Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to an occlusion device for the closure of physical anomalies like septal apertures, such as patent foramen ovale and other septal and vascular defects.
- a patent foramen ovale illustrated in FIG. 1, is a persistent, oneway, usually flap-like opening in the wall between the right atrium 11 and left atrium 13 of the heart 10. Because left atrial (LA) pressure is normally higher than right atrial (RA) pressure, the flap usually stays closed. Under certain conditions, however, right atrial pressure can exceed left atrial pressure, creating the possibility that blood could pass from the right atrium 11 to the left atrium 13 and blood clots could enter the systemic circulation. It is desirable that this circumstance be eliminated.
- LA left atrial
- RA right atrial
- the foramen ovale serves a desired purpose when a fetus is gestating in utero. Because blood is oxygenated through the umbilical chord, and not through the developing lungs, the circulatory system of a heart in a fetus allows the blood to flow through the foramen ovale as a physiologic conduit for right-to-left shunting. After birth, with the establishment of pulmonary circulation, the increased left atrial blood flow and pressure results in functional closure of the foramen ovale. This functional closure is subsequently followed by anatomical closure of the two over-lapping layers of tissue: septum primum 14 and septum secundum 16. However, a PFO has been shown to persist in a number of adults.
- This description discloses several techniques for catching or locking an implant in a desired shape.
- This technique relates particularly to, but is not limited to, a septal occluder made from a polymer tube. These techniques, in addition to use with septal occluders, could be applied to other medical devices, such as other expandable devices constructed from an underlying tubular structure.

- the described embodiments are catching mechanisms for securing a septal occluder in an expanded, deployed configuration.
- This description sets forth a number of catching mechanisms, many of which can be grouped for convenience (and not in a limiting manner) based on a particular characteristic or set of characteristics as follows:
- I) Internal Interference Catches include a catching member disposed inside of a joint of the implant.
- the catching member has an interference feature such that one piece engages a joint to impede movement with respect to that joint.
- External Interference Catches include a catching member disposed outside of a joint of the implant.
- the catching member has an interference feature that engages the joint to impede movement with respect to the joint.
- Stick Anchor Catches include a stick portion that rotates with respect to the longitudinal axis of the occluder. When the stick is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, the stick can pass relatively unimpeded through an occluder joint. When the stick rotates to be substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the stick cannot pass through the joint because the length of the stick is larger than the inside diameter of the j oint.
- V) Catch Within the Occlusion Member includes adhesive or other securing material as part of the occluder structure.
- V ⁇ ) End Cap Catch includes an end cap that fixedly attaches to one or both ends of the occluder and engages a catching member to hold the occluder in a caught, deployed position.
- Miscellaneous Catches includes catches that do not fall in the previous seven categories.
- the embodiments in the first group are called internal interference catches.
- catching members that pass through a center joint of an implant along a longitadinal axis.
- This type of catching member has a section or sections with a larger outside diameter (OD) than the inside diameter (ED) of the implant, so the catching member can engage the implant in one of several ways, such as: (a) the section of the catching member with a larger OD compresses during the catching process as the catching member passes through the implant, and/or (b) the implant ID increases during the catching process as the catching member passes through the implant.
- a proximal tip of the catching member passes through the implant device, the dimensions of both the device and the implant return to more or less their original state, thereby "catching" the implant.
- Another option is that the catching member or part of the implant can deform temporarily to allow the catching member to pass through.
- FIG. lb illustrates one type of septal occluder that may be caught using catching mechanisms described herein.
- an occluder 20 in a deployed position has a distal (left atrial) side 22 and a proximal side 24, each with four petals.
- the catching mechanism 30 has a distal ball 32, a proximal ball 34, and a rod 36 connecting balls 32 and 34. Balls 32, 34 and rod 36 can each have a central bore (not shown) to allow catching mechanism 30 to be delivered with occluder 20 over a guide wire.
- Other types of occluders for example, those with petals having solid or mesh surfaces, or those with tissue scaffolds may also be used.
- FIG. lc is a side view showing occluder 20 with left atrial side 22 and a right atrial side 24, each in contact with septum secundum 16 and septum primum 14.
- the catching mechanism is shown with a delivery wire 40 and sheath 42 in a connected position before the delivery wire 40 would be detached from ball 34.
- FIGS. 2a through 2f show embodiments of an internal interference catching member 100 having a longitudinal split 102 and anchor barbs 104 for engaging an occluder joint.
- the catching member 100 is fixedly attached at one end to one of the occluder joints (either the proximal joint 106, the center joint 108, or the distal joint 110).
- the catching member may include multiple longitudinal splits with multiple barbs. For example, a pair of longitudinal splits can be used to produce four barbs. Other split barb combinations may also be used.
- the occluder includes a first catching member 100a fixedly attached to the proximal joint 106, and a second catching member 100b fixedly attached to the center joint 108.
- FIG. 2a shows the occluder in an open, released configuration. In order to catch the occluder, the barbs 104 of the first catching member 100a pass through and engage the center joint 108, and the barbs 104 of the second catching member 100b pass through and engage the distal joint 110.
- the barbs 104 for the first catching member are oriented in a manner that is offset, and preferably orthogonal, with respect to the barbs 104 for the second catching member 100b to allow the barbs 104 of the first catching member 100a to pass through the longitudinal slot in the second catching member 100b when the barbs 104 of the first catching member engage the center joint 108.
- the delivery system may need to include a releasable connection or movable stop for coupling to or contact with distal joint 110 and/or center joint 108 to hold them in place as the respective catching members are pushed through.
- FIG. 2b shows a perspective view of an occluder of the general type shown in FIG. lb with a first catching member 100a fixedly attached to the proximal joint 106, and a second catching member 100b fixedly attached to the distal joint 110.
- the barbs 104 of the first catching member 100a and the second catching member 100b both engage the center joint 108.
- the occluder includes a first catching member 100a and a second catching member 100b, both fixedly attached to the center joint 108. When caught, the barbs 104 of the first and second catching members 100a, 100b pass through and engage the center joint 108.
- FIG. 2d which can be essentially a mirror image of FIG. 2a, the occluder includes a first catching member 100a fixedly attached to the center joint 108, and a second catching member 100b fixedly attached to the distal joint 110. When caught, the barbs 104 of the first catching member 100a pass through and engage the proximal joint 106, and the second catching member 100b pass through and engage the center joint 108.
- FIGS. 2a, 2b, and 2c note the offset relationship, preferably orthogonal, between the barbs 104 of the first catching member 100a and the barbs 104 of the second catching member 100b.
- the occluder includes a first catching member 100a fixedly attached to the proximal joint 106.
- the barbs 104 of the first catching member 100a pass through the center joint 108 and the distal joint 110, and engage the distal joint 110.
- FIG. 2e shows the first catching member 100a with a split running only partially along the longitudinal length of the catching member.
- the split in the catching member may run along the entire length of the catching member, or only along a portion of its length.
- the occluder includes a first catching member 100a fixedly attached to the distal joint 110.
- the device can be caught by pulling on a delivery wire 105 that is releasably connected to joint 110 or the catching member 100, while holding joint 106, for example, with a delivery catheter (not shown).
- the barbs 104 of the first catching member 100a pass through the center joint 108 and the proximal joint 106, and engage the proximal joint 106.
- FIG. 2g shows the occluder in the closed and caught position. In this case unlike some other embodiments, there is one set of barbs.
- FIG. 2h shows one way to release the occluder of the type shown in FIG. 2f.
- a hollow tube 111 with a bevel 112 along the inside diameter at the distal tip of the tube 111 is applied to the barbs 104 of the catching member 100a as shown.
- the bevel 112 applies pressure to the barbs 104 so as to drive them together towards the longitudinal center axis of the catching member 100a, until the outside diameter of the barbs is smaller than the inside diameter of the proximal joint 106.
- the barbs 104 can pass back through the proximal joint 106, thereby releasing the occluder.
- the device is therefore released from the same direction from which it is delivered.
- FIGS. 2i and 2j show perspective views of alternative embodiments of the catching mechanism of the type described in conjunction with FIG. 2a.
- the catching mechanism of FIGS. 2i and 2j includes a third catching member with a third barb, and additional ones could be added if desired.
- FIG. 3 shows a catching mechanism 114 including a shape memory material (e.g., nitinol wire) that is designed to form hooked ends 116 when deployed in a caught position.
- the distal ends 118 of the catching mechanism 114 are fixedly attached to the distal joint 110. While deploying the occluder, the catching mechanism 114 has parallel proximal ends in its martensite form. Once the occluder is fully deployed, the proximal ends of the catching mechanism 114 pass through the proximal joint 106 and revert to austenite in the body to form the hooked ends 116 and engage the proximal joint 106.
- a shape memory material e.g., nitinol wire
- the orientation of this embodiment may also be reversed, i.e., the hooked ends of the catching mechanism may be on the distal end, rather than the proximal end, with the proximal end of the catching mechanism fixedly attached to the proximal joint.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate two alternate forms of an internal interference catch, namely, a ball catch 120 and a conical catch 122.
- FIG. 4 shows the occluder in an released position
- FIG. 5 shows the occluder in a caught position.
- the conical catch 122 is forced through the center joint 108 and then through the proximal joint 106.
- the smaller outer diameter near the proximal end of the conical catch 122 facilitates passage through the center joint 108 and the proximal joint 106, but once through a center joint, the larger outside diameter of the distal end of the conical catch 122 impedes passage back through the center joint.
- FIGS. 6a and 6b show a threaded catching mechanism that mates with mutaal threads on the inside diameter of the center joint.
- a threaded bolt 124 extends toward the distal joint 110 from the proximal joint. The bolt is turned, such as with a slot in the head, to cause the bolt to mate with a threaded opening in the distal joint. As with the embodiment in FIG. 2a, it may be desirable to have a releasable connection or a stop to distal joint 110 to hold it in place.
- a wire with a hook or barb could extend down a bore (not shown) along the longitadinal axis of the bolt 124, and have a bend at the end when extending through the bore to serve as a hooking stop; it would be pulled back after the device is caught.
- a bolt can have its head at the distal end, and a threaded collar can be formed within the proximal joint 106.
- a device similar to that shown in FIG. 6a can have threads over a greater length such that the bolt can be screwed until joints 106 and 108 are close together or in contact and the bolt starts to engage threads at the distal joint 110.
- FIG. 7 shows a catching mechanism that engages a center joint via a barb/ridged-surface interface (similar to a "tie wrap").
- FIG. 7 shows the barb 127 on the inside wall of the center joint, and the ridges 129 on the catching mechanism. In other embodiments, this orientation may be switched.
- An internal interference catching mechanism may utilize a combination of two or more of the mechanisms shown in FIGS. 2 through 7.
- FIG. 8 shows an occluder with a ball and string catching mechanism.
- the distal ball 130 engages the distal joint 110
- the proximal ball 132 is disposed along the delivery string 134 between the distal joint 110 and the center joint 108.
- FIGS. 9 through 12 show the delivery sequence for the ball and string catching mechanism of FIG. 8.
- a shown in FIG. 9, the distal portion of the occluder is deployed from the delivery sheath 136 on the left atrial side of the PFO.
- FIG. 10 shows the proximal ball 132 pulled through the center joint 108, thereby catching the distal portion of the occluder.
- FIG. 11 shows the proximal portion of the occluder deployed from the delivery sheath 136 on the right atrial side of the PFO.
- FIG. 12 shows the proximal ball 132 pulled through the proximal joint 106, thereby catching the proximal portion of the occluder. Detaching wire 134 from ball 132 is the step remaining to complete the delivery of the occluder in the PFO.
- FIGS. 13 through 15 show a recovery sequence for removing an occluder, such as that delivered in the manner shown in FIGS. 9 through 12.
- FIG. 13 shows the delivery sheath 126 disposed against the proximal end of the occluder.
- Wire 134 has been pulled with sufficient force to pull ball 130 through the distal joint 110 thereby allowing the distal side of the occluder to start to return toward a tabular shape.
- FIG. 14 shows the distal ball 130 further pulled through the center joint 108, and up against the proximal joint 106, so the right atrial side starts to lose its compressive force.
- FIG. 13 shows the delivery sheath 126 disposed against the proximal end of the occluder.
- Wire 134 has been pulled with sufficient force to pull ball 130 through the distal joint 110 thereby allowing the distal side of the occluder to start to return toward a tabular shape.
- FIG. 14 shows the distal ball 130 further pulled through the center joint 108, and
- FIG. 15 shows the released occluder after it has been retracted back into the delivery sheath and out of the PFO by advancing the sheath, retracting the device, or some combination of these motions.
- Another method for recovering the device is using a method similar to that shown in provisional application no. 60/569,203, filed May 7, 2004, which is incorporated herein by reference. In that method, a set of claws is used to grip and pull the device, starting with the proximal joint.
- FIGS. 16 through 19 show an occluder with a staggered barb catching mechanism.
- This embodiment uses a pair of barbs, either one of which can pass relatively unimpeded through a center joint.
- the two barbs When the two barbs are aligned along the longitadinal axis (i.e., no longer staggered), they form a catching mechanism with a combined outside diameter that is greater than the inside diameter of the center joint, so as to impede passage through the center joint.
- FIG. 16 shows another embodiment that includes a first catching member
- the first catching member 140 is fixedly attached at its distal end to an end cap 148.
- the second catching member 144 passes through the end cap 148 so that the second catching member 144 can slide longitudinally through the end cap 148.
- the first barb 142 and the second barb 146 are attached to one another with a delivery string 150 (or delivery shaft, or other similar delivery mechanism), and are longitudinally staggered as shown.
- a delivery wire 151 is shown with a releasable connection 153, which can be a ball with a set of grappling hooks. The ball is also rigidly connected to string 150.
- the operator pulls the delivery string so that the proximal side 157 of the device stops against the delivery sheath 152 as shown in FIG. 17.
- the first barb 142 passes through the center joint 108, followed by the second barb 146.
- the first barb passes through the proximal joint 106, followed by the second barb 146, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19.
- the string detaches from the first barb 142 and pulls the second barb through the proximal joint 106 until the distal stop 147 makes contact against the end cap 148 and the second barb 146 passes completely through the proximal joint 106 as shown in FIG. 19.
- the first barb 142 and the second barb 146 are now longitudinally coincident, and the combined outside diameter of the two side-by-side barbs is greater than the inside diameter of the proximal joint 106, which prevents the barbs from passing back through the proximal joint 106 in the distal direction.
- delivery is completed by releasing releasable connection 153 by unscrewing, opening hooks, or some other process of detaching.
- FIG. 20 shows an occluder with yet another type of internal interference catching mechanism, referred to as an "arrowhead" catch.
- the catching member 160 includes an end cap 162 fixedly attached to the distal joint 110, and one or more catching barbs 164 at the proximal end of the catching member 160.
- the catching barbs 164 are angled back in the distal direction, and are flexible to be deformable toward the longitadinal axis of the catching member 160.
- a delivery shaft 166 attaches to catching member 160 through a releasable connection, such as a claw 167 and a ball 168.
- the claw 167 grasps a ball 168 (or similar protrusion) on the catching barbs 164.
- the releasable connection may alternatively be implemented by other mechanisms, for example by a threaded end of shaft 166 and threads in catching member 160.
- the operator pulls the delivery shaft 166 until the proximal side of the device stops against the delivery sheath 168.
- the center joint causes the catching barbs 164 to deform toward the longitudinal axis of the catching member, allowing the barbs 164 to pass through the center joint 108, and subsequently through the proximal joint 106.
- the barbs open back to their original, relaxed position. The shape of the barbs 164 prevents the catching barbs 164 and catching member 160 from passing back through the proximal joint 106, as shown in FIG. 21.
- the operator grasps the proximal joint 106 with claws 170 at the distal end of the delivery sheath 168, and pulls the barbs 164 into a recovery sheath 172, as shown in FIG. 22.
- the outside diameter of the recovery sheath 172 is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the proximal joint 106 and the center joint 108, so that the recovery sheath 172 can pass through those center joints.
- FIG. 23 shows an occluder with another embodiment of a catching member 180.
- Catching member 180 includes a proximal catch 182 and a distal stop 184.
- the outside diameter of the proximal catch 182 is greater than the inside diameter of the proximal joint 106 and center joints 108, and the diameter of the distal stop 184 is greater than the diameter of the proximal catch 182.
- Distal stop 184 is preferably fixedly connected to the distal joint 110 and thus is not movable with respect to the distal end of the occluder at any time, while the portions of the occluder move over the proximal end to catch the occluder in place.
- a ball 186 for connection to a claw 190 is attached to the proximal catch 182 via a string or suture 188 to form a releasable connection, although as described above, other types of connections can be made.
- the operator grasps the ball 186 with the claw 190 attached to a delivery shaft 192, and pulls the delivery shaft 192 until the proximal joint 106 stops against the delivery sheath 194.
- the rounded end of the proximal catch 182 deforms so that the proximal catch 182 can pass through the center joint 108.
- the proximal catch subsequently deforms through the proximal joint 106 so that the proximal catch can pass through the proximal joint 106 in the proximal direction.
- the proximal joint 106 returns to its original shape, and the flat distal side of the proximal catch 182 prevents the proximal catch 182 from passing back through the proximal joint 106 in the distal direction, as shown in FIG. 24.
- the catching mechanism 180 may also include a third catch 196 (shown in broken lines) between the proximal catch 182 and the distal catch 184.
- the third catch 196 provides an intermediate stop for engaging the center joint 106.
- the diameter of the third catch 196 is approximately equal to the proximal catch 182.
- the third catch 196 allows the distal petals of the occluder to maintain their form prior to the engagement of the proximal catch 182, and in the event the proximal catch 182 fails.
- FIG. 25 shows a method for releasing the catching mechanism 180.
- the operator uses claws 198 at the end of the delivery sheath 194 to grasp the proximal joint 106.
- the operator then uses a recovery shaft 200 to push the proximal catch 182 in a distal direction through the proximal joint 106 and subsequently through the center joint 108 (not shown).
- FIGS. 26 through 29 show an occluder with a ratchet- type catching mechanism, including a catching member 202 with a multiple grooves 204 at its proximal end.
- the distal end of the catching member 202 is fixedly attached to the distal joint 110.
- a delivery shaft 206 attaches to the proximal end of the catching member 202 via a ball and claw combination (or other reasonable connection) as described above for other embodiments. Other techniques for attaching the delivery shaft 206 (or other delivery means such as a delivery string) may also be used.
- the proximal joint 106 includes a pair of teeth 210, extending from the proximal side of the proximal joint 106, for engaging the grooves 204 on the catching member 202.
- the operator catches the occluder by pulling on the delivery shaft 206 until the pair of teeth 210 of the proximal joint 106 stop against the delivery sheath 208, then continuing to pull on the delivery shaft until the teeth 210 engage the first of the grooves 204.
- the teeth 210 pass over the grooves by extending away from the longitadinal axis as shown in FIG. 28.
- the grooves function as inclined planes or ramps to force the teeth away from the longitadinal axis as the operator pulls the delivery shaft 208.
- the teeth 210 settle into the grooves, preventing the catching member 202 from further movement.
- the grooves 204 may be set at equal angles, as shown in FIGS. 26 through
- FIG. 29 shows grooves 204 with one side of each groove angled, and the facing side nearly perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the catching member 202a.
- the catching mechanism in FIG. 29 includes grooves on only one side of the catching member 202a. Further, only one tooth 212 extends from the proximal joint for engaging the grooves in the catching member 202a of FIG. 29.
- the operator can release the catching member 202 by pushing on the catching member 202 with a recovery shaft or other similar mechanism so that the teeth 210 extend away from the longitudinal axis of the catching member 202 as the teeth 210 pass over the grooves 204.
- FIG. 30 shows another embodiment of an interference catching mechanism, including a catching member 220 having a longitudinal split 222 and protrusions 224 extending in a radial direction away from the longitudinal axis of the catching member 220.
- the distal end of the catching member 220 is fixedly attached to the distal joint 110.
- the proximal joint 106 includes apertures 226 for engaging the protrusions 224 when the catching mechanism is in the caught position.
- the operator pulls the catching member 220 in a proximal direction via a delivery wire 228 (or a delivery shaft or other similar delivery mechanism).
- a delivery wire 228 or a delivery shaft or other similar delivery mechanism.
- the delivery wire 228 attaches via bendable hooks 230 to an eyelet 232 that is secured to the catching member 220.
- alternative techniques for attaching a delivery mechanism to the catching mechanism 220 may also be used (for example, direct attachment or a ball/claw arrangement).
- the split 222 allows the protrusions 224 to deflect toward the longitadinal axis of the catching member 220, so that the catching member 220 can pass through the center joint 108.
- the protrusions 224 again deflect toward the longitudinal axis of the catching member 220 until the protrusions 224 align with the apertures 226, as shown in FIG. 31. At this point, the protrusions 224 spring back to their relaxed position and engage the apertures 226 to catch the catching mechanism.
- the protrusions can be pulled all the way through proximal joint 106, such that they are against the proximal end of the proximal joint. In either case, the delivery wire would be detached to complete the delivery.
- FIGS. 32 and 33 show an occluder with another embodiment of a catching mechanism that includes a catching member 230 with its distal end fixedly attached via an end cap 231 to the distal joint 110 and has a proximal end 232 that can be made to form a hook 234 when deployed and in a caught position, as shown in FIG. 33.
- the catching member 230 is made of a spring material known in the art, and is normally in a hooked configuration.
- the operator straightens the hook 234 and inserts the catching member 230 in a delivery tube that keeps the hook in a relatively straight position.
- the delivery tube keeps the hook 234 straight while the operator deploys the occluder, at which time the operator withdraws the delivery tube in a proximal direction, releasing the hook 234 to the position shown in FIG. 33.
- the proximal end 232 of the catching member 230 is made from a shape memory material (e.g., nitinol wire) that is designed to form hooked ends when deployed in a caught position. While deploying the occluder, the proximal end 232 of the catching member 230 is in its martensitic form. Once the occluder is fully deployed, the proximal end of the catching member 230 reverts to austenite to form the hooked end 234 and engage the proximal joint 106 as shown in FIG. 33.
- a shape memory material e.g., nitinol wire
- a next group of embodiments includes external interference catches in which catching members pass outside of the center joints along a longitadinal axis, and engage the center joints from the outside rather than from the inside as in the embodiments above.
- FIG. 34 through 37 show an occluder with one type of external interference catching mechanism, including a first catching member 240 and a second catching member 242, both fixedly attached to the distal joint 110 and both having anchor barbs 244 at their proximal ends.
- the operator pulls the distal joint 110 toward the proximal joint 106 (using one of several techniques described herein), causing the anchor barbs 244 to pass over the center joint 108 and subsequently the proximal joint 106.
- the anchor barbs 244 engage the proximal end of the proximal joint 106 as shown in FIG. 35, thereby catching the occluder. Note that in devices such as that shown in FIG. lb, there can be gaps between the places where petals are connected to joints.
- FIGS. 36 and 37 show another embodiment of a catching mechanism, including a first catching member 246 and a second catching member 248, both fixedly attached to the distal joint 110 and both having a first set of anchor barbs 250 at their proximal ends.
- the catching mechanism further includes a third catching member 252 and a fourth catching member 254, both fixedly attached to the central joint 108 and both having a second set of anchor barbs 256 at their proximal ends.
- the operator pulls the distal joint 110 toward the proximal joint 106 (using one of several techniques described herein), causing the first set of anchor barbs 250 to pass over the center joint 108, while the second set of anchor barbs 256 pass over the proximal joint 106.
- the first set of anchor barbs 250 engage the center joint 108
- the second set of anchor barbs 256 engage the proximal joint 106, as shown in FIG. 37.
- the following embodiments are referred to as stick anchor catches, and include occluder catching mechanisms with a rigid stick portion that rotates from an orientation substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the occluder to an orientation that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the occluder. While parallel to the longitudinal axis, the stick portion passes through the occluder center joint. When the stick portion rotates into a position that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the occluder, the stick portion cannot pass through the center joint because the length of the stick portion is greater than the inside diameter of the center joint. While preferably parallel and perpendicular, any configuration can be used that moves a potential stopper from a first position for allowing the stick to pass through an opening, to a second position not allowing the stick to pass through.
- FIGS. 38 through 40 show one embodiment of a stick anchor catch, including an elastic string 260 (or suture) having its distal end fixedly attached to the distal joint 110 and its proximal end pivotally attached to an anchor stick 262.
- the anchor stick 262 has a cross section that is smaller than the inside diameter of the occluder center joints, and preferably has a slight bend in one end 266 to make it easier to catch.
- a delivery string 264 attaches releasably to an end 268 of the anchor stick 262.
- the anchor stick 262 shifts to an orientation that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the occluder. In this orientation, the anchor stick 262 easily passes through the center joint 108 and the proximal joint 106. Once the anchor stick is completely through the proximal joint 106, the elastic string 260 is in tension.
- the proximal joint 106 in FIG. 39 includes a slot 270 into which the anchor stick 262 fits when the catching mechanism is in the caught position.
- Other embodiments may not include the slot 270, or the slot can be more V- shaped with the outer end much wider than the width at the interior of the joint 106.
- the tension in the elastic string 260 maintains the catching mechanism in the caught position by holding the anchor stick 262 against the proximal end of the proximal joint 106.
- the bend in the anchor stick may alternatively be pointing toward the center joint 106, as shown in FIG. 41, to provide for better septal profile.
- both ends of the anchor stick may include a bend, a shown in FIG. 42, forming a generally U-shaped configuration.
- the next group of embodiments relate to what are termed here "puzzle catches.” They include components that mate in the caught position, typically with a friction snap-fit or friction press-fit.
- FIGS. 43 and 44 show one embodiment of a puzzle catching mechanism for occluders.
- a catching member 280 has a first loop 282 at a first end, and a second loop 284 at a second end.
- the first loop 282 and the second loop 284 are oriented at an angle, and preferably substantially orthogonally with respect to one another. Other embodiments may include different orientations.
- the middle connecting portion 285 of the catching member 280 (i.e., between the two loops) is fixedly attached to the center joint 108.
- the proximal side of the distal joint 110 includes a first slot 286 oriented and shaped to provide a press-fit for the first loop 282.
- the distal side of the proximal joint 106 includes a second slot 288 oriented and shaped to provide a press-fit for the second loop 284.
- the slot has a smaller width at the outside and a longer internal diameter to allow a snap fit.
- the catching member 280 of FIGS. 43 and 44 may include an aperture running through it along a longitadinal axis of the catching member 280 to allow a delivery string (or wire or shaft) to pass from the proximal end of the occluder to the distal end of the occluder.
- the delivery string is fixedly attached to the distal joint.
- the operator pulls the delivery string in a proximal direction.
- the proximal joint stops against a delivery sheath, and as the operator continues to pull on the delivery string, the distal joint moves in a distal direction toward the proximal joint until the occluder catches in the closed position.
- 45 and 46 show another embodiment of a puzzle catching mechanism for occluders.
- This embodiment has press-fit slots 290 on the proximal joint 106, shaped and oriented to facilitate press-fit mating with the occluder petals 292 on the proximal side of the center joint 108.
- This embodiment also has press-fit slots 294 on the proximal side of the distal joint, shaped and oriented to facilitate press-fit mating with the occluder petals 296 on the distal side of the center joint 108.
- the operator catches this catching mechanism by moving the distal joint 110 in a proximal direction relative to the proximal joint 106 until the press-fit slots 290 mate with the occluder petals 292, and the press fit slots 294 mate with the occluder petals 296, as shown in FIG. 46.
- the catching mechanism shown in FIGS. 45 and 46 also includes a press- fit slot 298 on the proximal side of the center joint 108, and a press-fit slot 300 on the distal side of the center joint 108, for mating with the occluder petals on the proximal joint 106 and the distal joint 110, respectively.
- These slots and their corresponding occluder petals mate at the same time the slots 290, 294 engage as described above.
- Other embodiments may include only the press-fit slots 290 and 294 on the proximal joints and the distal joint, respectively, as described above.
- FIGS. 47 and 48 illustrate a variation of the puzzle catching mechanism shown in FIGS. 45 and 46.
- the distal joint 110 includes ball-ended protrusions 310 that mate with corresponding slots 312 on the distal end of the center joint 108.
- the proximal joint 106 includes ball ended protrusions 314 that mate with corresponding slots 316 on the proximal end of the proximal end of the center joint 108.
- the operator moves the distal joint 110 in a proximal direction with respect to the proximal joint 106 until the ball ended protrusions mate with their corresponding slots, thereby catching the occluder, as shown in FIG. 48.
- FIG. 47 Other embodiments of the catching mechanism shown in FIG. 47 may reverse the position of the ball-ended protrusion/slot combinations, i.e., have the protrusions on the center joint, and the slots on the proximal joint and the distal joint. Various combinations of these embodiments may also be used, i.e., the center joint 108 may have some combination of protrusions and slots.
- FIG. 49 shows a puzzle catching mechanism with a first catching member 320 having a proximal end 322 fixedly attached to the proximal joint 106, and a loop 324 at the distal end.
- the catching mechanism also includes a second catching member 326 having a distal end 328 fixedly attached to the distal joint 110, and a C-shaped clamp 330 at the proximal end.
- the occluder petals are not shown for clarity.
- the center joint is shaped as shown in FIG. 49 to allow the clamp 330 to engage the loop 324 at the center joint 108 via a friction fit when the catching mechanism is deployed. While FIG. 49 shows the ends of clamp 330 with a gap, they would likely be very close together or may even be essentially in contact with each other and spread on contact with loop 324.
- FIGS. 50 and 51 show a puzzle catching mechanism in which the occluder petal members 340 are arranged so as to overlap and interlock one another, thereby catching the occluder.
- FIG. 50 shows the proximal joint 106 and the center joint 108 in an released position.
- petals 340a of the center joint 108 pass beyond and overlap the petals 340b of the proximal joint 106 so as to be on the proximal side of the petals 340b of the proximal joint 106, as shown in FIG. 51.
- This overlapping/interlocking of the petals prevents movement of the center joint 108 away from the proximal joint 106 in a distal direction, thereby catching the occluder.
- the distal joint (not shown) and the center joint similarly have petals arranged to overlap/interlock one another to catch the center joint and distal joint together.
- the next embodiments relate to catches within the occlusion members, including adhesive or other securing material as part of the occluder structure.
- FIGS. 52 and 53 illustrate an adhesive catching mechanism where the occluder petals 350 are covered with a tissue scaffold.
- the inner surfaces 352 of the tissue scaffold i.e., the surfaces facing one another between the proximal joint 106 and the center joint 108, and between the center joint 108 and the distal joint 110) are coated with an adhesive material.
- the operator injects an activating material into the occluder to activate the adhesive, thereby allowing surfaces 352a to adhere to surfaces 352b, and surfaces 352c to adhere to surfaces 352d, as shown in FIG. 53.
- FIGS. 54 shows a catching mechanism similar to the one shown in FIGS.
- a hook and loop material i.e., a "velcro" type fabric
- the inner surfaces having complementary sets of hooks and loops come together and the hooks latch onto the loops, thereby securing the inner surfaces together.
- the surfaces facing the distal end of the occluder have an array of hooks
- the surfaces facing the proximal end of the occluder have an array of loops.
- the opposite arrangement may be used, or some combination thereof, as long as the facing surfaces that are to be secured to one another have complementary sets of hooks/loops.
- Other connecting arrangements can be used, such as appropriate hooks on each side for a hook-on-hook connection.
- FIG. 55 shows a catching mechanism similar to the one shown in FIG. 54, except that ball and loop latching materials are disposed on the inner surfaces of the tissue scaffold rather than hook and loop materials.
- Other embodiments may includes similar "latching" fabrics or materials to secure facing tissue scaffold surfaces to catch the occluder.
- the following embodiments include "two-element" catches and coil catches.
- the two-elements catches operate on the principle that two elements work together such that either one is small enough to pass through an occluder center joint, but the two elements together form a unit that is too big to pass through an occluder center joint.
- a coil catching mechanism uses a catching member made from a material that, when relaxed, assumes a coil shape such as a helical spring with an outside diameter larger than the inside diameter of the occluder center joints. This catching member can be stretched along its longitudinal axis during occluder deployment, so that its outside diameter is smaller than the inside diameter of the center joints.
- a first ball 360 and a second ball 362 are fixedly attached to a first string 364 (or wire or suture).
- the distal end of the first string 364 is releasably attached to a ball 365 that is part of the distal joint 110, either held to the distal end by the tension, or fixedly connected to the distal end.
- the proximal end of the first string 364 extends out through the center joint 108 and the proximal joint 106 to the operator.
- a third ball 366 and a fourth ball 368 are fixedly attached to a second string 370.
- the distal end of the second string 370 is releasably attached to the ball 365 at the distal joint 110, and the proximal end of the second string 370 extends out through the center joint 108 and the proximal joint 106 to the operator.
- the length of the first string 364 from the first ball 260 to the distal joint is the same as the length of the second string 370 from the third ball 366 to the distal joint 110.
- the length of the first string between the first ball 360 and the second ball 362 is the same as the length of the second string 370 from the third ball 366 to the fourth ball 368.
- At least one of the strings can be elastic, in this case string 364, so that one of the strings may be stretched to stagger the balls along the longitudinal axis, as shown in FIG. 56.
- Each of the strings 364 and 370 can include multiple string segments. In each case, the strings can be fixedly connected to the respective balls if a mechanism is provided to cut the strings after delivery.
- the operator pulls one of the strings in a proximal direction to stagger the first and third balls, and the second and fourth balls. While the balls are staggered, the operator pulls both strings until the first ball 360 and the third ball 366 are on the proximal side of the center joint 108, and the second ball 362 and the fourth ball 368 are on the proximal side of the proximal joint 106. The operator then releases the string that is in elastic tension, so as to return the first/third and the second/fourth ball pairs in the side-by-side configuration. When the first third ball and the second/fourth pairs are in side-by-side configuration, as shown in FIG. 57, the pairs cannot pass through the center joints, thereby catching the occluder. The strings are then detached or cut from the device to complete delivery.
- first string 364 and second string 370 may be one continuous string that passes through the distal joint and can slide along a fixed or rotatable axle, so that the distal joint 110 acts as a pulley. The operator pulls on one of the strings to stagger or realign the ball pairs.
- FIGS. 58 and 59 show yet another two element catching mechanism for an occluder.
- a first ball 380 and a second ball 382 are fixedly attached to a string 384 (or wire, suture, or tube).
- the distal end of the string 384 is fixedly attached to a ball 385 that forms part of the distal joint 110, and the proximal end of the string 384 passes through the center joint 108 and the proximal joint 106 and out to the operator.
- the operator pulls the string 384 until the occluder stops against a delivery sheath 386.
- the operator continues to pull the string 384 until the first ball 380 is on the proximal side of the center joint 108 and the second ball 382 is on the proximal side of the proximal joint 106.
- the operator then inserts a catching rod 388 through the proximal joint 106, the center joint 108, and the distal joint 110, as shown in FIG. 59.
- the outside diameter of the catching rod 388 is large enough to prevent either ball from passing through a center joint while the catching rod 388 is disposed within the center joints as shown in FIG. 59.
- the string 384 may include multiple string segments. The method of using claws, as referred to in conjunction with FIGS. 13-15, could also be used here to recover the device.
- FIGS. 60 and 61 illustrate another embodiment similar to that shown in
- a catching tube 389 with an outside diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the center joints includes two apertures in the side wall, each large enough for a first ball 390 or a second ball 391 to pass.
- a string 392 attaches the first ball 390 to the second ball 392.
- the operator deploys the occluder within the PFO by moving the distal joint 110 toward the proximal joint 106, using any one of several delivery techniques described herein or known in the art. The operator then inserts the catching rod 393, thereby retaining each ball in its respective apertare.
- each ball extend beyond the outside diameter of the catching tube 389 in this position, preventing the proximal joint 106 from moving in the proximal direction or the distal joint from moving in the distal direction, thereby catching the occluder.
- FIGS. 62 and 63 illustrate an example of a coil catch.
- the coil catching member 394 is stretched along a delivery rod 396, so that the outside diameter of the stretched coil is less than the inside diameter of the occluder center joints.
- the operator deploys the occluder within the PFO by moving the distal joint 110 toward the proximal joint 106, using any one of several delivery techniques described herein or known in the art. Once the occluder is deployed, the operator releases the coil catching member 394, and portions of the catching member 394 that are not restrained by the inside diameter of the center joints expand, as shown in FIG. 63, thereby catching the occluder.
- the coil at the distal end can be rigidly attached to the distal joint 110 from the beginning, or it can be held in place with spring forces without a rigid connection.
- end cap catches that include an end cap that fixedly attaches to one or both ends of the occluder and engage a catching member to hold the occluder in a caught, deployed position.
- FIGS. 64-66 show an embodiment of an end cap catching mechanism, including a catching member 400 with a catching ball 402 fixedly attached to its proximal end, and its distal end fixedly attached to the distal joint 110.
- This embodiment shows the distal end of the catching member 400 fixedly attached to a ball 405 having an outside diameter larger than the inside diameter of the distal joint 110, although other techniques of securing the distal end of the catching member 400 to the distal joint may also be used.
- the outside diameter of the catching ball 402 may be slightly less than the inside diameter of the center joint 108 and the proximal joint 106.
- a detachable delivery wire 404 (or delivery shaft) attaches to the catching ball 402, and a catching cap 406 is disposed about the delivery wire 404 on the proximal side of the catching ball 402.
- the operator catches this catching mechanism by pulling on the delivery wire 404 so as to pull the distal joint 110 in a proximal direction toward the proximal joint 106.
- the catching ball 402 is on the proximal side of the proximal joint 106, as shown in FIG. 65, the operator pushes the catching cap 406 over the catching ball 402.
- the catching ball 402 deforms catching cap 406, expanding the inside diameter of the catching cap 406.
- the catching cap 406 returns to its original shape, resisting the catching ball 402 from passing back through the catching cap 406 in a distal direction.
- the delivery wire 404 is then detached from ball 402 if releasably attached to it, or is cut to sever the connection to ball 402.
- the catching cap has threads on its distal side, so that the catching cap 406 can be screwed onto mating threads disposed on the outside of the proximal portion of the proximal joint 106.
- a claw can be used to grip the ball 402.
- FIGS. 67 and 68 show a catching mechanism with an end cap 410 fixedly attached to the distal side of the distal joint 110, and a proximal joint with two apertures 412 and 414 in its side walls.
- the end cap 410 also includes two apertures 416 and 418.
- a continuous string or wire 420 passes through the first aperture 412, through the proximal joint 106, the center joint 108 and the distal joint 110, then out through the end cap apertare 416.
- the wire 420 loops back through the other end cap aperture 418, through the distal joint 110, the center joint and the proximal joint and out through the second proximal joint aperture 414.
- the two ends of the wire are secured together with an anchor block 422 on the proximal side of the proximal joint 106, and both ends continue on to the operator through a delivery sheath (not shown).
- the operator twists the two ends of the wire at the proximal side of the proximal joint 106 by rotating the anchor block 422. Twisting the wire effectively shortens the wire within the occluder, drawing the distal joint 110 and the proximal joint 106 together.
- the operator severs both ends of the wire at the distal side of the anchor block 422, as shown in FIG. 68.
- the remaining twisted bundle 424 of wire keeps the occluder in a closed and caught position.
- FIGS. 69 and 70 show a catching mechanism with a catching member 430 that includes a double anchor end catch 432 at one or both ends.
- the end catch 432 includes two or more branches 434 extending out and curving away from the occluder longitadinal axis. These branches can be held to joint 110 by forces without a rigid connection, or with a rigid connection.
- the end catches 432 are preferably made of a metallic material characterized by a spring constant, so that the branches 434 can be extended and held to be substantially parallel to the occluder longitadinal axis when deploying the occluder. Once the occluder is deployed, the operator releases the branches 434 so that they return to their original curved orientation, as shown in FIG.
- the operator can hold the branches in the extended position (i.e., substantially parallel to the occluder longitudinal axis) in several ways, including by pulling them straight with a set of delivery wires, as shown in FIG. 69, or by restraining them in an open position with a delivery catheter, or via other similar techniques known in the art.
- Each of the branches may also include spring loops along its length to provide more resistance to straightening the branches 434 when delivering the occluder, so that they more easily return to their original curved orientation once the occluder is deployed.
- FIG. lb the details of the portions of the device that would contact septum primum and septum secundum have been shown primarily in a general manner, except for certain figures such as FIG. lb.
- the device can have a shape of the type shown in FIG. lb, or one of the variations shown in the incorporated patent applications.
- the catching mechanisms that are described here can be used with other types of devices, such as those for closing an atrial septal defect (ASD).
- ASSD atrial septal defect
- the loops or petals are formed by extending away from one joint and looping around to be connected to the other joint, such that the petal extending away from one joint and extending away from the other joint are offset by some angle, such as 90° as shown in FIG. lb.
- other numbers of loops and petals can be used, and they can have other configurations including as loops that define a plane substantially perpendicular to the PFO tunnel rather than substantially parallel to it as shown in FIG. lc.
- the sides of the device can be different both in size and/or in type; e.g., the distal side petals could be larger or smaller than proximal side petals, or one side could have closed loops and the other side could have struts that do not loop.
- the embodiments described here are described preferably for use with a device made of a polymer and formed from a single tube, such that the tube is a single monolithic material.
- the catching mechanism can be all or partly monolithic or integral with the tubular structure, or there can be an absence of any type of bonding or rigid connection to the rest of the tubular structure, in which case there may be some spring force or other force that holds the catching mechanism in place. While the device is thus shown as being substantially formed from a single tabular body, the catching mechanism as described in the embodiments above could be used with other types of devices, including those formed from many pieces, and including devices formed from other materials, including stainless steel or nitinol.
- the device is made of a polymer
- wire might convey a more rigid piece than a string, the two terms are essentially interchangeable, and further include embodiments in which the wire or string is a hollow tube or conduit to allow another wire, as needed, to pass through its longitudinal axis.
