Definitions

  • the invention relates to a surgical shunt.
  • Carotid endarterectomy is the term given to the surgical treatment to remove plaque build up on the carotid artery, usually at the bifurcation between the common carotid artery and it's two distal vessels, the internal carotid and external carotid arteries.
  • the surgical intervention entails making an incision in the neck and exposing the carotid artery. A cut is then made in the artery itself and the vessel is clamped distally and proximally. A bypass shunt is often used to maintain blood flow to the brain during the procedure. The bypassed section of the artery is then carefully exposed and the atheroma is removed, usually with a layer of mtima attached.
  • emboli which are carried by the bloodstream into the distal cranial vasculature where they can block vessels and result in either temporary or permanent reduction of the blood supply.
  • AAA Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
  • AAA is surgical.
  • a surgical graft is sutured into position inside the aorta providing an internal bypass to the defect.
  • a complication associated with the procedure is that of particulate matter being carried into the lower limbs sometimes resulting in the loss of blood supply to the area. Amputation of the limb may be required in some instances. The present invention can be used to prevent this occurrence.
  • WO 98/24377 A describes a shunt for maintaining distal blood flow during an anteriomy procedure.
  • a second tubular member is attached to the shunt through which a blood filter device is delivered.
  • the filter is deployed downstream of the shunt.
  • the filter must be withdrawn before the shunt is removed. This may result in the release of embolic material which is not filtered.
  • WO 98/24377 A describes an arrangement in which a separate introducer is used downstream of the shunt through which a filter is inserted and withdrawn. However, this complicates the procedure as additional steps and associated equipment are required.
  • This invention is therefore directed towards providing a shunt which will allow a filter to remain deployed within a vessel throughout the shunting procedure.
  • a surgical shunt comprising: -
  • tubular shunt body having a bore with a proximal end and a distal section extending distally of the bore, the distal section having a distal end;
  • the entry port having an external proximal section and an internal distal end communicating with the distal section of the bore;
  • the medical device mounting system having a distal portion and a proximal portion, the external proximal portion of the mounting system lying substantially external of the bore;
  • the length of the external proximal portion of the mounting system being greater than the sum of the length of the entry port and the length of the distal section of the shunt bore for removal of the distal section of the shunt body while maintaining the medical device in situ.
  • the mounting system comprises a medical guidewire.
  • the mounting system includes a catheter for delivery and/ or retrieval of the medical device, the guidewire being extendable through the catheter.
  • the medical device is an embohc protection device.
  • the embolic protection device comprises a filter body having;
  • proximal inlet section and a distal outlet section
  • proximal inlet section including inlet openings which are operable to admit blood and embolic material when the filter is in the second expanded configuration
  • outlet openings disposed on at least a portion of the filter body adjacent to the distal outlet section, the outlet openings being sized to allow through passage of blood but to retain undesired embolic material within the filter body.
  • the filter body is mounted on the guidewire.
  • the shunt includes a retrieval catheter, the guidewire being shdably movable through the catheter having a pod at a distal end thereof for reception of the filter element in a collapsed state.
  • the pod is expandable.
  • the pod has a resiliently deformable sidewall.
  • the pod comprises radially spaced-apart reinforcing legs covered in an elastic material.
  • the embolic protection device comprises a filter body and a delivery system for delivery and/ or withdrawal of the filter body, the filter body having a proximal end and a distal end and being movable between an elongate collapsed delivery and/or withdrawal configuration and a deployed expanded position, the delivery system comprising an elongate guide, a distal end of the filter being mounted on the guide and the proximal end of the filter body being mounted on an actuator, the actuator being movable relative to the guide for movement of the filter body between the collapsed and deployed position.
  • the filter element is remotely actuatable by sliding a rod inside a tube such that the ends of the filter are moved apart to achieve a low radial profile for positing the filter and are moved towards each other to deploy the filter.
  • the actuator comprises a tube which is slidable over the guide for movement of the filter body between the collapsed and deployed configurations.
  • the guide is an elongate guidewire.
  • the port is angled on the body to direct the medical device towards the distal outlet end of the body.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un pontage chirurgical (1) comprenant un corps tubulaire (2) présentant une lumière (3) intérieure et un orifice compris entre les extrémités (4, 5) du corps (2) et servant à la mise en place d'un dispositif médical tel qu'un filtre (16) rétractable de protection contre les emboles porté par un fil guide (17). Le filtre (16), placé en aval du pontage (1), sert à capturer le matériel embolique libéré lors d'un acte chirurgical. La longueur de la partie proximale externe d'un système de montage est supérieure à la somme des longueurs de l'orifice d'entrée (9) et de la section distale de la lumière (3). On peut retirer entièrement le pontage tout en laissant en place le filtre (16) de protection contre le matériel embolique libéré lors du retrait du pontage.
