Abstract

本開示は、ペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性を低減するとともに、置換心臓弁を位置決めするための改良された手段を伴う心臓弁プロテーゼに関する。

Description

本開示は、ペースメーカー割合を低減させる心臓弁プロテーゼ、並びに、患者内の標的部位での医用デバイスの正確な埋め込みの視覚化のための手段及び方法に関する。
低侵襲な方法により患者内に送出され得る医用デバイスを使用する幾つかの用途が確立されてきた。そのような医用デバイスの例が心臓弁プロテーゼである。
大動脈心臓弁、僧帽心臓弁、及び、三尖心臓弁のための様々な置換心臓弁が現在利用できる。特に、大動脈心臓弁置換弁との関連において、副次的影響は、多くの埋め込み及びデバイスにおけるペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性である。ペースメーカーの要求は、最新技術のデバイス埋め込みでは、30%程度と高くなり得る。これは、患者にとってのマイナス結果を伴う他の外科手術及び医用デバイスの欠点を有するだけでなく、そのような心臓弁置換治療との関連でコストの増大も課す。したがって、そのような処置におけるペースメーカーの割合を回避するか又は少なくとも減少させる必要性がある。
プロテーゼの機能を十分に且つ確実に有するべく標的部位でプロテーゼの正確な埋め込み及び位置決めを達成しようとするときには、他の問題がしばしば起こる。
特定の例は、大動脈の機能不全を処置するのに知られる自己拡張型ステントと弁とからなる、カテーテルに基づく大動脈弁プロテーゼである。そのような心臓弁プロテーゼは、内因性大動脈弁に取って代わるために大動脈弁輪に配置される。目的は、大動脈弁輪及び内因性弁尖に関して心臓弁プロテーゼを正確に位置決めすることである。
国際公開第2004/019825号パンフレットは大動脈プロテーゼについて記載し、この場合、プロテーゼは、最初に展開されて大動脈弁尖内へ配置されるようになっているフィーラーを有する。フィーラーが弁尖内に配置された時点で、埋め込みを完了するためにステントが展開される。埋め込み処置全体はX線透視撮像によって案内される。ステント及びフィーラーはX線透視下で見ることができる。大動脈、大動脈弁、及び、左心室は、血管造影用カテーテルを通じて造影剤を左心室内及び上行大動脈内へ注入することによって間接的に視覚化される。弁配置中、血管造影用カテーテルは、ステントと当該血管造影用カテーテルとの間の干渉を避けるために引き込まれる。したがって、術者は、フィーラー配置のために触覚によるフィードバックに主に依存する。
経大腿動脈的弁置換の場合、触覚によるフィードバックは、アクセス血管のねじれと大動脈弓の曲率とに起因して一貫性がない。結果として、プロテーゼがその標的部位に十分正確に配置されない場合がある。フィーラー、弁尖ポジショナ、フック、リム、又は、同様の手段を使用して正確な位置決めをもたらす及び/又は内因性弁尖を標的にするプロテーゼが適用される場合には、これらの手段が正確に配置されない場合がある、及び/又は、それらの手段が弁尖の底部から離れて配置される又は弁尖を損傷させる場合がある。
したがって、弁プロテーゼの配置をより良く案内するとともに、内因性心臓組織の損傷、特に弁尖の損傷又は穿孔を回避する必要性が存在する。
他の問題は、置換心臓弁と例えば大動脈心臓弁の環状輪にある内因性組織との間での血液の漏れである。既知のプロテーゼは、環状輪に沿ってリング又はバンドを適用することによって液密性を改善するとともに、生体組織又は人工組織から形成される対称的なバンドによってプロテーゼを覆うことを試みる。幾つかの開示は、プロテーゼの外向きの力と環状輪に沿って位置合わせされる対称的なバンドとの組み合わせによって液密性を改善することを試みる。この手法は一般に使用され、また、対称的なシールリングが目的を果たす有用な手法であることが認識されるが、この手法が常に100%成功するとは限らない。
更なる他の問題は、心臓弁置換治療後のペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性である。現在利用できる治療及び心臓弁プロテーゼでは、かなりの数の患者が、心臓弁置換治療後にペースメーカー埋め込みを必要とする。現在、市場には、全てが低侵襲な手法による大動脈心臓弁置換のためのサピエンツ(Sapients) HVT、ロータス(Lotus)デバイス、コアバルブ(Corevalve)デバイス、又は、シメティス(Symetis)デバイスのような幾つかの置換心臓弁が存在する。ペースメーカー移植の要求のパーセンテージは、これらの製品間で異なる。ペースメーカー要求が望ましくなく、また、ペースメーカー要求がそのマイナスの結果の全てを含む更なる他の必要な外科手術を伴うことが認識される。
したがって、ペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性を減少させる方法及び置換心臓弁を提供する必要がある。
そのため、ペースメーカー割合を減少させる置換心臓弁治療を提供することが1つの目的である。
他の目的は、置換心臓弁を標的部位で個体の身体内へ安全に位置決めするための手段及び方法を提供することである。
更なる他の目的は、置換心臓弁の正確な位置決めを視覚的に制御できることである。
他の目的は、良好な又は更に有利な液密機能を伴う心臓弁プロテーゼを提供することである。
更なる他の目的は、従来技術の不都合を減少させるか又は実質的に回避するような態様で置換心臓弁が設計される置換心臓弁治療を提供すること、又は、安全に且つ正確に位置決めできるという利点と、同時にペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性の減少をもたらすという利点とを兼ね備える置換心臓弁を提供することである。
更なる他の目的は、改善された特性を有する、及び/又は、ペースメーカー必要性に関して有利な特徴、例えば既知のデバイスに対して減少されたペースメーカー必要性又は許容できるペースメーカー割合、容易な位置決め、及び/又は、良好な液密機能を有する置換心臓弁プロテーゼを提供することである。
1つの態様では、ペースメーカーの必要性が減少する置換心臓弁プロテーゼが開示される。幾つかの実施形態に係る置換心臓弁埋め込み後のペースメーカー適用の必要性の減少は、プロテーゼ形態の態様に関連付けられ得る。
他の態様では、経大腿動脈的態様又は経心尖的態様でのカテーテルデバイスの使用による前記置換心臓弁の低侵襲な適用のための方法が開示される。カテーテルは、個体の心臓内への容易で正確な埋め込みを可能にするためにプロテーゼに適合されてもよい。
他の態様では、個体の身体内の埋め込み部位での置換心臓弁の位置決めを視覚化するための手段が開示され、この場合、医用インプラントが変形可能なインジケータ手段を有する。
他の態様では、患者の身体内の埋め込み部位での変形可能な検出手段を有する医用インプラントの位置決めを視覚化するための方法が開示され、この方法では、i.標的埋め込み部位付近又は少なくともそれに比較的近い所までインプラントが適切な手段によって送出され、ii.インプラントがその最終的な標的部位に近づけられ、iii.インプラントの接近は、変形可能な検出手段が最終的な標的部位の組織との接触を示すときに停止される。
更なる他の態様では、個体内への置換心臓弁の低侵襲な埋め込みのための方法が開示される。
図面は、限定的であるとして理解されることなく様々な態様について描いている。また、当業者であれば分かるように、図に描かれる特徴のいずれか、又は、本明細書中で言及される例のいずれかは、その他の特徴、又は、明細書及び特許請求の範囲の全体にわたって記載される幾つかの特徴と組み合わされてもよい。
左側(図1a)には、ヒス束(1)、中隔(2)、僧帽弁(3)、右冠尖(4)と左冠尖(LC)と無冠尖(6)とを有する大動脈弁を伴う心臓の平面図が描かれる。中央(図1b)には、大動脈弁の環状輪(7)及び大動脈弓(8)が描かれる。右側(図1c)では、環状輪(7)における内因性大動脈心臓弁の部位にプロテーゼが配置される。 図2は、左から右へ向かう3つのセクション(16)、(17)、(18)と遠位プロテーゼ領域とを示すために展開された、本開示の一実施形態に係る大動脈置換弁(14)を描く。(9)、(10)、(11)は、右冠状動脈洞、無冠状動脈洞、及び、左冠状動脈洞をそれぞれ示す。左冠状動脈(12)及び右冠状動脈(13)が示され、この場合、プロテーゼは、冠状動脈(12)及び(13)を覆わないように形成される。この実施形態におけるプロテーゼ(14)は、より高い近位縁部を有する領域(19)をセクション(6)とセクション(18)との間に有する。 図3は本開示の他の例示的実施形態に係るプロテーゼの一部を示し、この場合、プロテーゼの一部を形成するステントの特定の態様が描かれる。他の部分は、必要に応じて、明示的に示されないが本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼの部分を形成してもよい本開示のプロテーゼの一部で形成してもよい。特に、ロケータ(20)及び近位ステントリング(21)が描かれる。ロケータ(20)の近位端は、本開示に係るプロテーゼ(14)の近位端に関して特定の寸法及び距離をもたらすように具体的にデザインされて設計される。この図では、それが6mmである。しかしながら、特定のニーズ及び要件に応じて例えば1〜10mmの範囲、例えば4mm、5mm、7mm、8mmなどに適合され得る他の寸法が有益となり得る。 図4は、ロケータ(20)が締結アーチ(23)に取り付けられた例示的実施形態に係るプロテーゼ(14)を示す。また、近位領域(21)及び遠位領域(22)もそれぞれ示される。ロケータ(22)は、締結アーチ(23)と接続されるように当該締結アーチ(23)に対して適合された形態及び位置決めを有してもよい。また、短縮化された距離(24)、及び、ロケータ(20)がその拡張状態で残りのプロテーゼの幾つかの領域上に少なくとも部分的に重なり合ってもよいという事実も示される。プロテーゼ(4)は3つのロケータ(20)を有してもよいが、それよりも多い又は少ないロケータ、例えば2つのロケータを使用することが実現可能な場合もある。また、ロケータ(20)は、同じ形態又は長さを有してもよく、或いは、異なる実施形態を表わしてもよく、例えば、異なるように設計されてもよい。 図5は図4のプロテーゼの変形例であり、この場合、ロケータ(20)が異なって設計され、また、図4に描かれるものの変形において短縮距離(24)が得られる。 図4及び図5は、ロケータ(20)と締結アーチ(23)との間の接続における変形例を示す。 図6は、フィーラー及びインジケータを有する本開示の他の例示的実施形態に係るプロテーゼ(14)を示し、この場合、本開示に係る医用インプラントの一連の位置決めが描かれる。 図6における左側の画像は、ステントと、交連に接続されて近位側に延在するアーチ形状のロケータ(20)と、交連に接続されるとともにロケータ(20)を越えて近位側に延在されるアーチ形状のインジケータ(25)とを備える大動脈弁プロテーゼを示す。インジケータは、例えば放射線不透過性の可撓性ワイヤから形成されてもよい。図6における中央の画像は、ロケータ(20)と、天然の弁尖よりも遠位側に配置される、対応するインジケータとを示す。インジケータ(25)はその歪みのない形態を成している。図6の左側の画像では、ロケータが天然の弁尖の基部まで押し進められる。インジケータは、最初に弁尖と接触し、ロケータ(20)及びステントを更に押し進めるために使用される力によって変形される。ロケータ(20)は、剛性が比較的高く、変形しない。ロケータ(20)が弁尖の基部に近づくときに、インジケータの最も近位側のセグメントとロケータ(20)の最も近位側のセグメントとが互いに近づいて互いに接触する。この形態は、ロケータが弁尖と完全に接触した状態にあることを示す。ロケータ及びインジケータは放射線不透過性であり、そこでは、互いに対する物理的な位置をX線透視によって視覚化できる。或いは、ロケータ(20)及び/又はインジケータが放射線透過性材料から形成されてもよい。X線透視を使用してロケータ及びインジケータのそれぞれの位置を視覚化するためにロケータ(20)及びインジケータの近位セグメント上に個々の放射線不透過性マーカーが配置されてもよい。 図7及び図8は、ロケータ(20)及び放射線不透過性インジケータ(25)の別の実施形態を示す。図7では、一連の「アンテナ」がフィーラーの近位セグメントから弁尖の方向に延在する。アンテナは、記憶合金などの可撓性材料から形成されてもよい。アンテナは、組織損傷を防止するためにガイドワイヤチップと同様の特性を有してもよい。アンテナのチップ又はアンテナ全体が放射線不透過性であってもよい。アンテナが弁尖(27)と接触すると、アンテナが歪められる。複数のアンテナが使用される場合には、アンテナチップの配列が弁尖(27)の形状の輪郭を描く。これは、弁尖(27)の中央を視覚化するのに役立つ場合がある。 図8は、ロケータ(20)及びインジケータ(25)の他の別の実施形態を示す。各ロケータは「M」形状を有し、この場合、Mの端部がステントに接続される。ロケータの中央の「Y」セグメントは、当該Yセグメントとステントとの間で当該弁尖を挟んで弁尖の内側に位置する。単一のインジケータ(25)がY形状のロケータ(20)セグメントの基部に接続される。インジケータは、図7におけるインジケータの形状及び構成と類似していてもよい。或いは、インジケータ(25)は、軟質な布地、織物、哺乳類の組織、又は、高分子から形成されてもよい。高分子は、シリコーン、ポリウレタン、及び、ePTFEを含んでもよいが、これらに限定されない。布地、織物、及び、哺乳類の組織は、縫合糸、クリップ、ステープル、又は、接着剤によってロケータ(20)に取り付けられてもよい。高分子は、接着剤、熱融合、又は、オーバーモールドによってロケータ(20)に取り付けられてもよい。インジケータ(25)の少なくとも近位端が放射線不透過性であってもよい。放射線不透過性マーカーが、布地に縫い付けられてもよく、或いは、高分子材料中に埋め込まれ又は成形されてもよい。弁尖(27)中への埋め込み方向が矢印(26)によって示される。 図9は、ロケータカバー(28)の形態を成すインジケータを示し、当該ロケータカバー(28)は、ロケータ(20)に取り付けられるとともに、外科手術中の視覚化のための、当業者により知られる方法及び手段を有する1つ以上の放射線不透過手段を備える。ロケータカバー(28)は、当該カバーをロケータ(20)に取り付けるのに適するような異なる形状及びサイズにカットされ得る。そのようなカバーは、プロテーゼの残りの構成要素と適合する材料から形成されてもよく、又は、生体適合性がある特性を有してもよい。カバー(28)は、その機能と個体中への長期埋め込みとにうまく適合してもよい。カバー、並びに同様に、ステント、生体材料、及び、非生体材料などのプロテーゼの他の構成要素は、埋め込み及び/又は心臓内の埋め込み部位の組織との生体適合性を促進させることができるコーティングで覆われ又は被覆され得る。図9a,9b,9cは、カバー(28)及び放射線不透過性マーカー(29)の配置における変形例を示す。 図10は、放射線不透過性マーカー(29)を含むロケータ(20)の変形例を示し、この場合、ロケータ(20)及びマーカー(29)は変形を伴って設計され、また、サイズ、寸法、及び、マーカー(29)位置における更なる変形も同様に本開示の範囲内である。 図11は、本開示の例示的実施形態に係るプロテーゼ(14)を描き、ロケータ(20)に取り付けられる放射線不透過性マーカー領域(29)を含むカバー(28)を例示するとともに、遠位領域(22)、近位領域(24)、固定アーチ(23)を示す。 図12は、大動脈環状輪に埋め込まれるプロテーゼ(14)、及び、ロケータ(20)とロケータカバー(28)の形態を成す放射線不透過性マーカー(29)が付けられたインジケータとによって良好な位置決めを容易にするための使用を示し、この場合、石灰化冠尖(31)、バルサルバ洞(30)、及び、その(32)が示される。 図13は、その標的部位に位置決めされて埋め込まれる、図12のようなプロテーゼ(14)を例示する他の方法である。
本開示の目的は、本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼ及び方法によって対処することができる。
以下では、本開示の幾つかの用語が規定され、また、別段に述べられないかぎり、これらの用語は、本明細書中に記載される主題の説明の目的のための意味を表わす。
本開示の意味における「心臓弁プロテーゼ」又は「プロテーゼ」又は「医用インプラント」又は「医用デバイス」は、低侵襲的処置によって、例えばカテーテル又は同様の送出デバイスの使用によって患者に埋め込むことができる、心臓弁のような任意の医用デバイスである。「プロテーゼ」は、大動脈心臓弁、僧帽弁心臓弁、三尖置換心臓弁に関連する。
用語「近位」とは、埋め込み中又は埋め込み時に心臓の頂部により近いプロテーゼの部分のことであり、また、用語「遠位」とは、埋め込み中又は埋め込み時に心臓の頂部から遠く離れているプロテーゼの部分のことである。用語「近位」は、ロケータ手段との関連で使用される場合もある。
近位端又は近位端の縁部に関連する用語「変化している」とは、開示される主題の特定の形態のことであり、この場合、プロテーゼの近位端の縁部は、均一となり得るとともに、同じ位置で終端するリングを表わすことができる。他方では、プロテーゼの異なるセクションは、近位端のそれらの縁部が異なる位置になるように、したがって、プロテーゼが3つのセクションから成る場合には、例えばロケータ手段までの距離が異なるように設計することができ、この場合、各セクションがロケータ手段を構成する。したがって、プロテーゼの近位端が起伏のある近位縁部を有してもよい。
「チューブ外周」とは、例えば、プロテーゼのステント構成要素を受けるためにレーザカットされるとともにチューブ全体が同じ内外寸法及び表面であるニチノールチューブのことである。したがって、幾つかの実施形態では、カットされたステントの一部が前記チューブの内方で又は外方で実質的に固着し得ない。
用語「短縮化」は、ステント構成要素が拡張されてロケータ手段の近位端がチューブ外周の外側へプロテーゼの近位端に向けて移動するときの当該ロケータ手段の近位端の位置の変化又は位置を表わす。したがって、ロケータ手段の近位端とステントの近位端との間の距離は、ロケータ手段の近位端の拡張されない位置と比べて「短縮されて」減少される場合がある。「短縮化」は、そのようなロケータ手段の形態と、ステントの他の部分との接続とに依存し得る。したがって、アーチなどのロケータ手段の形態が有利な場合があり、また、ロケータ手段の両側の端部でステントの締結アーチと接続するのが有利な場合がある。当業者であれば分かるように、このようにすると、「短縮化」を規定できるとともに、短縮化が1〜15mmの間で変化し得る。すなわち、1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14又は15mmの短縮化を達成できる。
「締結アーチ」は、例えば適切な手段及び方法によって弁構成要素が固定されるステントの部分である。
プロテーゼの「非拡張状態」及び「拡張状態」とは、低侵襲的な送出のためにプロテーゼをクリンプしてカテーテルに対して又はカテーテル内に配置できる形態のことである。プロテーゼは、バルーン拡張によって拡張されてもよく又は自己拡張できてもよく、また、プロテーゼは、その標的部位に配置されて位置決めされるときにその「拡張状態」を成してもよい。したがって、「非拡張状態」はプロテーゼの最小直径を表わし、また、「拡張状態」はプロテーゼの最大直径を表わす。当業者であれば分かるように、プロテーゼは、その標的部位に配置されるときに、例えば環状輪に抗する外向きの力を有してもよく、この環状輪は反対方向の力を有してもよく、したがって、プロテーゼは、この状態でその最大直径を有さなくてもよい。外向きの力は、プロテーゼの固定/位置決めに寄与し得る。
本開示の意味における「心臓ペースメーカー」又は「ペースメーカー」は、個体において適切な又は正常な心拍数を誘発させて制御するためのデバイスである。
「ペースメーカー割合」又は「ペースメーカーの必要性」又は「ペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性」は、プロテーゼの埋め込み後の心臓弁置換治療において多くの患者がペースメーカーを求めるという事実に関連する。したがって、そのような個体では、更なる外科手術が必要とされる。
この文脈における「ペースメーカー割合」とは、弁埋め込み後にペースメーカーを必要とする個体のパーセンテージのことである。現在利用できる置換心臓弁処置におけるペースメーカー割合は10%から30%の範囲内である。
本開示の意味における「インジケータ手段」又は「インジケータ」は、例えば患者内の医用デバイスの位置を制御できるようにする視覚化装置又はデバイスによって容易で正確な位置決めを可能にする又は円滑にする任意の構造的手段である。
本開示の意味における「ロケータ手段」又は「ロケータ」又は「フィーラー」は、例えば個体の身体又は組織部分と接触することによって或いは個体の身体内又は組織部分内で接触することによって埋め込み及び位置決めを可能にする又は容易にするとともに個体内に埋め込まれるべき医用デバイスの一部としての任意の構造的手段として理解されるべきである。ロケータは、以下で更に詳しく説明される状況下で適するように設計されてもよい。
「ロケータプローブ」は、ロケータ手段の一部を形成してもよく又はロケータ手段と共に使用されてもよく、また、ロケータプローブは、個体内の標的部位でのプロテーゼの正確な位置決めを容易にしてもよい。視覚化をより容易にするために、不透明なマーカーが使用されてもよい。
本開示の意味における「弁構成要素」は、ステント構成要素内に配置されるとともに内因性弁機能に取って代わってもよい生体弁又は人工弁である。弁構成要素は、同じ又は異なる生体材料及び/又は合成材料からなる内側及び/又は外側カバー及びシール手段を含むがこれらに限定されない、弁及びプロテーゼ機能全体を最適化するための付加的な構成要素を備えてもよい。
本開示の意味における「シール手段」は、ステント構成要素の外側に配置されてもよい合成材料及び/又は生体材料から形成される特定の組織、ライニング、被覆材、バンドであり、例えば、弁がその閉位置にあるときに血液の逆流を防止する目的を果たしてもよい。幾つかの実施形態において、シール手段は、ステント構成要素の周囲のバンドとして、例えば大動脈弁では、環状輪の場所にあってプロテーゼと内因性弁との間のシールをなす対称的なバンドとして形成される。開示されるプロテーゼの「シール手段」は、対称的及び/又は非対称的であってもよく、また、特にプロテーゼの外側で続いてもよく、被覆材に相当してもよい。開示されるようなプロテーゼの非対称的な形態において、「シール手段」は、NCSセクションではより遠位側であってもよく、他の2つのセクション(16)(18)では更に遠位側であってもよい。
本開示の意味における「標的部位」は、置換心臓弁によって置き換えられるべき内因性心臓弁である。特に、「標的部位」は、置換心臓弁が埋め込まれる位置である。
本開示の意味における「最短距離」とは、距離が同じ態様で測定される他の形態特徴の距離と比較され得る、ロケータ及び遠位端のようなプロテーゼの形態特徴に関連する2つのポイントのことである。本開示の意味における「不透明マーカー」は、外科手術中又はその後に個体の身体の外側のデバイスの位置を視覚化するための装置によって視覚化され得る任意の材料として理解されるべきである。
本開示の意味における「視覚化」又は「視覚化すること」は、不透明マーカー、したがって、個体の身体の外側のプロテーゼ位置を投影するための任意の方法を含む。
以下で使用されるその他の用語は、当該技術分野において通例適用される通常の意味及び態様で当業者によって理解される。
以下には様々な実施形態が記載され、この場合、熟練した読者は、本明細書中に記載される全ての特徴がプロテーゼの1つの単一の特徴及び/又はプロテーゼの全ての特徴を表わしてもよく、また、以下でそのように明示的に言及されない場合であっても、本明細書中に記載される任意の特徴が同様に任意の方法で組み合わされてもよいことを理解できる。
1つの態様において、本開示は、ペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性を減らすための大動脈心臓弁プロテーゼに関する。図1は、刺激伝導系のヒス束の解剖学的位置を示す。ヒス束は、大動脈弁輪及び無冠状動脈洞よりも約2mm〜10mm下方の中隔に位置する。大動脈弁置換のための多くの経カテーテルプロテーゼは、プロテーゼを大動脈弁輪内に固定するバルーン又は自己拡張型ステントスキャフォールドを含む。ステントスキャフォールドが心臓の刺激伝導系と干渉する証拠があり、このことがペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性をもたらす場合がある。左心室中へ延在する又は大動脈弁輪内の組織を過度に伸ばすステントスキャフォールドは、ヒス束を傷つけるか又は刺激する場合がある。
刺激伝導系を刺激するリスクを軽減するための1つの想定し得る方策は、ステントスキャフォールドの近位端を大動脈弁輪内に配置して、左心室内へのステントスキャフォールドの延在を回避することである。これは、弁輪の内側におけるステントスキャフォールドの正確な軸方向配置を必要とする場合がある。本開示の1つの態様において、弁プロテーゼのステントスキャフォールドは、軸方向に延在するロケータを含む。ロケータは、天然の大動脈弁の弁尖内に配置されてもよい。弁尖内のロケータの配置は、左心室内へのステントスキャフォールドの更なる近位側移動を防止し得る。ステントスキャフォールドの近位端に対するロケータの近位端の位置を調整することにより、大動脈弁輪内のステントスキャフォールドの弁輪下の配置を確保できる。ロケータの近位端からステントスキャフォールドの近位端までの距離は、10mm未満、例えば1mm〜5mmであってもよい。
近位側ステントスキャフォールドに対するロケータの近位端の位置は、ロケータがステントスキャフォールドの近位側ステントリングと重なり合うことを必要とする場合がある。例示的実施形態では、プロテーゼのロケータ及びステントスキャフォールドが同じ金属チューブからカットされる。これはプロテーゼのプロファイルを最小にし得る。図xxは、ロケータを有する一体品のステントスキャフォールドの実施形態を示す。ロケータは、対角支柱によってステントの中央セクションに接続されてもよい。ステントスキャフォールドのクリンプ形態から埋め込み形態への拡張は、対角支柱の短縮化と、ロケータの近位端の近位側移動とを引き起こし得る。クリンプ形態では、ロケータの近位端が最も近位側のステントスキャフォールドリングと重なり合わなくてもよい。この形態において、ステントスキャフォールドは、送出システム内への配置のために低いプロファイルを有してもよい。拡張形態では、ロケータの近位端が最も近位側のステントスキャフォールドリングと重なり合ってもよい。幾つかの実施形態では、ステントスキャフォールドが完全に拡張されると、ロケータの近位端は、ステントスキャフォールドの近位端から10mm未満、例えば1mm〜5mm離れて配置される。
本開示の他の態様において、ヒス束とのステントスキャフォールドの干渉は、非対称的なステントスキャフォールド形態によって軽減されてもよい。無冠状動脈洞に沿うステントスキャフォールドの最も近位側のセグメントは、左右冠状動脈洞に沿うステントスキャフォールドの最も近位側のセグメントに対して遠位側へ移動されてもよい。冠状動脈洞に沿うステントスキャフォールドの最も近位側のセグメントは、大動脈弁輪内又は大動脈弁輪よりも上にあってもよい。ステントスキャフォールドの無冠状動脈セグメントのより遠位側の配置と関連して、プロテーゼの無冠状動脈セグメントにおける弁傍シール域が無冠状動脈洞中へ延在してもよい。シール域の遠位側の延在は、無冠状動脈洞が心臓を灌流させるために開存的に保たれる必要がある冠状動脈の空洞であることから想定し得る。したがって、プロテーゼの非対称的形態は、弁輪及び無冠状動脈洞に対するヒス束の固有の解剖学的位置をうまく利用し得る。プロテーゼのシール要素は、左右冠状動脈洞では冠状動脈よりも近位側に配置されるとともに、無冠状動脈洞では冠状動脈よりも遠位側に配置されてもよい。
本開示の他の態様において、プロテーゼは、非対称的形態と、左右冠状動脈弁尖内の配置のための2つのロケータとを有してもよい。ステントスキャフォールドの無冠状動脈セグメントは、ロケータを有さなくてもよいが、無冠状動脈洞の壁と接触する弁輪上ステントセグメントを有してもよい。
1つの態様において、本開示は、標的部位での位置決め後のペースメーカーの必要性を減らすための心臓弁プロテーゼに関し、このプロテーゼは、ステント構成要素と、弁構成要素と、シール手段と、内因性心臓弁の標的部位でのプロテーゼの所定の位置決めのための少なくとも1つのロケータ手段とを備え、この場合、プロテーゼは、非拡張状態から拡張状態へ拡張できてもよく、また、拡張状態で、ロケータ手段の近位端とプロテーゼの近位端との間の最短距離は、15mm未満、例えば10mm、8mm、又は、5mm未満などであってもよい。
本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼは、少なくとも部分的にその工学技術に起因して、他のデバイスと比べて多くの利点を有し得る。例えば、1つの利点は、プロテーゼの形態が、任意のプロテーゼセクション又はプロテーゼ領域によって冠状動脈が実質的に覆われないか又は隠されないようにする、したがって、血液の循環が影響されないようにする、ということかもしれない。
開示されるプロテーゼの他の利点は、プロテーゼの埋め込みが心臓機能を実質的に妨げないということかもしれない。例えば、プロテーゼの埋め込みは、例えば必要とされるペースメーカーの割合が他のデバイスと比べて相対的に低くなり得るように、低い副次的効果をもたらし得る。
1つの実施形態では、開示される心臓弁プロテーゼがロケータ手段を備え、ロケータ手段は、当該ロケータ手段の視覚化のためのロケータプローブを備える。
プロテーゼは、対称的な端部を有するチューブ状及び/又はメッシュ状の形態であってもよい。プロテーゼは、蛇行状の構造と非対称な構造をチューブ内のその構造中に同様に有することもでき、また、プロテーゼは、本明細書中に記載される3つのセクションに言及する2つ又は3つのロケータ手段が存在する場合のロケータ手段の近位端とプロテーゼの近位端との間の距離が周方向で変化するように設計され得る。同じことが、プロテーゼの遠位端に関して想定し得る。そのような形態は、例えば、近位端及び/又は遠位端の端部寸法が変化している場合に適しているかもしれない。そのような形態は、心臓の重篤な領域及び/又は様々な他の領域をプロテーゼと接触しないように維持できる、又は、プロテーゼとの接触又は非接触を繰り返す場合でさえ心臓のそのような領域で接触を最小にできるという利点を与え得る。したがって、幾つかの実施形態において、本開示は、心臓のそれぞれの機能領域がその機能を支障なく発揮できるようにし得る。例として、冠状動脈及びヒス束をあげることができる。
本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼは、1つの態様において、非拡張状態でロケータ手段及びステント構成要素がチューブ外周に沿って延在するとともに、拡張状態でロケータ手段が少なくとも部分的に拡張されたチューブ外周の外側で延在するように設計されてもよい。
ロケータ手段を有する本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼは、1つの態様において、拡張状態でロケータ手段が少なくとも部分的に残りのステント部上方で近位方向に配置されること(例えば短縮化)を特徴とする。
短縮化は、−場合により、プロテーゼの1つ以上の他の寸法と組み合わせて−最終的に標的部位でのプロテーゼの精密で正確な位置決めを行なうことができるようにする形態を可能にし得るとともに、−場合により、本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼの1つ以上の他の特徴と共に−ペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性を減らすことができる。
例示的実施形態において、非拡張状態と比べた拡張状態におけるロケータ手段の短縮化は、1,2,3,4又は5mmである。短縮化は、他のプロテーゼの形態特徴並びにサイズ及び寸法に関連して有用となり得るように、特定のプロテーゼサイズ、例えば23,25又は27フレンチで適合され得る。そのような態様では、当業者が分かるように、ペースメーカーの必要性減少というプラス効果が最適化され得る。
ロケータ手段は、ロケータアーチとして形成されてもよく、また、ステント構成要素の一体部分に取り付けられ又は一体部分を形成してもよい。幾つかの実施形態では、プロテーゼが3つのロケータ手段を含んでもよく、各ロケータ手段はプロテーゼの1つのセクションに配置される。プロテーゼが更に他の幾何学的形状に形成されてもよい。
ロケータアーチは、その端部のそれぞれにより、プロテーゼの1つの締結アーチに取り付けられてもよく又はプロテーゼの1つの締結アーチと共に一体部分を形成してもよい。プロテーゼがその非拡張段階からその拡張段階へ拡張すると、少なくとも2つの締結アーチ、例えば6個の締結アーチ、すなわち、3つのプロテーゼセクション及び3つのロケータ手段のそれぞれにおいて2つずつの締結アーチが、互いに離間してもよく、また、ロケータアーチは、そのチップと共に、プロテーゼの近位端へ向かう方向に移動してもよい。この態様において、プロテーゼの位置決め、及び、1つ、2つ、又は、3つであってもよいロケータ手段の弁尖位置決め寸法、並びに、標的部位(すなわち、内因性心臓弁)内の近位端が、ロケータ手段端部及びプロテーゼの近位端間の距離と同様に規定されてもよい。
1つの実施形態において、締結アーチは、ステント構成要素上の弁構成要素を調整するのに役立ち得る締結手段を備える。生体材料又は合成材料から形成されるステント構成要素の内側及び/又は外側のカバーのような他の構成要素は、必要に応じてプロテーゼの一部を形成してもよい。そのようなカバーがシール手段としての機能を果たしてもよい。
1つの実施形態において、本明細書中に記載されるプロテーゼは、標的部位に配置されるときに拡張状態で冠状動脈を実質的に覆わないような態様で形成される。したがって、ステント及び被覆構成要素は、それぞれの部分が全く覆われず又は1つ以上の窪みを有することで個体の繰り返す心拍に合わせて接触しない又は殆ど接触しない又は繰り返し接触しないように形成されてもよい。そのような形態において、好適には、心臓のそれぞれの機能領域は、埋め込まれたプロテーゼが心臓機能を妨げることなく、それらの機能を果たすことができる。
1つの実施形態において、本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼは、3つのセクションを有している又は3つのセクションに構造化することができ、この場合、1つのセクションが右冠状動脈洞(RCS)に対応し、第2のセクションが左冠状動脈洞(LCS)に対応し、及び、第3のセクションが無冠状動脈洞(NCS)に対応する。本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼは、1つの実施形態では、セクションを更に有することができ、この場合、3つのセクションがそれぞれ遠位端及び近位端を備え、前記近位端は、セクションRCS,LCS,NCSが同じ位置で終端するように等しい長さで延在し、又は、RCSセクション及びLCSセクションに対応する近位端はNCSセクションよりも短い。
したがって、第1の先の代替案において、プロテーゼの端部は、ロケータ手段のために選択される寸法と組み合わせて、環状輪を10mm未満、例えば5mm未満越えて左心室に入るプロテーゼの近位端に至る。開示されるプロテーゼの形態は、心臓機能が妨げられないか又は最小限しか妨げられないことをもたらし得る。第2の先の代替案において、プロテーゼは、短縮されたNCSセクションを近位端に有してもよく、したがって、ヒス束との接触を回避できる。
第3の代替案において、本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼは、セクションRCS,LCS,NCSが左心室内の同じ位置で終端するように3つの近位側セクションが等しい長さで延在すると同時に、NCS近位側セクションが窪みを備えることを特徴としてもよい。窪みは、とりわけ調整された繰り返される心拍などの内因性心臓機能とプロテーゼとの干渉を回避する形態特徴を提供することができる。
本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼのこのような3つの全ての代替的形態は、埋め込まれるプロテーゼと内因性心臓機能との干渉を殆ど伴わない心臓弁置換治療をもたらすことができ、とりわけ、ペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性の減少をもたらすことができる。
本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼは、例えば特定の形態特徴に応じて、好ましい有利なペースメーカー割合を達成できる。したがって、本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼは、個体中への埋め込み後、好ましいペースメーカー割合を達成でき、15%未満、例えば10%未満など、例を挙げると8%未満のペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性をもたらし得る。
本開示は置換心臓弁プロテーゼ形態を含み、この場合、近位側の3つのセクションの近位端は、より短いセクションNCS(17)を有する(したがって、非対称な全体形態を有する)とともに、非対称なシール手段を有し、このシール手段は、良好な弁機能を果たすと同時に、十分に良好なシール機能を有し、また、ペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性の減少をもたらす。
そのような実施形態では、シール手段が波状又はU形状又は逆V形状を有してもよく、また、シール機能は、プロテーゼのより近位側の領域にあるセクション16,18及びプロテーゼのより遠位側の領域にあるセクション17において達成されてもよい。実際のセクション16,17,18間を接続する又はセクション16,17,18間に位置する領域は、十分かつ良好なシール機能をもたらすのに十分となり得る。
シール手段及びシール機能は、本明細書中に記載される窪み領域を伴う例示的実施形態において、前述したのと同様に設計されて達成されてもよい。
他の実施形態において、開示されるプロテーゼは、個体の標的部位でのプロテーゼの位置決めを視覚化するための手段を備えてもよく、この場合、当該手段は、変形可能なインジケータ手段からなるか又は当該インジケータ手段を備える。
インジケータ手段は、プロテーゼの他の構成要素に適合されてもよく、また、インジケータ手段がその機能を発揮することができるような任意の態様で適合されてもよい。一実施形態において、インジケータ手段は、1つ以上のワイヤ又はアンテナを備えてもよいし、又は1つ以上のワイヤ若しくはアンテナからなってもよい。視覚化のため、インジケータ手段が放射線不透過性材料からなっていてもよい。
別の実施形態において、本明細書中に記載されるプロテーゼは、互いに接触するのに適したインジケータ手段の相手側を備えていてもよい。この相手側は任意の適した態様で設計されてもよく、また、この相手側は、ロケータ手段、フィーラー、弁尖ポジショナ、フック及び/又はリムであってもよく、例えば、この場合、ロケータ手段、フィーラー、弁尖ポジショナ、フック及び/又はリムは、U、V、Y、M又はW形状を有する。
本明細書中に記載されるプロテーゼは、インジケータ手段及びロケータ手段、フィーラー、弁尖ポジショナ、フック及び/又はリムが同じ材料又は異なる材料からなることを特徴としてもよい。1つの実施形態では、相手側も放射線不透過性材料からなっていてもよい。
少なくとも1つの実施形態では、フィーラー手段等がプロテーゼの一部を形成してもよい。1つの実施形態において、視覚化手段のためのインジケータ手段及びフィーラー手段等はいずれも、目視可能な信号を生成してもよい。したがって、術者は、例えばプロテーゼが適切な位置に達していないときにインジケータ手段及びフィーラー手段によって生成される2つの信号を認識できる。フィーラー、例えば3つのフィーラーが弁尖内の正確な位置に達したときには、インジケータ手段と弁尖底との接触がインジケータ手段の幾何学的形態の変化をもたらすことができ、また、インジケータ手段及びフィーラーは、2つの視覚信号が一体化して少なくとも部分的にインジケータ手段及びフィーラー手段で1つの単一信号を生成できるように互いに近接し得る又は互いに接触し得る。したがって、プロテーゼが大動脈心臓弁置換処置との関連で正確な位置に達した場合、フィーラー、例えば3つのフィーラー、及び、インジケータ手段は、内因性弁尖の弁尖内に配置され得るとともに、適切な視覚化手段によって術者が容易に見える6つではなく3つの視覚信号を生成できる。したがって、プロテーゼを位置決めでき、また、その位置決めを容易に且つ効率的に制御できる。
記載されるプロテーゼは、心臓弁プロテーゼに適した様々な材料を備えるとともに様々な材料から形成されてもよく、これらの材料は、ニチノール、軟らかい布地、織物、哺乳類の組織、或いは、1つ以上の高分子、例えばシリコーン、ポリウレタン、又は、ePTFEからなってもよい又はこれらを備えてもよい。
本明細書中に記載されるプロテーゼは、任意の内因性心臓弁との置換ができてもよい。特に、このプロテーゼは、大動脈心臓弁又は僧帽心臓弁の置換治療に有用であってもよい。
他の態様において、本開示は、本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼの位置決めを視覚化するための方法に関連し、この場合、i.プロテーゼは、標的埋め込み部位付近又はそれに比較的近い所まで適切な手段により送出され、ii.プロテーゼは、その最終的な標的部位に近づけられ、iii.プロテーゼの移動は、変形可能なインジケータ手段が最終的な標的部位の組織との接触を示すときに停止され、プロテーゼは、その最終的な標的部位で完全に展開される。
更なる他の態様において、本開示は、適切なカテーテル手段と本明細書中に記載される心臓弁プロテーゼとを使用して個体の標的部位に心臓弁プロテーゼを埋め込むための方法に関する。
本明細書中に記載されるプロテーゼは、1つ又は幾つかの利点を有することができる。
既知のインプラントは、約15〜30%のペースメーカー必要性をもたらす。本開示の幾つかの実施形態において、プロテーゼは、ステントスキャフォールドからヒス束までの距離を増大させることによって大動脈心臓弁置換治療後のペースメーカー埋め込みの必要性を減少させるように設計される。ペースメーカー埋め込みの対応する必要性は、15%未満、例えば10%未満、又は、更には8%未満となり得る。
また、ステント及びシール材料に関して形態が非対称的な幾何学的形状を有し得る実施形態では、非対称形態においては予期し得ない場合がある漏れをプロテーゼが殆ど示さないか又は全く示さない。1つの有利な特徴は、NCの領域で、近位側セクションがRCセクション及びLCセクションに対して短くされ、又は、NCの近位側部分がプロテーゼの内側領域ヘ向かう方向の窪みによって特徴付けられ得るということであるかもしれない。
開示されるプロテーゼの様々な利点は、少なくとも部分的に、標的部位で安全な及び/又は正確な位置決めをもたらし得るロケータの形態、特徴、及び/又は、配置によって達成されてもよく、それにより、例えば、有利な態様において、ロケータは、冠状動脈機能、ヒス束機能、置換弁の機能性に関しては弁それ自体のような心臓の内因性機能を満足させ得るとともに、漏れの問題に対処する。
特に、例えば1つ、2つ、3つ、又は、それ以上のロケータであってもよいプロテーゼ内のロケータの形態及び機能性、及び、プロテーゼの3つのセクションの互いに対する短縮化及び設計された寸法、短縮化それ自体の寸法、及び、プロテーゼの近位側部分の寸法、並びに、対称性は、本明細書中に開示されるプロテーゼの様々な有利な機能特性に寄与し得る。
例示的実施形態におけるロケータの取り付け部又は形態は、ステント構成要素の中央領域にあるように選択されてもよい。加えて、例えばアーチのようなロケータの形態は、プロテーゼの正確で適切な位置決めに照らして有利となり得る短縮化をもたらすことができる。
インジケータ手段は、それが埋め込み処置中に適切な身体区画室又は身体部分と接触できるような態様で位置決めされ又は医用デバイスと接続されて、医用デバイスの正しい的確な位置決めを示してもよい。インジケータ手段は、1つ以上のワイヤ又はアンテナを備えてもいてもよく、或いは、1つ以上のワイヤ又はアンテナからなっていてもよい。
1つの実施形態において、本開示は、インジケータ手段及びいわゆる相手側手段を含み、この場合、これらの2つの部分は、互いに接触できるように設計される。
幾つかの実施形態において、本明細書中に記載されるプロテーゼは、とりわけ、有用となり得るとともに、標的部位でのプロテーゼの正確な位置決めを容易にでき、また、例えば触覚によるフィードバックのみに基づいて配置ミスを避けることができる。
1つの実施形態において、開示されるプロテーゼは、i.短くされた近位側セクション17を備え、又は、ii.プロテーゼは、セクション17の近位側領域で窪み又は開放領域を有し、iii.遠位側セクション16,18は、それらが冠状動脈と接触している領域で開放領域を有し、或いは、この領域内のステントが被覆材を含まず、或いは、遠位側セクションは、標的部位でのその最終的な位置決めにおいて、冠状動脈へ向けて延在しない長さをこれらのセクション内で有し、iv.プロテーゼは、形態バージョンi)において非対称なシール手段を備え、v.プロテーゼは、締結アーチと両端が接続されるアーチとして形成される3つのロケータ手段を備え、vi.プロテーゼが5mmの短縮化を備える。
そのような実施形態は、内因性心臓機能を殆ど妨げないという点から見て有利となり得るとともに、十分な及び/又は良好なシール機能を提供することができ、また、低侵襲なカテーテル送出によって正確に位置決めされ得る。
