Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a one-branch stent-graft for use in bifurcated body lumens. More specifically, the present invention relates to a stent graft including two branches, wherein a closure prevents fluid from flowing to one of the branches.
  • a stent-graft (a stent with a graft layer lining or covering it) is typically used to provide a prosthetic intraluminal wall, e.g., in the case of a stenosis or aneurysm, to provide an unobstructed conduit for blood in the area of the stenosis or aneurysm.
  • a stent-graft may be endoluminally deployed in a body lumen, a blood vessel for example, at the site of a stenosis or aneurysm by so-called “minimally invasive techniques” in which the stent-graft is compressed radially inwards and is delivered by a catheter to the site where it is required, through the patient's skin, or by a “cut down” technique at a location where the blood vessel concerned is accessible.
  • minimally invasive techniques in which the stent-graft is compressed radially inwards and is delivered by a catheter to the site where it is required, through the patient's skin, or by a “cut down” technique at a location where the blood vessel concerned is accessible.
  • a one branch design stent-graft is typically utilized at a native vessel bifurcation to direct fluid into only one of the branches of the bifurcation.
  • an aorto-uni-iliac stent-graft provides an unobstructed conduit for blood to flow from the aorta through only one of the two iliacs.
  • blood flows through the single branch stent-graft to the bifurcated vessel branch of the native bifurcation that contains the stent-graft, while blood is prevented from flowing to the other bifurcated branch of the native bifurcation.
  • Typical single branch design stent-grafts have a tendency to work their way distally from the originally deployed position. It will be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that it is desirable to prevent stents from migrating out of position. In particular, where the site of desired application of the stent or prosthesis is a native vessel bifurcation, the distal migration associated with the use of the prior art prostheses constitutes a significant disadvantage.
  • a stent-graft of this invention includes a bifurcated stent, i.e., an unbifurcated portion in fluid communication with two branches.
  • the stent-graft further includes a graft that lines or covers at least part of the bifurcated stent.
  • the graft of this stent graft defines a fluid passageway from the unbifurcated portion into one of the bifurcated stent branches.
  • a closure which may be part of the graft, prevents fluid from flowing to the other of the branches.
  • the stent-graft is preferably adapted for placement of the stent bifurcation adjacent the native bifurcation of a body lumen to resist distal migration of the stent-graft.
  • One use of such stent-grafts is in bypassing abdominal aortic aneurysms where a femoral-femoral bypass is surgically installed to provide blood flow to the occluded iliac.
  • a stent-graft is provided that is adapted for placement at a native vessel bifurcation.
  • the stent-graft includes a bifurcated stent with a proximal portion adapted for placement in an unbifurcated region of the native bifurcation.
  • proximal means the unbifurcated end of the stent or stent-graft, i.e., nearest to the heart when the bifurcated lumen is the abdominal aorta
  • distal means the opposite, i.e., the bifurcated end of the stent or stent-graft.
  • the bifurcated stent further includes two distal portions.
  • the first distal portion is adapted to extend from the unbifurcated region of the native bifurcation into one of the bifurcated branches of the native bifurcation.
  • the second distal portion extends toward and into the other bifurcated branch of the native bifurcation.
  • a graft lining defines a fluid passage that extends from the proximal portion of the bifurcated stent to the first distal portion of the bifurcated stent.
  • the graft lining is closed to the other of the bifurcated branches.
  • a stent-graft adapted for placement at a native vessel bifurcation includes a bifurcated stent with a proximal portion adapted for placement in an unbifurcated region of the native bifurcation.
  • the bifurcated stent further includes two distal portions. The first distal portion is adapted to extend from the unbifurcated region of the native bifurcation into one of the bifurcated branches of the native bifurcation. The second distal portion extends toward and into the other bifurcated branch of the native bifurcation.
  • a graft lining or covering defines a fluid passage that extends from the proximal portion of the bifurcated stent to the distal portions of the bifurcated stent.
  • An occluder device is adapted for placement in the second distal portion. The occluder prevents fluid passage through the second distal portion of the bifurcated stent-graft and to the second branch of the bifurcated lumen.

  • blood flows through the stent-graft 10 to the bifurcated vessel branch of the native bifurcation that contains the first distal portion 16 , while blood is prevented from flowing through the stent-graft 10 to the other bifurcated branch of the native bifurcation that contains the second distal portion 18 .
  • the second distal portion 18 functions not as a fluid passageway, but as a structural member.
  • the relationship among the first distal portion 16 , the stent bifurcation 22 , and the second distal portion 18 allows the stent graft 10 to straddle or span the native vessel bifurcation when deployed, placing the stent bifurcation 22 adjacent the native vessel bifurcation tending to prevent distal migration. Actual contact between the stent bifurcation 22 and the native vessel bifurcation may prevent the stent-graft 10 from working its way down away from its originally deployed position.
