Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present invention relate to stent-valves and associated methods and systems for their delivery via minimally-invasive surgery.
  • Biological valves do not require such anti-coagulation treatment but typically fail within 10-15 years. Thus, to limit the need for and risks associated with re- operation on failed biological valves, traditionally only patients with less than about 10-15 years to live have received biological valve replacements. Patients with longer life expectancies have received synthetic valves and anti-coagulant treatment. [0005] Attempts have been made to develop less-invasive surgical methods for cardiac valve replacement. These surgical methods, referred to as percutaneous heart valve replacement therapies (PHVT), use a catheter to deliver a replacement valve to an implantation site using the patient's vascular system. These PHVT attempts have various shortcomings, including their inability to ensure proper positioning and stability of the replacement valve within the patient's body.
  • PHVT percutaneous heart valve replacement therapies
  • Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems, methods, and devices for cardiac valve replacement.
  • these methods, systems, and devices may be applicable to the full range of cardiac-valve therapies including the replacement of failed aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves.
  • the present invention may facilitate a surgical approach whereby surgery is performed on a beating heart without the need for an open-chest cavity and heart-lung bypass. This minimally-invasive surgical approach may reduce the risks associated with replacing a failed native valve in the first instance, as well as the risks associated with secondary or subsequent surgeries to replace failed artificial (e.g., biological or synthetic) valves.
  • Stent- valves may include a valve component and at least one stent component.
  • the valve component may include a biological or synthetic (e.g., mechanical) valve and/or any other suitable material(s).
  • the stent component may include a first section (e.g., proximal section), a second section configured to house the valve component, and a third section (e.g., distal section).
  • the stent and valve components may be capable of at least two configurations: a collapsed configuration (e.g., during delivery) and an expanded configuration (e.g., after implantation).
  • the first section of the stent valve may include a fixation element.
  • Such a fixation element may include, for example, an annular groove for securing the stent-valve in place at an implantation site.
  • the annular groove may be configured to receive the annulus of the valve in need of replacement.
  • the annular groove of the first stent component may be configured for matable attachment to a complimentary annular projection of a second stent component (i.e., a positioning stent).
  • the second stent component may be anchored at the implantation site, for example, to the valve in need of replacement and/or adjoining structures.
  • the third section of the stent component may include at least one attachment element.
  • Each attachment element of the stent-valve may include, for example, a geometrical opening (e.g., circular or ovular), hook, or strap configured for removable attachment to a complimentary structure of a delivery device.
  • each attachment element may correspond to all or a portion of a commissural post, to which a commissure between two valve leaflets may be attached. The attachment element(s) may allow the stent-valve to be partially expanded within a patient's body while the stent-valve remains attached to the delivery device.
  • the stent-valve may include one attachment element. In other embodiments, the stent-valve may include at least two, three, six, or any other suitable number of attachment elements.
  • the fully-expanded stent diameter in the region of the attachment element(s) may be smaller than the diameter of the region that houses an associated valve. This may reduce the risk of injury to the patient's body (e.g., perforation of the aorta) from the attachment elements and/or make it easier to affix the attachment elements to the complimentary structure of the delivery device.
  • the stent component of the stent-valve may include a lattice structure with a plurality of cells.
  • the lattice structure may be formed from, for example, a shape-memory alloy such as nitinol or any other suitable material(s).
  • the cells in the lattice structure may be most densely populated in the section of the stent component that includes the fixation element. This may provide added support to the fixation element and increase the stability of the stent-valve.
  • the lattice structure may form at least one elongate stem (e.g., commissural post) that extends distally along the stent component towards the at least one attachment element.
  • the at least one stem may connect directly to the at least one attachment element.
  • the lattice structure may form at least one supporting element for connecting the at least one stem to the at least one attachment element.
  • all of the cells in the lattice structure may be closed cells, which may facilitate recapture of the stent-valve from the partially-expanded configuration to the collapsed configuration.
  • Still other embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method for replacing a valve.
  • a stent-valve is provided that includes a stent component with an annular groove, and the stent-valve is secured axially to an annulus of the valve in need of replacement.
  • providing a stent-valve may include suturing a valve component to the stent component.
  • providing a stent-valve may include expanding a valve component within the stent component in order to form a friction fitting.
  • providing a stent-valve may include securing a valve component to the stent component with a hook-and-loop (e.g., VELCRO®) fastening system.
  • a method for replacing a valve whereby a first stent component that includes an annular element is implanted such that at least a portion of the first stent component is housed within a valve in need of replacement.

  • the delivery system also includes a second assembly including a stent holder configured for removable attachment to at least one attachment element of a stent-valve.
  • the stent-valve may be positioned over the guide wire of the first assembly.
  • the first assembly and the second assembly may be configured for relative movement with respect to one another in order to transition from a closed position to an open position.
  • the outer sheath may encompass the stent-valve still attached to the stent holder and thus constrain expansion of the stent-valve.
  • the open position the outer sheath may not constrain expansion of the stent-valve and thus the stent-valve may detach from the stent holder and expand to a fully expanded configuration.
  • the first assembly and the second assembly may be configured to transition from the closed position, to a partially-open position, to the open position.
  • the stent-valve In the partially-open position, the stent-valve may expand partially but not detach from the stent holder because the outer sheath may still encompass the at least one attachment element of the stent-valve and the stent holder.
  • it may be determined whether the stent-valve will be positioned correctly if the stent-valve is expanded to the fully expanded configuration.
  • the functionality of the stent-valve may be tested (e.g., to determine whether the stent-valve will permit sufficient blood-flow) when the stent-valve is in the partially- expanded configuration.
  • the stent-valve delivery system may include at least one balloon (e.g., proximal to the stent-valve or other stent to be delivered) configured to cause expansion of the stent-valve or positioning stent upon inflation of the at least one balloon.
  • the stent-valve delivery system may include a push handle that causes the relative movement of the first assembly and the second assembly.
  • the stent-valve delivery system may include a screw mechanism for translating rotational movement of a handle into the relative movement of the first assembly and the second assembly.
  • the stent-valve delivery system may include an integrated introducer within which the first assembly and the second assembly are positioned during delivery of the stent-valve to an implantation site.
  • the integrated introducer may be configured to remain within a patient's body even after the first assembly and the second assembly are removed, for example, to allow for the introduction of an occluder.
  • the delivery system may be configured to return to the closed position by passing the second assembly through the stent-valve towards a distal end of the first assembly.
  • Still other embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method for delivering a stent-valve to an implantation site whereby the stent-valve is removably attached to a delivery device and the stent-valve is delivered to the implantation site in a collapsed configuration.
  • the stent-valve may be partially expanded while maintaining the stent-valve attached to the delivery device.
  • a determination with respect to the stent-valve may be made when the stent-valve is in the partially-expanded configuration. When the determination yields a positive response, the stent-valve may be expanded to its fully expanded configuration by causing the stent-valve to detach from the delivery device.
  • the stent-valve may be returned to the collapsed configuration and repositioned when the stent-valve is not positioned correctly at the implantation site.
  • it may be determined whether a valve component of the stent-valve is functioning properly for example, by testing whether the valve component will permit sufficient blood-flow.
  • the stent-valve may be returned to the collapsed configuration and removed from a patient's body when the stent-valve is not functioning properly.
  • delivering the stent-valve to the implantation site may include delivering the stent-valve to the heart for replacement of a cardiac valve.

  • stents 2112 and 2114 may have a crown-shape with protruding spikes formed from open or closed cells or Z-stents.
  • the first and second additional stents (2112, 2114) may collectively form a fixation element 2116 (FIG. 21C; e.g., annular groove) similar to fixation element 202 shown in FIG. 2A.
  • Fixation element 2116 may allow for fixation, for example, in an orifice of a failed valve which is of similar size as the stent 2108 carrying valve component 2110 or to an anchoring stent with a complimentary annular projection.
  • stents 2112 and 2114 may be replaced with a single stent in a double-conical configuration (e.g., the two cones connected by a continuous region in the area of fixation element 2116).
  • An advantage to using separate stent(s) for the cones/fixation element is that the mechanical stresses of the cones/fixation element (e.g., first and second stents 2112 and 2114) can be at least partially separated from stent 2108 containing the valve.
  • at least the additional stent or portion thereof positioned closer to the tip of the delivery system e.g., stent 2112) may be recapturable by the delivery system.
  • the additional stent may be formed in a pyramid or wing cross-sectional configuration 2118 (FIG. 21E).
  • the wing(s) or spikes of stent 2112 may be formed at various positions/heights along a central axis of stent 2108 similar to, for example, the stent shown in FIG. 7B. Having different positions/heights for at least some of the wings or spikes may facilitate engagement with, for example, native valves of different sizes.
  • FIGS. 22A-26C show examples of delivery systems for delivering stent-valves (e.g., single-stent-valves or double-stent-valves) to an implantation site in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention.
  • the present invention provides a minimally-invasive surgical approach whereby the surgery is performed on a beating heart without the need for an open-chest cavity and heart-lung bypass.
  • the heart may be penetrated, for example, trans-apically through a relatively small opening in the patient's body.
  • the patient's body may be penetrated through an intercostal space (e.g., fifth intercostal space), which is a region between two ribs. From this access point, the left ventricle may be penetrated at the apex of the heart.
  • a suitable stent-valve delivery system may initially penetrate the body/heart (e.g., delivery system 2600 (FIGS. 26A-26C) which includes an integrated introducer).
  • a separate introducer sheath may be used.
  • a guide wire may be inserted through the introducer to guide delivery of, for example, stent components), a valve component, and/or other devices (e.g., an occluder device).
  • transluminal, transaxial, or transventricular access approaches may be used for, for example, tricuspid and/or mitral valve replacement.
  • the right ventricle of the heart may also be accessed for pulmonary valve replacement. This is in contrast to other surgical approaches that deliver replacement valves via open-chest cavities.
  • FIGS. 22A-22D show a delivery system 2200 that includes two concentrically- arranged parts, a first assembly (including elements 2202-2210) and a second assembly (including elements 2216-2230).
  • the first assembly may include tip 2202 at the distal end of the delivery system (with a guide wire passing through the length of the delivery system and out the tip), inner shaft 2204, outer sheath 2206, metal shaft 2208, and push handle 2210.
  • the second assembly may include outer shaft (distal) 2216, tapered outer shaft connector 2218, outer shaft (proximal) 2220, stent holder 2222, kink protector 2224, hold handle connector 2226, hold handle cup 2228, and O-ring 2230.
  • push handle 2210 is located at the proximal end of the delivery system.
  • outer shaft 2220 has been split along its length to allow the components of delivery system 2200 to be shown in greater detail.
  • Valve 2212 and stent(s) 2214 form a third assembly that can be, for example, loaded and crimped between the first and second assemblies.
  • inner shaft 2204 functions as a lumen for a guide wire.
  • Tip 2202 is bonded at its distal end.
  • bonding refers to any suitable securing/fastening mechanism such as, for example, adhesive bonding using cyanoacrylate or UV-curing adhesives or thermal bonding/welding using heat energy to melt the components to be assembled.
  • Outer sheath 2206 may be bonded to the proximal section of tip 2202 and may constrain the stent-valve (2212, 2214). Outer sheath 2206 may be perforated to allow device flushing via hold handle 2210.
  • the proximal part of the first assembly may be reinforced with metal shaft 2208 and may end into the push handle with a luer connector for guide wire lumen flushing.
  • stent holder 2222 may be bonded distally on distal outer shaft 2216.
  • FIG. 22D shows a perspective view better illustrating the arrangement between the stent-valve (2212, 2214) and stent holder 2222.
  • Distal outer shaft 2216 may be bonded proximally to proximal outer shaft 2220 via tapered connector 2218.
  • Proximal outer shaft 2220 may be bonded via kink protector 2224 to the hold handle assembly, which may include hold handle connector 2226 and hold handle cup 2228.
  • the hold handle assembly may compress O-ring 2230 for sealing delivery system 2200.
  • a luer connector may allow for device flushing.
  • the flush mechanism may be used to remove trapped air from the delivery system prior to its insertion into the body.
  • the flush mechanism may be used to cool down a stent (e.g., nitinol stent) prior to its release and/or recapture by flushing the stent with a cold saline solution. Cooling down the stent may cause a reversible modification of its structure, thus reducing its Young- modulus and therefore the stent radial force and the forces necessary for its delivery and recapture.
  • Delivery system 2200 is said to be in an open position (FIG. 22C) when (for example) push handle 2210 contacts the hold handle cup 2228.
  • the stent- valve (2212, 2214) may detach from stent holder 2222 and fully expand at an implantation site.
  • the stent-valve Prior to delivery system 2200 reaching the open position, the stent-valve may be crimped onto delivery system 2200 by means of a crimping machine (for example) and held in place by stent holder 2222.
  • Stent holder 2222 may affix to the attachment elements of the stents shown in Figures 8A-16.
  • the crimped stent-valve may be maintained in a collapsed configuration by pulling back the first assembly thus covering the attachment components/stent holder 2222 with outer sheath 2206. Once the outer sheath 2206 is removed such that it no longer constrains the attachment components, the stent-valve may automatically detach from stent holder 2222 due to the self-expanding property of the stent- valve. Delivery system 2200 is said to be in a closed position (FIGS. 22A and 22B) when outer sheath 2206 fully encompasses the stent-valve (2212, 2214) such that no expansion of the stent-valve occurs.
  • Delivery system 2200 is said to be in a partially open position when (for example) push handle 2210 is partially pushed towards hold handle cup 2228.
  • the stent-valve (2212, 2214) is deployed proximally and still attached distally to stent holder 2222 via the attachment elements.
  • This allows for an accurate implantation/positioning of the stent-valve.
  • the stent-valve may be partially released proximal to the intended implantation site and slightly pushed distally until resistance is felt.
  • Final release of the stent-valve (2212, 2214) may occur by completely pushing the push handle towards hold handle cup 2228 so that delivery system 2200 reaches the open position.
  • Such a partially-open position is illustrated in FIG.
  • an imaging mechanism may be used to determine whether the stent-valve is positioned correctly at the implantation site.
  • roadmapping under fluoroscopy can be realized with angiography, intra-vascular ultrasound (IVUS), intra-cardiac echocardiography (ICE), trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) or other mechanism(s) or combination thereof, which imaging mechanism may be at least partially integral to or separate from the delivery system.
  • IVUS intra-vascular ultrasound
  • ICE intra-cardiac echocardiography
  • TEE trans-esophageal echocardiography
  • delivery system 2200 may revert to the closed position prior to retrieval from the patient's body, for example, by holding the first assembly and pushing the second assembly distally towards tip 2202/outer sheath 2206.
  • the handle for releasing the stent-valve may comprise a screw mechanism for transferring a rotational movement of the handle into a translational movement of the outer sheath.
  • This type of release system may allow for stepwise, more accurate stent release and recapturing as well as a reduction of the release force felt by the surgeon.
  • FIGS. 23A-23D show another example of a delivery system 2300 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Delivery system 2300 may be substantially similar to delivery system 2200 (FIG. 22) (e.g., closed position, FIGS. 23A and 23B; opened position, FIG. 23C), except delivery system 2300 may additionally include one or more folded balloons 2302 (e.g., proximal to the stent-valve).
  • FIGS. 23A-23D correspond to the same reference numerals in FIGS. 22A-22D, although the reference numerals have not been reproduced in FIGS. 23A-23D to avoid overcomplicating the drawings. The same applies to the stent delivery systems shown in FIGS.
  • Balloon 2302 may be inflated/deflated via an additional lumen in proximal outer shaft 2304, for example, to anchor the stent-valve (e.g., a non-self-expanding stent-valve) in place at an implantation site.
  • FIG. 23D shows a cross section "A-A" of the lumen structure shown in FIG. 23C.
  • the lumen structure includes 5- lumen tubing 2306 and inner shaft 2308. In other embodiments, other structures for lumen tubing 2306 may be used (e.g., bi-lumen tubing where the second lumen is used for balloon inflation and deflation).
  • Delivery system 2300 may also include access mechanism 2310 for balloon inflation/deflation, which may allow connection of a syringe or inflation device to inflate/deflate a balloon.
  • access mechanism 2310 for balloon inflation/deflation may allow connection of a syringe or inflation device to inflate/deflate a balloon.
  • tubing with an attached stop-cock may be connected to access mechanism 2310.
  • FIGS. 24A-24D show another example of a delivery system 2400 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • proximal outer shaft 2402 may have an increased diameter in comparison to the diameter of proximal outer shaft 2220 (FIG. 22).
  • the increased diameter may reduce bleeding when the delivery system is used without an introducer.
  • the increased diameter may match the internal diameter of the introducer which, in turn, may depend on the outer diameter of the outer sheath. Having no gap between the introducer and delivery system may reduce the risk of a potential retrieval issue of the delivery system through the introducer due to entrapped blood.
  • delivery system 2400 may include a floating tube 2404 that fills the gap between the inner and outer assemblies, thus reducing the risk of the inner assembly kinking under compression which would result in higher friction forces within the delivery system during stent recapturing.
  • Delivery system 2400 may be substantially similar to delivery system 2200 in all other respects (e.g., closed position, FIGS. 24A and 24B; opened position, FIG. 24C).
  • FIGS. 25 A-C show another example of a delivery system 2500 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Delivery system 2500 may include one or more balloons 2536 distal to the stent-valve.
  • Balloon(s) 2536 can be used for, for example, valvuloplasty prior to stent-valve implantation and/or post-dilation of the implanted stent-valve to improve the anchoring of the stent.
  • FIGS. 25B and 25C show the balloon(s) 2536 in closed and open positions, respectively.
  • the first assembly of delivery system 2500 may include tip 2502, inner balloon shaft 2504, outer sheath 2506, and floating tube 2508.
  • the second assembly may include inner shaft (distal) 2510, stent holder transition 2512, stent holder 2514, sleeve 2516, tapered transition shaft connector 2518, and outer shaft (proximal) 2520.
  • the handle assembly may include hold handle connector 2522, hold handle cup 2524, O-ring 2526, metal shaft 2528, and push handle 2530.
  • the balloon assembly may include outer shaft 2532, inner shaft 2534, balloon 2536, and Y connector 2538.
  • FIGS. 26A-C show another example of a delivery system 2600 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Delivery system 2600 may include an integrated introducer 2602, which may be an additional assembly that houses the second assembly.
  • the outer sheath of the delivery system is shown as 2604.
  • Introducer 2602 may include a connecting line 2606, a stopcock 2608 and a housing 2610 for the sealing membrane 2612.
  • Stopcock 2608 may serve as an access point for, for example, a syringe containing fluid (e.g., saline).
  • Connecting line 2606 may serve to transport the fluid from the syringe to the inner lumen of the introducer, and sealing membrane 2612 may seal the introducer from the outside environment.
  • FIG. 27 is a flowchart 2700 of illustrative stages involved in replacing a failed (e.g., native or artificial) valve in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention.
  • a stent-valve (e.g., single-stent-valve or double-stent-valve) may be removably attached to a delivery system.
  • a stent component e.g., attachment elements 808, FIG. 8B
  • a collapsing element e.g., outer sheath 2206, FIG. 22
  • the stent-valve may be delivered to an implantation site in a collapsed configuration.
  • FIG. 28A (“introduction” and "positioning") shows that stent-valve 2802, while still attached to the delivery system via stent holder 2804 and fully contained within outer sheath 2806, may be introduced to a patient's body along guide wire 2808 so that tip 2810 of the delivery system passes through failed valve 2812.
  • the delivery system may be manipulated forwards and/or backwards, for example, until the stent- valve is believed to be positioned correctly.
  • the stent-valve may be partially expanded, for example, to determine (stage 2708) whether the stent-valve is in fact positioned correctly and/or to test (stage 2710) whether the stent-valve is functioning properly.
  • FIG. 28A (“partial release") shows that outer sheath 2806 may be partially removed from proximal section 2814 of the stent-valve, while attachment elements 2816 of the stent-valve are still constrained by outer sheath 2806 onto stent holder 2804.
  • the stent-valve may be detached from the delivery system in order to cause the stent-valve to expand to its fully-expanded configuration.
  • FIG. 28C (“final release") shows that, upon removal of attachment elements 2816 and stent holder 2804 from within outer sheath 2806, attachment elements 2816 of stent-valve 2802 may detach from stent holder 2804 automatically (or in response to balloon inflation in other embodiments) thereby causing the stent-valve to expand to its fully-expanded configuration.
  • the second assembly of the delivery device may then be reunited with the first assembly/outer sheath and removed from the patient's body.
  • FIG. 28C (“delivery device retrieval") shows that the second assembly 2818 may be passed through replacement stent-valve 2802 towards the distal end of the stent-valve. Then, the reunited second assembly 2818 and first assembly/outer sheath 2806 may be passed through stent-valve 2802 again in the proximal direction before exiting the patient's body.
  • stage 2708 When the stent-valve is not positioned correctly (stage 2708), at stage 2714 the stent-valve may be reverted to the collapsed configuration and repositioned within the patient's body.
  • FIG. 28B An illustration of this scenario is illustrated in FIG. 28B ("stent recapturing/repositioning"), in which outer sheath 2806 is slid in the proximal direction over proximal section 2814 of the stent-valve in order to recapture the stent-valve.
  • the stent-valve is then repositioned and released such that fixation element 2820 of the stent-valve receives an annulus 2822 of the failed valve.
  • stage 2710 the stent-valve may be reverted to the collapsed configuration and removed from the patient's body.
  • stent-valves e.g., single-stent-valves and double-stent-valves
  • associated methods and systems for surgery are provided.
