Definitions

  • the present invention relates to expandable endoprosthesis devices, generally called stents, that are adapted to be implanted into a patient's body lumen, such as a blood vessel, to maintain the patency thereof.
  • stents that are adapted to be implanted into a patient's body lumen, such as a blood vessel, to maintain the patency thereof.
  • the invention relates to metallic stents formed from a composite structure comprising discrete layers of super elastic or shape memory alloys and biocompatible, malleable alloys.
  • Stents are generally cylindrically shaped devices that function to hold open and sometimes expand a segment of a blood vessel or other anatomical lumen. Stents particularly are suitable for use to support and hold back a dissected arterial lining which can occlude the fluid passageway therethrough, or to maintain the patency of a portion of a blood vessel that has been subjected to an angioplasty procedure.
  • a variety of devices are known in the art for use as stents and have included coiled wires, slotted tubes, and adjacently connected cylindrical elements in a variety of patterns that are expanded after being placed intraluminaly on a balloon catheter; helically-wound coiled springs manufactured from a thermally expandable metal; and self-expanding stents inserted in a compressed state and subsequently allowed to expand at the intraluminal target site by withdrawing the compressive force, such as provided by an overlying sheath.
  • a stent structure that is longitudinally flexible to easily traverse the tortuous pathways of the human vasculature and which can be readily and uniformly expanded, but that will resist permanent deformation due to the compressive forces exerted by the body lumen itself or by external forces on the body lumen once the stent is deployed and expanded. Resistance to permanent deformation can be especially desirable, for example, in stents deployed within a patient's carotid artery, where a stent may be subjected to additional forces generated by the patient's head and neck movements, or by the pillow, arm, or other head rest used by the patient when sleeping, or by blows to the patient's neck or head.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,749,880 to Banas et al. discloses a stent-graft comprising a tubular stent structure with openings through its wall surfaces to permit radial expansion and circumferentially adjacent layers of polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) covering the inner and outer wall surfaces of the stent.
  • ePTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
  • the ePTFE coverings are sintered to the tubular stent to bond around and through the wall surfaces of the tubular stent.
  • the ePTFE coverings expand as well to prevent exposing the stent to body tissue or fluids.
  • the goal of this stent therefore is to enhance the biocompatibility of the stent rather than to enhance its mechanical properties.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,725,570 to Heath discloses tubular prostheses that are woven from a filament consisting of a metal outer layer with an exposed outer surface and an inner core comprised of a different material than the outer layer.
  • the outer layer is selected from superelastic alloys such as nickel-titanium (nitinol) or stainless steel, and the core is a high density, radiopaque metal such as tantalum.
  • Stents formed from such a filament are said to exhibit substantially the elasticity properties of a solid nitinol filament, but with higher radiopacity.
  • such a filament does not impart increased structural strength to the filament, and does not alleviate problems associated with woven wire stents such as lower than desirable crush resistance.
  • the filament experiences a wide range of tension and compression as it is bent during weaving and placement of the stent, as well as during use. These forces are experienced to different degrees by the inner core and the outer layer and could be a potential source of failure due to the different responses exhibited by the dissimilar metals in the core and in the outer layer.
  • Another type of device is, for example, disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,769,882 to Fogarty et al, and comprises essentially a tubular prosthesis body with an overlying sealing layer to provide a fluid-tight seal between the exterior surface of the prosthesis and the inner wall of the body lumen.
  • the tubular body is disclosed as being comprised of two or more different materials, such as organic polymers and metallic elements, to provide different characteristics to the body, such as shape memory, drug delivery, bioabsorbability, and radiopaqueness.
  • the specification discloses that such different materials can be incorporated in a variety of ways, such as different interwoven helices and braids, and include tantalum, nitinol, polyester, and PTFE. Again, this type of device appears limited to woven structures, and is directed to structures wherein the individual filaments are comprised of a single homogeneous material. Further, this type of device does not appear to address the goal of increased structural strength.
  • the present invention addresses the above-mentioned needs by providing a tubular stent structure manufactured from a metallic tube comprising one or more layers of a biocompatible, malleable material co-drawn with, or compression fit onto, one or more layers of a superelastic, or shape memory alloy, material.
  • the stent is manufactured by forming various patterns into the wall of the tube to create radially expandable, interconnected elements. The patterns may be formed by various methods, such as laser cutting, mechanical grinding or chemical etching, or a combination of these methods.
  • the stent is introduced into the vasculature of the patient and deployed at the target site using well-known balloon angioplasty techniques.
  • the stent Once expanded, the stent exhibits, due to the malleable material layer, structural strength and crush resistance to support the vascular wall and to maintain the patency of the vessel.
  • the stent additionally exhibits enhanced resistance to permanent deformation due to the superelastic material layer that proceeds to spring back to a predetermined expanded size and shape whenever subjected to a compressive force.
  • a stent formed according to the method of the present invention provides an axially flexible structure that, when expanded, offers radial strength and superior resistance to permanent deformation.
  • the stent is manufactured economically using known methods and materials, and comprises a significant improvement to the long-term safety of stents and stent-like devices.
  • FIGURE 1 is a cross-sectional view depicting a tube for making a stent according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view depicting a flattened section of a stent pattern made according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view depicting a flattened section of an alternative embodiment stent pattern made according to the present invention.
  • a cylindrical tube 10 is comprised of a co-drawn outer layer 30 and an inner layer 32.
  • the embodiment of the cylindrical tube 10 shown in FIG. 1 is drawn in a cylindrical configuration with an inner lumen 40 defined by an inner exposed surface 34 of the inner layer 32 and extending axially through the tube 10.
  • the inner layer 32 may be disposed within the outer layer 30 by a variety of methods.
  • a preferred method entails co-drawing the inner layer and the outer layer, resulting in a tight, continuous interface 36 between the inner and the outer layer. Details of the co-drawing process may be found in, for instance, Volume 14: Forming and Forging of the Metals Handbook®. Ninth Edition. Copyright 1988 by ASM International.
  • An alternative method involves compression fitting the outer layer onto the inner layer, such as by disposing the inner layer on a fitted mandrel of a preselected shape for support, sliding the outer layer over the inner layer, and subjecting the assembly comprised of the two layers to a compressive force sufficient to collapse the two layers over the mandrel to assume the shape of the mandrel, following which the tubular body thus formed by the two layers can be removed from the mandrel and further processed as described elsewhere in the disclosure.
  • the outer layer 30 preferably is formed from a malleable metallic material that exhibits sufficient strength when expanded to maintain the patency of the vessel wall.
  • a preferred material for the outer layer is stainless steel, which is well suited for intravascular applications due to its biocompatibility and structural strength.
  • Other materials that may be employed in forming the outer layer include cobalt, platinum, iridium, gold, magnesium, titanium, tantalum, and platinum-iridium alloys.
  • the inner layer 32 is formed from an elastic metallic material that will spring back to its original size and shape whenever subjected to a deforming force.
  • the inner layer may therefore be manufactured from spring steel or from alloys exhibiting superelastic or shape memory properties. Articles manufactured from such alloys may be deformed from their original shape into a different configuration that is heat unstable, and upon the application of heat will revert to the original configuration.
  • Certain shape memory alloys including superelastic nickel-titanium (NiTi) (nitinol) or copper-zinc-aluminum (CuZnAl) alloys that are well known in the art, can be deformed through the application of stress to the article of manufacture and will revert to their original shape upon removal of the stress in a phenomenon generally referred to as stress induced martensite (SIM), thereby eliminating the need for alternately cooling and heating the article.
  • SIM shape memory alloys that are stressed at temperatures between where the alloy first begins to transform from austenite to martensite, and the maximum temperature at which martensite can occur, deform elastically up to a critical stress and then continue to deform through the formation of SIM.
  • a SIM shape memory alloy selected for making the inner layer 32 be one that reverts back to austenite at the typical human body temperature of about 36.7 °C (98 °F ).
  • Other materials suitable for forming the inner layer 32 include copper-tin, copper-zinc, copper-zinc-tin, copper-zinc-xenon, copper-aluminum-nickel, copper-gold- zinc, gold-cadmium, gold-copper-zinc, iron beryllium (Fe 3 Be), iron platinum (Fe 3 Pt), indium-thallium, iron-manganese, iron-nickel-titanium-cobalt, nickel-titanium-vanadium, and silver-cadmium.
  • Examples of superelastic and shape memory alloys are found in U.S. Patent No. 4,035,007 to Harrison et al., U.S. Patent No.
  • the final stent is manufactured by cutting out a pattern through the outer and inner layers to form radially expandable elements 50 connected to adjacent elements by interconnecting members 52. Numerous patterns may be cut into the body 10 to form an expandable stent, and FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of such a pattern.
