Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to a duet stent deployment system that carries exactly two self expanding stents, and more particularly to a stent deployment system for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting procedures.
- Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting is an artificial channel within the liver that establishes communication between the portal vein and the hepatic vein.
- TIPS is sometimes used to treat portal hypertension that is often due to liver cirrhosis, which frequently leads to intestinal bleeding, esophageal bleeding and the build up of fluids within the abdomen.
- the TIPS procedure works by gaining access to the liver via the jugular vein, and then moving through the vena cava to the hepatic vein.
- a needle is then used to create a point of access (shunt) from the hepatic vein through the liver tissue into the portal vein.
- a guide wire is introduced to maintain access, and then a balloon catheter is placed over the wire and into the liver tissue.
- the balloon is inflated in the shunt to create a conduit that will accommodate the forthcoming stent.
- the balloon is deflated and removed.
- a stent introducer is then inserted and the portal end of the stent is deployed.
- the rest of the stent is then released and the balloon is reinserted and reinflated to assure that the stent is fully patent.
- the stented shunt allows for pressure relief in the portal vein, and blood can return to mostly a normal path through the liver, and therefore reduce some of the symptoms described above.
- stent length and sometimes diameter needed for a patient is uncertain, even with careful measuring and estimation. Physicians would like to control the length and diameter of the stent during and post-procedure. For instance, due to substantial variations among patients' internal anatomy geometry, stent sizing can require that a hospital maintain a wide variety of stent introducers with stents of varying lengths to accommodate all potential patients. In addition, when it is necessary for the physician to complete the procedure with the implantation of two stents, the first stent introducer must be withdrawn and a second stent introducer must be brought into the patient, increasing costs, procedure times and complication risks to the patient.
- a duet stent deployment system includes exactly two stents mounted on a distal segment of an inner catheter.
- the two stents include a primary stent and a secondary stent.
- An outer sheath is slidably mounted on the inner catheter, and movable along an axis of the inner catheter from a pre-deployment configuration to a first deployment configuration, and then from the first deployment configuration to a second deployment configuration.
- the primary and secondary stents are covered by the outer sheath in the pre-deployment configuration.
- the primary stent is uncovered but the second stent remains covered by the outer sheath in the first deployment configuration.
- the primary and secondary stents are uncovered by the outer sheath at the second deployment configuration.
- the primary stent includes a sleeve covering, and the secondary stent is longer than primary stent, and both the primary stent and the secondary stent are self expanding stents.
- a method of performing a TIPS procedure includes maneuvering the duet stent deployment system in the pre-deployment configuration to a position at which the primary stent is positioned within a shunt extending between a hepatic vein and a portal vein.
- the duet stent deployment system is re-configured from the pre-deployment configuration to the first deployment configuration to release the primary stent in the shunt.
- the duet stent deployment system is then re-positioned to a position at which the distal end of the secondary stent is positioned inside the primary stent, and a proximal end of the secondary stent is positioned at a junction at the hepatic vein to the vena cava.
- the duet stent deployment system is then reconfigured from the first deployment configuration to the second deployment configuration to release the secondary stent to extend from the junction to the position inside the primary stent.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a duet stent deployment system in a pre-deployment configuration
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged partially sectioned view of the distal segment of the duet stent deployment system of FIG. 1 ;
- FIG. 3 is a side view of the duet stent deployment system in the first deployment configuration
- FIG. 4 is a side view of the duet stent deployment system in the second deployment configuration
- FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a patient's vascular system in the area where a TIPS procedure according to the present disclosure is being performed;
- FIG. 6 is a schematic view similar to FIG. 5 after deployment of the primary stent has been initiated;
- FIG. 7 is a view similar to view FIGS. 5 and 6 after the primary stent has been deployed but before deployment of the secondary stent;
- FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIGS. 5-7 except showing the procedure after deployment of the secondary stent with the deployment system being withdrawn upward through the patient's vena cava.
- the physician will implant a first sleeve covered stent in the newly made shunt with a first stent deployment device and then reenter with a second stent deployment device to place a second stent to extend from the shunt through the hepatic vein to the junction with the vena cava.
- first stent length is somewhat typical among patients, and being on the order of about four centimeters in length
- length of a second stent, if any is used can vary substantially among different patients.
- the second stent being maybe on the order of 5-8 centimeters in length in order to accommodate most patients.
- the duet stent deployment system of the present disclosure allows for inventorying only a single device that inherently has the flexibility to accommodate the different stenting needs of particular patients, as well as provide the physician with the option of implanting a second stent in an overlapped configuration with the first stent to provide an overall stented length capability for virtually any patient anatomy. Furthermore, the duet stent deployment system can reduce procedure time over prior art TIPS procedures that require entering the patient multiple times with more than one stent deployment system. The duet stent deployment system of this disclosure can also help in reducing guess work in determining an appropriate length for a second implanted stent, if any.
- a duet stent deployment system 30 includes exactly two stents 60 mounted on a distal segment 35 of an inner catheter 31 .
- the two stents 60 include a primary stent 61 and a secondary stent 62 .
- the primary stent 61 includes a sleeve covering 64 , which prevents fluid communication between the lumen defined by primary stent 61 and the surrounding tissue.
- the sleeve covering 64 may be made from PTFE, poly(ether)urethaneurea or an other biocompatible material.
- the secondary stent may include a sleeve covering that is identical to that of the primary stent, or may have a different sleeve covering, or no sleeve covering at all.
- the sleeve covering the primary stent may be non-porous to prevent bile from leaking into the stent and therefore into the blood stream.
- An inner layer of the sleeve covering may be porous to allow platelets to attach.
- the secondary stent 62 will always be longer than the primary stent 61 , and both the primary stent 61 and the secondary stent 62 are self expanding stents of a type well known in the art.
- both primary stent 61 and secondary stent 62 as well as duet stent deployment system 30 may have features similar to currently available ZILVER® available from Cook Incorporated of Bloomington Ind.
- the length of the primary stent according to this disclosure excludes the length of any anchoring mechanism 63 , if any, of the first stent. While primary stent 61 may include an anchoring mechanism 63 , secondary stent 62 will not.
- the length of the first stent may be determined according to this disclosure by measuring a length of its sleeve.
- An outer sheath 40 is slidably mounted on the inner catheter 31 , and is movable along an axis 41 of the inner catheter 31 from a pre-deployment configuration 42 to a first deployment configuration 43 , and then from the first deployment configuration 43 to a second deployment configuration 44 .
- the primary and secondary stents 61 , 62 are both covered by the outer sheath 40 in the pre-deployment configuration 42 .
- the primary stent 61 is uncovered but the secondary stent 62 remains covered by the outer sheath 40 in the first deployment configuration 43 .
- Outer sheath 40 may be on the order of 80-125 centimeters in length, and may have an outer diameter on the order of 10 French, but other sizing would also fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
- the primary stent 61 may be about four centimeters long, and the secondary stent is less than eight centimeters long, but still longer than the primary stent 61 .
- the term “about” means that the number is rounded to a single significant digit. Thus, both 3.5 centimeters and 4.4 centimeters are about four centimeters according to the present disclosure.
- the duet stent deployment system 30 of the present disclosure may include a radiopaque marker 51 on the distal end of outer sheath 40 .
- inner catheter 31 may include a lumen sized to receive a wire guide that is used to gain access to the stenting location in a manner well known in the art.
- Duet stent deployment system 30 may also be similar to typical stent deployment systems by the inclusion of a port 38 , which is shown capped, to allow fluids to be injected through the space between the inner catheter 31 and outer sheath 40 in a known manner.
- Primary stent 61 and secondary stent 62 may have identical expanded outside diameters which are typical for TIPS procedures. For instance, the expanded outside diameters may be 8 or 10 millimeters, but other diameters could be utilized without departing from the intended scope of the present disclosure.
- a hub 32 is attached to a proximal end 33 of the inner catheter.
- Outer sheath 40 is connected to a handle 46 that is slidably mounted on the inner catheter 31 . While this type of pin and pull actuation may be typical and well known in the art, other actuation structures that allow movement of outer sheath 40 with regard to inner catheter 31 would also fall within the inner intended scope of the present disclosure. For example, one handed devices that utilize a pull connected to the outer sheath that moves responsive to a thumbwheel would also fall within the intended scope of the present disclosure.
- Duet stent deployment system 30 may include a first lock 47 that is movable between a locked position in contact with handle 46 as shown in FIG. 1 and an unlocked position detached from handle 46 . Duet stent deployment 30 may also include a second lock 48 that is likewise movable between a locked position in contact with handle 46 as shown in FIG. 1 and an unlocked position detached from handle 46 . First lock 47 and the second lock 48 may interact with a stop 34 (hidden from view), which may take the form of an enlarged diameter piece attached to inner catheter 31 . Lock 47 may inhibit movement of outer sheath 40 with regard to inner catheter 31 such as when duet deployment system 30 is in its pre-deployment configuration 42 .
- duet stent deployment system 30 will likely be in its pre-deployment configuration 42 during shipping, storage and while being maneuvered to a treatment site within a patient.
- the duet deployment system 30 is locked against movement from the pre-deployment configuration 42 to the first deployment configuration 43 when the first lock 47 is in the locked position as shown in FIG. 1 .
- the duet stent deployment system 30 is locked against movement from the first deployment configuration 43 to the second deployment configuration 44 when the second lock 48 is in the locked position as shown in FIG. 3 . While locks 47 and 48 may be preferred, they are by no means necessary to the duet deployment system 30 .
- both first lock 47 and the second lock 48 are in contact with handle 46 when in their respective locked positions.
- duet stent deployment system 30 may also differ from stent deployment systems of the prior art by the inclusion of a ruler measurement segment 49 on one of the outer sheath 40 and inner catheter 41 .
- a ruler measurement segment 49 is defined by radiopaque markers 50 that are equally spaced along axis 41 .
- Ruler measurement segment 49 and radiopaque markers 50 may appear similar to features associated with AUROUS® centimeter sizing catheters with a BEACON® tip currently available from Cook Incorporated of Bloomington Indiana. For instance, gold bands spaced one centimeter apart along the ruler segment 49 on the outer surface of outer sheath 40 may be utilized to assist a physician in measuring various key distances within the patient's anatomy.
- these key distances include distances between different landmarks within the patient. These landmarks include the location where the shunt opens to the portal vein, the junction of the shunt with the hepatic vein, and the distance from that junction to the vena cava. Although longer lengths would still fall within the scope of the present disclosure, the ruler measurement segment 49 may be less than twelve centimeters in length, since the combined length of a primary and secondary stent in even an extremely long deployment applications will still likely be less than ten centimeters.
- the ruler measurement segment 49 may be especially useful in measuring a distance from the patient's vena cava to a location inside the already deployed primary stent 61 in order to provide at least one centimeter overlap between the two stents 61 , 62 , while ensuring that the other end of the secondary stent 62 extends all the way to the vena cava in a three dimensional passage that may otherwise be difficult to measure with two dimensional imaging.
- the distal end portion of primary stent 62 may include an anchoring mechanism 63 that is outside of sleeve covering 64 and assumes a flared shape when outer sheath 40 is withdrawn sufficiently to reveal anchoring mechanism 63 . Nevertheless, primary stent 61 need not necessarily include the optional anchoring mechanism 63 .
- the present disclosure is generally applicable to any surgical procedure where at least one but no more than two self expanding stents are needed to perform a particular procedure.
- the disclosure is specifically applicable to procedures in which two stents need to overlap and have a combined length that is constrained by possible uncertain patient anatomy.
- the present disclosure finds specific applicability to transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting procedures.
- FIGS. 5-8 a portion of a TIPS procedure that utilizes the duet stent deployment system 30 of the present disclosure is illustrated.
- the TIPS procedure is typical with the creation of the shunt 14 through liver tissue 10 with an appropriate needle device (not shown).
- a wire guide 22 extends down through the patients vena cava 13 through a segment of hepatic vein 12 , through shunt 14 and into portal vein 11 .
- the duet stent deployment system 30 is advanced over the wire guide 22 into the portal vein 11 .
- the duet stent deployment system 30 is maneuvered in its pre-deployment configuration 42 to a position at which the primary stent 61 is positioned within shunt 14 .
- the physician can confirm using radial opaque marker 51 , for instance, that the distal end of the duet stent deployment system 30 is properly positioned in the portal vein.
- This initial maneuvering of duet stent deployment system 30 may be performed with the device 30 in the pre-deployment configuration 42 as shown in FIG. 1 .
- the physician may utilize the radiopaque markers 50 to size the length 17 of shunt 14 , which extends from the entrance to shunt 16 at portal vein 11 , to the junction 18 where the shunt 14 connects to hepatic vein 12 .
- This information can be useful in confirming that the primary stent 61 is at least as long as the length 17 of shunt 14 .
- the outer sheath 40 may be pulled back a slight distance so that anchoring mechanism 63 is released.
- first lock 47 may or may not require movement of first lock 47 from its locked position to its unlocked position. However, if first lock 47 has not yet been moved to an unlocked position, after anchoring mechanism 63 is positioned to bear against the wall portal vein 11 , the first lock 47 may now be moved from its locked position to its unlocked position.
- the physician may need to know precisely where the distal end of the primary stent 61 is when concealed by outer sheath 40 in the pre-deployment configuration 42 in order to ensure proper positioning of primary stent 61 when deployed.
- the duet stent deployment system 30 is then reconfigured from the pre-deployment configuration 42 as shown in FIG. 1 to the first deployment configuration of 43 as shown in FIG. 3 to release the primary stent 61 in shunt 14 .
- the outer sheath 40 is slid with respect to inner catheter 31 to the first deployment configuration 43 to release primary stent 61 to occupy shunt 14 .
- its positioning may be confirmed through appropriate imaging.
- the duet stent deployment system 30 is repositioned to prepare for deployment of the secondary stent 62 .
- the physician may use the ruler measurement segment 49 on outer sheath 40 to take a second measurement in order to assess where to place the secondary stent 62 .
- the physician may desire one end of secondary stent 61 to the to be located at the junction 15 of hepatic vein 12 to vena cava 13 , and the opposite end of the secondary stent 61 to be positioned inside, in an overlapping relationship with primary stent 61 .
- Uncertainty arises in accurately determining the distance 19 from the patient's vena cava to the junction of shunt 14 with the hepatic vein 12 .
- the secondary stent should be long enough to accommodate measurement distance 19 plus an overlap distance 20 .
- the primary stent 61 overlaps secondary stent 62 .
- This overlap may occupy this distance as shown as measurement 20 in FIG. 8 . It may be desirable that a minimum overlap of one centimeter be achieved. However, a greater overlap, a lesser overlap or no overlap at all would also fall within the intended scope of the present disclosure. In order to inhibit bile from entering the bloodstream, no portion of the tissue wall that defines shunt 14 should be left uncovered.
- the duet stent deployment system 30 can be properly positioned with the help of radiopaque marker 51 , and knowing where secondary stent 62 is positioned on inner catheter 31 with respect to radiopaque marker 51 .
- the duet stent deployment system 30 may be repositioned to a position at which the distal end of the secondary stent 62 is positioned inside the primary stent 61 , and a proximal end of this secondary stent 62 is positioned at junction 15 of the hepatic vein to the vena cava 13 .
- the secondary stent 62 can now be readied for release.
- the second lock 48 can be moved from its locked position to its unlocked position, by removing the pin from the system 30 , and the outer sheath 40 slid with respect to inner catheter 31 to release and implant the secondary stent 62 .
- the duet stent deployment system 30 is reconfigured from the first deployment configuration 43 as shown in FIG. 3 to the second deployment configuration 44 as shown in FIG. 4 to release the secondary stent 62 to extend from the junction to the vena cava to a position inside primary stent 61 . Thereafter, the duet stent deployment system 30 can be withdrawn from the patient leaving wire guide 22 in place.
- a balloon catheter (not shown) can be maneuvered along wire guide 22 and inflated within both the primary stent 61 and the secondary stent 62 , especially at the main junctions 16 , 18 and 15 to ensure patency of the stents.
- the combined primary stent and secondary stent 70 may have an overlapping configuration and extend from the entrance 16 to shunt 14 all the way to junction 15 where hepatic vein 12 connects to vena cava 13 .
- first and second locks 47 and 48 are included, the first lock is maintained in its locked position and the second lock 48 is maintained in its locked position while the duet stent deployment system 30 is being maneuvered in the predeployment configuration 42 .
- the second lock 48 may be maintained in its locked position during the step of reconfiguring the duet stent deployment system 30 from the predeployment configuration 42 to the first deployment configuration 43 .
- the second lock 48 may be maintained in its locked position while the duet stent deployment system 30 is being repositioned prior to deployment of the secondary stent 62 .
- the second lock 48 may be moved to its unlocked position to enable movement of the duet stent deployment system 30 from the first deployment configuration 43 to the second deployment configuration 44 .
- both the primary stent 61 and the secondary stent 62 are both deployed prior to withdrawal of the inner catheter 31 from the patient.
- the physician is allowed great flexibility on the fly during the TIPS procedure.
- loading of the two stents 60 on the single introducer 30 allows for fewer interventions and a single access into the patient, thus saving time and reducing patient risks during the TIPS procedure.
- the dual safety lock strategy (first and second locks 47 and 48 ) may be provided in order to prevent accidental deployment of the secondary stent 62 before adjustment has been made after the primary stent 61 has been deployed.
- This single access technique may reduce costs verses delivering two separate stents with two separate delivery catheters.
- the TIPS procedure time is also reduced with requirement of only a single access.
- duet stent deployment system 30 may include exactly one stent with an anchoring mechanism 63 . If included, the anchoring mechanism 63 may have a structure similar to the anchor feature appearing in stents available from Cook Incorporated of Bloomington Indiana.
