Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to medical devices and methods and more particularly to implantable devices for occluding the lumens of blood vessels or other luminal anatomical structures and their methods of use.
  • Implantable embolic devices are used to occlude the lumens of blood vessels or other anatomical conduits of the body. Such embolic devices have been used for a variety of therapeutic purposes. For example, certain procedures known as PICVATM and PICABTM are being developed by TransVascular, Inc. of Menlo Park, California. These procedures utilize native veins as in situ bypass conduits for diseased arteries. In such procedures, it is typically desirable to place at least one embolic blocker in the lumen of the vein into which arterial blood has been routed to in such procedures , including blocking of blood flow in veins into which arterial blood has been routed to facilitate the intended flow of arterial blood through the vein in a direction opposite normal venous flow.
  • embolic devices of the prior art may be useable to effectively block flow though some blood vessels or other body conduits, are remains a need in the art for the development of new implantable embolic devices and methods for catheter based, transluminal delivery and implantation of such devices.
  • the present invention provides an implantable embolic device for blocking the flow of body fluid through an anatomical conduit that has a wall and a lumen (e.g., blood vessel, duct, passageway, respiratory passage, bronchus, lymphatic, iatrogenically created channel or opening, shunt, etc.).
  • the implantable embolic device comprises a generally tubular, radially expandable frame member and a flexible occluder member attached to the frame member.
  • the flexible occluder member may be formed of any suitable material, such as expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), that is generally in the form of a tube having an open first end and a substantially closed second end.
  • ePTFE expanded polytetrafluoroethylene
  • the open first end of the flexible occluder member is affixed (or otherwise held in abutment with) to the frame member.
  • the device is initially disposed in a first radially collapsed configuration wherein it may be transluminally advanced into the lumen of the anatomical conduit in which it is to be implanted. Thereafter, the device is expandable to a second radially expanded configuration wherein it will engage the wall of the anatomical conduit such that the closed end of the flexible member will substantially block the flow of body fluid through the lumen of the anatomical conduit.
  • the frame member may be self-expanding or pressure expandable and may be formed of any suitable material, such as metal or plastic.
  • the frame is formed of a nickel titanium alloy that is superelastic at normal body temperature of 37°C.
  • the flexible occluder member may have an opening (e.g., a small hole or self-sealing opening) formed in its closed end. A catheter, guidewire or other object may be passed through such opening. Where the opening is self-sealing, the opening will resume a substantially closed configuration after such catheter guidewire or other object is removed, such that no body fluid or no more than a clinically insignificant amount of body fluid will leak though such opening. In other embodiments the opening may simply be so small in size that it the amount of body fluid that leaks through such opening is not clinically significant or does not defeat the intended embolic function of the device.
  • the flexible occluder member may cover a portion of the frame adjacent its first end while a portion of the frame adjacent its second end remains uncovered.
  • Such partially covered embodiment of the device may be implanted in the lumen of a blood vessel or other body conduit such that pressure of body fluid distal to the first end of the frame is greater than the pressure of body fluid proximal to the second end of the frame. This serves to ensure that at least the uncovered portion of the frame will remain in firm frictional engagement even if the pressure of body fluid creates some gap or space between the covered portion of the frame and the adjacent wall of the anatomical conduit. Also, in self expanding embodiments, such partial covering of the frame will allow the uncovered portion of the frame to remain expandable without being constrained or restricted by the flexible covering.

  • the pressure of body fluid within the lumen L of the anatomical conduit AC, distal to the implanted device 10, is greater than the pressure within the lumen L proximal to the implanted device.

  • any body fluid that seeps from the gap 50 past the distal portion of the device 10 will pas through the openings in the uncovered frame 12 and will not result in disruption of the contact between the proximal portion 52 of the device 10 and the surrounding anatomical conduit wall. This helps to deter any migration or movement of the implanted device 10.

  • the embolic device 10 of the present invention causes rapid or substantially instantaneous occlusion of the vessel lumen and does not rely on changes that must occur over time, as may be the case with other approaches like glues and implantable occlusion coils.
  • a single embolic device 10 serves to occlude a vessel lumen whereas a number of coils or multiple applications of glue could be required in some cases.
  • the over-the-wire, balloon expandable version of this device 10 does not become "free-floating" in the blood stream. The physician retains control over the device 10 either via the delivery catheter 10 or guidewire, if deployed.
  • This approach provides a high degree of control over position of the embolic device 10 and occupies only a short length of occluded vessel as opposed to certain types of occlusion coils that may create a mass several centimeters long within a blood vessel. Also, the device 10 provides permanent occlusion of the anatomical conduit and does not tend to recannalize overtime as may occur with some other occlusion techniques.
