Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a delivery device for a self expanding stent whose length shortens upon delivery from a small diameter to an expanded diameter conformation, which comprises a compensation mechanism which shifts the undelivered end of the stent towards the delivered portion by an amount adequate to compensate for the shortening and minimise displacement of the stent against the vessel wall.
  • Surgical dilators comprising a braided device whose diameter can be expanded by shortening the axial length are known. An early description of such a device for use in inter alia , the oesophagus, is provided in GB-A-1205743.
  • a prosthetic implant primarily for use in blood vessels, which comprises a braided tube, called a stent.
  • the tube is braided such that it is biased towards a radially expanded position and can be held for delivery in a radially compressed, loaded position for transluminal delivery.
  • Wallsten describes two main types of delivery device. One has retention means for both ends of the stent, which, in the delivery conformation, retain the stent by exerting axially directed opposing forces operating to pull the ends of the stent away from each other.
  • the stent is delivered by moving the proximal stent end retaining mechanism towards the distal end and allowing the central portion of the stent to expand outwards to contact the inner wall of the vessel in which it is to be implanted. Once the whole of the body portion is deployed the ends of the stent are released.
  • the drawing shows that the length change during deployment, whilst the distal end of the stent remains in fixed position relative to the vessel, results in inevitable displacement of the central deployed section in the blood vessel causing potential trauma to the vessel wall.
  • a second delivery device illustrated in Wallsten' s original specification comprises a sleeve within which the stent is retained in its delivery conformation.
  • a pusher tube is provided which abuts the proximal end of the stent and pushes the stent out from the distal end of the sleeve.
  • a pusher tube is provided which abuts the proximal end of the stent and pushes the stent out from the distal end of the sleeve.
  • Wallsten et al describe a "rolling membrane" delivery device.
  • a tubular membrane is folded over on itself to provide a double walled tube in the inner lumen of which the stent is retained in its reduced diameter conformation.
  • the fold at the distal end travels proximally to allow the stent to expand from the distal end.
  • This device suffers the same disadvantages as the original delivery devices, in that the proximal end remains in fixed position relative to the vessel, thereby requiring that the deployed distal end withdraw towards the proximal end as the diameter expands and the length shortens.
  • the surgeon must attempt to move the inner member joined to the inner wall of the membrane to move distally by a compensating amount.
  • Wallsten' s original delivery devices is that the stent cannot be retracted into the delivery device after partial deployment for instance upon the surgeon's requiring repositioning of the device.
  • the problems of US-A-4 , 732 , 152 were said to be solved in US-A-5,201,757 by providing two sleeve portions, a proximal sleeve portion surrounding the proximal half of the stent and the distal sleeve portion surrounding the distal end of the stent.
  • the sleeves may simultaneously be withdrawn from the centre of the stent towards the respective ends to allow deployment from the centre.
  • Means are provided for retaining the stent centre in fixed position relative to the blood vessel during deployment either comprising a central catheter located between the internal catheter joined to the distal sleeve portion and the external catheter joined to the proximal sleeve portion, which central catheter has means for preventing axial movement of the stent but allowing relative axial movement of both internal and external catheters.
  • Another mechanism comprises an internal catheter provided with external screw threads at each end of the stent retention section. Each set of threads engage with internal threads on respective sleeve carriers. The rotation of the sleeve carriers relative to the internal catheter is prevented.
  • Rotation of the internal catheter thus results in movement of both sleeve carriers by the same amount, so that, by keeping the internal catheter fixed axially relative to the blood vessel and rotating it, the sleeves can both be removed by the same amount from respective ends of the stent. It is, however, easier for deployment to involve axial movement rather than rotational movement.
  • a device/stent combination comprising a delivery device for delivery of a self expanding braided stent comprising a distal end section, a proximal end section and a flexible elongate body joining the two ends, in which the distal end section has a stent retaining means comprising a sleeve, a core and a gripper which grips one end of the stent between the sleeve and the core and prevents axial movement of the stent relative to the core, and in which the proximal end comprises a handle and trigger for actuating deployment and a stent mounted for deployment, wherein the stent is formed of braided counter rotating helical filaments, of which at least some of the filaments are welded at or near the stent ends at crossover points, whereby blobs of resolidified welded material are formed at welded crossover points and in which the gripper holds the stent between the sleeve and the core and prevents
  • the sleeve is joined to the housing for instance by an external catheter tube extending the entire length of the deployment device.
  • the catheter tube may have a separate lumen for delivery of liquid, for instance contrast liquid to allow visualisation of the implantation site by X-rays during the surgical procedure, or medicaments.
  • a separate lumen is provided with liquid inlet at the proximal end of the device.
  • the single lumen of an external catheter tube may provide a contrast liquid or medicament liquid conduit and may thus be provided with a liquid inlet and a seal for sealing the lumen proximally of the liquid inlet.
  • the means for fixing the pusher rotationally with respect to the handle may comprise a tongue extending along the axis of the handle and slidably received in a slot in the inside of the proximal wall of the hollow handle.
  • the housing is tubular and slides inside the hollow handle.
  • Mutual rotation between the housing and the handle may be prevented for instance by providing a peg on one opposing surface and a slot parallel to the axis within which the peg can slide.
  • the trigger attached to the housing is for gripping of the housing and preferably comprises a ring for a finger grip.
  • the compensating sleeve is preferably provided with screw threads in its inner wall which threadedly engage cooperating means, preferably a screw thread on the outside of a pusher which passes through the sleeve.
  • the sleeve preferably has screw threads in its outer wall, which threadedly engage co-operating means on the inner wall of the housing.
  • the co-operating means may be a screw thread or a peg which slides in the helical screw thread on the compensating sleeve.
  • the combination of the present invention allows retention of the stent during deployment so that its position can be adjusted prior to full expansion and so that the stent can be withdrawn back into the deployment device if an operator decides that its current location is not appropriate.
  • the deployment device allows deployment of a stent from inside the sleeve from one stent end. As the sleeve is withdrawn towards the other end of the stent, that other end is moved in the opposite direction by the core whereby the change in axial length upon deployment is compensated to minimise movement of the deployed end of the stent against the inner wall of the vessel in which the stent is being deployed.
  • the degree of compensation is preset by reference to the expected axial shortening of the stent in the vessel into which implantation is desired.
  • the deployment device is preferably for use with a stent formed of braided counter rotating helical filaments, preferably with at least 8 filaments being wound in each direction, of which at least some of the filaments are welded at or near the stent ends at crossover points, whereby blobs of resolidified welded material are formed at welded crossover points. These blobs form a general thickening of the walls.
  • a stent of this type is described further in our co-pending application no. PCT/GB96/02689.
  • the gripper which holds the stent between the sleeve and the core should prevent axial movement of the stent end relative to the core at least in the direction in which the sleeve moves during deployment.
  • the gripper may comprise a circumferential slot around the external periphery of the core having axially directed shoulders for engaging the blobs of welded material at the stent end.
  • the space between the sleeve and the core inboard (with respect to the stent) from the slot is large enough to house the stent in its radially compressed form, but not large enough for the blobs of material at the welded stent end.
  • the sleeve is preferably provided with a lubricious internal wall whereby the sleeve can slide relative to the stent.
  • the sleeve may be of the rolling membrane type as described in US-A-4 , 732 , 152 so that sliding of the sleeve relative to the stent is unnecessary. With such membranes, however retraction of a partially deployed stent is difficult or impossible.
  • the proximal end of the device may have a visual or mechanical indication of the extent of deployment beyond which retraction is no longer possible.
  • the indication is a mechanical step which stops relative movement of the handle and housing beyond that extent of deployment.
  • the step should be releasable to allow further relative movement beyond the said extent and allow complete withdrawal of the stent from the sleeve and full deployment.
  • the core may extend just beyond the proximal end of the stent. Preferably however it extends through the inside of the stent up to and optionally beyond the distal end.
  • the core has an inner lumen through which a guide wire may pass where the core extends through the whole stent, snagging of the guide wire on the internal wall of the stent during surgery is prevented.
  • the deployment device may be used by being delivered "over the wire” or as a rapid exchange type device.
  • An over the wire device has a guide wire lumen extending along the whole length of the device, axially through the stent at the distal end and out at the proximal end.
  • the pusher and core are formed of a single inner tube the inner lumen of such a tube may conveniently form the guide wire lumen.
  • the guide wire exits through the proximal end wall of the handle.
  • a device for use in a rapid exchange system has a shorter guide wire lumen extending through the stent and exiting the device proximally of the stent retention section.
  • the exit from the device must allow for this sliding and thus comprises an axial slot in at least one of the inner and outer catheter tubes, co-operating with a hole or a slot in the other.
  • Means for allowing a guidewire to be threaded through the lumen and out of the exit should be provided for instance as a plug with an appropriately shaped surface for directing the guide wire end located in the lumen of the inner catheter of the exit.
  • the device may be provided with radiopaque markers for visualisation during deployment.
  • the core may have a marker level with the second end of the stent, which thus moves during deployment with the second stent end (last to be deployed) .
  • a marker is provided level with the first end of the stent in the delivery conformation, which can thus be positioned at the desired location in a blood vessel.
  • the stent to be delivered may have radiopaque markers at each end and/or at an intermediate position along its length.
  • the present invention provides also a combination of a deployment device and a braided stent loaded in the device for deployment, as well as a method in which the device is used to deploy a braided stent.
  • the stent has been described with reference to a prosthesis for holding open a blood vessel, it may also be a vascular graft, for repairing damages or leaky vessels, or may be an oesophageal dilator, or a urethral stent.
