Definitions

  • Stents have established themselves as a means of treating pathologically altered body vessels and hollow organs and opened up new treatment options.
  • Self-expanding stents have some technical advantages, such as a smaller insertion diameter and greater flexibility and elasticity of the stent, compared to balloon-expandable stents.
  • the self-expanding stent delivery systems currently in use consist of a sheath in which the stent is kept unexpanded and a pusher system which drives the stent out of the sheath into the vessel to be treated. This pusher contains a channel for the angiography guide wire.
  • the force to drive the stent out of the catheter is not transmitted through a pusher but through a fluid or gas column.
  • Applicable would be the principle of hydraulics or pneumatics, i. the force to drive the stent out of the sheath is transmitted through a liquid or gas column.
  • the hydraulic principle ensures a smoother and more controllable and metered power transmission to the stent, which is to be released from the surrounding shell.
  • the principle of hydraulics is already partially used in connection with a commercially available product, the embolic spiral: a thread-like wire structure located in a catheter is flushed out of the catheter by flushing liquid and thus brought into the vessel to be treated, where it is a ball unfolds and closes the vessel lumen.
  • embolization coil is a small, thin and faint filamentary structure that has little radial expansion force, little force is needed to force the coil out of the catheter as there are no significant frictional forces.
  • the power transmission through a piston has not been used.
  • the application of such guarantees a more accurate placement.
  • the embolization coil is in contrast to self-expanding stents, which have a very strong radial force and thus cause high frictional forces in the catheter.
  • the technique described here (system for releasing a stent by means of hydraulic or pneumatic principle) transmits a stronger effect than the known technique described above and is therefore not comparable with this.
  • the stent to be placed is a coil stent, e.g. a double coil stent, a meander stent, or a helix stent that does not completely fill the lumen of the catheter prior to release in its stretched state (Fig.1, 2).
  • the printing medium e.g. Liquid or gas, flows partially past the coil stent and serves as a lubricant to reduce the frictional forces between stent and catheter.
  • the tip of the coil stent, so the wire is formed like a piston.
  • the piston has such a large diameter that it fills the inner lumen of the catheter (Fig.3,4). Fluid that is forced into the catheter from the proximal end hits the piston and forces it out of the catheter (Fig.3). The piston seals the gap (gap) so that the pressure medium can not flow past between the piston surface and the catheter inner wall.
  • the piston attached to the anterior end of the stent portion then pulls the stent behind and out of the catheter (Fig. 4).
  • the helical coil is not compressed by proximal, whereby the resulting friction energy is lower.
  • further pistons are attached to the stent wire (Figs.
  • the pistons are of a smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the surrounding catheter or are provided with holes, thus creating a leak so that at the beginning of the release the pressure medium, e.g. a liquid, can penetrate to the first piston.
  • the dimensions of the piston may be such that the piston, together with the portion of wire in the catheter, can rotate about its longitudinal axis within the surrounding catheter while the elongated helix wire stent is being expelled.
  • the portion of the helix stent already implanted in the vessel then no longer moves, but only the portion of the stent remaining in the catheter.
  • a proper placement of the stent is achieved in its predetermined form. In this case, damage to the vessel wall is avoided, which could be caused by a moving stent in the vessel. Also avoided is an undesirable unfavorable rejection of the helical shape.
  • the additional pistons could be the same size and all fill the lumen of the catheter.
  • At least the foremost piston lies flat on the wall of the vessel after implantation of the stent, so that no turbulence arises (FIG. 6).
  • the pistons attached to the stent wire may be made of biodegradable material and dissolve in the blood so as not to obstruct blood flow ( Figure 4).
  • the front tip of the stent is shaped like a ball that is picked up by a forked wire.
  • the fork wire is firmly connected to a piston, which together form the stent carrier (carrier); the piston is located proximally behind the end of the stent (Fig.7,8). Fluid that is forced into the catheter from the proximal end strikes the piston and moves the stent held on the fork wire out of the catheter along with the forked wire. The stent disengages from the fork wire and the fork wire is then removed along with the catheter and the in-flask.
  • the catheter is internally fitted with a plunger which pushes the stent through the catheter and pushes it out of the catheter (Fig.9,10).
  • the plunger remains in the catheter, this is done by a fuse, e.g. ensures a thread that is anchored in the catheter.
  • a side hole in the wall of the catheter (FIG. 10). As long as the stent, or portions of the stent, are still in the catheter, the side hole is closed by the piston.
  • the piston After release of the stent, the piston is at the catheter tip and the side hole is open, so that serving as a pressure medium, inflowing liquid can now escape through the side hole. This reduces the pressure on the piston, so that the piston does not move further (Fig.10).
  • the distance of the side hole from the catheter tip must be at least as large as the length of the piston (Fig.9,10).
  • Such a piston has centrally a hole-shaped channel through which the guide wire is inserted.
  • the hole is so large that the guidewire fills it completely and seals it so that no pressure loss can occur.
  • Such a piston like the pistons in a motor, also has additional seals, e.g. Sealing rings (Fig.11,12).
  • the piston as a whole is flexible and flexible so that the system can be pushed through tortuous arteries and also released in an arterial curve.
  • the small diameter tube or stent in the catheter constitutes the plunger itself.
  • the opening of the small diameter tubular stent is filled by the guide wire so that there is no pressure loss occurs when the stent is squeezed out.
  • the distal tip of the catheter is resilient and conical so that the step between the guidewire and the catheter containing the stent is balanced (Fig.13). As the stent emerges, the cone continues and allows passage without pressure loss (Fig.14).
  • the gap between guidewire and lumen of the collapsed stent is filled by a biodegradable substance.
  • the gaps between the individual stent struts at the rear end of the stent are filled with the polymer so that the stent end so compressed gets the effect of a piston. Upon deployment of the stent in the vessel, this polymer-like substance ruptures and completely releases the stent (FIGS. 15 and 16).
  • the catheter In the catheter is located at the distal end of an elongated piston, which is provided with a conical tip. Coaxially through the tip first leads a channel, which then leads obliquely to the outer surface of the piston and receives the guide wire (Fig.17).
  • the system shown corresponds to a fast exchange system.
  • a carrier with a stent bed At the distal portion of this piston there is a carrier with a stent bed, in which the stent is inserted in the low-profile state and is held in its small diameter by the sheath of the introducer catheter, the stent is elastically self-expanding.
  • the introducer catheter has an elongated slot. This slot is located above the side opening of the piston.
  • the guidewire is inserted into the distal opening of the cutlery prior to insertion of the catheter stent assembly and retrograded through the plunger until it projects out of the side opening of the plunger and out the overlying longitudinal slot of the catheter.
  • the catheter is placed in a hollow vessel, e.g. Artery, introduced into the body until the unfolded stent is in the area of the site to be treated. Then, the pressure is applied to the pressure medium in the catheter, whereby the piston is pushed forward.
  • the pressurization causes the plunger to remain in position while the catheter is withdrawn.
  • the catheter must be retracted to the same extent to strike the site in the artery to be treated with the expanding stent.
  • the plunger including the guidewire, slips distally, with the guidewire also moving distally in the elongated slot. So the stent is then released for expansion. This is the case when the distal end of the catheter no longer covers the bed of the stent. Slipping out of the piston is prevented by the wire during Stepping out of the lateral hole of the piston, a continued slipping of the piston blocked (Fig.18).
  • Such a securing effect which prevents leakage of the piston from the catheter, can also be achieved by a side hole in the catheter itself, as described in Fig.9 and Fig.10.
  • a side hole in the catheter itself, as described in Fig.9 and Fig.10.
  • the system described in Figure 17 can also be used as a closed system (Fig.18), ie, that the pressure medium does not have to be introduced by the user, but before use in the Catheter is installed.
  • the doctor then needs to pressurize the system only with the pressure, the pressure syringe or the pressure vessel is already firmly connected to the catheter.
  • connections between hoses to be made by the doctor are eliminated.
  • the advantage of the closed system for the pressure medium is that it avoids the accidental ingress of air into the system.
  • a likewise closed for the hydraulic pressure transmission embodiment is, as described in Figure 19, a catheter-stent system in which the hydraulic fluid is not introduced by the doctor, but was previously filled by the producer.
  • the catheter-stent assembly thus produced is not introduced via a guide wire, but through the sheath of a catheter lock, which is provided at the proximal end, ie outside the patient, with a hemostatic valve.
  • the assembly is introduced through the previously introduced lock.
  • the pump is pressurized, whereby the stent is expelled from the catheter by pressure on the piston.
  • the sluice was withdrawn, at least the length of the unfolded stent.
  • the catheter is withdrawn to assure accurate placement of the deploying stent.
  • the advantage of the closed hydraulic system is that the system is air or gas free to apply to the attending physician, and thus the stent release can be better controlled.
  • the piston and stent are best advanced if the system does not contain air but is filled only with fluid. If air has previously entered the system, it must be vented.
  • a double-lumen catheter-stent assembly is shown in FIGS. 20 and 21.
  • the catheter has a thinner and a thicker lumen. Before the system is introduced into the hollow organ to be treated and also before the guidewire is introduced, the system is vented, via the thin-lumen portion of the system. The thin-lumen portion later also serves to pressurize.
  • the advantage of the thin-lumen tube here is that it is in principle more rigid, the wall tension is lower here than in a wide tube ( Figure 22). For a rigid pipe, the pressure can therefore be better dosed, because the walls expand less with increased pressure.
  • the system is purged to remove residual air.
  • the pressure medium initially passes from the proximal outside of the catheter via a syringe through the thin-lumen tube into the main pressure chamber.
  • the seals are now where no guide wire is inserted, open> so that the air from the pressure chamber via the non-closing valve can escape, after proximally.
  • the rinse fluid exits the stent carrier system from its tip.
  • the tip of the system is closed, eg, with a finger, until the fluid has exited the proximal end of the catheter via the second valve located more proximally. Thereafter, the stopcock is closed at the proximal end of the thin-lumen catheter opening.
  • the guidewire is inserted over the tip of the stent-carrier system and passed through the catheter. Only then is the vented system introduced into the hollow organ to be treated.
  • the pressurization for propulsion of the stent carrier for stent delivery is via the thin lumen of the system, wherein the pressure chamber increases its volume and the stent carrier is conveyed out of the surrounding catheter.
  • the volume of the syringe (pump) for pressurization is at least as large as that of the pressure chamber in the state after release of the stent.
  • the piston area of the stent carrier has two seals for better sealing.
  • the second consists of a disc of elastic Kunststofftoff eg silicone and seals the gap between the guide wire and the catheter.
  • the disc-shaped seal will adapt to this circumstance.
  • the small lumen used for pressurization is relatively thick-walled compared to the guidewire lumen.
  • the small lumen is therefore surrounded by a large amount of wall mass (FIG. 22). This guarantees that the pressure on the wall of the small lumen can not expand and thus the release of the stent from the carrier system is well controlled.
  • a second variant is that instead of a double-lumen catheter, there is only one lumen. A hollow wire (tube) is introduced into this lumen via a valve, through which air is forced out when flushing with liquid (Fig. 23). This system can be introduced into the body via a guide wire.
  • the guidewire is passed coaxially through the system via the opening of the stent carrier and then passes outwardly proximally via the hemostatic valve ( Figure 24).
  • the system is flushed through a thin tube that extends into the channel of the stent carrier (Fig. 23), whereby irrigation fluid will run in through the tube. This happens z. B. by a small syringe.
  • the proximal end is raised, allowing the air in the system to escape from the distal tip of the stent carrier.
  • the tube is withdrawn slowly through the valve and also with injection of the liquid.
  • the guide wire can now be introduced into the catheter (Fig.24), which has become completely free of air. In this case, liquid enters the pump via the pump attachment.
  • the hydraulic pump which is also vented, is attached and expelled by pressure of the stent carriers, with the catheter being withdrawn accordingly.
  • the bellows consists of a hose with transverse to the longitudinal axis extending folds, which serves as a piston. This tube is wrapped by the catheter.
  • the folded tube has transverse folds which are pushed together in the unexpanded state, as a result of which the tube is shortened. If liquid pressure is introduced outside the patient at the end of the tube, the tube expands in the longitudinal direction when the other, opposite opening is closed by a piston. The plug-shaped piston will then drive the stent out.
  • the advantage of this system is that the collapsed and compressed hose is connected directly to the hose carrying the pressure medium. As a result, the liquid is trapped in a closed space, so the liquid can not come out between the piston and cylinder or in the body. This would be advantageous when using a so-called closed system. Furthermore, it is possible to dispense with seals between the piston and the catheter inner wall as well as between the piston and the guide wire.
  • the guidewire is inserted distally into the system through the stent or, as shown in Figure 18, the stent carrier, and then slides into the centrally located opening of the bellows-connected pusher of the stent Piston or a stent carrier.
  • the wire then continues to pass through an obliquely outwardly extending channel in the slide and from there past the bellows, between the bellows surface and the inner wall of the catheter to the outside.
  • a haemostatic valve At the end of the catheter is a haemostatic valve. The pressurization is carried out as previously described.
  • the catheter-stent device is longitudinally flexible in order to be able to insert the catheter through tortuous vessels or via vessel outlets.
  • the inner diameter of the catheter does not change. This can be achieved by reinforcements in the catheter wall, e.g. be achieved in the form of wire rings or -gef lecht. Between the wall reinforcements there is stretchable plastic to ensure flexibility.
  • the stent-bearing system remains in position during stent release as only the sheath surrounding the stent system moves and the stent carrier is held by a support tube.
  • the system is also particularly advantageous for the exact positioning of the stent, since when retracting the sheath surrounding the stent this does not have to be moved through the hemostatic valve of the catheter lock.
  • the sheath surrounding the stent does not contact the hemostatic valve of the introducer sheath, which reduces the frictional force and allows the end of the sheath to slide on the stabilization catheter within the vessel.
  • An advantage of this embodiment is further that it can be used e.g. in case of possible misplacement it is possible to manually push the catheter surrounding the stent back over the stent which has not yet fully expanded from the outside, the holding tube being held in position outside the patient and the pusher catheter being pushed forward into the patient ; The sheath catheter is thus pushed over the not yet fully expanded stent.
  • FIGS. 27 and 28 could also be designed such that the holding tube and the stabilization catheter are made of one part, the distal part of the holding tube located in the piston being made smaller in its diameter.
  • the catheter-stent system is also ventable, but has only a single lumen rather than a double, and therefore may be very small caliber.
  • the carrier system supporting the stent remains in position during stent release since only the sheath surrounding the stent system moves (Figs. 30 and 31).
  • the lumen of the catheter Prior to insertion of the guidewire into the catheter system, the lumen of the catheter is flushed by introducing liquid through the stopcock located at the proximal end. Air is removed from the catheter system.
  • the irrigation fluid can flow out at the distal end of the catheter because the seal located here does not close tightly unless a guidewire is inserted; the seal located at the proximal end of the catheter prevents the flushing fluid from draining proximally.
  • a guidewire is inserted into the system and the catheter system is inserted over the guidewire into the body.
  • the seal valve at the distal end of the catheter closes completely when inserted guidewire and is additionally secured by two metal rings. Since this sealing valve is distal to the pressure chamber, the inner lumen of the catheter is operatively included in the pressure chamber and is pressurized.
  • the system has three successive sheaths which abut one another: a flexible sheath surrounding the stent and an annular sheath surrounding the sheath, a sheath surrounding the catheter sheath, and an annular, slit removable sheath proximate thereto.
  • the annular sheath is removed manually; As long as this annular sheath is on the system, it prevents premature accidental slipping back of the sheath surrounding the catheter sheath as well as the sheath surrounding the stent.
  • the sheath surrounding the catheter sheath may be omitted if the sheath surrounding the stent is mechanically held in place by the pressure of the compressed stent during the insertion process so that it can not slide back before the pressurization occurs.
  • the pressure medium p introduced via the tap located at the proximal catheter end runs distally in the inner lumen of the catheter system, namely between the guide wire and the catheter inner wall through the side opening into the pressure chamber. There causes the pressure medium, because all seals are closed at the proximal and distal end of the catheter, that surrounding the stent shell by the proximal end of the shell attached annular, the catheter shaft enclosing piston is pushed back proximally.
  • the system shown in FIG. 32 also works without a valve when a so-called closed system is used, as described in FIG. 17 and FIG.
  • the proximal portion of the catheter has a smaller diameter than the stent carrier. This ensures that the pressure medium can act on a larger surface compared to the previously described embodiments. As a result, relatively lower pressure in the hydraulic system is necessary.
  • this embodiment includes a device for flushing and venting the stent bed. About a channel leading from the outside to the stent bed a rinsing liquid can be introduced through a syringe with cannula.
  • the flushing of the stent bed removes interfering air from the stent bed, which may be in the space between the catheter sheath and stent carrier and between the stent struts. Removal of air improves the stent's ability to be placed, as air present in the stent bed would cause the stent or portions of the stent to pop out of the stent bed in an uncontrolled manner. Furthermore, the removal of air from the stent bed prevents the escape of air into the artery. The leakage of air into the artery would result in an air embolism, especially in the treatment of supra-aortic arteries, e.g. The carotid artery is significant because air embolisms in the brain have serious effects on the patient. The flushing of the stent bed also causes.drained the individual components that move against each other, are lubricated and the movement is facilitated and controllable.
  • Fig. 33 also shows a hydraulic stent delivery system in which the sheath which retains the stent in a small radius slides back.
  • this system is designed as a "fast exchange system” with the guidewire pushed in over the distal tip and then laterally behind the piston system, ie proximally, out of the catheter.
  • the side hole for the guide wire is set so far proximally that the piston in its maximum Doylegeglittenen position, the stent bed for the folded stent completely free.
  • the pressure channel and the pressure chamber is flushed before beginning the procedure on the patient to flush out disturbing air out.
  • the fluid passes from the proximal direction through the catheter, to the pressure chamber and from there via an oblique channel into the channel, which receives the guide wire.
  • the fluid may drain distally over the seal valve, as this valve is open as long as no guidewire has been inserted; the second sealing valve, which is placed in the immediate vicinity of the mouth of the inclined channel is closed even if no guide wire has been introduced.
  • the rinsing fluid thus drains only via the distal opening of the catheter-stent system.
  • the system is then placed over the guidewire at the site in the body to be treated, now the guidewire closes the forward seal; the rear, ie proximal seal is also closed by the wire. Now the pressurization can begin, the liquid pushes the annular piston proximally, releasing the stent; the pressure does not escape through the sealing valves.
  • sealing rings are not needed in the pressure-conducting or guidewire-receiving channel because the guidewire-receiving channel is not in communication with the pressurized system.
  • the pressurization causes, as described in Fig.33, that the catheter sheath holding the stent slips proximally. Before that, the system is vented.
  • the supplying catheter is double-lumened, that is to say provided with two channels which open into the pressure chamber. To vent the system, liquid is introduced via the one catheter lumen and the air is forced out via the second catheter lumen.
  • one of the two catheter lumens is then closed proximally, while the pressure is applied via the other lumen in order to drive the annular piston back.
  • the guidewire extends obliquely from the catheter tip through the stent carrier, as in the system described in Fig. 33, to exit it through a side hole.
  • FIG. 35 is a further development of the catheter-stent system depicted in FIG.
  • the feeding catheter is only provided with a lumen.
  • This lumen is another thin catheter or tube that extends out of the catheter lumen via a seal valve at the proximal end of the system.
  • the catheter lumen is provided with the pressurizing pump or syringe through a side faucet on the outside catheter end.
  • the pressurization system is vented by the flushing liquid is introduced via the side valve via the catheter lumen into the pressure chamber. From there, the air or liquid to be escaped flows back out through the second, coaxially located tube extending into the pressure chamber.
  • the coaxial tube can then either be withdrawn to improve or even leave the flexibility of the system.
  • the seal valve completely closes the proximal end of the catheter to prevent the pressure from escaping.
  • the channel passing obliquely through the stent carrier has no connection to the pressure system, sealing valves within the channels are therefore unnecessary.
  • inventions described in Figures 32, 33, 34 and 35 also have the advantage that the stent bed can be rinsed. This facilitates stent release since any air present may be removed from the stent bed and the stent bed made slippery.
  • the stent bed is provided with an outwardly leading, punctiform channel, introduced via the rinsing liquid. The rinsing fluid then exits from the existing between the stent and Stentbettbegrenzung small spaces again.
  • Fig. 36 shows another technique for rinsing the stent bed.
  • the catheter has, as described in Fig. 35, a large lumen containing a coaxial catheter. This extends beyond the pressure chamber and into the stent bed. Pressurizing chambers and flushing liquid conducting channels are separated by a sealing valve in the distal portion of the main lumen of the catheter, which seals the inserted coaxial catheter from the main lumen.
  • the coaxial catheter is inserted distally so far that the stent bed is rinsed. Then the stent bed is rinsed via the coaxial catheter. Then it is retracted so far through the valve that the distal sealing valve closes as shown in FIG.
