Definitions
- This invention relates generally to implantable devices for interventional therapeutic treatment or vascular surgery, and more particularly concerns a stretch resistant therapeutic device such as an embolic or vasoocclusive coil and an apparatus for release and deployment of the stretch resistant therapeutic device within a patient's vasculature.
- One specific field of interventional therapy that has been able to advantageously use recent developments in technology is the treatment of neurovascular defects.
- treatment of vascular defects in the human brain which were previously untreatable or represented unacceptable risks via conventional surgery have become amenable to treatment.
- One type of non-surgical therapy that has become advantageous for the treatment of defects in the neurovasculature has been the placement by way of a catheter of vasoocclusive devices such as embolic coils in a damaged portion of a vein or artery.
- Vasoocclusive devices are therapeutic devices that are placed within the vasculature of the human body, typically via a catheter, to form an embolus to block the flow of blood through a vessel making up that portion of the vasculature, or within an aneurysm stemming from the vessel.
- the vasoocclusive devices can take a variety of configurations, and are generally formed of one or more elements that are larger in the deployed configuration than when they are within the delivery catheter prior to placement.
- One widely used vasoocclusive device is a helical wire coil having a deployed configuration which may be dimensioned to engage the walls of the vessels.
- vasoocclusive device that forms itself into a shape of an anatomical cavity such as an aneurysm and is made of a pre-formed strand of flexible material that can be a nickel-titanium alloy is known from U.S. Patent No. 5,645,558, which is specifically incorporated by reference herein.
- That vasoocclusive device comprises one or more vasoocclusive members wound to form a generally spherical or ovoid shape in a relaxed state.
- the vasoocclusive members can be a helically wound coil or a co-woven braid formed of a biocompatible material, and the device is sized and shaped to fit within a vascular cavity or vesicle, such as for treatment of an aneurysm or fistula.
- the vasoocclusive member can be first helically wound or braided in a generally linear fashion, and is then wound around an appropriately shaped mandrel or form, and heat treated to retain the shape after removal from the heating form.
- Radiopacity can be provided in the vasoocclusive members by weaving in synthetic or natural fibers filled with powdered radiopaque material, such as powdered tantalum, powdered tungsten, powdered bismuth oxide or powdered barium sulfate.
- powdered radiopaque material such as powdered tantalum, powdered tungsten, powdered bismuth oxide or powdered barium sulfate.
- vasoocclusive devices can be accomplished by a variety of means, including via a catheter through which the device is pushed by a pusher to deploy the device.
- the vasoocclusive devices which can have a primary shape of a coil of wire that is then formed into a more complex secondary shape, can be produced in such a way that they will pass through the lumen of a catheter in a linear shape and take on a complex shape as originally formed after being deployed into the area of interest, such as an aneurysm.
- a variety of detachment mechanisms to release the device from a pusher have been developed and are known in the art.
- Vasoocclusive coils made of platinum, gold, and other ductile materials will easily deform from their coil shape under tension, causing a potentially dangerous situation when the coil is partially in an aneurysm and partially stretched in the delivery catheter. If it is determined that the coil is improperly placed, or is too large, the coil will need to be moved or replaced. However, at this stage of the procedure, the coil can no longer be pushed, and must be slowly retracted out of the catheter as a wire. If during this procedure the coil breaks, an additional procedure must be performed to remove the coil extending out of the aneurysm.
- vasoocclusive coils It would be desirable to reinforce such vasoocclusive coils to provide stretch resistance to the coils to reduce the risk of the coils breaking, particularly during withdrawal of a coil for relocation or replacement, in order to provide a safety factor during retraction of soft or otherwise easily stretchable coils. It would also be desirable to minimize the increase of stiffness caused by reinforcement of the coils after the coils are released in deployment of the coils in an aneurysm so that the coils can freely transform to a desired secondary shape and conform to the dimensions of the location being treated.
- the present invention meets these and other needs.
- the present invention provides for a stretch resistant therapeutic device for release and deployment within a patient's vasculature, and an apparatus for release and deployment of the stretch resistant therapeutic device within a patient's vasculature, in which the therapeutic device is a vasoocclusive coil reinforced with an inner stretch resistant member to provide stretch resistance to the coil.
- the therapeutic device is a vasoocclusive coil reinforced with an inner stretch resistant member to provide stretch resistance to the coil.
- the incorporation of an inner stretch resistant member may also allow the coil to be pushed even when such a coil is partially deployed, to improve safety during retraction of the coil.
- the vasoocclusive coil may be coated with one or more therapeutic agents, which may include a hydrogel.
- the vasoocclusive coil is reinforced by an inner stretch resistant member that is fixedly attached at one end at or near a distal end of the vasoocclusive coil, and that is detachably mounted at the other end of the vasoocclusive coil to an elongated pusher member to allow for placement and release of the vasoocclusive coil within the patient's vasculature. Attachment of the inner stretch resistant member toward or at the distal end of the vasoocclusive coil without connection of the inner stretch resistant member to the other end of the vasoocclusive coil minimizes the increase of stiffness caused by reinforcement of the coil after the coil is released for deployment. An additional advantage is that the coil is free floating on the proximal end over the inner stretch resistant member.
- the inner stretch resistant member can be used to enhance radiopacity, aid in secondary shape configurations, and can be configured to aid desired stiffness of the coil, and can allow a softer coil to be used without stretching of the coil.
- the present invention accordingly provides for a stretch resistant therapeutic device for release and deployment within a patient's vasculature.
- the therapeutic device includes a vasoocclusive coil defining a lumen between proximal and distal ends of the coil, and a stretch resistant member extending through the lumen of the vasoocclusive coil.
- the stretch resistant member is fixedly attached at a first end toward a distal end of the vasoocclusive coil, and is detachably mountable at a second end to an elongated pusher member to allow for placement of the vasoocclusive coil within the patient's vasculature.
- the stretch resistant member may be formed as a ribbon, wire, braid, primary wind, or stranded material, and may be formed from fiber, plastic or other polymer such as an ethylene-octene copolymer, polypropylene, or polyethylene, or a metal or metal alloy, such as a nickel-titanium alloy, for example, or a metal which is radiopaque, such as platinum, for example.
- the stretch resistant member When the stretch resistant member is formed from a fiber such as an ethylene-octene copolymer, polypropylene, or polyethylene, a portion of the coil at or near the distal end of the coil may be attached to one end of the stretch resistant member by an adhesive or by heating of the end of the fiber.
- the stretch resistant member when the stretch resistant member is formed of a polymer such as an ethylene-octene copolymer, polypropylene, or polyethylene, the stretch resistant member may also be severable by application of heat energy to the stretch resistant member.
- the present invention also provides for an apparatus for release and deployment of the stretch resistant therapeutic device within a patient's vasculature.
- the therapeutic device includes a vasoocclusive coil defining a lumen between proximal and distal ends of the therapeutic device.
- the therapeutic device may be detachably mounted to the distal end of the pusher member, for example, by at least one loop of fiber material, by a displaced coil at the proximal end of the vasoocclusive coil, or by a loop attached at the proximal end of the therapeutic device as a socket.
- the therapeutic device may by deployed mechanically or by injection.
- the stretch resistant member is detachably mounted to the distal end of the elongated pusher member, and means are provided for detaching the stretch resistant member from the distal end of the elongated pusher member.
- a connector fiber attached to the pusher member detachably mounts the therapeutic device to the pusher member for placement of the therapeutic device within the vasculature, and means are provided for severing the connector fiber to cause the connector fiber to release the therapeutic device for deploying the therapeutic device from the pusher member when a desired placement of the therapeutic device within the vasculature is achieved.
- the means for severing the connector fiber may include an electrical resistance heater wire or coil, when the connector fiber is formed from a thermoplastic material, such as polyethylene, for example.
- the stretch resistant member is formed of a polymer such as an ethylene-octene copolymer, polypropylene, or polyethylene, the stretch resistant member can also be severed by the means for severing in the same manner.
- the proximal end of the therapeutic device includes a distal therapeutic portion and a proximal stem portion, and the proximal stem portion includes at least one rounded member.
- a body of constraining material is mounted to the distal end of the elongated pusher member, with the body of constraining material having a stressed configuration engaging the at least one rounded member of the stem proximal portion of the therapeutic device and a recovered configuration withdrawn from the at least one rounded member of the proximal stem portion of the therapeutic device.
- the body of constraining material may have a tubular cross-section forming a tubular collar extending from its proximal end to its distal end.
- the body of constraining material may be formed of a polymer such as polyurethane, or a nickel titanium alloy, for example.

- While the deployment of therapeutic devices has typically been accomplished by using a pusher member to push such a coil through a catheter, and a variety of detachment mechanisms to release the device from a pusher have been used, such coils are typically made of ductile materials that easily deform from their coil shape once released or partially released from the delivery catheter, so that the coils can no longer be pushed, and withdrawing of the coils back through the catheter can result in breakage of the coils.
- the present invention provides stretch resistance to such therapeutic devices to reduce the risk of the coils breaking during withdrawal of a coil for relocation or replacement.
- the present invention also minimizes the increase of stiffness caused by reinforcement of the coils when the coils are deployed so that the coils can freely transform to a desired secondary shape and conform to the dimensions of the target area.
- the invention is embodied in a stretch resistant therapeutic device such as a vasoocclusive or embolic coil 10 for release and deployment within a patient's vasculature.
- the vasoocclusive coil has a proximal end 12 and a distal end 14, and a lumen 16 extending between the proximal and distal ends.
- the vasoocclusive coil may be formed from a variety of materials including, but not limited to, one or more strands of a metal or metal alloy such as stainless steel or a nickel-titanium alloy, which may include a radiopaque strand, made of platinum, tungsten or gold, in order to serve as a marker, polymeric material such as a shape memory polymer, for example, and coils coated with one or more therapeutic agents, such as one or more human growth modulating factors such as interleukins, transformation growth factor b, congeners of platelet derived growth factor, and monoclonal antibodies directed against growth factors, drugs, drug producing cells, cell regeneration factors, progenitor cells of the same type as those from the aneurysm, and progenitor cells that are histologically different from those of the aneurysm, to accelerate the healing process.
- a metal or metal alloy such as stainless steel or a nickel-titanium alloy
- a radiopaque strand made of platinum, tungsten or gold
- the coil may also be coated with a hydrogel, such as one or more hydrogels selected from organic gels and inorganic gels, and which may be combined with one or more of the therapeutic agents described above.
- Organic gels from which the hydrogel can be selected include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, gels formed from polysaccharides and mucopolysaccharides including, but not limited to hyaluronic acid, dextran, heparin sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, heparin, agar, starch, and alginate; polyaminoacids; proteins that support cell growth and healing, including but not limited to fibronectin, gelatin, collagen, fibrin, pectins, albumin, ovalbumin, and polyamino acids; collagen-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate (HEMA); polyphosphazines; polyphosphoesters; polyethylene glycol; polyethylene oxide; polyvinyl alcohol; polyvinylpyrrolidone;

- Collagen-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate (HEMA) hydrogel polymer is commonly formed from a gelled and crosslinked hydrophilic monomer solution to form a three dimensional polymeric meshwork anchoring macromolecules.
- Crosslinking of the hydrophilic monomer solution can be accomplished by free radical polymerization of hydrophilic monomers, such as hydroxyethyl- methacrylate (HEMA).
- Hydrogel polymers formed by free radical polymerization of monomer solutions require crosslinking to form the three dimensional network to gel the aqueous solution.
- HEMA monomer solutions typically can be crosslinked to gel by dimethacrylate, although other crosslinking agents, such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate or methylmethacrylate, can also be used during polymerization to modify the hydrogel.
- crosslinking agents such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate or methylmethacrylate
- hydrophilic monomers may also be suitable.
- Inorganic gels from which the hydrogel can be selected include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, silica, alumina, and ferric oxide.
- an adhesive can be introduced via a catheter to initially help seal the neck of an aneurysm, and can be selected from the group consisting of cyanoacrylates, gelatin/resorcinol/formol, mussel adhesive protein and autologous fibrinogen adhesive.
- the hydrogel of the invention can be of a type that dissolves over time or one that remains as a permanent occlusive agent within the aneurysm.
- a radiopaque material may be incorporated into the hydrogel as fine particles of a selected radiopaque metal, such as gold or platinum.
- a stretch resistant member 18 extends through the lumen of the vasoocclusive coil, and has a first or distal end 20 and a second or proximal end 22, with the first or distal end of the stretch resistant member fixedly attached to the vasoocclusive coil.
- the stretch resistant member and/or coil is detachably mounted at the second or proximal end to an elongated pusher member 24, to allow for placement of the vasoocclusive coil within the patient's vasculature.
- the stretch resistant member may be formed as a ribbon, wire, braid, primary wind, or stranded material, and may be formed from fiber, plastic or other polymer such as an ethylene-octene copolymer, polypropylene, or polyethylene, or a metal or metal alloy, which may be a radiopaque metal, such as platinum, for example.
