Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of medical devices and more particularly to devices for introduction of vascular devices into the body of a human or animal.
  • endovascular implantable devices have been developed for treatment of aortic aneurysm. These devices are delivered to the treatment site through the vascular system of the patient rather than by open surgery.
  • the devices include a tubular or cylindrical framework or scaffolding of one or more stents to which is secured a tubular shape of graft material such as woven Dacron, polyester polytetrafluoroethylene or the like.
  • the devices are initially reduced to a small diameter, placed into the leading or proximal end of a catheter delivery system whereafter the delivery system is inserted into the vascular system of the patient such as through a femoral incision. The leading end of the delivery system is manoeuvred to the treatment site over a previously positioned guide wire.
  • the implantable device is then deployed by holding the device at its location and drawing a surrounding sheath.
  • the stent graft or implantable device can then self expand or is expanded through the use of a balloon which is introduced with the stent graft introducible device.
  • the stent graft becomes anchored into position to healthy wall tissue in the aorta such as by barbs whereafter the delivery system is then removed leaving the device in position for reversing an aneurysm in the aorta.
  • All blood flow is channelled through the stent graft so that no blood flow enters the aneurysm thereafter, such that not only does the aneurysm no longer continue to grow and possibly rupture but the aneurysm actually begins to shrink and commonly disappears entirely.
  • an implantable device which is essentially a tube is deployed in the thoracic arch by first releasing the proximal end, that is the end nearer the heart, then blood flow could inflate the stent graft in the manner of a wind sock and there will be considerable pressure of blood flowto displace the implantable device from its intended position.

  • a stent graft delivery system 1 has a distal end 3 which in use is intended to remain outside a patient and a proximal end 5 which is introduced into the patient.
  • a handle arrangement 7 which includes trigger wire release apparatus 9 as will be discussed later.
  • the main body of the deployment device includes a tubular carrier 11 which extends from the handle 7 to a distal retention arrangement general shown as 13.
  • a guide wire catheter 15 extends out through the distal retention arrangement 13 and extends to a nose cone dilator 17 atthe proximal end of the deployment device 1.
  • the nose cone dilator 17 is curved and in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 the guide wire catheter 15 is also curved towards its proximal end so that the proximal end 5 of the deployment device has a curve which may have a radius of curvature 19 of between 70 to 150 millimetres. This curvature enables the stent graft deployment device of the present invention to be introduced into the thoracic arch of a patient without excessive load being placed on the walls of the aorta.
  • a stent graft 21 is retained on the deployment device between the distal end 23 of the nose cone dilator 17 and the distal retention arrangement 13.
  • a sleeve 25 fits over the tubular carrier 11 and by operation of a sleeve manipulator 27 the sleeve can be extended forward to extend to the nose cone dilator 17.
  • the stent graft 21 can be held in a constrained position within the sleeve.
  • a proximal retention arrangement 31 is provided at the proximal end of the stent graft just distal of the distal end 23 of the nose cone dilator 17 .
  • the proximal retention arrangement 31 includes a trigger wire 33 which engages a knot 35 of suture material which is fastened to the trigger wire 33 and the guide wire catheter 15.
  • the nose cone dilator 17 can have one or more apertures extending longitudinally, and the proximal trigger wire 33 can extend into one of these apertures.
  • the distal retention arrangement 13 as shown in detail in Fig. 4 includes a capsule 40 which is part of a capsule assembly 41 which is joined by a screw thread 43 to the proximal end 42 of the central carrier 11.
  • the capsule 40 includes a passageway 44 within it with a distal closed end 46 and an open proximal end 48.
  • the open proximal end 48 faces the nose cone dilator 17 and the guide wire catheter 15 passes through the center of passageway 44.
  • the stent graft 21 has a distally extending exposed stent 48 and this distally extending exposed stent 48 is received within the capsule 40 which holds it constrained during deployment. If the distally extending exposed stent 48 has barbs extending from its struts then the capsule keeps the barbs from prematurely engaging the walls of the vessel it is being deployed in and also prevents them from catching in the sleeve 25.
  • a trigger wire 50 passes through aperture 52 in the side of the capsule, engages a loop of the exposed stent 48 within the capsule and then passes along the annular recess 54 between the guide wire catheter 15 and the tubular carrier 11 to the trigger wire release mechanism 9.
  • the trigger wire release mechanism 9 includes a distal release mechanism 56 and a proximal end release mechanism 58.
  • the sleeve 25 is withdrawn by pulling back on the sleeve manipulator 27 while holding the handle 7 stationary.
  • the distal release mechanism 56 on the handle 7 is then released by loosening the thumb screw 60 and completely withdrawing the distal release mechanism 56 which pulls out the trigger wire 50 from the capsule 40.
  • Pin vice 62 which fixes the position of the guide wire catheter with aspect to the handle 7 and central carrier 11 is then loosened so that the guide wire catheter 15 can be held stationary which holds the nose cone dilator and hence the proximal retention arrangement 31 stationary while the handle is pulled back to remove the capsule 40 from the exposed stent 48 which releases the distal end of the stent graft.
  • the proximal release mechanism 58 can then be removed by release of the thumb screw 64 and complete removal of the proximal release mechanism 58 which pulls the guide wire 33 from the proximal end of the stent graft which releases the suture knot 35 which releases the proximal end of the stent graft.
  • FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of nose cone dilator.
  • the guide wire catheter 15 is substantially straight and the curved proximal end of the deployment device has a curvature only in the region of the nose cone dilator 66.
  • the radius of curvature of this nose cone dilator may be in the range of 100 to 150 millimetres and it can have a length of from 80 mm as shown by 66a up to 100 mm as shown by 66.
