期间能够重新定向,使得连接杆16没有两个部分在共同的圆周上定向,如图4中所示。
在一些实施例中,蛇形带20在膨胀期间会经历缩短(例如:见图1,在膨胀期间,蛇形带20的近端21和远端22会移动彼此靠近,且在膨胀状态下的蛇形带20比在非膨胀状态下占支架10更短的长度部分)。在一些实施例中,连接杆16被配置成沿支架的长度方向膨胀,其膨胀量大约等于蛇形带20的缩短量。
图5和6示出处于不同膨胀阶段的另一实施方式的连接杆16。在一些实施例中,连接杆16具有S形。
图7和8示出处于不同膨胀阶段的连接杆16的另一配置。图7和8包括连接杆16,其与图5和6所示的连接杆基本相似,该连接杆的特点如第一连接杆16a。图6和7进一步包括第二连接杆16b,其连接在与第一连接杆16a相同的回转部30之间。在一些实施例中,第二连接杆16b构成第一连接杆16a的镜像。在一些实施例中,第一连接杆16a连接至回转部30的上部,且第二连接杆16b连接至回转部30的下部。
图9示出管状形式的支架10的实施例。在一些实施例中,连接杆16包括多个直的部分70和多个弯曲的部分71。如图9所示,每个连接杆16包括4个弯曲的部分71和3个细长的直的部分70。
图10-12示出形成于支架10部分中的应变释放孔66的实例。图1和2示出应变释放孔66其它实例。在一些实施例中,在连接杆16中形成应变释放孔66。在一些实施例中,支架10的每个连接杆16包括应变释放孔66。
在一些实施例中,应变释放孔66延伸至第二远端回转部38的一部分中。在一些实施例中,连接杆16还包括第二应变释放孔66b,如图10中所示。在一些实施例中,应变释放孔66延伸了连接杆16的整个长度,如图11所示。
在一些实施例中,支架10由图1或图2所示的元件所组成。在一些实施例中,蛇形带20由图1或图2所示的蛇形带20中的元件所组成。
本文所公开的支架形态特别适合于通常被认为是在与传统支架材料相比时具有相对较低的屈服强度和相对较低的延展性的材料。例如,本文所公开的支架图案很好地适用于镁制得的支架。
如本申请中所使用的,具有相对较低的屈服强度的支架包括拉伸屈服强度为30ksi(30,000psi)或更小的材料。
如本申请中所使用的,具有相对较低的延展性的支架包括在拉伸断裂时经历小于30%的伸长率的材料。
图13示出另一实施方式支架10的平展图案。在一些实施例中,支架10包括至少一个蛇形带对80。图13包括多个蛇形带对80,以及如前所述的远端带60。
理想地,蛇形带对80包括第一蛇形带81和第二蛇形带82。理想地,第一蛇形带81被配置成与前面所述的蛇形带20相类似(例如:与图1所示的蛇形带20中的大多数相类似)。理想地,第二蛇形带82被配置成与根据图1描述的远端带60相类似。
因此,理想地,第一蛇形带81包括在共同的支架圆周(见,例如,图1中的c1)上相对齐的近端回转部32、多个在另一共同的支架圆周(见,例如,图1中的c2)上相对齐的第一远端回转部37以及多个在另一共同的支架圆周(见,例如,图1中的c3)上对齐的第二远端回转部38。第一蛇形带81包括如前所述的第一柱杆25和第二柱杆26。
理想地,第二蛇形带82包括在共同的支架圆周上相对齐的远端回转部36、多个在另一共同的支架圆周上对齐的第一近端回转部33以及多个在另一共同的支架圆周上对齐的第二近端回转部34。第二蛇形带82包括如前所述的第一柱杆25和第二柱杆26。
理想地,蛇形带对80的蛇形带81和82对齐成使得第一蛇形带81的回转部与第二蛇形带82的回转部在支架的纵向上对齐。理想地,带子81和82相对齐以使第一带子81的第二柱杆26位于第二带子82的第二柱杆26之间的半程位置。例如,第一带子81的第二远端回转部38位于第二带子82的第二近端回转部34之间的居中位置。
在一些实施例中,蛇形带对80的第二远端回转部38和第二近端回转部34纵向上相重叠(例如:共同的支架圆周将与第二远端回转部38和第二近端回转部34相交)。
理想地,通过至少一个连接杆16将相邻的蛇形带对80连接起来。
图14示出比较柱杆对在各膨胀阶段的角度的曲线图。本文所公开的包括较强的柱杆对50和较弱的柱杆对51的支架10在膨胀期间将大体上从较弱的柱杆对51表现出较大的形变量,这是因为与连接较强的柱杆对50的回转部(例如:第二远端回转部38)相比,连接较弱的柱杆对51的回转部(例如:第一远端回转部37)可在较低的应力下发生变形。较强的柱杆对50的柱杆26之间的角度θ1为较强的柱杆对角度θ1。较弱的柱杆对51的柱杆25之间的角度θ2为较弱的柱杆对角度θ2。如图14所示,较弱的柱杆对角度θ2通常大于较强的柱杆对角度θ1。在一些实施例中,在柱杆对的每个柱杆的中心轴之间测量柱杆对张开角θ1和θ2。在一些实施例中,在柱杆对的每个柱杆的直的第一侧56之间测量柱杆对角度θ1和θ2,例如,当柱杆逐渐变细时,其中柱杆对角度θ1和θ2为柱杆对(例如:50和51)的柱杆(例如:25和26)之间的内角。
本发明的支架可由任何合适的生物相容的材料所制成,该材料包括一种或多种聚合物、一种或多种金属或聚合物和金属的组合。合适材料的实例包括可生物降解且为生物相容的材料。在一些实施例中,支架可具有一个或多个由一种或多种会腐蚀的金属、聚合物或其组合而构成的组件,从而可在体内溶解、分解或以其他方式分解而不产生不良作用。这种材料的实例已被称作可降解的、可生物降解的、生物可降解的、可侵蚀的、生物可吸收的、可生物再吸收的等。通常,可生物降解的材料将经历作为正常生物学过程一部分的分解为无害化合物的过程。合适的可生物降解的材料包括聚乳酸、聚乙醇酸(PGA)、胶原蛋白或其他结缔组织蛋白或天然材料、聚己内酯、透明质酸、粘附蛋白和这些材料的共聚物,以及他们的组合物和组合,和其他可生物降解的聚合物的组合。可以使用的其他聚合物包括聚酯和聚碳酸酯共聚物。合适的金属实例包括但不限于不锈钢、钛、钽、铂、钨、铁、铌、黄金和任何上述金属的合金。合适的合金实例包括铂-铱合金、不锈钢-铂合金、钴-铬合金,包括Elgiloy和Phynox、MP35N合金和镍-钛合金,例如镍钛诺。额外的可生物降解的合金,如镁合金和锌合金、铁-锰、铁-锰-钯、镁、镁-锌、镁-铝、镁-稀土(稀土类元素,例如钕、钇等)均为合适的,以及美国专利US6854172和US2006/0052864中讨论的一些实例的全部内容均通过引用并入本文。
本发明的支架可由形状记忆材料,如超弹性镍钛诺或弹簧钢而制成,或可由塑性变形的材料制成。在使用形状记忆材料的情况下,支架可设有记忆的形状且随后可变形为具有更小直径的形状。一旦将支架加热至转变温度并从其除去任何限制,支架就可恢复至其记忆的形状。
可从管状材料、从平板(其被切割或蚀刻并随后卷起)或从一个或多个交织线或编织物,通过切割或蚀刻一种设计等方法而形成支架。本领域已知的或随后发展的任何其他合适的技术均可用于制造本文所公开的本发明的支架。
在一些实施例中,支架、传输系统或总成的其他部分可包括一个或多个可通过成像方式,如X-射线、MRI、超声等检测到的区域、带子、涂层、元件等。在一些实施例中,支架和/或相邻总成的至少一部分至少部分是不透射线的。
在一些实施例中,支架的至少一部分被配置成包括一个或多个用于传输治疗剂的机构。通常,该剂将以置于支架的表面区域上的涂层或其他材料层的形式存在,其适于在支架植入部位或与其相邻的区域进行释放。
治疗剂可以是一种药物或其他医药产品,如非基因型剂、基因型剂、细胞物质等。合适的非基因型治疗剂的一些实例包括但不限于:抗血栓剂,如肝素、肝素衍生物、血管细胞生长促进剂、生长因子抑制剂、紫杉醇等。在剂包括基因型治疗剂处,这种基因型剂可包括但不限于:DNA、RNA和其各自的衍生物和/或组件;刺猬蛋白等。在治疗剂包括细胞物质处,细胞物质可包括但不限于:人类起源和/或非人类起源的细胞,及其各自的组件和/或衍生物。在治疗剂包括聚合物剂处,聚合物剂可以是聚苯乙烯-聚异丁烯-聚苯乙烯三嵌段共聚物(SIBS)、聚氧乙烯、硅橡胶和/或任何其他合适的基底。
上述公开的目的是说明性的而不是详尽无遗的。这个说明书将向本领域的普通技术人员建议许多变化和替代方案。在各图中显示的以及上述的各种元件可进行组合或修改以实现所需的组合。所有这些替代方案和变化都旨在包括在权利要求的范围内,其中术语“包括”的意思是“包括但不限于”。
进一步地,在从属权利要求中提出的特定特征可在本发明的范围内以其他方式相互结合,从而应确认本发明也可专门用于具有从属权利要求中功能的任何其他可能的组合的其他实施例。例如,为了权利要求的公开,跟附的任何从属权利要求应可替代地以源自拥有在这种从属权利要求中提及的所有先决条件的所有优先权利要求的多重从属形式进行书写,其条件是在管辖范围内接受这种多重从属形式(例如:每个直接取决于权利要求1的权利要求应可替代地取决于所有前面的权利要求)。在管辖中限制多重从属权利要求的格式处,下面的从属权利要求的每一个应可替代地以单独从属权利要求形式进行书写,该单独从属权利要求形式从除了在下面这样的从属权利要求中列出的具体权利要求外的优先的先前拥有的权利要求创建依赖性。
这样就完成了本发明的描述。本领域的技术人员可认识到本文所述具体实施例的其他等价物也被包括在所附的权利要求中。
