Definitions
- This invention relates to implantable vascular access devices. It relates more particularly to a vascular access device particularly suitable for hemodialysis.
- Hemodialysis is standard therapy for the treatment of end-stage renal disease.
- the treatment involves connecting the patient to a dialysis or kidney machine which cleanses the patient's blood of waste products such as urea and water. Typically, the treatment is carried out three times per week.
- One of the major difficulties with chronic hemodialysis is the establishment and maintenance of access to the patient's vascular system for the purpose of withdrawing the blood to be dialyzed and returning the dialyzed blood to the patient.
- the preferred method for chronic hemodialysis access is the creation of an arterio-venous fistula in the arm of the patient.
- the fistula is a surgical connection of an artery to a vein.
- the blood flow through the blood vessels involved is increased since the flow resistant capillaries are bypassed.
- the pressure at the venous side of the fistula is also increased, causing the vein to enlarge its diameter and causing the walls of the vein to thicken.
- the transformed vein becomes a site with a suitably large diameter and blood flow, e.g., 150ml/min., to puncture with needles for the purpose of connecting the patient to a dialysis machine.
- vascular graft an artificial vessel, called a vascular graft
- the material of the graft is suitable for puncturing with needles to achieve the necessary access to the patient's blood system.
- an external catheter is used to provide temporary access to the patient's venous system.
- an external catheter is used as the principle hemodialysis access.
- These catheters consist of a tube, generally made of silicon rubber, having a round or oval crossection and two lumens. One end of the tube, referred to as the distal end, resides in the patient's vasculature. A common location for that end is in the superior vena cava, but the femoral vein is also used.
- the proximal end of the catheter lies outside the patient's skin so that it is accessible by medical personnel performing the dialysis. That end is usually fitted with Luer connectors for coupling the dual lumen catheter to conduits leading to the dialysis machine.
- the connectors at the proximal end of the catheter while offering a ieedle free" means of connecting the patient to the dialysis machine, are very difficult to maintain in a sterile condition. Once these connectors become contaminated, the organisms are transmitted to the patient during dialysis. Also, even though these catheters are flushed with heparinized solutions after each use, their lumens frequently become occluded with thrombus. This is due, in part, to blood being drawn into the lumens in order to make up for the volume of fluid lost by the process of diffusion through the wall of that segment of the catheter which resides outside of the patient.
- an implantable vascular access port at the proximal end of the catheter so that the connections of the dialysis machine to the patient can be made subcutaneously.
- Such ports have long been used to provide vascular access for chemotherapy.
- the design of those devices does not allow them to be used for hemodialysis because their flow resistance is too high to permit the blood flow rates required in dialysis.
- the needle sizes used to access conventional ports are kept small in order to prevent excessive damage to the resealable silicon rubber septa in the portal; the fluid flow through the port is required to make abrupt turns, creating turbulence in the blood flow, and the blood flow path through an access needle and into the patient contains abrupt enlargements and restrictions which also encourage turbulent flow.
- Such turbulence not only reduces the blood flow rate, but also promotes the formation of thrombus.
- the present invention aims to provide an alternative means of hemodialysis which overcomes the problems of infection and lumen occlusion associated with external hemodialysis access catheters.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide a vascular access device which is relatively safe to use.
- a further object is to provide a vascular access device whose septa are not prone to leakage even over the long term.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide a device of this type which minimizes thrombus formation and damage to the blood cells. Still another object of the invention is to provide a vascular access device which is relatively easy to manufacture in quantity.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a vascular access device which can remain in a patient for prolonged period without undo discomfort to the patient.
- Our vascular access device comprises a dual-access port head connected to a dual lumen flexible catheter, the entire device being totally implantable.
- Each port head includes a septum which may be penetrated easily by a hypodermic needle which acts as a conduit for injecting or aspirating fluid through the device.
- each septum When the needle is withdrawn, the septum re-seals due to compressive stresses in the septum material created at the time of manufacture.
- each septum may be made as a bi-durometer device, in other words, it may consist of two different durometer rubbers.
- the outer layer or portion of the septum may be a relatively hard durometer rubber which prevents the septum from ballooning under pressure and gives the septum overall structural integrity.
- the inner layer of the septum may be of a much softer rubber which has excellent reseating characteristics. Resultantly, the septum will be able to withstand numerous needle punctures without leakage.
- each needle has a stylet which occludes the lumen of the needle during insertion through the device's septum. With the stylet in place, the needle cannula can penetrate the septum without coring the septum material. Once the needle is in place, the stylet is removed and the hub of the needle may be connected to an infusion line leading to the dialysis machine.
- the dual-access port head comprises a pair of concial shells joined at their outer surfaces along a line of tangency. The large opening into each shell is closed by a needle-penetrable self-sealing septum.
- An outlet tube is connected to the small opening of each shell, those tubes being bent so that they curve away from the conical axes of the respective shells and lie parallel to one another, being spaced apart a distance equal to the spacing of the two lumens of the catheter connected to the head.
- This head construction places the septum of each shell directly opposite the outlet tube for that shell so that when a needle accesses one of the shells, it will lie, more or less, in line with the outlet tube for that shell. Resultantly, blood from that needle will flow in a substantially direct path to the outlet tube thereby minimizing turbulence.
- the conical shape of each shell of the head provides for the gradual contraction of the fluid flow from the needle to the outlet tube, further minimizing flow resistance and blood- damaging turbulence associated with flow through fluid passages which have abrupt changes in direction and diameter.
- Conical port shells having the above features may be manufactured easily by machining a radially symmetric conical body with a straight outlet tube whose axis is coincident with the axis of the conical shell and then bending the outlet tube to the requisite degree. Therefore, the cost of the access device can be kept to a minimum.
- FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a vascular access device incorporating the invention
- FIG. 2 is a plan view on a larger scale, with parts broken away, of the head portion of the FIG. 1 device, and
- FIGS. 3A to 3C are diagrammatic views illustrating the use of the FIG. 1 device.
- the subject access port for hemodialysis comprises a dual chamber head 10 connected to a flexible dual-lumen outlet catheter 12.
- the distal end of the catheter is designed so that the exit points of the catheter's lumens 12a and 12b are spaced apart from one another by about 1 inch. This helps to reduce unwanted recirculation, i.e., dialyzed blood returning to the patient via one lumen being drawn back immediately into the other lumen.
- head 10 comprises a pair of mirror-image conical ports 10a and 10b joined together at a common line of tangency by a weld line 14.
- Suture rings 16 are present at the opposite sides of head 10 so that when the head is implanted into the body, it can be sutured to adjacent tissue to anchor the head.
- the ports 10a and 10b each comprise a conical shell 22 whose larger end has a rounded exterior surface 22a.
- a concial groove 24 is inscribed in the interior surface of the shell adjacent to that larger end for seating a needle-penetrable self-sealing septum 26.
- Septum 26 is "shoe-horned" into the open end of shell 22 so that its inner edge seats on the inner wall 24a of groove 24 and so that the outer edge 24b of that groove overhangs the septum, thereby retaining it in place.
- Septum 26 has a rounded raised central portion or dome 26a which protrudes from the end of the shell. When the head 10 is implanted in the body, that raised portion 26a can be felt under the skin so that a needle can be aimed properly at the septum.
- the illustrated septum 26 is actually composed of two layers 26b and 26c of different durometer materials.
- the upper layer 26b is of a relatively high durometer material such as 70 SHORE A blend silicone for strength to avoid blowout.
- the lower or inner layer 26c is of a lower durometer material, e.g., 20 SHORE A silicon rubber, which can maintain a seal despite many needle punctures.
- a small integral outlet tube 32 leads from the smaller end of each shell 22.
- the outlet tubes 32 which form the apexes of the conical shells 22, do not lie along the axes of the shells.
- Conical ports 10a and 10b may be manufactured relatively easily by machining a radially symmetric conical shell 22 with a straight outlet tube 32 whose axis is coincident with the axis of the conical shell and then bending the outlet tube the desired amount, e.g., 20°. Ports manufactured in this manner maintain smoothly converging flow passages free of sharp corners and abrupt changes in diameter.
- the material of the shells 22 should have the desired ductility and acceptable bio- compatability for long term implantation in contact with blood. We have found that commercially pure titanium ASTM B348 grade 1 or 2 is a suitable material.
- the surface properties and surface finish of the blood contacting parts of the device 10 have an important effect on the performance of the device. It is desirable to have the blood contacting surfaces as smooth as possible in order to prevent thrombus formation and damage to the blood cells. Highly polished internal surfaces can be produced inside each shell 22 and each outlet tube 32 by pumping a slurry of abrasive material through the shells. Slurries of increasingly finer grits may be used until the desired interior surface finish is obtained.
- the blood compatibility of device 10 can be improved further by employing materials with inherent thromboresistance.
- One such material is carbon of the type used in the construction of artificial heart valves.
- the superior blood contacting performance of carbon has been attributed to its ability to adsorb onto its surface a limited amount of albumin and fibrinogen from the blood. This protein adsorption results in a lowering of the surface energy of the carbon and the generation of a non-clotting surface.
- Carbon can be placed on the internal surfaces of each shell 22 and each outlet tube 32 by a vapor deposition process, rendering the coated surface more thrombo- resistant than a bare titanium surface.
- a coating is quite thin and may not be suitable for those surfaces of the device which are likely to be contacted by the sharp tip of an hypodermic needle during normal use of the device.
- the access needle may scrape off some of the thin carbon coating.
- pyrolitic carbon may be used because that material, as well as being thromboresistant, is harder than the needle material.
- the present device 10 composed of the conical shells 22 allows use of self-supporting pyrolitic carbon inserts or liners of simple conical geometry.
- a liner such as this is shown at 34 in FIG. 2.
- the liner 34 creates a thromboresistant, as well as a scratch resistant, surface over most parts of the shell's interior. There is no need to bond the carbon liner 34 to the shell 22 since it is mechanically captured by the internal geometry of the shell and the septum 26.
- the remaining interior surface of titanium e.g., at outlet tube 32, can be provided with a carbon coating 36 by a standard deposition process because it will never be contacted by an access needle.
- the above- described abrasive slurry procedure may then be practiced on the composite port body in order to ensure that the transition between the carbon liner 34 and the interior coating 36 is a smooth one.
- the device 10 may be implanted under the skin S of the chest wall just below the clavicle as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C.
- the distal end or tip of catheter 12 is normally placed in the junction of the superior vena cava in the right atrium of the heart.
- the catheter is routed through a smaller vessel which joins the vena cava, such as the internal or external jugular vein.
- the subclavien vein can also be used, but is generally held in reserve if there is a chance that it will be used to construct an access fistula for the patient at some future date.
- Needle 42 When the patient is to be dialyzed, the flow path in each port 10a, 10b is accessed by a special hypodermic needle shown generally at 42.
- Needle 42 includes a relatively large diameter cannula 44, e.g., 12 to 16 gage, having a stylet or obturator 46 which occludes the lumen of the cannula when the needle is inserted through septum 26 into port 10a or 10b.
- the needle cannula may penetrate the septum 26 as shown in FIG. 3A without coring the septum. Resultantly, there is minimal fluid turbulence and thrombus formation. Yet, because of the bend in outlet tube 32, the cannula cannot be inserted into tube 32 far enough to contact, and possibly damage, outlet catheter 12.
- the stylet 46 is provided with an hub 52 at its proximal end which reieasably engages to a connector or hub 54 at the proximal end of the cannula.
- a connector or hub 54 at the proximal end of the cannula.
- both flow paths of the device 10 are flushed and "locked" with heparinized saline, the cannulas 44 are removed and sterile dressings are applied over the puncture sites in skin S. Since the entire catheter 12 as well as the ports 10a and 10b are totally implanted and thereby occupy a water-filled environment, liquid contained in the catheter lumens 12a and 12b is not lost by diffusion through the catheter walls. Accordingly, the heparinized saline "lock" is maintained much longer than is the case with those catheters which do penetrate the skin. This improved retention of the heparin lock results in fewer incidents of the catheter becoming occluded with thrombus.
- the present port may also serve as a route to administer IV medication or to obtain blood samples.
- smaller gage, non-coring or Huber tip needles commonly used with chemotherapy ports may be used to access the device 10.
