Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved construction of an endoluminal stent, such devices being used for example, to hold open blood vessels dilated by angioplasty, particularly blood vessels having a higher flow, such as the iliac arteries.
- endoluminal stent devices may be deployed elsewhere in the mammalian body (usually human) for example, along the length of the gut, the bile duct, the pancreatic duct or the urethra.
- Such devices usually comprise a tubular cage structure which is inserted collapsed into a blood vessel, or other tubular structure, and thereafter expanded using a balloon catheter or using the self-expanding properties of the alloy from which it is constructed, for example.
- Stent devices having an open lattice structure are used normally with the lattices providing for expansion of the stent after insertion.
- a disadvantage of such constructions, however, is that the interstices allow for smooth muscle cell growth to invade through the stent, thus once again blocking the lumen.
- One of the objects of this invention is to provide an endoluminal stent giving an improved blood flow and longer in situ therapeutic life.
- a further and preferred object of this invention is to provide a stent which is capable of delivering a therapeutic agent or agents over a period of time.
- an agent might be directed specifically at preventing the growth of smooth
- an endoluminal stent having a rigid or semi-rigid, preferably metallic,
- outer expandable preferably a porous or semi-porous, absorbent or fabric
- the linings, within and without, may or may not in themselves be covered
- bio-polymer carrier medium for example, collagen or gelatin and may be a
- an endoluminal stent comprising a preferably metallic self-supporting core with a plurality of regularly or irregularly extending slits or cuts running longitudinally along the core whereby the core may be expanded such that the slits open up to define the interstices with preferably an outer covering of an expandable material provided over the core and an internal expandable lining within the core, one or other or both of said coverings or linings being capable of both part-retaining and permitting diffusion of a therapeutic agent or agents held therein retained in the slits or interstices of the core, preferably incorporated or held within a biologically inert, biodegradable bio-polymer.
- the construction according to a first aspect of this invention thus provides for a covering and lining of a fabric material to be provided preferably on both external and internal surfaces of the stent, thus preventing external intrusion through the interstices of the rigid core as well as improving blood flow through the internal passage formed by the core.
- the therapeutic agent or agents may be carried, for example, by means of an impregnated collagen sponge or gel film or the like which may form an additional layer preferably enclosed on both sides by the coverings or linings.
- Other carriers may be used to hold the therapeutic agent or agents.
- Figure 1 shows in side elevation a stent with a part of the core and the outer covering removed for clarity
- Figure 2 shows an end elevation of the stent shown in Figure 1.
- the endoluminal stent of this invention includes a core 1 of stainless steel or an alloy such as nitinol which has an expandable capability. The construction is such that after assisted or self-expansion, the core is sufficiently rigid to support the vessel into which it is inserted.
- the core 1 is shown here in a partially expanded state. Interstices or the spaces between the metal parts are here referenced 1a.
- the core 1 has an outer covering 2 of a material such as Dacron or PTFE. Where Dacron material is used, this may be coated on a single surface or both surfaces with an agent or agents such as collagen or gelatin, in order to decrease the material porosity and enhance incorporation into surrounding tissues. This coating in itself may in turn be bonded with or incorporate a therapeutic agent or agents such as Heparin or an antibiotic.
- a material such as Dacron or PTFE.
- the core 1 includes a lining 3 of a similar or other material to the outer covering layer. Where Dacron material is used, this may be coated on a single surface or both surfaces with an agent or agents such as collagen or gelatin, in order to decrease the material porosity and enhance incorporation
- This coating in itself may in turn be bonded with or
- a therapeutic agent or agents such as Heparin or an antibiotic.
- the outer covering layer may be connected with the inner lining layer at
- the covering and lining may also be any other means.
- the covering and lining may also be any other means.
- therapeutic agent or agents may be diffused over a period of time into the
- the material used to cover the metallic stent core should have certain properties
- outer covering 2 and lining 3 may be bonded by
- the bonding agent or agents itself may incorporate a required therapeutic agents.
- This invention also contemplates a method of treatment of the body and particularly any blood vessel or other tubular or elongate structure, for example a urethra or bile duct or other part of the gastro-intestine tract or uro-genital tract, which comprises the insertion of an endoluminal stent substantially as hereinbefore disclosed with the stent device incorporating means for retention of a therapeutic agent or agents, the agent or agents being effective on an ongoing basis following insertion of the stent.
- an endoluminal stent substantially as described and disclosed herein for the purpose of administering a therapeutic agent or agents to the flow of blood through a vessel in a mammalian body or other tubular or elongate structure, for example a urethra or bile duct or other part of the gastro-intestine tract or uro- genital tract.
