Definitions
- HD hemodialysis
- vascular access for chemotherapy and plasmapheresis
- Applicant's invention involves a new method and instrumentation for HD and vascular access designed to eliminate the problems of the prior methods and create a new, more durable, easier to use, vascular access system.
- One prior art method involves a primary arteriovenous fistula.
- a native artery is sewn to a native vein creating a high flow system of blood in a vein which over time can be accessed with two hemodialysis needles attached to a dialysis machine.
- the problem with this method is that few patients are candidates secondary to anatomy and in others the veins or shunt fail to enlarge and mature properly even if the primary fistula remains patent.
- These arteriovenous fistulas also become aneursymol over time requiring revision.
- Another method involves a subcutaneous prosthetic conduit (PTFE) in the shape of a tube which is sewn at either end to openings made in an artery and vein.
- PTFE subcutaneous prosthetic conduit
- This method causes recurrent stenosis at the venous outflow leading to thrombosis (i.e., graft closure) secondary to intimal hyperplasia at venous anastomosis.
- thrombosis also occurs at needle puncture sites along the PTFE.
- Another method involves a “tunneled” percutaneous dual lumen catheter which is inserted into a central vein. This causes recurrent thrombosis secondary to stasis of blood in the lumen (i.e., not a continuous flow system like an A-V fistula) and build up of fibrinous debris at the venous end. Further, the access end of the catheter protrudes through the skin making it cosmetically unappealing, cumbersome to live with, as well as more likely to become infected.
- a further method involves the use of the Sorenson Catheter.
- This is a percutaneous (not tunneled) dual lumen catheter, placed into the central venous system, which is used to provide temporary access for the purposes of hemodialysis. These catheters are prone to kinking, clotting, infection, and poor flow rates.
- a still further method of vascular access involves the “Porta-a-cath”.
- This system of venous access which utilizes a subcutaneous reservoir attached to a central venous catheter, is used for long term intervenous access for chemotherapy etc. (It is not intended for HD.)
- the ports are prone to clotting and must be continually flushed since they are a stagnant system.
- Applicant's invention involves a vascular access system, known as the Squitieri Hemodialysis and Vascular Access System, which creates a continuous blood flow and which is easily accessed and resistant to clotting.
- vascular access system known as the Squitieri Hemodialysis and Vascular Access System
- Squitieri Hemodialysis and Vascular Access System which creates a continuous blood flow and which is easily accessed and resistant to clotting.
- a hemodialysis and vascular access system comprises a PTFE end which is sutured to an opening in an artery at one end and the other end is placed into a vein using any technique which avoids the need for an anastomosis between the silicone “venous” end of the catheter and the vein wall.
- the system comprises any material, synthetic or natural (i.e. vein) which can be sutured to the artery (i.e. preferably PTFE) at one end while the other end is composed of a material which is suitable for placement into a vein in such a way that the openings in the “venous” end of the system are away from the site where the graft enters the vein.
- the system may also be constructed of multiple layers of materials i.e. PTFE on the inside with silastic on the outside.
- the “Needle Receiving Site” may also be covered with PTFE to encourage self sealing and tissue ingrowth.
- a preferred embodiment comprises a combination of PTFE conduit sewn to an artery on one end of the system with the other end connected to a silastic-plastic catheter which can be percutaneously inserted into a vein via an introducer.
- the venous end may also be placed via open cut down.
- the seal around the system where it enters the vein may be “self sealing” when placed in percutaneous technique; it may be achieved with a purse string when done by open technique “cut down”; or, it may be sewn to the vein to create a seal with a “cuff” while the system continues downstream within the venous system to return the arterial blood away from the site of entry into the vein.
- the entire system can be positioned subcutaneously at the completion of insertion.
- This design is a significant improvement over existing methods because it avoids the most frequent complication of current HD access methods.
- By utilizing an indwelling venous end one avoids creating a sewn anastomosis on a vein which is prone to stenosis secondary to neointimal hyperplasia.
- By having continuous flow through the silastic end of the catheter thrombosis of these catheters can be avoided.
- Dialysis is made more efficient by decreasing recirculation of blood which accompanies the use of side by side dual lumen catheters inserted into a central vein. This invention not only benefits the patient but it also speeds dialysis thus saving time and money.
- the Squitieri Access System comprises a tube composed of PTFE and a silastic catheter. This tube is used to create an arteriovenous fistula.
- the PTFE end (arterial end) of the tube is sewn to an artery while the silastic catheter end is placed into the venous system by the Seldinger technique much like a standard central line.
- the entire system is subcutaneous at the completion of insertion.
- This system is a composite of the arterial end of a “gortex graft” joined to the venous end of a “permacath”. This system enjoys strengths of each type of access and at the same time avoids their weaknesses.
- an object of this invention is to provide a new and improved vascular access system.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a new and improved hemodialysis and vascular access system including an easily replaceable needle receiving site which has superior longevity and performance, is more easily implanted, more easily replaced, and is “user friendly” i.e. easily and safely accessed by a nurse or patient which is ideal for home hemodialysis.
- a more specific object of this invention is to provide a new and improved Squitieri hemodialysis and vascular access system including a subcutaneous composite PTFE/Silastic arteriovenous fistula.
- a further object of this invention is to provide a new and improved hemodialysis and vascular access system including a fistula utilizing an indwelling silastic end which is inserted percutaneously into the venous system and a PTFE arterial end which is anastomosed to an artery and including a unique needle receiving sites which are positioned anywhere between the ends and which have superior longevity and performance.
- a further object of this invention is to provide a system constructed to preserve laminar flow within the system and at the venous outflow end to reduce turbulence and shear force in the vascular system to the degree possible.
- a still further object of this invention is to provide a system wherein the arterial end (PTFE) may also be placed by percutaneous technique including one where blood entry holes are distant from the site where blood enters the veins.

- FIG. 7 illustrates a ringed tube sewn to an artery and connected to a first access site which is joined to a second site by silastic tubing and includes an outflow through silastic tubing which is floated into the venous system via a neck vein, i.e., a jugular vein;
- FIG. 8 is similar to FIG. 7 but shows PTFE sewn to an artery and silastic tubing floated into a different portion of the venous system;
- FIG. 9 depicts ringed PTFE tubing sewn to the subclavian artery and a dual access site coupled to the venous system via a neck vein, i.e., a jugular vein, at its other end;
- FIG. 10 shows a multi-layered variation at the venous end of the system
- FIG. 11 discloses a quick coupler design utilized in conjunction with the system
- FIG. 12 is a unique port design utilized in conjunction with the system
- FIG. 13 shows holes where ports can be fixed in place while FIG. 13a and FIG. 13b show cross-sectional views which depict the internal construction of the invention with FIG. 13b illustrating multi-layered tubing; and,
- FIG. 14 shows a variation of the system entry through vein wall (i.e. not percutaneous or purse string) wherein a cuff, sewn to vein as indwelling portion, is floated down stream.
- the Squitieri hemodialysis and vascular system as shown in FIG. 1 , comprises a PTFE/dacron (or other synthetic or natural material) tube 10 of several centimeters in length which is attached at one end by means of a coupling 11 to a needle access site 20 .
- Adjustable band 18 regulates the blood flow through the access site 20 .
- the PTFE tube 10 is approximately 7 mm in diameter and transitions downward to an open end portion 19 approximately 4 mm in diameter.
- the access site 20 includes an in line aperture 16 , see FIG. 2 , having a silicone tube 41 connected thereto at one end leading to a long flexible plastic/silastic/silicone tube 12 with transverse holes 13 along its free end.
- the number of holes 13 may vary within predetermined limits to achieve optimum results.
- the end 36 may be beveled for ease of insertion.
- This tubular arrangement functions as a subcutaneous connection between the arterial and venous systems. It may also be modified to allow part of the system to exit through the skin 14 to provide access to the blood circulation without placing needles 15 through the skin 14 into the fistula (usually at the PTFE end).
- the needle access areas 20 which are designed to receive needles 15 etc. to allow access to the system are in line conduits with self-sealing material 17 such as silicone located beneath the skin surface.
- the silicone member 25 comprises an oval configuration exposed within the frame 26 for ease of puncture.
- the system may be accessed immediately after insertion without having to wait for the graft to incorporate into the tissues as is the case with the current methods of subcutaneous fistulas.
- These access areas 20 will protect the graft since they are uniformly and easily utilized requiring little training or experience.
- the “needle receiving” sites 20 are designed in such a way to preserve laminar flow as far as possible (i.e. not a reservoir arrangement). Needle receiver sites 20 may be connected to a system via “quick couple” 45 for easy exchangability, see FIG. 11 .
- FIGS. 2 and 3 disclose a needle access site 20 wherein a silicone member 25 is mounted within a plastic or metal frame 26 .
- a protruding portion 27 of member 25 extends upwardly through the aperture 31 while a flange portion 28 extends outwardly on both sides of the portion 27 to be gripped by teeth 29 on the internal surface of frame 26 and member 32 .
- the member 26 includes a passage 16 for blood flow. The blood flow is accessed by inserting needles 15 through the silicone 25 which is preferably oval in shape. The teeth 29 seal the arterial pressure.
- the internal chamber 16 of the needle receiving site 20 is tubular in shape.
- the free end 19 of the PTFE tube 10 is sewn to an opening in an artery 30 , see FIG. 7 , while the plastic end 24 having been inserted percutaneously lies in the venous system in such a way that the openings 13 in the silastic tube 12 are downstream from the site where the flexible plastic tube 24 enters the vein 40 .
- the venous end may be inserted via “cutdown”.
- the purpose of the system is to allow communication between an artery 30 and a vein 40 in such a way that the system may be accessed by either puncturing the PTFE segment or by entering the specialized “needle receiving” site 20 . This allows blood to flow from the system to a hemodialysis machine (not shown) and then return into the venous outflow portion at a more distal (venous end) location allowing the blood 35 to return from the HD machine (not shown) back into the patient.
- FIG. 4 discloses, as an alternative, a “glued” connection between PTFE tubing 60 and silicone tubing 61 wherein the PTFE 61 is inserted into an enlarged portion of silicone 61 wherein the longitudinally extending portion includes a raised section 63 which locks a raised section 64 of PTFE 61 within the silicone 60 .
- the materials used may vary as specified herein.
- the system may be constructed of one or more specific materials.
- the arteries and veins used may also vary.
- Material may also be covered with thrombus resistant coatings (heparin, etc.) or biologic tissue.
- the system may in specific cases be “ringed” for support.
- the system comprises an arterial reservoir structure or port 50 with a needle accessible top portion 51 preferably constructed of silicone.
- the reservoir 50 is connected to an outlet tube 53 of PTFE (gortex-ringed), which is sewn to an artery 30 at its other end.
- PTFE glycol-ringed
- the venous outlet tube 52 is constructed in a similar way but it is either sewn to a vein 40 via gortex ringed portion 52 or is placed percutaneously into the central circulation via an indwelling venous (silicon) catheter 42 as shown in FIG. 6 . There is no continuous flow through this version of the system since the ports are not connected.
- FIG. 6 shows two separate ports 51 a and 51 b with one tube 53 sewn to an artery 30 and the other tube 42 floated down a vein 40 .
- FIG. 7 illustrates, in an anatomical drawing, a ringed gortex tubing an outlet tube 53 of PTFE (ringed gortex) sewn to an artery 30 at 62 and coupled at its other end 63 62a to the needle access site 20 .
- the site 20 see FIGS. 1-3 , is joined by silastic tubing 64 68 to a second access site 20 a which has an outlet silastic tube 65 .
- the outlet tube 65 includes a plurality of perforations 66 at its outlet end which is positioned in the venous system 67 through a neck vein, i.e., a jugular vein 40 . Either site 20 or 20 a can be used for needle access.
- FIG. 8 depicts an embodiment similar to that of FIG. 7 except that the coupling between the artery 30 and the first needle access site 20 is PTFE tube 69 .
- the entry to the venous system 67 is via vein 40 which has silastic tubing 65 floated therein.
- 69 a depicts PTFE joining parts 20 and 20 a.
- FIG. 9 illustrates a dual needle access site 80 which is coupled via ringed PTFE 53 to the subclavian artery 30 and floated into the venous system 67 via silastic tubing 65 .
- the dual site 80 provides additional access through 25 a, 25 b in approximately the same area with tubing (not shown) extending through the dual site 80 .
- FIG. 10 depicts a variation of the invention at the venous end wherein the outlet of the port 20 comprises PTFE tubing 91 located within a silastic catheter 92 . This design is appropriate if thrombosis is a problem in the outlet silastic portion of the shunt.
- FIG. 11 discloses a quick coupler 45 joining the PTFE tubing 53 to the port 46 in the needle access site 20 .
- a plastic or metal member 47 includes a portion 48 which engages the cylindrical tubing 10 , an intermediate portion 49 extending perpendicularly outward and an end portion 43 tapered outwardly at an angle and including an inward projection 44 .
- the projecting portion 44 of the member 47 engages a slot 54 in the port 46 firmly fixing the PTFE 10 therebetween.
- 45 a is made of flexible material to allow a gentle curve in tubing as it exits/enters port.
- FIG. 12 is an exploded view of a new port embodiment wherein the port 71 comprises a frame 72 having an inlet 73 and an outlet 74 .
- the plastic or metal frame 75 includes a recessed reservoir 76 and end walls 78 a and 78 b.
- An upper member 85 having a recess 86 and downwardly projecting sides 87 a and 87 b fits within walls 77 a and 77 b.
- the member 45 rapidly couples the PTFE tubing 10 to site 71 with tubing 88 which fits over the inlet coupling 73 and the outlet coupling 74 with recessed portions 75 a and 75 b which engage tubing 88 a and 88 b and have couplers 89 a and 89 b which slide over the tubing 88 a, 88 b to engage the couplings 73 and 74 .
- FIG. 13 shows a typical dual port system showing holes 55 where ports 20 can be fixed in place.
- FIG. 14 discloses a cuff 56 which is made of PTFE and sewn to a vein. No physiological/functional venues anastomosis is created as blood is returned at the end of the system distant from the cuff.
- the silastic end 12 may still be lined with PTFE.
- the upper member 86 includes an oval silicone access site 90 with an outer housing 91 which includes an aperture 92 surrounds the silicone oval 90 .
- This embodiment provides a quick assembly for a needle access site 71 .
- the Squitieri Hemodialysis/Vascular Access System avoids creation of a venous anastomosis, a revolutionary advancement, i.e. there is no site for neointimal hyperplasia at a venous anastomosis which accounts for the vast majority of PTFE arteriovenous graft failures (60-80%). This is accomplished by returning the blood into a larger vein via an indwelling venous catheter 42 . The site of blood return to the venous system is not fixed to the vein wall where neointimal hyperplasia occurs with the standard PTFE bridge graft. This feature represents a tremendous advantage over the present grafts.
- the system is not stagnant and prone to thrombosis, i.e. constant flow through the new system avoids the problem of clotting inherent in indwelling dual lumen venous catheters which remain stagnant when not in use. It also avoids need to flush catheters with heplock thereby reducing nursing costs to maintain the catheter.
- the Squitieri system avoids externalization of components which are prone to infection. Since dual lumen catheters exit the skin 14 , they frequently lead to sepsis requiring catheter removal despite subcutaneous tunneling. This new access is entirely subcutaneous.
- the system proposed herein avoids problems with the aspiration of blood from the venous system and “positional” placement through continuous flow.
- a frequent problem with dual lumen catheters is their inability to draw blood from the venous system due to clot and fibrinous debris ball-valving at the tip of a catheter.
- This new system receives blood directly from arterial inflow which ensures high flow rates needed for shorter, more efficient dialysis runs. It also avoids the frequent problem of the catheter tip “sucking” on the vein wall inhibiting flow to the dialysis machine and rendering the access ineffective.
- the system avoids recirculation seen with dual lumen catheters resulting in more efficient and more cost effective dialysis.
- the system avoids the need for temporary access with incorporation of “Needle Access Sites” 20 .
- A-V fistulas and gortex grafts must “mature” for several weeks before use. This creates a huge strain on the patient as well as the doctor to achieve temporary access while waiting to use the permanent access.
- Temporary access is very prone to infection, malfunction and vein destruction.
- Needle Access Sites 20 The system avoids PTFE needle site damage with the incorporation of “Needle Access Sites” 20 . Needle access directly into PTFE is presently uncontrolled and user dependent. Often, PTFE is lacerated by access needles. While this system may be accessed via the PTFE segment, the needle receiving sites are the preferred method. This leads to excessive bleeding which requires excessive pressure to halt the bleeding causing thrombosis of the graft. “Needle Access Sites” 20 on the Squitieri access system allow safe, quick, and easy entry into the system and avoid the complications inherent in placing needles directly into PTFE. It also avoids perigraft bleeding which will compress and thrombose the graft. By eliminating the long time needed to compress bleeding at the needle site, the system shortens dialysis runs.
