Description
Dispositivo para introducir una prótesis
endoluminal con prótesis endoluminal.
La presente invención se refiere a un juego o
dispositivo para introducir en la vasculatura un stent o prótesis
endoluminal para uso en un vaso sanguíneo, como se especifica en el
preámbulo de la reivindicación 1. Dicho juego es conocido por el
documento WO 89/08433.
Para proporcionar una pared intraluminal
protésica es utilizado un stent, por ejemplo, en el caso de una
estenosis, para lograr una conducto sin obstrucción de la sangre en
la zona de la estenosis. Una prótesis endoluminal comprende un stent
que porta una prótesis de capa de injerto de tela, y que es
utilizada, por ejemplo, para tratar un aneurisma por supresión de la
presión sobre una parte debilitada de una arteria, de modo que se
reduzca el riesgo de embolia o de rotura natural de la pared de la
arteria. Típicamente, un stent o prótesis endoluminal es implantado
en un vaso sanguíneo en el lugar de una estenosis o un aneurisma
mediante las denominadas "técnicas de invasión mínima", en las
que el stent es comprimido radialmente hacia dentro y es conducido
por medio de un catéter al lugar requerido, a través de la piel del
paciente o mediante técnica de incisión sencilla, con la que el vaso
sanguíneo en cuestión se deja al descubierto por medios quirúrgicos
menores. Cuando el stent es situado en el emplazamiento correcto, el
catéter es retirado, y se hace o se permite que dicho stent se
reexpanda en el vaso hasta un diámetro predeterminado.
El documento EP 0508473 A2 describe un
introductor para el envío a la vasculatura, en una bifurcación
angiológica en la que el vaso sanguíneo se bifurca en dos ramas, un
injerto bifurcado que cuenta con una parte proximal, destinada a ser
dispuesta en dicho vaso sanguíneo, y una parte distal destinada a
ser dispuesta, al menos parcialmente, en uno de dichos dos vasos
ramificados, cuyo introductor comprende una envuelta exterior
tubular y medios de empuje para la entrega de dicho injerto a la
vasculatura. En particular, el introductor del documento EP 0508473
A2 comprende una cápsula flexible que está conectada por un extremo
a un miembro tubular, y destinada a alojar el injerto bifurcado en
configuración plegada, con una pata plegada hacia atrás contra el
cuerpo principal para su entrega a la vasculatura. Un eje de catéter
de balón es insertado deslizablemente a través de la cápsula, y
porta un pulsador de estabilización montado en una posición fija
sobre dicho eje de catéter, a una distancia predeterminada de la
extremidad proximal del balón, que está sujeto a la extremidad
distal del eje. El pulsador de estabilización está así situado cerca
de la parte principal del material que forma el injerto, que está
plegado hacia arriba dentro de la cápsula. Durante el uso, el
miembro tubular y la cápsula son retraídos, mientras que el catéter
es mantenido en una posición estacionaria. Al retirar el miembro
tubular y la cápsula, el pulsador de estabilización en acoplamiento
con el injerto, hace que éste sea expulsado gradualmente de la
cápsula. Cuando el balón es inflado subsiguientemente para sostener
unos medios de fijación proximales del injerto contra la pared de la
aorta, la cápsula puede ser entonces retraída aún más.
El documento WO 89/08433 A1 describe un
introductor diferente para la entrega de una prótesis de injerto
dentro de la vasculatura, que comprende una cápsula que está fija a
una pestaña extrema de un tubo en un extremo posterior de dicha
cápsula. La prótesis de injerto es insertada dentro de la cápsula
hasta un emplazamiento de despliegue deseado. La cápsula y el tubo
son luego retraídos, mientras que un pulsador dispuesto
deslizablemente dentro de la cápsula es presionado contra la
prótesis de injerto, para empujarla fuera de una abertura en el

El documento US 4562596A describe un dispositivo
tubular para la inserción de un injerto de aorta. El dispositivo
tubular comprende dos tubos concéntricos estrechos, interior y
exterior, que pueden deslizarse entre sí. Un extremo proximal del
tubo interior porta una pluralidad de brazos espaciados
circunferencialmente, que se extienden radialmente con respecto a
ambos tubos, y cada brazo termina en un gancho u ojal. Los brazos
pasan a través de un anillo abierto que está montado sobre el
extremo proximal del tubo exterior, de modo que el deslizamiento
entre sí de los dos tubos hace que los brazos pivoten en torno a los
puntos en los que están unidos al tubo interior, entre una posición
aplastada en la que los brazos quedan en general planos contra el
tubo exterior, y una posición extendida en la que los brazos se
extienden radialmente hacia fuera con un ángulo mayor con respecto
al eje de los tubos, de modo similar a un mecanismo de paraguas. Los
tubos interior y exterior están destinados a extenderse a través del
centro del injerto de la aorta, y los ganchos u ojales de los
extremos de los brazos están destinados a montar liberablemente el
injerto de aorta en el dispositivo para la inserción dentro del vaso
sanguíneo. Un tercer tubo se extiende a través del centro del tubo
interior, y porta una parte superior en forma de bala que puede ser
extendida proximalmente con respecto a los tubos interior y
exterior, para facilitar la entrada del dispositivo en la
vasculatura. Finalmente, el dispositivo tubular del documento US
4562596A incluye una envuelta exterior retirable que sirve para
proteger un injerto de aorta montado sobre los tubos interior y
exterior, que es retirada antes del despliegue del dispositivo.
El documento US 5104404 describe un sistema para
situar un stent articulado en un lugar de uso deseado, cuyo sistema
comprende un catéter de guía, un catéter exterior para comprimir y
situar el stent dentro de un vaso sanguíneo, un catéter interior
para sostener el stent en el lugar deseado mientras el catéter
exterior es retirado para depositar el stent en su sitio, y un hilo
metálico de guía opcional.
En toda esta memoria descriptiva, el término
"proximal" quiere decir "más próximo al corazón", y el
término "distal" quiere decir "más alejado del
corazón".
De acuerdo con la presente invención, se
proporciona un juego o dispositivo según la reivindicación 1, para
situar dentro de la vasculatura, en una bifurcación angiológica en
la que el vaso sanguíneo se ramifica en dos vasos, un stent o
prótesis endoluminal bifurcado.
El introductor que contiene un stent o prótesis
puede ser llevado dentro de la vasculatura hasta un lugar de entrega
predeterminado, y la envuelta exterior es luego retirada al tiempo
que se mantiene la parte proximal del empujador en una posición
fija, hasta que la parte proximal del stent o prótesis es desplegada
desde el introductor en el vaso sanguíneo; la envuelta exterior y la
parte proximal del empujador son retirados luego al tiempo que se
mantiene la parte distal del empujador en una posición fija, hasta
que la parte distal del stent o prótesis es desplegada desde el
introductor, al menos parcialmente, dentro del primer vaso
ramificado; y el introductor es retirado luego de la
vasculatura.
Por tanto, durante el uso, el stent bifurcado
puede ser situado en estado radialmente comprimido cuando el segundo
stent es situado en el lugar de uso, y se permite luego que el stent
bifurcado se reexpanda para acoplarse a la superficie endoluminal
del vaso sanguíneo.
En un aspecto particular de la presente
invención, el stent intraluminal bifurcado comprende una parte
proximal destinada a ser situada durante el servicio en un vaso
sanguíneo, en yuxtaposición con una bifurcación, con una primera
parte distal del stent destinada a extenderse a través de la
bifurcación en uno de los vasos sanguíneos ramificados, y una
segunda parte distal del stent destinada a permitir que la sangre
fluya desde la parte proximal al interior del otro vaso ramificado.
La primera parte distal del stent puede estar formada de manera
integral con la parte proximal.
Típicamente, el extremo proximal de dicho stent
bifurcado puede estar abocinada radialmente hacia fuera, hacia su
extremidad, para acoplarse a la superficie endoluminal de la
arteria, con lo que impide así el movimiento longitudinal del stent
bifurcado durante el servicio.
En algunas realizaciones, la segunda parte distal
del stent puede comprender una parte cooperante hembra, destinada a
acoplarse a una parte de acoplamiento macho de otro stent destinado
a extenderse en el otro vaso sanguíneo ramificado, de modo que
durante el uso, el stent bifurcado pueda ser conectado "in
situ" al otro stent.
El otro stent puede ser situado también
percutáneamente o mediante técnica de incisión sencilla, en un lugar
distal del stent bifurcado, de modo que la parte de acoplamiento
macho del otro stent en estado radialmente comprimido, sea
introducida dentro de la parte cooperante hembra expandida del stent
bifurcado; y puede permitirse que el otro stent se reexpanda, de
modo que la parte de acoplamiento macho se acople a la parte
cooperante hembra del stent bifurcado.
Cada uno de los stents puede comprender un hilo
metálico sinuoso en configuración tubular. Las configuraciones
sinuosa y tubular puede ser impartidas al hilo mediante
arrollamiento sobre un mandril. Típicamente, cada stent puede ser
hecho a partir de un hilo metálico de nitinol
(níquel-titanio) con memoria de forma, que puede ser
enrollado en un mandril para formar el stent con una configuración
tubular de diámetro ligeramente mayor que el del vaso sanguíneo en
el que ha de ser utilizado dicho stent. Éste puede ser recocido a
temperatura elevada, y luego se deja que se enfríe al aire, de modo
que dicho hilo de nitinol "recuerde" la configuración con la
que fue enrollado sobre el mandril.
Dicho hilo metálico de nitinol puede ser del tipo
"M", que es martensítico a temperaturas por debajo
aproximadamente de 13ºC, y es austenítico a temperaturas
aproximadamente por encima de 25ºC; por tanto, se apreciará que el
hilo de tipo "M" será austenítico a una temperatura corporal de
37ºC. Típicamente, el recocido puede ser llevado a cabo
aproximadamente a 500ºC o más durante al menos aproximadamente 60
minutos; después de enfriado, el hilo puede ser sumergido en agua
fría para facilitar su retirada del mandril, con dicho hilo en su
forma martensítica maleable. Típicamente, el agua fría puede tener
una temperatura inferior aproximadamente a 10ºC, y el hilo puede ser
sumergido durante aproximadamente 5 minutos o más. Una ventaja del
uso del hilo de nitinol para formar el stent de acuerdo con la
presente invención es que dicho hilo es "super elástico" en su
estado austenítico, y la fuerza radial hacia fuera ejercida por el
stent sobre la pared del vaso sanguíneo durante el uso es, por
tanto, sustancialmente constante, con independencia del diámetro de
vaso y del stent expandido.
El hilo puede tener una configuración helicoidal,
como se describe en el documento
EP-A-0556850. Alternativamente, el
hilo puede tener una configuración totalmente nueva, es decir, una
en la que dicho hilo forma una pluralidad de anillos o virolas de
modo que el plano de la circunferencia de cada anillo sea
sustancialmente perpendicular al eje longitudinal del stent. Cada
anillo puede comprender una vuelta sustancialmente completa del hilo
de configuración sinuosa; opcionalmente, al completarse cada anillo,
el punto de arrollamiento del hilo puede ser desplazado
longitudinalmente con respecto al eje de arrollamiento, para formar
el anillo siguiente. Completado dicho anillo siguiente, el punto de
arrollamiento es desplazado más longitudinalmente con respecto al
eje de arrollamiento para formar el siguiente anillo, y así
sucesivamente.
Se apreciará que la ventaja de esta nueva
disposición es que los planos de los anillos no quedan desalineados
u oblicuos con respecto al eje longitudinal del stent; los extremos
longitudinales del stent son "cuadrados" con respecto a dicho
eje longitudinal, de modo que cuando se hace o se permite que el
stent se expanda in situ, no hay sustancialmente
rectorcimiento de él al acortarse su longitud. Como se apreciará,
esto representa una ventaja significativa, ya que en áreas de
estenosis o aneurisma es deseable reducir al mínimo el movimiento
del stent dentro del vaso sanguíneo, de modo que se reduzca el
trauma potencial del paciente.
Típicamente, los stents de la variedad tanto
helicoidal como perpendicular, comprenden también unos medios de
fijación para sujetar un vértice del hilo sinuoso de un anillo a un
vértice yuxtapuesto de un anillo vecino, de modo que cada anillo sea
sostenido por los anillos vecinos. Los medios de fijación pueden
comprender un elemento de bucle de un material de sutura, por
ejemplo, para atar entre sí los vértices yuxtapuestos; el elemento
de bucle puede comprender también un bucle formado de un material
termoplástico, tal como por ejemplo, polipropileno.
Alternativamente, los medios de sujeción pueden ser un reborde
formado de material termoplástico en torno a vértices yuxtapuestos.
También alternativamente, los medios de fijación pueden ser un
bucle, anillo, o grapa formados de un hilo metálico tal como
nitinol.
La parte de acoplamiento macho y la parte
cooperante hembra de los stents interacoplables pueden estar
formadas separadamente del resto de las respectivas partes no
acoplables de estos stents, y luego las partes acoplables y no
acoplables se sujetan entre sí por medios de fijación.
Las partes de stent proximal y distal del stent
bifurcado pueden ser formadas separadamente; el extremo distal de la
parte proximal del stent puede estar sujeta al extremo proximal más
ancho de la primera parte troncocónica intermedia del stent; y el
extremo distal más estrecho de dicha primera parte troncocónica
intermedia del stent puede estar sujeta al extremo proximal de la
parte distal del stent. La parte hembra cooperante del stent
bifurcado puede estar constituida por una segunda parte troncocónica
del stent que está sujeta al extremo distal de la parte proximal del
stent, en yuxtaposición con la primera parte troncocónica.
Alternativamente, las partes troncocónicas
primera y segunda puede ser omitidas, y las partes proximal y distal
del stent pueden ser sujetadas directamente entre sí.
La parte cooperante hembra puede estar
constituida por una parte del stent en general cilíndrica, sujeta a
dicha parte proximal del stent en relación espaciada
transversalmente con respecto a la parte distal.
Cada uno de los stents puede portar una capa de
injerto tubular formada a partir de un tejido biocompatible, en
yuxtaposición con el stent; la capa combinada de stent y de injerto
constituye una prótesis endoluminal. Típicamente, la capa de injerto
puede estar dispuesta por fuera del stent; no obstante se apreciará
que en algunas realizaciones, la capa de injerto puede estar
dispuesta por dentro del stent. En algunas realizaciones, la capa de
injerto puede estar sujeta al stent por elementos de bucle, tales
como por ejemplo, bucles de polipropileno. El tejido biocompatible
puede ser una tela de poliéster o de politetrafluoroetileno;
típicamente, dicha tela puede ser un tejido, o una tela de poliéster
de urdimbre tejida. En algunas realizaciones, el tejido o una tela
de urdimbre tejida puede estar formada en configuración bifurcada
sin costura como una manga, para un stent bifurcado.
En algunas realizaciones, la parte de
acoplamiento macho del primer stent y la parte cooperante hembra del
segundo stent pueden dejarse sin cubrir. Alternativamente, la capa
de tela de injerto puede extenderse hasta la extremidad proximal de
la superficie exterior de la parte de acoplamiento macho, y puede
estar plegada sobre la extremidad distal de la parte de acoplamiento
hembra, para formar un manguito interior; durante el uso, la tela
exterior de la parte de acoplamiento macho puede topar contra la
parte sobreplegada de la tela, por dentro de la parte cooperante
hembra, para formar una obturación sustancialmente hermética a la
sangre.
El stent que tiene la parte de acoplamiento macho
puede tener también un injerto tubular. Si se requiere, puede ser
introducido en estado radialmente comprimido, de modo que la parte
de acoplamiento macho se acople a la parte cooperante hembra
intermedia de la prótesis bifurcada; y luego se permite que dicha
prótesis se reexpanda in situ, de modo que la parte de
acoplamiento macho se acople a la parte cooperante hembra, para
impedir la separación longitudinal de dos prótesis en servicio.
La prótesis bifurcada puede estar destinada a su
uso en la parte infrarrenal de la aorta de un mamífero, en
yuxtaposición con la bifurcación de las arterias ilíacas comunes,
para tratamiento de aneurismas de aorta abdominales.
Cualquiera de los stents puede estar dotado en su
superficie exterior de unas púas o ganchos de hilo espaciados
circunferencialmente, destinados a acoplarse a la superficie
endoluminal de la arteria principal, para impedir el movimiento
longitudinal o deslizamiento del stent durante el uso. Típicamente,
las púas o ganchos pueden estar dispuestos sobre una parte del stent
que cuenta con una capa de tela de injerto, de modo que durante el
uso, los puntos de la arteria que están acoplados a las púas o
ganchos queden cubiertos por el injerto de tela. Los expertos en la
técnica apreciarán que el trauma en la pared de la arteria causado
por los ganchos o púas pueden producir émbolos, por lo que la
disposición del injerto de tela sobre dichas púas o ganchos durante
el uso ayudará a evitar la introducción de dichos émbolos dentro de
la corriente sanguínea.
La parte de acoplamiento macho puede estar dotada
de ganchos o púas espaciados circunferencialmente sobre su
superficie exterior, para acoplarse a la superficie interior de
dichos medios cooperantes hembra, con lo que se refuerzan los medios
de conexión contra la separación de los stens entre sí durante el
servicio.

La presente invención incluye un aparato para
tratar enfermedades o dolencias angiológicas en cualquier vaso
sanguíneo bifurcado. Un ejemplo de dicho vaso sanguíneo bifurcado es
la parte infrarrenal de una arteria aorta de un mamífero, donde se
bifurca hacia las arterias ilíacas comunes. Ejemplos de dolencias
que pueden ser tratadas con el uso del aparato de la presente
invención incluyen el aneurisma, la estenosis, y la oclusión.
Un stent bifurcado, que se indica con 10 en la
fig. 1A, comprende un armazón de hilo metálico construido en cuatro
partes separadas, a saber, parte proximal 12, primera parte
troncocónica 14, primera parte distal 16, y segunda parte
troncocónica 18. Dicho stent 10 bifurcado porta una capa de injerto
de tela (figs. 5, 6, y 7) para uso como prótesis endoluminal, por
ejemplo, en la parte infrarrenal de la aorta de un mamífero en
yuxtaposición con la bifurcación de las arterias ilíacas comunes. No
obstante, se apreciará que los stents bifurcados (con o sin capas de
injerto de tela) para uso en partes diferentes del sistema
angiológico y para mamíferos diferentes, pueden ser construidos de
acuerdo con la invención por variación de las dimensiones de dicho
stent según las necesidades.
Cada una de las cuatro partes del stent bifurcado
10 está hecha sustancialmente del mismo modo, por arrollamiento de
un hilo de nitinol con memoria de forma, típicamente un hilo de
nitinol tipo M, en torno a un mandril 46.
La construcción del ejemplo de parte proximal 12
del stent bifurcado 10 se muestra en las figs. 2A y 2B; el hilo de
nitinol tipo M, que tiene típicamente un diámetro de 0,46 mm, es
enrollado en torno a un mandril 46 para formar una pluralidad de
anillos 20. La superficie de arrollamiento del mandril 45 está
dotada de una pluralidad de patillas sobresalientes 47 dispuestas en
modalidad de zig-zag para cada uno de los anillos
20, de modo que cada uno de dichos anillos 20 de nitinol sigue un
camino continuo para definir una pluralidad de vértices 22
espaciados circunferencialmente. Cada anillo 20 es enrollado sobre
el mandril 46 de modo que el plano de la circunferencia de cada
anillo 20 sea sustancialmente perpendicular al eje longitudinal del
mandril.
Cuando es formado un anillo 20, por ejemplo el
anillo 20a, el punto de arrollamiento del hilo de nitinol es
desplazado longitudinalmente con respecto al eje del mandril 46,
para formar el siguiente anillo sucesivo 20b. El stent mostrado en
la fig. 2A es el stent formado sobre el mandril 46 mostrado en la
fig. 2B, después de cortar dicho stent longitudinalmente y girarlo
45 grados para mostrar su construcción.
La parte proximal del ejemplo de stent bifurcado
de la fig. 1A es formada sobre el mandril con un diámetro aproximado
de 24 mm, y una longitud en la dirección longitudinal de
aproximadamente 55 mm. En las figs. 1A, 2A, y 2B se apreciará que la
parte proximal 12 está constituida por tres anillos 20 de anchura
unitaria en el extremo proximal 24 de la parte proximal 12, dos
anillos intermedios 25 de anchura unitaria doble, y en su extremo
distal 26, un anillo único 20 de anchura unitaria. En la realización
ilustrada, los anillos intermedios 25 tienen una pluralidad de
descentramientos 25a. Dichos descentramientos 25a son formados
cuando el hilo es pasado en torno a las patillas 47 del mandril 46.
Dichos descentramientos 25a añaden estabilidad al stent. Cuando el
hilo de nitinol ha sido enrollado sobre el mandril 46, dicho hilo es
recocido a una temperatura elevada, y luego se deja enfriar.
En esta realización, el hilo es recocido a una
temperatura aproximada de 500ºC durante 60 minutos, y luego se deja
enfriar al aire. La finalidad del recocido es por tanto que el hilo
de nitinol, en su forma austenítica, "recuerde" su
configuración de enrollamiento sobre el mandril 46; por tanto, se
apreciará que otras temperaturas y duraciones de recocido están
incluidas dentro de la presente invención, con tal de que el hilo de
nitinol "recuerde" su configuración enrollada.
Después del recocido y el enfriamiento, el hilo
metálico es sumergido en agua fría a menos de 10ºC, aproximadamente
durante 5 minutos, y luego dicho hilo es retirado del mandril y los
vértices yuxtapuestos 22 de los anillos vecinos 20 son sujetados
entre sí por los medios de fijación 99 (véase la fig. 4A), que en
este ejemplo son filamentos de polipropileno de 0,076 mm. Cada
vértice 22 de cada anillo 20 que tiene un vértice yuxtapuesto de un
anillo vecino 20 es atado a dicho vértice yuxtapuesto 22. No
obstante, se apreciará que en otras realizaciones, sólo algunos de
los vértices yuxtapuestos son sujetados de esta manera.
Además de los filamentos de polipropileno, los
medios de sujeción pueden comprender un elemento de bucle 99a de un
material de sutura, por ejemplo, para atar entre sí dichos vértices
yuxtapuestos como se muestra en la fig. 4B. Los medios de sujeción
pueden comprender también un cordón 99b formado de un material
termoplástico en torno a dichos vértices yuxtapuestos, como se
muestra en la fig. 4C. También alternativamente, los medios de
sujeción pueden ser un bucle 99c, anillo 99d, o grapa 99e, formada
de un hilo metálico tal como nitinol, como se muestra en las figs.
4d, 4e, y 4f, respectivamente.
El ejemplo de las partes troncocónicas primera y
segunda 14, 18 del armazón mostrado en las figuras, están formadas
sustancialmente de la misma manera que la parte proximal 12, por
arrollamiento del hilo de nitinol sobre un mandril y recociendo
luego el hilo antes de retirarlo de dicho mandril. Como se muestra
en la fig. 3, las partes troncocónicas primera y segunda 14, 18
están constituidas cada una por tres anillos 20 de anchura unitaria.
El mandril está ahusado, de modo que el extremo proximal de cada una
de las partes troncocónicas 14, 18 del ejemplo está formado con un
diámetro aproximado de 12 mm, y el extremo distal 32 de cada una
está formado con un diámetro aproximado de 9 mm. La longitud total
de cada una de las partes troncocónicas 14, 18 del ejemplo es
aproximadamente de 18 mm. El hilo metálico utilizado para dichas
partes troncocónicas 14, 18 es de nitinol tipo M, con un diámetro de
0,28 mm. Los vértices yuxtapuestos 22 de cada una de las partes
troncocónicas 14, 18 del ejemplo son atados entre sí mediante el uso
de filamentos de polipropileno de 0,076 mm, como antes se ha dicho.
Las partes troncocónicas primera y segunda 14, 18 están sujetas al
extremo distal 26 de la parte proximal 12 del stent 10 en relación
espaciada transversalmente, como se muestra en la fig. 1A, mediante
sujeción de los vértices 22 del anillo 20 que forma el extremo
proximal más ancho 30 de cada una de las partes troncocónicas 14, 18
a los vértices yuxtapuestos 22 del anillo 20 sobre el extremo distal
26 de la parte proximal 12.
El ejemplo de primera parte distal 16 del stent
bifurcado 10 está formada por arrollamiento de hilo de nitinol tipo
M, que tiene típicamente un diámetro de 0,28 mm, sobre un mandril,
para formar doce anillos 20 espaciados longitudinalmente como se
muestra en la fig. 4; el ejemplo de la primera parte distal tiene
una longitud total aproximada de 66 mm, y un diámetro uniforme
aproximado de 9 mm. El extremo proximal 34 y la parte distal 16
están sujetos al extremo distal 32 más estrecho de la primera parte
troncocónica 14 mediante la atadura de cada vértice 22 sobre el
extremo proximal 34 de la primera parte distal 16, a un vértice
yuxtapuesto del extremo distal 32 de la primera parte troncocónica
14, con el uso en esta realización de filamentos de polipropileno de
0,028 mm.
La parte proximal 12, las partes troncocónicas
primera y segunda 14, 18, y la primera parte distal 16, están
cubiertas cada una de ellas con una capa de injerto tubular de una
tela tejida biocompatible (figs. 5, 6, y 7), tal como por ejemplo,
una tela tejida plana hecha de poliéster de 30 ó 40 denier. Las
capas de tela tubular pueden estar unidas a las partes proximal y
distal 12, 16 del stent 10 mediante cosido, por ejemplo, de
filamentos de polipropileno de 0,076 mm en torno a los vértices 22
del armazón subyacente. El stent cubierto con tela constituye una
forma de prótesis endoluminal.
La parte proximal 12 del armazón de hilo puede
estar dotada de una pluralidad de ganchos o púas 43 espaciados
circunferencialmente, que sobresalen a través de la capa de tela
tubular para acoplarse a la superficie endoluminal de una arteria
principal en servicio.
La configuración sinuosa de cada vuelta 20 del
armazón de hilo del stent 10 permite que la prótesis sea comprimida
con elasticidad radialmente hacia dentro, para la entrega percutánea
o con incisión sencilla, por ejemplo, a un lugar intraluminal en la
sección infrarrenal de la arteria aorta.
Un marcador opaco de rayos x puede estar unido a
uno o más extremos de un stent, de modo que la situación de éste
pueda ser comprobada con el uso de rayos x. Como se muestra en la
fig. 4A, dicho marcador radioopaco puede comprender típicamente un
hilo de oro o platino 17 arrollado sobre un extremo del stent 16.
Alternativamente, el marcador radioopaco puede ser un tubo 17a
dispuesto en torno a un tramo del hilo del stent, lo que se muestra
también en la fig. 4A. Típicamente, en el stent bifurcado, el
marcador está sujeto al stent en línea con la parte distal del
stent, de modo que esta parte pueda ser alineada con una de las
arterias ramificadas a insertada dentro de ella in situ.
La endoprótesis bifurcada es situada en la
sección infrarrenal de la arteria aorta en yuxtaposición con la
bifurcación de las arterias ilíacas comunes, de modo que la primera
parte distal 16 de la prótesis se extienda dentro de una de dichas
arterias ilíacas comunes. Las púas o ganchos se acoplan a la
superficie endoluminal de la arteria principal, para impedir el
desplazamiento o deslizamiento longitudinal de la prótesis durante
el uso.
Se apreciará que cuando la prótesis bifurcada
está situada y reexpandida en la posición ajustada, la sangre puede
fluir desde la arteria aorta al interior de la parte proximal 12 de
la prótesis, desde donde puede fluir al interior de la arteria
ilíaca común a través de la parte troncocónica 14 y de la primera
parte distal 16, y también dentro de la otra arteria ilíaca común a
través de la segunda parte troncocónica 18.
En los casos en los que se requiera implantar una
prótesis en la otra arteria ilíaca común, puede ser utilizada una
segunda prótesis que comprenda un segundo stent 40, como se muestra
en la fig. 1B. Dicho segundo stent 40 incluye un armazón de hilo
metálico que comprende una parte troncocónica proximal 42 y una
parte distal 44. La parte distal 44 del segundo stent 40 puede estar
cubierta también con una capa de injerto tubular de una tela
biocompatible, tal como por ejemplo, una tela de poliéster o
politetrafluoroetileno (figs. 5, 6, y 7).
La parte troncocónica proximal 42 está construida
del mismo modo que las partes troncocónicas 14, 18 del stent
bifurcado, 10 y la parte distal 44 está construida del mismo modo
que la parte distal 16 del stent bifurcado 10. El extremo distal de
la parte troncocónica proximal 42 está sujeta al extremo proximal de
la parte distal 44 por fijación de los vértices yuxtapuestos con el
uso de filamentos de polipropileno, como antes se ha descrito.
La parte troncocónica proximal 42 es guiada, en
el estado radialmente comprimido, al interior de la segunda parte
troncocónica 18 del stent bifurcado 10. Luego se permite que el
segundo stent 40 se reexpanda a su configuración recordada, hasta
que la parte distal 14 se acopla a la superficie endoluminal de la
otra arteria ilíaca común, y la superficie exterior de la parte
troncocónica proximal 42 se acopla a la superficie interior de la
segunda parte troncocónica 18 del stent bifurcado 10.
Como con los otros stents aquí descritos, la
parte troncocónica proximal 42 puede estar formada con unas púas o
ganchos 43 espaciados circunferencialmente, como se muestra en la
fig. 1B, que se acoplan al armazón de hilo metálico de la segunda
parte troncocónica 18 del stent bifurcado 10. Cuando las púas 43
están en la parte proximal 12, se acoplan a la pared interior de la
arteria.
Las configuraciones troncocónicas de la segunda
parte troncocónica 18 del stent bifurcado 10, y de la parte
troncocónica proximal 42 del segundo stent 40, son tales que en la
posición instalada descrita, las prótesis se juntan y bloquean entre
sí para impedir su separación longitudinal durante el servicio. Las
púas o ganchos del segundo stent 40 y/o una parte troncocónica
proximal 42, ayudan a impedir dicha separación longitudinal.
En otro ejemplo de la presente invención, una
prótesis endoluminal bifurcada 50 como se muestra en la fig. 5,
incluye un stent bifurcado que comprende una parte proximal 52
ahusada radialmente hacia dentro desde su extremo proximal 54 hasta
su extremo distal 56, y unas partes troncocónicas distales primera y
segunda 58, 60 espaciadas transversalmente, que están sujetas al
extremo distal 56 de la parte proximal 52; y dicha parte proximal 52
está cubierta con una capa de injerto tubular de tela biocompatible
62.
Para el uso, la prótesis es situada
percutáneamente o mediante métodos de incisión sencilla, en una
arteria en yuxtaposición con una bifurcación arterial; la sangre
puede fluir a través de la parte troncocónica proximal 52 dentro de
cada una de las arterias ramificadas a través de las partes
troncocónicas distales primera y segunda 58, 60. Si se requiere una
prótesis en una o ambas arterias ramificadas, una prótesis separada
que comprende un stent del tipo mostrado en la fig. 1b antes citado
cubierta con tela, puede ser conectada a la prótesis bifurcada 50
por inserción y reexpansión del extremo proximal de dicha prótesis
separada en una o ambas partes troncocónicas distales 58, 60 de la
prótesis 50, para acoplamiento en ellas.
Otra variante de la presente invención se muestra
en la fig. 6, que ilustra una prótesis endoluminal bifurcada 70 que
tiene una parte proximal 72 sujeta por su extremo distal 74 a dos
partes intermedias troncocónicas 76, 78, espaciadas
transversalmente.
Una de dichas partes intermedias troncocónicas 76
está sujeta por su extremo distal a una parte distal alargada 80. El
extremo proximal 82 de la parte proximal 72 está abocinado
radialmente hacia fuera, hacia su extremo proximal 82, para
acoplarse a la superficie intraluminal del vaso sanguíneo principal
en servicio. Salvo esta parte abocinada, toda la endoprótesis está
cubierta con una capa de injerto de tela como se muestra en la fig.
6; dicha capa de injerto es portada por fuera de armazón de hilo
metálico, y está plegada sobre la extremidad distal 84 de la otra
parte intermedia troncocónica 78, para formar un revestimiento
interior en dicha otra parte intermedia troncocónica 78.
La citada otra parte intermedia troncocónica 78
constituye una parte cooperante hembra destinada a recibir una parte
de acoplamiento macho de otra prótesis, como se indica con 86 en la
fig. 6. Dicha otra prótesis 86 incluye una parte troncocónica
proximal 88 que constituye la parte de acoplamiento macho, y una
parte distal alargada 90. La totalidad de la otra prótesis 86 está
cubierta con una capa de injerto de tela, como se muestra en la fig.
6. Durante el servicio, la parte de acoplamiento macho 88 de la otra
prótesis 86 es introducida in situ dentro de la parte
cooperante hembra 78 y acoplada a ella, de la prótesis bifurcada 70,
de la manera aquí descrita anteriormente. La capa de tela de la
parte de acoplamiento macho 88 apoya frente a frente sobre la parte
sobreplegada de la capa de tela dispuesta por dentro de la parte
cooperante hembra 78, para formar con ella una obturación
sustancialmente hermética a la sangre.
En la fig. 7 se muestra otro ejemplo más en el
que una prótesis endoluminal bifurcada 91 tiene una parte proximal
92 en general cilíndrica, cuya parte proximal 92 está conectada por
su extremo distal 93 a una parte distal 94 alargada y en general
cilíndrica. Dicha parte proximal 92 está conectada también por su
extremo distal 93 a una parte intermedia 95 en general cilíndrica,
sujeta en relación espaciada transversalmente a la parte distal
alargada 94. Dicha parte intermedia cilíndrica 95 constituye una
parte de acoplamiento hembra destinada a recibir una parte de
acoplamiento macho en general cilíndrica de una segunda prótesis
alargada (no mostrada). La parte de acoplamiento macho está equipada
con unas púas exteriores espaciadas circunferencialmente, para
acoplarse a la parte cooperante hembra durante el servicio. Como se
muestra en la fig. 7, la totalidad de la prótesis bifurcada 91 está
cubierta con una capa de injerto de tela, salvo la parte abocinada
96 hacia el extremo proximal 97 de la parte proximal 92.
Con referencia a las figs. 8A a 8F se describe un
ejemplo de realización de un sistema de entrega. Este sistema es
utilizado para desplegar el stent bifurcado 10 cuando éste está
cubierto con una capa de injerto de tela, para crear una prótesis
endoluminal. El introductor 100 de acuerdo con la presente
invención, incluye una envuelta exterior 101. Dicha envuelta
exterior 101 es un tubo cilíndrico destinado a su inserción, ya sea
percutáneamente o mediante procedimientos de incisión sencilla en
una vasculatura, desde un punto de entrada al lugar de la
bifurcación donde ha de ser desplegada la prótesis.
Alojado dentro de la envuelta exterior 101 hay
una parte proximal 102 del empujador. Dicha parte proximal 102 del
empujador es un tubo cilíndrico que tiene un diámetro exterior menor
que el diámetro interior de la envuelta exterior 101.
Dispuesta dentro de la parte proximal 102 del
empujador está la parte distal 103 de dicho empujador. La citada
parte distal 103 del empujador es un tubo cilíndrico contenido
deslizablemente dentro de la parte proximal 102 del empujador. Dicha
parte distal 103 del empujador está destinada preferiblemente a
deslizarse a través de toda la longitud de la parte proximal 102 de
dicho empujador.
Dispuesto dentro de la parte distal 103 hay un
catéter 104 de balón. Dicho catéter 104 de balón está destinado a
deslizarse dentro de la parte distal 103 del empujador. En el
extremo delantero 105 del catéter 104 de balón hay un cono de morro
106. El balón 107 está unido al catéter 104 de balón entre el cono
de morro 106 y el extremo proximal 115 de la parte proximal 102 del
empujador.
Como se muestra en la fig. 8G, que es una vista
de un corte transversal del catéter 104 de balón en la dirección
A-A de la fig. 8F, el catéter 104 de balón tiene un
conducto 104a de hilo de guía. Dicho conducto 104a de hilo de guía
se extiende a través de la longitud del catéter 104 de balón, para
pasar un hilo de guía (no mostrado) a través del introductor 100. En
la realización ilustrada, el catéter 104 de balón incluye también un
orificio 109 de inyección y un conducto de inyección 109a. El
conducto de inyección 109a conecta el orificio de inyección 109 con
un lugar de inyección 108 en o cerca del extremo distal del catéter
104 de balón, como se muestra en la fig. 8E. Un líquido radioopaco
puede ser inyectado por el lugar de inyección 108, a través del
conducto de inyección 109a y dentro de la vasculatura, para
comprobar el despliegue de la prótesis.
En la realización ilustrada en las figs. 8F y 8G
se aprecia también que el catéter 104 de balón tiene un orificio de
inflar 110 situado en un punto en el que el balón 107 está unido al
catéter 104 de balón. Un conducto 110a para inflar el balón conecta
el orificio 110 de inflar dicho balón con el lugar 111 de inflado
(fig. 8E). El balón 107 puede ser inflado y desinflado desde el
lugar 11 de inflar el mismo, durante la colocación de la
prótesis.
En la realización alternativa ilustrada en la
fig. 9, unos obturadores 150, 151 pueden ser dispuestos en torno a
los extremos distales 160, 161 de la envuelta exterior 10 y de la
parte proximal 102 del empujador. Los obturadores 150, 151 pueden
estar formados de tubos de silicona.
La fig. 10A muestra una realización alternativa
del introductor 100. Como se muestra en dicha fig. 10A, hay
dispuestas unas aletas 112 y 113 en el extremo distal del
introductor 100. La aleta 112 está conectada a la parte proximal 102
del empujador, y la aleta 113 está conectada a la envuelta exterior
101. Las aletas 112 y 113 indican la orientación del giro de la
parte proximal 102 del empujador y de la envuelta exterior 101,
respectivamente. Esto a su vez indica la orientación de la parte
proximal 12 dentro de la envuelta exterior 101 y de la parte distal
16 dentro de la parte proximal 102 del empujador. Las aletas 112 y
113 de la realización ilustrada están dotadas también de los
orificios 112a y 113a.
Como se muestra en la fig. 10B, un vástago 128 u
otro dispositivo de fijación puede estar unido a las aletas 112 y
113 con el uso, por ejemplo, de unos tornillos a través de los
orificios 112a y 113a, sujetos por tuercas de mariposa 129 u otros
medios de fijación. El vástago 128 impide el movimiento relativo de
la parte proximal 102 del empujador y la envuelta exterior 101. Las
aletas pueden estar dispuestas también en la parte distal del
empujador 103, y pueden ser utilizadas para fijar la parte distal
103 del empujador a la parte proximal 102 de dicho empujador o a la
envuelta exterior 101, mediante el uso de un dispositivo de fijación
como antes se ha descrito.
En la fig. 10A se muestra también, como parte del
introductor 100, una válvula hemostática 114. Dicha válvula
hemostática 114 está conectada a la parte distal 103 del empujador,
y actúa como un simple obturador en torno al catéter 104 de balón.
Aunque impide la pérdida de fluido, la válvula hemostática 114
permite que el catéter 104 de balón se deslice dentro de la parte
distal 103 del empujador. Alternativamente puede ser utilizada una
válvula de Touhy-Borst (no mostrada) en lugar de la
válvula hemostática 114. La válvula de Touhy-Borst
es un dispositivo que puede ser apretado manualmente sobre el
catéter 104 de balón. Un apriete ligero de dicha válvula permite que
el catéter 104 de balón se deslice, y un apriete firme de dicha
válvula sujeta el catéter 104 del balón en su sitio.
Durante el uso, la prótesis debe ser cargada
primero dentro del introductor 100. Primeramente, la envuelta
exterior 101 es retirada del introductor 100. El catéter 104 de
balón es pasado luego a través de la parte distal 16 y de la parte
proximal 12 de la prótesis. Después, la prótesis es enfriada a una
temperatura aproximada de 10ºC o menos, y es comprimida radialmente.
A tal fin, la prótesis puede ser sumergida en agua fría. Dicha
prótesis debe permanecer preferiblemente en el agua durante la
operación de carga.
Al ser comprimido el stent de apoyo bajo la tela
que cubre la prótesis, se origina un exceso de tela. Este exceso
puede ser simplemente pinzado para unirlo y extendido sobre la
prótesis, comprimido en pliegues longitudinales.
La parte distal 16 de la prótesis en el estado
comprimido radialmente es insertada luego dentro de la parte
proximal 102 del empujador. La envuelta exterior 101 es estirada
luego sobre la parte proximal 12 de la prótesis, y sobre la parte
proximal 102 del empujador. Un filamento (no mostrado) puede ser
unido al extremo proximal de la parte proximal 12 de la prótesis, y
ensartado a través de la envuelta exterior 101. Este filamento puede
ser utilizado entonces para tirar de la parte proximal 12 a través
de la envuelta exterior 101. Durante el procedimiento de carga es
importante mantener la parte proximal 12 y la parte distal 16 de la
prótesis debidamente alineados con la envuelta exterior 101 y con la
parte proximal 102 del empujador. Pueden ponerse marcas sobre el
exterior de la envuelta exterior 101 y en la parte proximal 102 del
empujador, para asegurar una adecuada alineación.
Con referencia de nuevo a la fig. 8F, la prótesis
es insertada de modo que la superficie exterior de la parte proximal
12 haga contacto con la envuelta exterior 101 y sea retenida
radialmente por dicha envuelta, y la superficie exterior de la parte
distal 16 hace contacto con la parte proximal 102 del empujador y es
retenida radialmente por ella. El extremo 115 de la parte proximal
102 del empujador se acopla longitudinalmente a la parte proximal 12
de la prótesis, como se muestra en la fig. 8F.
El catéter 104 de balón es situado de modo que el
cono de morro 106 deje libre justamente el extremo proximal 117 de
la envuelta exterior 101. El introductor está ahora en condiciones
de ser insertado dentro del paciente.
Con referencia a la fig. 11, el introductor 100
es pasado a través de un punto de entrada (no mostrado), ya sea en
la piel del paciente (operación percutánea) o dentro de la propia
vasculatura, expuesta quirúrgicamente (operación de incisión
sencilla). El introductor 100 es insertado sobre un hilo de guía 170
dentro de la vasculatura, desde el punto de entrada hasta el lugar
de emplazamiento deseado en la bifurcación angiológica.
En la aorta, el introductor 100 es situado de
modo que el extremo 117 de la envuelta exterior 101 esté
aproximadamente a nivel con las arterias renales 180, como se
muestra en la fig. 11. El catéter 104 de balón es extendido luego,
al tiempo que se mantiene la envuelta exterior 101 en posición fija.
En esta realización, el catéter 104 de balón es extendido hasta que
el extremo distal 105 del cono de morro 106 está aproximadamente a
35 mm por encima de la punta proximal 117 de la envuelta exterior
101. Luego, al tiempo que se mantiene la parte proximal 102 del
empujador en una posición fija, la envuelta exterior 101 es retirada
hasta que la punta proximal de la prótesis está a nivel con la punta
proximal 117 de la envuelta exterior 101. Se apreciará que el
catéter 104 de balón no se mueve mientras la envuelta exterior 101
es así retirada.
El introductor 100 es repuesto luego para colocar
la prótesis en el emplazamiento deseado. La colocación apropiada
puede ser facilitada con el uso de marcadores readioopacos, como
antes se ha descrito. El catéter 104 de balón es extendido luego de
modo que dicho balón 107 quede por encima de las arterias renales
180. El balón 107 es inflado luego para cerrar la aorta, como se
muestra en la fig. 12.
Mientras se mantiene la parte proximal 102 del
empujador en posición fija, la envuelta exterior 101 es retirada
hasta que el extremo proximal de la prótesis sale desde dicha
envuelta exterior 101, como se muestra en la fig. 13. Con el uso de
un marcador radioopaco 120 dispuesto sobre el extremo proximal de la
prótesis, el introductor es girado hasta obtener una adecuada
alineación de dicha prótesis. En la realización ilustrada, el
marcador radioopaco 120 es un hilo de platino retorcido en torno a
un vértice de la prótesis en forma de "V". Para asegurar una
adecuada alineación, el stent debe ser girado hasta que sólo se ve
el perfil de la V, y que se muestra como una línea recta en vez de
una "V".
La envuelta exterior 101 es retirada aún más al
tiempo que se mantiene la parte proximal 102 del empujador fija,
hasta que la parte proximal 12 es desplegada totalmente desde el
extremo de la envuelta exterior 101, y la parte troncocónica 18 de
la prótesis salva justamente el extremo 117, como se muestra en la
fig. 14.
El balón 107 es desinflado luego, para permitir
que la sangre fluya a través de la parte proximal 12 y fuera de la
parte troncocónica 18 de dicha prótesis. El balón 107 es retirado
dentro de la prótesis, hasta que el extremo distal 118 del cono de
morro 106 está justamente encima del extremo proximal de dicha
prótesis. El balón 107 es inflado luego para asentar la prótesis,
que puede estar dotada de unas púas (no mostradas) en su extremo
proximal para fijarse contra la pared de la aorta, como se muestra
en la fig. 15.
La parte distal 103 del empujador es mantenida
luego en posición fija, mientras la envuelta exterior 101 es
retirada. Una vez que dicha envuelta exterior 101 ha sido retirada
hasta el punto en el que el extremo proximal 117 de dicha envuelta
exterior 101 está enrasado con el extremo proximal 115 de la parte
proximal 102 del empujador, tanto la envuelta exterior 101 como la
parte proximal 102 del empujador son retiradas, al tiempo que se
mantiene aún la parte distal 103 del empujador en posición fija. La
envuelta exterior 101 y la parte proximal 102 del empujador son
retiradas hasta que la parte distal 16 de la prótesis es desplegada
y libra el extremo proximal 116 de la parte distal 103 del
empujador, como se muestra en la fig. 16. El balón es desinflado
lentamente para permitir que el flujo de sangre sea establecido a
través de la parte proximal 12 de la prótesis y salga a través de la
parte troncocónica 18. El balón 107 puede ser utilizado para modelar
la parte distal 16 de la prótesis lo necesario, inflando dicho balón
107 lo que se precise para expandir la parte distal 16. El balón 107
es desinflado luego, y el introductor 100 es retirado de la
vasculatura, dejando el hilo de guía 170 en su sitio como se muestra
en la fig. 17.
La fig. 21A ilustra un segundo introductor 300
(no de acuerdo con la presente invención) utilizado para desplegar
una segunda parte distal 44. El segundo introductor 600 comprende
una envuelta exterior cilíndrica 301 y un conjunto de bloqueo Luer
310 hembra. El segundo introductor 300 tiene también una válvula
hemostática 361 contenida dentro de un cubo 362 de aquél. Un
cartucho 311 mostrado en la fig. 21B está destinado a ser unido al
segundo introductor 300. El cartucho 311 tiene un conjunto de
bloqueo Luer 312 macho roscado, dispuesto en su extremo proximal. El
cartucho 311 tiene un tubo exterior 313 que aloja el tubo interior
314.
Durante el uso, un tubo de pared delgada (no
mostrado) es insertado primero a través de la parte distal 44. Este
tubo sirve como guía para el hilo de guía, y permite a dicho hilo
ser insertado recto a través de la parte distal 44, como se expone
más adelante. La parte distal 44 que contiene el tubo de pared
delgada es enfriado luego, es comprimido radialmente, y es insertado
dentro del tubo interior 314 del cartucho 311, de manera similar a
la descrita para la inserción de la prótesis bifurcada dentro de la
parte proximal 102 del empujador y de la envuelta exterior 101.
Cuando la parte distal 44 ha sido cargada dentro del tubo interior
314 del cartucho 311, el tubo de pared delgada que sirve como guía
del hilo de guía, se extiende hacia fuera de ambos extremos del
cartucho 311. 311.
Un hilo de guía 171 es insertado luego dentro de
la vasculatura hasta el lugar de la bifurcación y a través de la
parte distal 12 del stent, como se muestra en la fig. 18. Un
dilatador 359 (fig. 21C) que tiene un diámetro exterior ligeramente
menor que el diámetro interior del segundo introductor 300 es
insertado luego dentro de dicho segundo introductor 300, de modo que
el extremo ahusado 360 se extienda fuera del extremo 320 del segundo
introductor 300. El extremo 360 del dilatador 359 tiene un orificio
en él que es justamente mayor que el hilo de guía 171, y está
ahusado gradualmente hacia fuera desde el orificio hasta el diámetro
de dicho dilatador 359.
El segundo introductor 300 es insertado entonces
dentro de la vasculatura, sobre el hilo de guía 171, mediante el
paso de dicho hilo de guía 171 dentro y a través de dicho dilatador
359. El dilatador 359 con el extremo ahusado 360 proporciona una
transición suave dentro del vaso sanguíneo desde el diámetro del
hilo de guía 171 al diámetro del segundo introductor 300. Dicho
segundo introductor 300 es maniobrado de modo que la envuelta
exterior 301 esté dentro de la parte troncocónica 18 de la parte
proximal 12, al menos 20 mm en esta realización, como se muestra en
la fig. 19. El dilatador 359 es retirado luego del segundo
introductor 300 y de la vasculatura, y es desechado.
El cartucho 311 es pasado entonces sobre el hilo
de guía 171 por paso de éste a través de la guía del hilo de guía de
pared estrecha, dentro de la parte distal 44 contenida en el
cartucho 311. La guía del hilo de guía es retirada entonces y es
desechada.
El cartucho 311 es acoplado de modo bloqueado al
introductor 300, haciendo casar el conjunto de bloqueo Luer macho
310 con el conjunto de bloqueo Luer hembra 312. Dicho acoplamiento
de bloqueo evita el movimiento relativo del cartucho 311 y el
introductor 300. Dicha supresión del movimiento relativo proporciona
estabilidad y fiabilidad al procedimiento de inserción, lo que hasta
ahora no se había conseguido.
Un empujador 315 es insertado entonces dentro del
tubo interior 314 del cartucho 311, de modo que el extremo proximal
317 de dicho empujador 315 haga contacto longitudinalmente con un
extremo distal de la parte distal 44 dentro del tubo interior 314.
El empujador 315 empuja la parte distal 44 a través del cartucho 311
y dentro de la envuelta exterior 301 del introductor 300. La parte
distal 44 es empujada a través de la envuelta exterior 301, que
permanece en posición fija, hasta que la parte distal 44 se halla en
el extremo proximal 320 de la envuelta exterior 301 (véase la fig.
19). De nuevo, unos marcadores radioopacos 120 pueden ser utilizados
para alinear la parte distal 44 debidamente con la parte proximal
12.
El empujador 302 es mantenido firmemente en su
sitio, y la envuelta exterior 301 es retirada aproximadamente 2 cm.
Con esto se despliega la parte troncocónica 42 de la parte distal 44
dentro de la parte troncocónica 18, como se muestra en la fig. 19.
La superficie exterior de dicha parte troncocónica 42 se acopla a la
superficie interior de la parte troncocónica 18, de modo que la
parte distal 44 es conectada a la parte proximal 12 para impedir la
separación longitudinal.
La envuelta exterior 301 puede ser retirada
entonces mientras el empujador 302 se mantiene en posición fija para
desplegar totalmente la parte distal 44, como se muestra en la fig.
20. Si es necesario, el catéter 104 del balón puede ser insertado a
través de la envuelta 301, con objeto de modelar la parte distal 44.
El introductor 301 y los hilos de guía 170, 171 son retirados luego
de la vasculatura, y los puntos de entrada son cerrados.
El aparato y método de entrega antes descritos
son particularmente útiles en el tratamiento de un aneurisma de
aorta abdominal, con una prótesis bifurcada. Seguidamente se
describirán otras dolencias.
La dolencia angiológica de oclusión es el bloqueo
de una arteria, que resulta de la acumulación o agrupación de
trombos blandos. Hay dos tipos de oclusión que pueden producirse en
la bifurcación de la aorta ilíaca. La primera es la oclusión
infrarrenal. En este caso, el bloqueo se extiende en la aorta desde
justamente debajo de las arterias renales al interior de la arterias
ilíacas. El segundo tipo es una oclusión que se limita al área
inmediata de la bifurcación.
Para tratar una oclusión infrarrenal, se forma
primero una canalización a través de los trombos por métodos
conocidos en la técnica. Luego es implantada una prótesis
endoluminal bifurcada en el lugar de la bifurcación, para
proporcionar un lumen sin obstruir extendido desde la aorta hasta el
interior de cada una de las arterias ilíacas. La sangre puede fluir
entonces libremente desde la aorta hacia las arterias ilíacas.
La prótesis endoluminal bifurcada que se utiliza
para tratar una oclusión debe estar cubierta con tela. Esto es
necesario para evitar la embolización de los trombos que permanecen
sobre la pared de la arteria recanalizada.
Una oclusión en la bifurcación es tratada por
recanalización de la arteria como antes se ha dicho. Una prótesis
endoluminal bifurcada puede ser implantada en la bifurcación. Sin
embargo, dado que la oclusión se limita al lado inmediato de la
bifurcación, la parte proximal de la prótesis debe ser más corta que
lo expuesto anteriormente.
Para implantar la prótesis endoluminal bifurcada
para tratamiento de ambos tipos de oclusión, es utilizado el sistema
de entrega que comprende un introductor 100 de acuerdo con la
invención, para la entrega de la prótesis endoluminal bifurcada para
tratamiento de un aneurisma de aorta abdominal. El mismo método de
entrega expuesto anteriormente para implantar la prótesis
endoluminal bifurcada para tratar aneurismas de aorta abdominal,
es utilizado para tratar la oclusión.
El uso del aparato de esta invención para tratar
la oclusión proporciona un lumen sin obstruir a través del cual
puede fluir la sangre desde la aorta hacia las arterias ilíacas.
La dolencia angiológica de estenosis es el
estrechamiento de una arteria causado por una acumulación de placa
calcificada dura. Esto es causado en general por acumulación de
colesterol. Para el tratamiento de dicha dolencia angiológica, se
efectúa una angioplastia sobre la placa de acuerdo con métodos bien
conocidos en la técnica. Un stent endoluminal bifurcado es
implantado luego en el lugar de la bifurcación. Este stent es el
mismo que el descrito anteriormente para el tratamiento del
aneurisma de aorta abdominal. Sin embargo, para tratar la estenosis
no es necesario cubrir el stent con una tela para crear así una
prótesis. Dado que la estenosis es rara en el lugar de la
bifurcación, no hay necesidad de aislar el flujo sanguíneo en el
lumen de las paredes de las arterias.
El sistema de entrega utilizado para implantar el
stent endoluminal bifurcado utilizado para tratar la estenosis es
igual al ilustrado en la fig. 8, excepto en que no se requiere el
balón 107. Dado que no hay tela en torno al stent que sea afectada
por el flujo sanguíneo en las arterias, y que cause migración del
stent bifurcado, no es necesario bloquear el flujo sanguíneo con el
balón. De otro modo, el sistema de entrega para implantar el stent
bifurcado, para tratar una estenosis, es igual que el empleado para
implantar la prótesis bifurcada para el tratamiento de un aneurisma
de aorta.
De igual modo, con la excepción de las
operaciones que se requieren para inflar el balón 107 para bloquear
el flujo de sangre, el método de entrega del stent endoluminal
bifurcado para tratamiento de la estenosis es igual al descrito
anteriormente para la entrega de la prótesis endoluminal bifurcada
para tratamiento de aneurisma de aorta abdominal.
