Abstract
A catheter has a hollow conduit through which working fluid from a heat exchange system flows. The conduit in turn is configured to extend along a longitudinal central axis in a continuously varying non-constant azimuthal orientation so that it defines a non-round enclosed passageway through which blood can flow to exchange heat through a wall of the conduit with the working fluid flowing within the conduit.
Description
- The present application relates generally to patient temperature control systems.
- It has been discovered that the medical outcome for a patient suffering from severe brain trauma or from ischemia caused by stroke or heart attack or cardiac arrest is improved if the patient is cooled below normal body temperature (37° C.). Furthermore, it is also accepted that for such patients, it is important to prevent hyperthermia (fever) even if it is decided not to induce hypothermia. Moreover, in certain applications such as post-CABG surgery, skin graft surgery, and the like, it might be desirable to rewarm a hypothermic patient.
- As recognized by the present application, the above-mentioned advantages in regulating temperature can be realized by cooling or heating the patient's entire body using a closed loop heat exchange catheter placed in the patient's venous system and circulating a working fluid such as saline through the catheter, heating or cooling the working fluid as appropriate in an external heat exchanger that is connected to the catheter. The following U.S. patents, all of which are incorporated herein by reference, disclose various intravascular catheters/systems/methods for such purposes: U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,881,551 and 6,585,692 (tri-lobe catheter), U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,551,349 and 6,554,797 (metal catheter with bellows), U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,749,625 and 6,796,995 (catheters with non-straight, non-helical heat exchange elements), U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,126,684, 6,299,599, 6,368,304, and 6,338,727 (catheters with multiple heat exchange balloons), U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,146,411, 6,019,783, 6,581,403, 7,287,398, and 5,837,003 (heat exchange systems for catheter), U.S. Pat. No. 7,857,781 (various heat exchange catheters).
- Accordingly, a catheter has a proximal segment configured to receive and return working fluid to a heat exchange system through supply and return lumens, respectively. The catheter also has a distal segment communicating with the proximal segment and configured to circulate working fluid therewith. The distal segment defines a supply conduit and a return conduit, with at least one of the conduits configured for conveying all fluid flowing therethrough along a non-round coiled path.
- If desired, the supply conduit may be configured for conveying all fluid flowing therethrough along a non-round coiled path. In addition or alternatively, the return conduit can be configured for conveying all fluid flowing therethrough along a non-round coiled path.
- In one example, the non-round path defines a rectangle when viewed in transverse. In another example, the non-round path defines a triangle when viewed in transverse. In either case, the non-round path can be established by intravascular balloon material or by flexible metal and can extend continuously along a longitudinal axis albeit with varying angles of extension.
- In another aspect, a catheter includes a hollow conduit through which working fluid from a heat exchange system can flow. The conduit is configured to extend along a longitudinal central axis in a continuously varying non-constant azimuthal orientation so that it defines a non-round enclosed passageway through which blood can flow to exchange heat through a wall of the conduit with the working fluid flowing within the conduit.
- In another aspect, a catheter includes a hollow heat exchange region through which working fluid can flow to exchange heat with blood flowing past the heat exchange region. The heat exchange region defines an elongated conduit extending along an axial axis of the catheter to define a central blood passageway bordered by the conduit, and blood can flow through the blood passageway when the catheter is positioned in a patient's blood vessel. Tangent lines at various points on the conduit do not establish a constant angle relative to a longitudinal axis defined by the conduit.
- The details of the present invention, both as to its structure and operation, can best be understood in reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts, and in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example catheter engaged with an example heat exchange system; -
FIG. 2 shows an example heat exchange region which when viewed transversely appears to be rectangular; -
FIG. 3 is a cross-section taken along the line 3-3 inFIG. 2 illustrating that the heat exchange region when viewed transversely appears to be rectangular, with only a portion of the region being cross-hatched since remaining portions extend proximally or distally away from the point of cross-section; -
FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of another example heat exchange region which when viewed transversely appears to be triangular; and -
FIG. 5 is a cross-section taken along the line 5-5 inFIG. 4 illustrating that the heat exchange region when viewed transversely appears to be triangular, with only a portion of the region being cross-hatched since remaining portions extend proximally or distally away from the point of cross-section. - Referring initially to
FIG. 1 , an intravasculartemperature management catheter 10 is in fluid communication with a cathetertemperature control system 12 that includes a processor executing logic that in some non-limiting examples is in accordance with disclosure in the above-referenced system patents to control the temperature of working fluid circulating through thecatheter 10 in accordance with a treatment paradigm responsive to patient core temperature feedback signals. In accordance with present principles, thecatheter 10 can be used to induce therapeutic hypothermia in apatient 14 using the catheter, in which coolant such as but not limited to saline circulates in a closed loop, such that no coolant enters the body. Such treatment may be indicated for stroke, cardiac arrest (post-resuscitation), acute myocardial infarction, spinal injury, and traumatic brain injury. Thecatheter 10 can also be used to warm a patient, e.g., after bypass surgery or burn treatment, and to combat hyperthermia in, e.g., patient suffering from sub-arachnoid hemorrhage or intracerebral hemorrhage. - As shown, working fluid such a refrigerant may be circulated between the
heat exchange system 12 andcatheter 10 through supply andreturn lines catheter 10 as shown. Note that as used herein, “proximal” and “distal” in reference to the catheter are relative to thesystem 12. A patient temperature signal from a catheter-borne temperature sensor may be provided to thesystem 12 through anelectrical line 20 or wirelessly if desired. Alternatively, a patient temperature signal may be provided to thesystem 12 from a separate esophageal probe or rectal probe or tympanic sensor or bladder probe or other temperature probe that measures the temperature of thepatient 14. - The
catheter 10, in addition to interior supply and return lumens through which the working fluid is circulated, may also have one or more infusion lumens connectable to an IVcomponent 22 such as a syringe or IV bag for infusing medicaments into the patient, or an instrument such as an oxygen or pressure monitor for monitoring patient parameters, etc. - The
catheter 10 can be positioned typically in the vasculature of thepatient 14 and more preferably in the venous system of thepatient 14 such as in the inferior vena cava through a groin insertion point or the superior vena cava through a neck (jugular or subclavian) insertion point. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , thepresent catheter 10 has aproximal segment 100 configured to receive working fluid from and return working fluid to theheat exchange system 12 through supply and return lumens, 102, 104, respectively. Connected in fluid communication with theproximal segment 100 is adistal segment 106 configured to circulate working fluid to and from the proximal segment (and, hence, the heat exchange system 12). As shown inFIG. 2 , thedistal segment 106 when inflated with working fluid defines asupply conduit 108 and areturn conduit 110, and in the example shown inFIG. 2 thesupply conduit 108 is configured for conveying all fluid flowing therethrough along a non-round coiled path, it being understood that the roles of the conduits may be reversed. The supply andreturn conduits distal junction 111. - In the example of
FIGS. 2 and 3 , the non-round path of thesupply conduit 108 defines a rectangle when viewed in transverse. In another example shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 , the non-round path defines a triangle when viewed in transverse. In either case, the non-round path can be established by intravascular balloon material and can extend continuously along a longitudinal axis albeit with varying angles of extension. - Note that the tangent lines at various points on the
conduit 108 do not establish a constant angle relative to the longitudinal axis defined by the conduit. In other words, the ratio of curvature of the conduit to torsion is not constant along the length of the conduit, but constantly varies along the length of the conduit. - Blood may flow through the
non-round passageway 112 as well as around the periphery of thesupply conduit 108 when thecatheter 10 is advanced into a patient and working fluid from theheat exchange system 12 is circulated through thecatheter 10. The blood exchanges heat through the wall of the catheter with the working fluid flowing in the non-round coiled patrh defined by thesupply conduit 108. - While the particular INTRAVASCULAR HEAT EXCHANGE CATHETER WITH NON-ROUND COILED COOLANT PATH is herein shown and described in detail, it is to be understood that the subject matter which is encompassed by the present invention is limited only by the claims.
