Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to medical devices, specifically to an annuloplasty ring and related procedure for surgically reconstructing and molding the mitral valve annulus of a patient's heart. More specifically, this invention relates to a mitral valve repair device and corresponding technique that involve over-correcting defects in the mitral valve annulus so as to remodel the left- ventricular geometric relationship.
- CHF Congestive heart failure
- MR Secondaiy mitral regurgitation
- MR a complication of end-stage cardiomyopathy
- CHF and end-stage heart disease it is only applicable to a small percentage of patients because of the small number of available donor hearts and surgical risks for weaker patients. Accordingly, alternative medical and surgical strategies are evolving to treat such conditions.
- the mitral annulus 20 represents the junction of the fibrous and muscular tissue that joins the left atrium LA and left ventricle LV.
- the average human mitral annular cross-sectional area is 5-11 cm 2 .
- the mitral valve is a bicuspid valve having a large posterior leaflet 22 that coapts or meets with a smaller anterior leaflet 24.
- the anterior aspect 26 of the annulus which is in continuity with the fibrous skeleton of the heart, has limited flexibility, whereas the posterior aspect 28 of the annulus, which is not attached to any rigid surrounding structures, has more flexibility.
- the mitral annulus 20 lies generally in a datum plane 30 (Fig.
- aortic valve 34 at an angle with respect to a datum plane 32 in which the aortic valve 34 is generally oriented.
- These datum planes 30, 32 can be defined as being perpendicular to the average blood flow through the respective valves.
- the mitral annulus 20 assumes a generally elliptical shape as shown in Fig. IB, and is able to contract and decrease in diameter, whereas, in diastole, it assumes a more circular shape and opens to permit blood to fill the left ventricle LV.
- Annular flexibility allows for increased leaflet coaptation during systole and increased annular orifice area during diastole.
- MR In MR, dilation typically occurs along the more flexible posterior aspect 28 of the annulus, as seen in Figs.2A and 2B. Some patients experiencing a drop h of the posterior aspect 28 of the mitral valve annulus, as seen in Fig. 2A, and consequent relaxation of the posterior muscle wall 36 of the left ventricle LV. Fig. 2B illustrates the lengthening of the anterior-posterior dimension 38 and subsequent loss of coaptation between the posterior and anterior leaflets 22, 24. MR leads to a cycle of continuing volume overload of the already dilated left ventricle LV, progression of annular dilation, increased left ventricle wall tension, increasing degrees of MR and worsening CHF.
- the regurgitant volume ejected into the left atrium LA is dependent upon mitral orifice size, ventricular/atrial pressure gradient and heart rate.
- the regurgitant flow into the left atrium LA increases left atrial pressure, which leads to atrial enlargement and an increase in compliance, and decreases forward systemic flow.
- Left atrial pressures rise during systole and decline in diastole.
- Figs. 3A and 3B illustrate the use of a Carpentier-Edwards PHYSIO annuloplasty ring 40 to restore the original healthy shape of the mitral annulus 20.
- the ring 40 is typically semi-rigid and planar and restores the primary anterior- posterior dimension 38' of the mitral annulus 20.
- Annuloplasty rings have also been developed in various shapes and configurations over the years in an effort to correct MR and other conditions which reduce the functioning of the valve.
- Carpentier, et al. in U.S. Patent No. 4,055,861 disclosed two semi-rigid supports for heart valves, one of which being closed (or D-shaped) and the other being open (or C-shaped). In the closed configuration, the ring is generally flat about an anterior-posterior plane, and has a convex posterior side and a generally straight anterior side.
- U.S. Patent Nos. 5,104,407, 5,201,880, and 5,607,471 disclose closed annuloplasty rings that are bowed slightly upward on their anterior side.
- the anterior aspect 26 of the mitral annulus is fibrous and thus relatively inflexible (at least in comparison to the posterior aspect 28), the upward curve in the anterior side of each ring conforms the ring more closely to the anatomical contour of the mitral annulus, and thus reduces undue deformation of the annulus.
- the present invention provides a number of annuloplasty rings for implantation in a mitral valve annulus that correct both the annulus and help mitigate the effects of congestive heart failure.
- the invention provides an annuloplasty ring that has a generally oval-shaped ring body defining an anterior portion, a posterior portion opposite the anterior portion, right and left sides between the anterior and posterior portions, and transition segments between the sides and the posterior portion.
- the ring body is oriented about a central axis having an upward direction and a downward direction, the downward direction corresponding to the direction of blood flow through the mitral valve annulus.
- the ring has, in plan view perpendicular to the central axis, a longer dimension along a major axis than a shorter dimension along a minor axis, and the posterior portion rises upward from the adjacent transition segments to an axial position higher than the highest axial position of the anterior portion.
- the posterior portion extends radially inward from the adjacent transition segments to a radial position along the minor axis that is closer to the central axis than an imaginary posterior projection in plan view of the sides toward each other.
- the posterior portion extends radially inward from the adj acent transition segments to a radial position that is about 30-50% closer to the central axis than the imaginary posterior projection of the sides toward each other.
- the ring is substantially saddle-shaped with the sides curving upward between the anterior portion and adjacent transition segments.
- the right and left sides may rise to axial positions above the highest axial position of the anterior portion.
- the posterior portion rises upward from the adjacent transition segments to an axial position approximately equal to or above the highest axial positions of the right and left sides.
- the ring may be generally planar except for the posterior portion which rises to an elevated axial position.
- the sides and transition segments are generally curvilinear and the junctures between adjacent sides and transition segments are generally rounded.
- the posterior portion desirably also extends radially inward from the adjacent sides to a radial position along the minor axis that is closer (preferably about 30-50% closer) to the central axis than an imaginary posterior projection in plan view of the sides toward each other.
- the ring body is preferably comprised of a material having a high modulus of elasticity that will substantially resist distortion when subjected to the stress imparted thereon when the ring is implanted in the mitral valve annulus of an operating human heart.
- the ring can be comprised of a ceramic material such as Stellite, titanium, Elgiloy, graphite, ceramic, hardened plastics, composite, or Nitinol ® materials.
- the annuloplasty ring may further comprise an outer sewing sheath surrounding the ring body, the sewing sheath being formed of a material that will permit the passage of sutures therethrough for securing to ring to a mitral annulus.
- the present invention also provides a mitral annuloplasty ring comprising a ring body made of a material having a high modulus of elasticity that will substantially resist distortion when subjected to the stress imparted thereon when the ring is implanted in the mitral valve annulus of an operating human heart.
- the ring body is oriented about a central axis having an upward direction and a downward direction corresponding to the direction of blood flow through the mitral valve annulus, and has a posterior bow that extends both radially inward and axially upward.
- ring body has an anterior portion, a posterior portion opposite the anterior portion, right and left sides between the anterior and posterior portions, and transition segments between the sides and the posterior portion.
- the ring body may be substantially saddle-shaped with the sides curving upward between the anterior portion and adjacent transition segments.
- a mid-section of the posterior portion bows upward from the adjacent transition segments to an axial position higher than the highest axial position of either of the right or left sides.
- the right and left sides each may rise upward from the adjacent transition segments to an axial position above the highest axial position of the posterior portion.

- CHF congestive heart failure
- MR secondary mitral regurgitation
- the ring when implanted not only modifies the circumference of the mitral annulus as do existing annuloplasty rings, but it also elevates and/or reconfigures the posterior portion of the mitral annulus so as to mold and re-shape the geometry of the left ventricle.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B a first exemplary mitral annuloplasty ring 50 of the present invention is shown implanted in the mitral annulus 20.
- the posterior aspect 28 of the mitral annulus rises axially upward by a distance z from the datum plane 32 of the annulus when healthy.
- the anterior-posterior dimension 38 of the mitral annulus has been reduced by the annuloplasty ring 50.
- These two corrections to the mitral annulus are accomplished by a specially shaped posterior portion 52 of the annuloplasty ring 50, and because the ring is made relatively rigid.
- the left ventricular wall 36 is molded and re-shaped, which helps mitigate some of the effects of CHF.
- the degree to which a mid-section of the posterior portion 52 rises depends on multiple variables including specific patient pathology and the overall ring size, but it is projected that for applications in most adult sized hearts the preferable rise will be about 3-5 millimeters.
- this configuration is not intended to follow the natural curvature of the mitral annulus. Rather, when the annuloplasty ring 50 is implanted in a mitral annulus, the "over-correcting" upward curvature of the ring 50 imparts a unique shape to the annulus that has the effect of molding and reshaping both the mitral annulus and the left ventricle. It is believed that this molding and reshaping of the geometry of the left ventricle will reduce the severity of CHF which in turn will reduce strain on the mitral valve and corresponding MR (and vice versa). In other words, this ring provides an annular solution to address ventricular pathology.
- FIG. 5 illustrates orthogonal axes wherein the Z-axis lies along of the axis of blood flow through the ring when implanted, and the X- and Y-axes generally define the datum plane 32 as mentioned above.
- the positive Z direction illustrated in Figure 5 is the "upward” direction
- the negative Z direction is the "downward” direction
- the ring is designed to be implanted in a mitral annulus such that blood will flow in the downward direction.
- the X-axis extends across the ring in the anterior- posterior direction illustrating a minor axis dimension 54.
- the X-axis typically lies in a plane of symmetry of the ring 50 such that the left side and right side are identical.
- the Y-axis extends across the long dimension of the ring 50 such that a major axis dimension 56 is defined.
- the ratio of the minor axis dimension 54 to the major axis dimension 56 is about 3:4.
- such a ring configuration may be considered oval or elliptical.
- the annuloplasty ring 50 includes the specially shaped posterior portion 52, an anterior portion 60, and a pair of generally symmetric side portions 62a, 62b. As can be seen from the perspective of Fig. 5, two relatively sharply curved transition segments 64a, 64b join either side of the posterior portion 52 to the side portions 62a, 62b.
- Fig. 6B shows that the transition segments 64a, 64b are located at the lowest points about the ring 50 when in its "horizontal" orientation over an X-Y reference plane 70.
- a mid-section of the shaped posterior portion 52 arcs upward between the transition segments 64a, 64b and has its highest point on the X-Z plane.
- the two side portions 62a, 62b arc gently upward from the respective transition segments 64a, 64b and then gradually curve downward into a blended transition with the anterior portion 60.
- the anterior portion 60 exhibits a slight upward bow centered along the X-Z plane, and preferably rises to the same height as the shaped posterior portion 52.
- the overall contour of ring 50 around its periphery is undulating or serpentine. If a three-dimensional surface were drawn across the open middle of the ring to conform as much as possible to the periphery of the ring 50, that surface would be somewhat saddle-shaped with upward bows along the Y-Z and X-Z planes.
- the extent of upward curvature for the ride and left side portions 62a, 62b may reach as high, or higher, than that of the posterior portion 52, but do not necessarily need to extend this high. This too will depend on multiple factors including patient pathology.
- the difference in elevation between the shaped posterior portion 52 and the adjacent transition segments 64a, 64b is shown at ZA in Fig. 6B.
- the subscript "A" refers to the point A around the ring 50 periphery as indicated in Fig. 6A.
- the midpoint of the anterior portion 60 is denoted at B, while the points along the side portions 62a, 62b that lie on the Y-Z plane are denoted at C.
- the lowest points in the transition segments 64a, 64b are denoted at D, while lowest points along the anterior portion 60 are denoted at E.
- the elevational at each of these points is represented as ZA, Z B , Z , ZQ, and z E . It should be noted also that the elevations are as measured to the bottom of the ring 50, although the thickness of the ring means that the overall height is somewhat greater.
- z D is at zero.
- Z A may be substantially greater than either z B or Zc
- Z B is desirably larger than zc.
- Figures 5-6C also illustrate a second aspect of the present invention, namely that a mid-section of the posterior portion 52 extends inward to a radial position that is closer to the central axis than if the right and left side portions 62a, 62b projected smoothly toward one another. This too results in a reshaping effect on the mitral annulus, which in turn reshapes the left ventricle geometry.
- a phantom projection or extension 72 of the two side portions 62a, 62b is indicated. This arcuate imaginary extension 72 has been drawn to illustrate the inward bow of the shaped posterior portion 52.
- the posterior portion 52 diverges inward from this imaginary ring projection, which represents conventional oval-shaped rings of the prior art. o Specifically, the posterior portion 52 bows inward at point A a distance indicated as A. AS with the axial correction noted above, the degree to which the posterior portion 52 extends inward will depend on multiple variables, but it is preferable that the im e ⁇ nost position of the posterior side be about 30-50% closer to the central axis than the arcuate imaginary extension 72. Of course, the distance A 5 varies depending on the overall size of the ring 50.
- the posterior portion 52 causes the posterior portion 28 of the mitral annulus 20 to elevate above the datum plane 32 the distance z.
- This shift in the mitral annulus 28 0 places the left ventricular wall 36 in greater tension than nonnal and helps re-shape and recondition that wall to help rectify the detrimental effects of CHF.
- the ring 50 elevate the posterior portion 28 of the mitral annulus 20, but it also pulls that side of the annulus radially inward, as indicated in Fig. 4B.
- the anterior-posterior dimension 38" is shown reduced from its normal 5 dimension (the normal dimension is essentially represented in Fig. 3B as 38').
- Figs. 7A and 7B show front and side elevational views of an alternative annuloplasty ring 100 of the present invention that shares some of features of the annuloplasty ring 50 described above.
- the overall contour of ring 100 bows upward along the Y-Z plane as indicated in Fig. 7B, and a mid-section of a posterior portion 102 is both upwardly (see Fig. 7 A) and inwardly (see Fig. 7B) displaced from an imaginary continuation of the side portions of the ring.
- the ring 100 does not have a serpentine configuration as with the earlier-described ring 50, instead the profile from the front lies generally in a single arc with the posterior portion 102 elevated relatively suddenly therefrom.
- Fig. 7B shows that the middle segment 104 of the anterior side of the ring also bows inwardly from the adjacent sides to a radial position along the X-axis that is closer to the central axis than an imaginary anterior projection in plan view of the adjacent sides toward each other.
- the inward curve of the anterior segment 104 further reduces the dimension of the repaired annulus in the anterior-posterior plane, and contributes to pulling the posterior aspect of the annulus inward and at the same time conditioning the left ventricular wall.
- Figs. 8A-8C illustrate a generally planar annuloplasty ring 110 of the present invention having an anterior portion 112, an opposing posterior portion 114, and left and right sides 116a, 116b.
- a mid-section of a posterior portion 114 is substantially the same as the posterior portion 102 in Figs. 7A and 7B such that it bows inward and upward.
- the anterior portion 112 bows inwardly, although the entire periphery of the ring 110 except for the posterior portion 114 lies in a plane.
- Figs. 9A-9D illustrate an alternative annuloplasty ring 130 of the present invention that, as viewed in plan view in Fig. 9B, is symmetric both about the X-Z plane and the Y-Z plane.
- the ring 130 is not symmetric in elevation, as seen in Figs. 9C and 9D, wherein a mid-section of a posterior portion 132 rises upward and curves inward.
- the entire ring 130 lies in a plane except for the posterior portion 132.
- the particular configuration of the posterior portion 132 helps re-shape the mitral annulus and recondition the left ventricular wall.
- an anterior portion 132 also bows inward to help reduce the size of the mitral annulus in the anterior-posterior direction.
- bows inward refers to the diversion of the particular portion from an imaginary curve that would continue the oval peripheral plan view of the ring.
- Figs. 10A-10D show another ring 150 the present invention that is nearly identical to the ring shown in Figs. 9A-9D, except for a posterior portion 152.
- a mid-section of the posterior portion 152 rises at sharp transitions 154 from the rest of the ring 150 which is planar.
- a short upward segment 156 connects a middle, inwardly curved segment 158 to each of the transitions 154.
- This embodiment of the ring 150 thus illustrates that specially shaped portions around the periphery do not necessarily have to join with the remainder of the ring in gentle blended curves.
- Figs. 11A-11C are plan, front elevational, and side elevational views, respectively, of a still further annuloplasty ring 170 that is generally oval-shaped about a major axis 172 and a minor axis 174.
- the points A, B, C, D and E are located in the same places as described above with respect to Fig. 6A-6C.
- a mid- section 176 of a posterior portion of the ring 170 bows upward and inward.
- the elevation ZA above a datum plane 178 is seen in Fig. 1 IB, while the magnitude of inward bow A is seen in Fig. 11 A.
- the sides 180a, 180b also bow upward a distance zc as indicated in Fig. 11 B .
- an anterior portion 182 bows upward a distance Z B and inward a distance X ⁇ .
- the mid- section 176 forms a plateau 184 in the Z-direction centered about the minor axis 174 and having a dimension y as seen in Fig. 1 IB.
- the dimension y is desirably about 2 mm.
- This plateau 184 helps prevent ldnking of a tubular fabric or other suture-permeable covering over the posterior portion because of the greater upward and inward bow in comparison to other rings described herein.
- Exemplary dimensions for a 28 mm ring 170 include the following relations: 0 ⁇ z B ⁇ ZA, and preferably,
- ZA about 7 mm.
- the inward bow A is desirably about 40% of the distance along the minor axis from point B to point I regardless of the ring size.
- Point I is the location of the mid-point of an imaginary posterior projection in plan view of the sides 180a, 180b toward each other.
- the anterior inward bow B is desirably about 1 mm.
- the ideal degree to which the posterior and/or anterior sides are molded inward and upward according this invention depend on multiple factors. Preferably however, these features will be exaggerated to an extent that the mifral annulus is "over-corrected.”
- a important factor of this invention is that the mitral annulus not be just repaired to its natural, pre-diseased state, but that the annulus actually be reduced past that point to an extent that will significantly affect the geometry of the left ventricle.
- the annuloplasty rings herein are desirably made of a single inner member as illustrated, covered with a suture-permeable outer layer.
- the annuloplasty ring of the present invention must be quite stiff. It must substantially retain its shape in opposition to the stresses that will be imparted by muscles of the heart through out each beating cycle. Accordingly, this ring must be made from a material having a relatively high modulus of elasticity.
- the inner member as shown may be machined or molded of Stellite, polished, and then covered with a polyterapthalate fabric. Alternatively, an intermediate silicone sleeve around the inner member may be used.
- Stellite provides a desired rigidity to best facilitate reshaping of the annulus and left ventricle, although more commonly used materials such as titanium, Elgiloy, graphite, ceramic, hardened plastics, or Nitinol ® may be substituted.
- the ring also preferably includes an outer sewing sheath that permits it to be sutured into the mitral annulus.
- the sewing sheath should be sufficiently porous and/or flexible to permit sutures to be passed therethrough, but it must not be so flexible as to counteract the stiffness requirements discussed above. Because the ring will be under such loads, it will also be necessary to insert more sutures in the sewing sheath than for more flexible rings (to reduce the loads on individual sutures). For example, if traditional rings require in the neighborhood of 8 to 10 stitches around the circumference, the present annuloplasty ring might require as many as 20-30 or more. It will be understood by those of skill in the art that the embodiments described above can be incorporated individually or in combination.
- each aspect will have the desired effect of and reshaping the mitral annulus and left ventricle, it is the re-shaping of the posterior side that will have the greatest effect of molding and re-shaping the left ventricle.
- the aspect of extending the anterior side radially inward will preferably not be used unless the posterior side has also been configured as described herein.
