Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a balloon catheter assembly that includes more than one balloon.
  • Obstructive vascular disease is the disruption of the normal flow of blood through the blood vessels, usually as a result of arterioscleroses, the accumulation of fatty plaque in the walls of arteries. Patients with arterioscleroses are at increased risk of stroke and heart attack.
  • Angioplasty is used to reopen a partially blocked blood vessel so that blood can flow through it again at a normal rate.
  • Angioplasties were originally performed by dilating the blood vessel with introduction of larger and stiff catheters. The complications that resulted from this approach led the researchers to develop ways to open the vessel with smaller devices.
  • the catheters used to performing angioplasty contain the balloon that is inflated to widen the vessel, and stents to be deployed within the arteries to prevent restenosis and provide structural support for the vessel to maintain a clear pathway. Some catheters are equipped with spinning wires or drill tips to clean out the plaque.
  • Major difficulties involved in Angioplasty include but not limited to are the bifurcation lesion and distal embolisation.
  • the difficulty subsists in the treatment of bifurcation lesion more particularly when the stenosis is at the ostium of one of the vessels.
  • the plaque shifts in to the adjoining bifurcated branch of the vessel, which is otherwise in normal state.
  • Such plaque shift may further lead to occlusion of the adjoining vessel /artery which is pathologically normal causing the detrimental effect to it.
  • the ostium of the adjoining vessel /artery can get occluded to such an extent that it does not allow the insertion of the guide wire and catheter for the treatment of such initially normal vessel / artery.
  • the "kissing balloon” technique was developed.
  • two balloon dilation catheters are used parallely, one catheter extending into one branch of the bifurcation and the other one extending into the other branch.
  • Balloons in both the branches, that is the stenosed branch and the adjacent normal branch are inflated to prevent the occlusion of the normal branch, which can become constricted.
  • the proximal ends of the balloons "kiss" or touch in the common trunk vessel / artery.
  • the disadvantage with such technique is that the effective diameter at the kissing proximal ends of the balloons may be too large causing the injury to the common vessel/artery.
  • a Y-shaped balloon is disposed at the distal end of a catheter which is inflated in a bifurcation to treat both passages simultaneously.
  • the proposed device may not be practical due to challenges of manufacturing a Y-shaped balloon, attaching the same to a catheter shaft, and properly positioning it at a bifurcated blood vessel.
  • the bifurcated catheter assembly comprises a main catheter shaft having a stiffer proximal portion, and a pair of flexible branch catheters attached to the distal portion having balloon on each of the branch catheters.
  • the balloons are held together to provide a low profile as the device is advanced over the tracking guide wire.
  • the balloons Upon reaching the bifurcated vessel, the balloons are separated and are advanced over separate guide wires into separate branches of the bifurcated vessel.
  • Such assembly uses two wires, two inflation kits and requires additional manpower to operate such multiple components. The maneuvering of such catheter and positioning of the balloon in the bifurcation will be difficult and challenging especially where the stenosis is just near the ostium. Besides both the balloon are semi compliant, which can cause injury to the normal vessel.
  • embolic materials such as thrombotic material and/or plaque, which have the potential of being carried distally by the blood stream into the blood vessels thereby extending further damage.
  • embolic materials such as thrombotic material and/or plaque
  • This material can cause serious complications. For example lose embolic material released within the ascending aorta, the arch, or carotid arteries may travel downstream to the brain, possibly causing stroke, which can lead to permanent injuries or even death of the patient.
  • the distal embolic protection devices currently available for use in angioplasty include different types of distal protection devices (DPD).
  • DPD distal protection devices
  • One of them is a 'balloon catheter system' that temporarily occludes the vessel distal to the lesion during the intervention, thereby capturing and aspirating the atheromatous and thrombotic debris liberated by the lesion before it reaches the capillary bed.
  • Another distal embolic protection device is a 'filter system' that does not occlude blood flow; instead, it preserves flow but captures thrombi (as little as 100 urn) through small pores.
  • a number of filter devices utilize an expandable filter mounted on the angioplasty guide wire to facilitate entrapment of particles and removal.
  • One of the devices available is Parodi Anti-Emboli SystemTM, which is an example of a catheter occlusion device that establishes protection by reversing blood flow in the target vessel.
  • Parodi Anti-Emboli SystemTM is an example of a catheter occlusion device that establishes protection by reversing blood flow in the target vessel.
  • the incomplete vessel occlusion with the filter devices may allow passage of debris through the holes of the filter devices. Besides after the saturation of debris within the filter, it may cause damage to the vessel. Also it necessitates use of another catheter to deploy and tale out the device. Further, it would be difficult and cumbersome to manipulate/remove filter device saturated with debris.
  • This catheter system includes two catheters namely a rapid exchange angioplasty catheter and an occlusion balloon catheter.
  • a releasable linking device holds the catheter system together as a unit.
  • the occlusion balloon is inflated within the stent to occlude the carotid artery and to prevent any embolic debris from traveling downstream from the treatment site.
  • the angioplasty balloon is inflated to dilate the stenosis and to complete the expansion of the stent.
  • the angioplasty catheter is withdrawn and any potential embolic debris is aspirated out through the lumen of the guiding catheter.
  • the occlusion balloon is deflated and the catheter system is withdrawn. Because of multiplicity of catheter units used, this catheter system is bulky, much complicated, and time consuming, which in turn keeps the artery closed for longer duration.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un ensemble pour cathéter à ballonnets dans lequel au moins l'un des ballonnets de l'ensemble pour cathéter est extrêmement souple et capable d'obstruer un vaisseau sanguin ou des vaisseaux sanguins au niveau d'une bifurcation en adoptant la forme de l'intérieur du vaisseau sanguin ou des vaisseaux sanguins au niveau de la bifurcation lorsque le ballonnet est gonflé. Le ballonnet extrêmement souple se dilate de manière élastique à une pression minimale aussi faible que 1,0 atm (101,325 KPa), ce qui permet d'exercer sensiblement moins de pression sur le vaisseau sanguin lorsque le ballonnet est gonflé in vivo ; cette moindre pression exercée permet de réduire la distension du vaisseau sanguin, de limiter ainsi potentiellement l'atteinte et l'irritation des zones de contact du vaisseau sanguin et de réduire l'abrasion et le dénudement du tissu sain endothélial ou endoluminal du vaisseau sanguin durant le traitement de sténose dans un vaisseau sanguin ou un vaisseau sanguin bifurqué.
