Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of endovascular support to maintain patency of narrowed vessels and facilitate repair of injured or degenerated vessels by implantation of a device within the target vessel. More specifically, the invention relates to acceptable biological coverings for an endovascular support device and the local delivery of a therapeutic substance into the vascular tissue, as a complementary treatment.
- Partial and even complete blockage ofthe vascular system by the formation of an atherosclerotic plaque is a well known and frequent medical problem.
- Such blockages are often treated with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), also known as balloon angioplasty, or by intravascular stent implantation.
- PTCA percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
- PTCA is an alternative to vascular bypass surgery, which includes a surgically exposing incision, and removing, replacing, or bypassing the defective blood vessel.
- Structures which have previously been used as intraluminal vascular grafts have included coiled stainless steel springs, and grafted stents made out of synthetic material (Dacron or PTFE). Examples of such prior art devices may be found in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,306,286; 5,026,377; 5,019,085; 5,019,090; 4,913,141; 4,886,062; 4,733,665; and 4,503,569.
- the balloon In balloon dilatation of vascular stenosis, or blockages, the balloon is inflated
- Vascular prosthetic devices are often utilized in an effort to maintain vessel patency and prevent restinosis.
- vascular prosthetic devices or patches are often associated with increased thrombogenicity ofthe PTCA site due to the blood contacting the surfaces ofthe prosthetic device, and result in occlusion ofthe vesicle.
- synthetic materials used in conventional endovascular prostheses tend to
- a device and method for supporting endovascular vessels which provides local therapy for repairing those blood vessels narrowed or occluded by disease, and which provides a biologically acceptable substrate for grafting to the patient.
- a device which includes providing local therapy resulting in high local concentrations of therapeutic drugs at the treatment site.
- the art has sought such an expandable intraluminal vascular support graft, and alternatively an independent arterial-vascular fistula, which prevents recurrence of stenosis, to be utilized to support or replace degenerated vein grafts, coronary arteries, and the peripheral arterial and venous system.
- the present invention provides an endovascular support device adapted for local delivery of a therapeutic agent and for minimizing the rate of restinosis.
- the device has a cylindrical support body having an inside surface and an outside surface.
- the endovascular support device ofthe present invention also has at least one layer of pericardial tissue covering at least a portion ofthe inside surface or the outside surface ofthe cylindrical support body.
- the endovascular support device ofthe present invention is provided with a therapeutic agent disposed on a portion thereof.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view ofthe endovascular support device in accordance with one embodiment ofthe invention positioned on a balloon catheter delivery means inside a vesicle.
- Fig. 2 is a cross section view ofthe endovascular support device taken along the plane defined by the line 2-2 in Fig. 1, and positioned within a vesicle.
- Fig. 3 is a partial cut away view ofthe pericardial tissue ofthe endovascular support device with micropores disposed therethrough for delivery of a therapeutic agent.
- Fig. 4 is a schematic side view of six (Figs. 4A-4F) alternative embodiments of the endovascular support device ofthe present invention.
- the present invention provides an endovascular support device 10 adapted for local delivery of a therapeutic agent 50 and for minimizing the rate of restinosis.
- the device 10 has a cylindrical support body 12
- the cylindrical support having an inside surface 14 and an opposite outside surface 16.
- the support body 12 may be constructed of an expandable flexible wire coil or a tubular mesh of multiple coils or rings.
- the support body 12 may be constructed of a molded polymer, or similarly rigid substance, or a combination ofthe two.
- An expandable support material can permit precise positioning and maintenance ofthe device 10 within a bodily vesicle 25, with the assistance of an angioplasty balloon
- a guide wire 18 is inserted within the vesicle 25 to the point where endovascular support is desired.
- the present invention is moved through the vesicle 25 along the guide wire 18.
- the balloon 17 is inflated and the device 10 is positioned against the walls of
- the endovascular support device 10 can be used within existing and grafted vesicles in a patient.
- the device 10 may be positioned within a vesicle for a variety of purposes, such as for structural support or to occlude an
- the device 10 can be used independently to provide a vascular replacement for ineffective vesicles, or as a separate fistula as for dialysis.
- the endovascular support device 10 ofthe present invention also has at least one layer of pericardial tissue 20 covering at least a portion of the inside surface 14 or the outside surface 16 ofthe cylindrical support body 12.
- the pericardial tissue 20 provides a thin- walled membrane made of biological tissue to promote acceptance and fusion with the patient's blood vessel 25 tissue.
- the support device 10 surface may have an adjustable thickness by varying the number of tissue 20 layers.
- the pericardium may be chosen from any mammal, but is preferably of porcine, bovine, or human origin.
- porcine pericardium may be retrieved from that surrounding the heart of a sacrificed pig. After shaving the excess fat, the tissue can be immersed in 0.2% glutaraldehyde, which creates permanent strengthening chemical cross-links. The porcine pericardium can then be immersed in porcine albumin solution. When the pericardium is wrapped on the support body 12, it may be adhered to the
- the pericardial tissue may be stored in a cold electrolyte solution until used.
- Pericardial tissue provides a su ⁇ risingly effective biological endovascular support covering. This feature is due, at least in part, to the strength and elasticity of the tissue.
- the pericardium also has a very low degree of thrombogenicity and is biocompatible with graft recipients. Furthermore, the pericardium serves as an excellent drug delivery means, due to its porosity and high collagen content.

- the invention contemplates that the device 40 may be made available either presoaked with a therapeutic agent, or provided such that a therapeutic agent is chosen for soaking or injection into the reservoir just prior to placement ofthe device 10 in the patient.
- the therapeutic agent 40 can be an anticoagulant, such as D- Phe-Pro-Arg chloromethyl ketone, an RGD peptide-containing compound, heparin, an antithrombin compound, a platelet receptor antagonist, an anti-thrombin antibody, an anti-platelet receptor antibody, aspirin, a prostaglandin inhibitor, a platelet inhibitor or a

- the therapeutic agent 40 can be a cholesterol-lowering agent, a vasodilating agent, or other agents which interfere with endogenous vasoactive mechanisms. Additionally, the therapeutic agent 40 can be a smooth muscle inhibitor, such as: an agent that modulates intracellular calcium binding proteins; a receptor blocker for contractile agonists; an inhibitor ofthe sodium/hydrogen antiporter; a protease inhibitor; a nitro vasodilator; a phosphodiesterase inhibitor; a phenothiazine; a growth factor receptor agonist; an anti-mitotic agent; an immunosuppressive agent; or a protein kinase inhibitor.
