Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multilumen catheter and, in particular, to multilumen catheters designed to prevent ischemia in patients when the catheter is positioned within the body.
  • Some of the percutaneous procedures involve removing blood from the body and subsequently returning it to the body.
  • dialysis treatment involves first removing blood from the patient's circulatory system, treating the blood outside of the body, and then returning the blood to the patient's circulatory system to perfuse the various tissues and organs.
  • cannulae with large carrying capacity may be necessary.
  • By maximizing the cross-sectional area of the cannula the volume of blood that may be removed and/or returned to the patient's vascular system via the cannula is maximized.
  • One approach to maximize the cross-sectional area of the cannula involves using either two single lumen catheters or a multi-lumen catheter.
  • one lumen would function to withdraw blood and one would function to return blood to the patient.
  • One problem with using two single lumen catheters is that it subjects the patient to multiple percutaneous insertion procedures, which complicates the procedure and increases the potential for infection and other complications. Therefore, it would be desirable to have a catheter assembly which could be inserted into the patient through a single insertion site.
  • Multilumen catheters in various forms have been employed for this purpose.
  • multilumen catheters have been made with two, three or more lumens to serve various aspiration and infusion functions, including extracting and returning blood to vessels, taking blood samples for testing and providing medications to the patient's vascular system.
  • Simple multilumen catheters have been made by providing two round catheters of equal or nearly equal length joined by a web, or thin strip. This approach is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,776,111 to Tesio.
  • Other multilumen catheter designs have a unitary body with at least one septum dividing the lumens which extend from a proximal to a distal end.
  • multilumen catheters require only a single puncture of the epidermis, their performance is limited in at least two ways. For one, the outer perimeter of the multilumen catheter cannot exceed the inner diameter of the vessel into which it is inserted. Furthermore, the already limited cross-sectional area must be divided into at least two lumens, one for withdrawal and one for return. Thus the carrying capacity of each lumen is further reduced. To supply the same amount of blood, the velocity and pressure of the blood in the lumens must increase over what it would be in the vessel itself. This has the potential to cause damage to the vessel as blood comes jetting out of the return lumen. Also, it may put further stress upon blood cells, even causing hemolysis. Thus, multilumen catheters must be made as large as possible to carry enough blood at satisfactory conditions.
  • the present invention comprises a multilumen catheter for directing the flow of blood to and from a patient through a single cannulation site.
  • the catheter comprises a proximal end, a first distal end and a second distal end.
  • the first distal end extends farther from the proximal end than the second distal end.
  • a first lumen extends between the first distal end and the proximal end and a second lumen extends between the second distal end and the proximal end.
  • At least one aperture may be formed in one of the first or second lumens positioned near the proximal end so that the aperture permits active maintenance or enhancement of perfusion of blood to the patient's vasculature downstream of where the aperture resides in the vasculature when the catheter is inserted into the patient for treatment.
  • the multilumen catheter further comprises a third lumen with distal and proximal ends configured to be positioned entirely within the patient's vascular system.
  • This third lumen is configured to permit the passive flow of blood downstream of the catheter site to maintain or enhance perfusion.
  • the multilumen catheter also comprises means for redirecting at least a portion of the blood flow exiting a lumen of the catheter in a direction generally opposite of the direction of flow of blood in the catheter.
  • the redirecting means is a redirecting tip positioned at the distal end of one of the lumens.
  • the redirecting tip is configured to redirect at least a portion of the blood flow exiting the lumen in a direction generally opposite of the direction of flow.
  • a connector formed in the shape of a Y (“Y-connector”) is positioned at the proximal end of the multilumen catheter.
  • One leg of the Y-connector is in fluid communication with the first lumen and the other leg of the Y-connector is in fluid communication with the second lumen.
  • an outflow conduit of a pumping system is fluidly engaged to one lumen of the multilumen catheter and an inflow conduit of the same system is fluidly engaged to the other lumen.
  • the inflow and outflow conduits are fluidly coupled to a pump so that, when connected to the patient, the pump circulates blood from one distal end of the multilumen catheter to the other distal end, and also through at least one aperture in one of the first or second lumens positioned near the proximal end.
  • the multilumen catheter of the present invention is incorporated into an extracardiac pumping system for supplementing blood circulation in a patient without any component thereof being connected to the patient's heart. Such a system is described in U.S.
  • the system includes, in addition to the multilumen catheter, a pump configured to pump blood through the patient at subcardiac rates, an inflow conduit fluidly coupled to the pump to divert blood to the pump from a first blood vessel, and an outflow conduit fluidly coupled to the pump to direct blood from the pump to a second blood vessel.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is an extracardiac pumping system for supplementing blood circulation through a patient without any component thereof being connected to the patient's heart.
  • the extracardiac system comprises a multilumen catheter that has at least two lumens therethrough. Each lumen has a distal end configured for insertion into the patient's vasculature and a proximal end. At least two of the lumens are in fluid communication with each other at their proximal end.
  • the extracardiac pumping system also comprises a pump secured within one of the lumens and configured to pump blood through the patient at subcardiac volumetric rates.
  • the pump has an average flow rate that, during normal operation thereof, is substantially below that of the patient's heart when healthy.
  • the pump can be operated to pump blood from one location in the patient's vasculature to a different location in the vasculature while the proximal end of each lumen resides outside the patient's body.
  • the present invention also provides a method for treating a patient using one of the multilumen catheters of the present invention.
  • the method comprises the step of inserting the multilumen catheter described above into the patient at a single cannulation site of a first blood vessel, locating the catheter such that a first lumen may be in fluid communication with a second blood vessel and a second lumen may be in fluid communication with the first blood vessel, withdrawing blood from one of said blood vessels through one of the first or said second lumens, and delivering blood through the other of said first or second lumens so that blood is delivered upstream and downstream of the cannulation site.

  • one embodiment of the present invention comprises a multilumen catheter 10 designed to lessen ischemia that can occur when a large diameter catheter is inserted into a patient's blood vessel.
  • the multilumen catheter preferably is of unitary construction and requires only one entry point into the patient's body.
  • the multilumen catheter 10 comprises at least two lumens: a first lumen 12 and a second lumen 14 .
  • the first lumen 12 extends from a proximal end 16 of the multilumen catheter 10 to a first distal end 18 .
  • the second lumen 14 extends from the proximal end 16 of the multilumen catheter 10 to a second distal end 20 .
  • the lumens 12 , 14 of the multilumen catheter 10 may be arranged one of many different ways.
  • the two lumens may be joined in a side-by-side manner, forming a “figure-8” when viewed from the proximal end 16 .
  • a single cylindrical catheter housing may contain within it two or more side-by-side lumens.
  • a cylindrical catheter housing could be formed with a diametral septum, i.e. a wall, extending across the cylinder at a diameter.
  • a cylindrical housing with concentrically positioned lumens is also contemplated.
  • the first distal end 18 may be formed with one or more distal apertures 22 , although such apertures may also be located in the second distal end 20 .
  • the distal apertures 22 may be positioned close together or spaced circumferentially around the distal end.
  • the apertures 22 serve to decrease the pressure drop across the cannula tip, thereby minimizing damage to vessel walls from jetting effects. It may also be appropriate to practice methods for directing blood flow so as to minimize damage to vessel walls from jetting effects and from the recoil effect on the catheter of blood exiting a catheter.
  • the present invention may further comprise a tapered tip 24 at the first distal end 18 , which facilitates insertion and threading of the catheter into the patient.
