Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of surgery, and particularly to instruments for facilitating the performance of surgery related to the flow of blood. More particularly, the invention relates to balloon catheters that have a predetermined folding pattern for ease in removing or relocating the balloon after insertion into a blood vessel. Upon deflation, the balloons collapse according to the predetermined folding pattern to result in a low profile configuration.
  • Background of the Invention When a patient is afflicted with an obstructed coronary artery, the artery typically is dilated using a procedure known as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty ("PTCA"). PTCA is performed using a "balloon" catheter (or a PTCA catheter).
  • a balloon catheter consists, very basically, of an inflatable balloon and a means for guiding the balloon to the target occlusion and for inflating the balloon to dilate the artery at the point of the occlusion.
  • the catheter also permits simultaneous monitoring of aortic pressure and/or simultaneous dye injections to clarify the vascular anatomy.
  • a guiding catheter typically is introduced through a sheath which guides the catheter to the aortic origin of the vessel to be dilated.
  • the guiding catheter supports the balloon catheter as it is threaded onto the guidewire until the "balloon" portion of the catheter reaches the occlusion.
  • the balloon portion then is inflated from an external port, resulting in compression of the atheromatous lesion in a manner perpendicular to the vessel, thus dilating the lumen.
  • a balloon catheter system having the lowest profile is desirable in order to facilitate the passage of the balloon across severe and remote vascular obstructions.
  • Known angioplasty catheters have been shipped to doctors and hospitals in sterilized condition with the balloon deflated and in a "wing-folded" condition.
  • wing folding involves flattening of the balloon along the catheter body and folding the " balloon over onto the- catheter body in two segments which resemble wings coming from a fuselage.
  • the catheters were wing-folded in the factory prior to shipment.
  • One problem encountered with wing-folded balloons was that the doctor and/or technician generally had to inject a contrast fluid to displace gas in the balloon.
  • the balloon lost its low profile, "wing-folded” configuration.
  • manufacturers could prefill the balloon with contrast fluid and place a sleeve over the balloon to maintain the low profile, wing-folded position.
  • "wing-folded" balloons have a low profile during insertion, the balloons unfold upon inflation. After the target blood vessel is dilated, the balloon must again be returned to a low profile for ease in removing the catheter and/or repositioning to dilate a different blood vessel.
  • the present invention provides a catheter with at least one lumen therethrough and a balloon sealingly engaged in fluid communication with the lumen.
  • the balloon has a predetermined folding pattern with at least three collapsible grooves or depressions. Upon deflation, the grooves or depressions automatically collapse inward, resulting in a folded configuration which can be twisted into a very low profile configuration.
  • the catheter body preferably is made of polyetheretherketone (“PEEK”)
  • the fluted balloon preferably is made of polyvinylidine fluoride (“PVDF”), polyurethane, and polyester terephthalate.

La présente invention se rapporte à un cathéter (10) pourvu d'au moins un lumen (22) et d'un ballonnet (16) en contact hermétique et en communication fluidique avec le lumen (22). Le ballonnet (16) se replie selon une configuration prédéterminée comportant au moins trois rainures ou sillons pliables (20). Lorsque le ballonnet se dégonfle, les rainures ou sillons (20) se replient automatiquement vers l'intérieur, donnant une configuration pliée qui peut être torsadée et transformée en une configuration à profil très réduit. Le corps du cathéter (10) est de préférence en polyétheréthercétone ('PEEK') et le ballonnet (16) rainuré est de préférence fabriqué dans un fluorure polyvinylidine ('PVDF') et un polyuréthane.
