Definitions
- This invention relates to catheters placed in the body of a patient such as in the cardiovascular system and, in particular, to a catheter which permits exchange of the catheter while maintaining in the patient the guidewire over which the catheter is inserted.
- Catheters are placed at various locations within a patient for a wide variety of purposes and medical procedures.
- a balloon dilatation catheter which is used in the treatment of a vascular stenosis.
- Such a catheter has a balloon at its distal end which is intended to be placed, in a deflated condition, within the stenosis, and then inflated while in the stenosis to expand radially the stenosed lumen of the blood vessel.
- the placement of such catheters involves the use of a guidewire which may be advanced through the patient's vasculature to the location which is to be treated.
- the catheter which has a guidewire lumen adapted to receive the guidewire, then is advanced over the wire to the stenosis, or, alternatively, the wire and catheter may be advanced in unison to the stenosis with the wire protruding from the distal end of the catheter.
- catheters there are three types of catheters: "over-the-wire” catheters, “monorail” catheters and “fixed balloon on a wire” catheters.
- An over-the-wire catheter comprises a guidewire lumen which extends the entire length of the catheter.
- the guidewire is disposed entirely within the catheter except for the distal and proximal portions of the guidewire which extend beyond the distal and proximal ends of the catheter respectively.
- a typical over-the-wire balloon dilatation catheter is disclosed in Simpson et al. U.S. Patent No. 4,323,071.
- Over-the-wire catheters have many advantages traceable to the presence of a full-length guidewire lumen such as good stiffness and pushability for readily advancing the catheter through the tortuous vasculature to the stenosis, and the availability of the guidewire lumen for transporting radiocontrast dye to the stenosis or for pressure measurements.
- over-the-wire catheters do suffer some shortcomings. For example, it often becomes necessary, in the performance of a catheter procedure, to exchange the indwelling catheter for another catheter having a different size balloon. In order to maintain a guidewire in position while withdrawing the catheter, the guidewire must be gripped at its proximal end to prevent it from being pulled out of the blood vessel with the catheter.
- the catheter which may typically be on the order of 135 centimeters long, is longer than the proximal portion of the standard guidewire which protrudes out of patient. For this reason, in order to effectuate an exchange of an over-the- wire catheter, a wire of the order of 300 centimeters long is necessary.
- the guidewire first is removed from the lumen of the indwelling catheter. Then a longer exchange wire is passed through the catheter to replace the original wire. Then, while holding the exchange wire by its proximal end to maintain it in place, the catheter is withdrawn proximally from the blood vessel over the exchange wire. After the first catheter has been removed, the next catheter is then threaded onto the proximal end of the exchange wire and is advanced along the exchange wire and through the patient's blood vessels until the distal end of the catheter is located as desired.
- the exchange wire may be permitted to remain in place or may be exchanged for a shorter, conventional length guidewire. Alternatively, the length of the initial guidewire may be extended by way of a guidewire extension apparatus (see Gambale et al. U.S. Patent No. 4,917,103).
- the long length of the exchange wire dictates that two operators are needed to perform the procedure. During the procedure, it is necessary that the operators communicate with each other which makes the procedure time consuming. Furthermore, the long length of the exchange wire renders it awkward to handle.
- Cath ⁇ eters of this type which are described in U.S. Patent Nos. Bl 4,762,129, 5,040,548 and 5,061,273, are formed so that the guidewire is located outside of the catheter except for a short segment at the distal end of the catheter, which passes over the wire.
- the distal segment of the catheter has a short lumen which extends from the distal tip of the catheter to a more proximally located opening near the dis ⁇ tal tip.
- the guidewire is placed initially in the patient's vascular system.
- the distal segment of the cathe ⁇ ter then is threaded onto the wire.
- the catheter can be advanced alongside the wire with its distal segment being attached to and guided along the wire.
- the catheter can be removed and exchanged for another catheter without the use of the usual double length exchange wire and without requir ⁇ ing withdrawal of the initially placed guidewire.
- the monorail catheters which do not include a guidewire lumen for the entire length of the catheter, also lack the desired stiffness and pushability for readily advancing the catheter through tortuous blood vessels.
- the lack of a full length guidewire lumen deprives the physician of an additional lumen that may be used for other purposes, e.g., pressure measurement and distal dye injection.
- a telescoping balloon catheter for insertion into a patient over an elongated guidewire.
- the catheter includes an elongated inflation shaft having a longitudinal inflation lumen, an extension shaft disposed distal to the inflation shaft and through which the inflation lumen is continued, a balloon element disposed at the distal end of the extension shaft and in fluid communication with the inflation lumen, a guidewire shaft having a longitudinal guidewire lumen which extends from the distal end of the balloon member, through the balloon member and the extension shaft, to the proximal end of the extension shaft, and a telescoping portion.
- the telescoping portion comprises first and second telescoping tubes which are slidably mounted on the inflation shaft and the extension shaft.
- the first and second telescoping tubes are sized so that the first telescoping tube can be retracted into the second telescoping tube.
- the extension shaft is sized so that it can be retracted into the first telescoping tube.
- the effective "over-the-wire length" of the telescoping balloon catheter can be significantly reduced by retracting the first telescoping tube and the extension tube into the second telescoping tube. Since the effective "over-the-wire length" of the telescoping balloon catheter can be reduced to a length less than the proximal portion of a standard guidewire protruding from the patient's body, an exchange of the indwelling catheter can be effected without the use of an extension wire.

- the stop members 151 and 153 are sized so as to engage and prevent the proximal end of the extension shaft 140 from being maneuvered distal of the distal end of the first telescoping tube 160.
- the catheter is then advanced over the indwelling catheter to the site of the stenosis.
- the catheter may be removed from the patient's vasculature by continually withdrawing the inflation shaft until the proximal portion of the fully retracted telescoping portion protrudes from the guiding catheter and then the catheter is backed off in a conventional manner.
