Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of surgi ⁇ cal devices, particularly dilatation catheters. Specif ⁇ ically- it concerns a dilatation catheter whose expandable member carries a cutting element which concurrently in ⁇ cises the tissue being subjected to dilatation forces, thereby reducing trauma and damage to such tissue from the dilatation forces.
  • Dilatation catheters are used to dilate body vessels, orifices and conduits such as an artery narrowed by atherosclerotic plaque and/or fiberomuscular disease or to dilate a constricted or obstructed ureter or urethra. They basically consist of an elongated catheter having an inflatable balloon or bladder at or near its distal end. A guide wire or other axial support means is often included to improve the torque control or "steerability" of the apparatus.
  • the major advantage of dilatation catheter use over conventional surgery is that it is less invasive. Nonetheless, the tissue that is stressed is often also subjected to significant trauma. As the bladder expands, it exerts pressure on the surrounding tissue, causing the tissue to compress, deform and expand.
  • a principal object of the present invention is to provide a dilatation catheter that permits tissue to be stressed, even beyond its limit of deformability, without experiencing uncontrolled tearing and the undesirable conditions associated therewith.
  • the invention is a dilatation catheter assembly comprising in combination: an elongated tubular body hav ⁇ ing a distal end carrying a radially dilatable member adapted to dilate and exert pressure on surrounding body tissue; means for dilating the dilatable member and a cut- ting element carried on the exterior of the dilatable member that moves radially in concert with the exterior of the dilatable member that is adapted to incise said tis ⁇ sue, thereby reducing damage to said tissue from dilata ⁇ tion forces.
  • the novel catheter of the invention con ⁇ currently exerts pressure on the tissue and makes a clean, sharp incision in the tissue while the tissue is subjected to the dilatation forces exerted by the dilating member.
  • the incision allows the tissue to separate along a pre- determined path and in a relatively clean, trauma-free manner as compared to the uncontrolled tearing that occurs when using prior devices.
  • another aspect of the invention is a method for dilating a body conduit, vessel or orifice comprising: inserting thereinto a dilatation catheter assembly comprising an elongated tubular body having a distal end carrying a radially dilatable member adapted to dilate and exert pressure on surrounding body tissue and a cutting element carried on the exterior of the dilatable member; dilating the dilatable member to an extent that causes the tissue to be simultaneously stressed by the dilatable member and incised by the cutting member; radi ⁇ ally contracting the dilatable member to cause the dilat ⁇ able member and cutting element to disengage the tissue; and withdrawing the dilatation catheter assembly there- from.
  • Figure 1 is a partly cross-sectional, isometric view of one embodiment of the invention catheter.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2-2 of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective, schematic sectional view of a portion of another embodiment of the invention catheter positioned within a body conduit.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional, side view of the embod ⁇ iment of Figure 3 in its deflated state.
  • Figure 5 is a sectional side view of the embodi ⁇ ment of Figure 3 in its inflated state.
  • Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view along line 6-
  • Figure 7 is a sectional elevational view of another embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 1 depicts a dilatation catheter assembly, generally designated 10, that may be used for dilating a body vessel or conduit, such as a ureter or urethra, to treat a blockage or other obstruction.
  • the main elements of catheter assembly 10 are: an adapter 11 that defines the proximal end 12 of the assembly and a site for various ports to the assembly; a catheter body 13 having a triple lumen 14 ( Figure 2); an inflatable balloon or bladder member 15; a stiffening stylet 16 that extends longitudinally within one of the three lumens of the catheter body; and a cutting element 17.
  • one of the three lumens 14 serves as an inflation/deflation passageway 18, a second carries stylet 16 and serves as a drainage/infusion passageway, and a third carries cutting element 17.
  • the adapter 12 serves as a site for a bladder inflation/deflation port 19 that is attached to a source of inflation medium (not shown) for inflating the bladder or a suction source (not shown) for deflating the bladder.
  • Port 19 has a valve 20 for regulating the inflation medium or suction, as the case may be.
  • Port 19 connects into the proximal end of an inflation/deflation passageway 18 that extends from the port 19 to the bladder.
  • the adapter also serves as a site for the drainage tube inlet/outlet port 22 and a cutting element port 23. The drainage port is connected to the proximal end of the lumen that carries the stylet 16.
  • the drainage port may serve as a site for removing fluid from the lumen or as a site for infusing fluid into the lumen.
  • the distal end of the catheter body has a series of drain holes 24 to facilitate flushing the lumen with fluid or voiding the bladder.
  • a "banana plug" cutting element connector 25 is affixed to the end of the cutting element port and the cutting element extends from the connector through the lumen of the catheter body and exits therefrom via an aperture 26 and continues along the exterior of the bladder.
  • the cutting element consists of a thin wire which has an external incising edge that faces outwardly from the bladder. Alternatively, the cutting element may be a sharp edge, beam, or cauterizing element.
  • the element/bladder is/are constructed (e.g., the element is flexible or expandable) such that the element is car ⁇ ried on the exterior of the bladder (at least when the bladder is inflated) but is not capable of incising the bladder.
  • the portion of the exterior of the bladder that is exposed to the element may carry a protec- tive cover (not shown) to further guard against the blad ⁇ der being incised by the element.
  • the element may be car ⁇ ried at a predetermined spacing from the bladder surface or directly on the surface. When carried on the surface the element may be an integral part of the surface or at ⁇ tached to the surface. If desired the cutting element may be extended/retracted manually via the connector into/out of the catheter body.
  • the distal end of the assembly includes a coudet tip 27.
  • a coudet tip 27 Such structure may not be necessary or desirable for dilating other conduits/ orifices.
  • the assembly may option ⁇ ally include another lumen and "Foley" type balloon (not shown) distally of the dilatation bladder to anchor the catheter in the bladder neck of the human body to facilitate correct positioning of the dilatation bladder and minimize the possibility of migration and displacement of the assembly.
  • One or more of the catheter assembly components may be made of radioopague materials to facilitate the visualization of the assembly by the physician during placement of the assembly in the body vessel/conduit.
  • the typical surgical procedure in which the catheter assembly 10 is employed involves the following steps. Normally a cytoscope is first inserted into the vessel/c ⁇ nduit/orifice to be dilated. Calibration devices may be inserted through the cytoscope to facilitate measuring the extent of the vessel/conduit/orifice being dilated. The dilatation catheter of Figure 1 is then inserted to the desired depth in the vessel/conduit. A cytoscope lens may then be inserted through the catheter body to allow visualization of the catheter and the bladder location.
  • Fluid may be infused throug the drainage tube or cytoscope to facilitate such visualiza- tion.
  • the bladder is inflated. Such inflation causes the cutting element to move radially ⁇ utwardly as the bladder surface expands radially until the cutting element contacts the surrounding tissue.
  • tissue is intended to include, without limitation, normal tissue, neoplastic tissue (tumors) or an obstruction such as plaque.
  • tissue is cut in a clean, concentrated fashion by the cutting element and the dilatation does not uncontrollably tear the tissue and cause excessive trauma and bleeding.
  • the inflated bladder provides the additional benefit of acting as a tamponade to reduce bleeding.
  • the bladder is deflated by connecting the inflation/deflation port to suction or atmospheric pres- sure and opening the inflation/deflation port valve thereto. Deflation of the bladder results in a simultane ⁇ ously radial retraction of the cutting element out of contact with the tissue.
  • the cutting element may be retracted via the connector 25. If desired, the element may be retracted prior to complete deflation of the bladder and/or the bladder reinflated and left in place to act as a tampon. Alternatively, the catheter is withdrawn from the vessel/conduit altogether.
  • Figures 3-6 depict another dilatation catheter assembly of the invention, generally designated 29, in use. Only the distal end of the assembly is shown. Adapter(s), inflation/deflation ports are not shown for convenience. • The distal end is defined by a closed end catheter tube 32 which carries an inflatable bladder member 33 on its exterior. The lumen 34 of tube 32 is connected to the source of inflation fluid/suction, as the case may be. The tube has a radial aperture 35 that opens into the lumen 36 of the bladder member. A pair of expandable ring-shaped members 37, 38 extend around the exterior of the bladder member near the distal and proximal ends thereof. One or more cutting elements 39 are affixed between the rings so that they extend longitudinally and outwardly therefrom.
  • Figures 3 (in solid line) and 4 show the as ⁇ sembly in its deflated state positioned within a vessel 42 partially obstructed by an obstruction 43.
  • pressurized fluid is passed through catheter tube lumen 34 and aperture 35 into the bladder lumen.
  • Inflation of the bladder in turn causes the ring members 37, 38 to expand and move the cutting element(s) 39 radially outward.
  • Figures 3 (phantom line), 5, and 6 show the bladder in an inflated state with the cutting element 39 incising the obstruction.
  • FIG. 7 shows yet another dilatation catheter assembly, generally designated 46, of the invention.
  • the assembly is shown in its deflated state.
  • This assembly is similar in structure to assembly 29 except that the assem ⁇ bly is housed within a sheath or introducer 47 and a cauterizing element 48 is connected to the cutting element 39.
  • the sheath permits the assembly to be introduced into the vessel in an unexposed manner, ejected from the end thereof for use, and retracted back into the sheath after use. The ejection and retraction may be achieved by relative longitudinal movement of the sheath, assembly, or both.
  • the heating element permits the cutting element (which in this instance must be made of a heat conducting material) to be heated to a temperature which allows the tissue to be both incised and cauterized.
  • the heating element is connected to a heat source/control, schematically shown at 49.
