Definitions
- the present invention pertains generally to the filed of vascular filters for capturing embolic material in the blood flow. More particularly, the present invention relates to multilumen central access catheter having a vena cava filter at a distal end, a port proximal the filter and a port distal the filter and plural infusion ports.
- the proximal and distal ports permit measuring pressure and/or flow velocity across the filter as a determinant of extent of capture of embolic material in the filter or measuring flow rate at the position of the filter member as a positional indicator within the body.
- the proximal and distal ports also provide means for introducing a bioactive agent, such as an anticoagulant or thrombolytic agents, contrast medium, blood transfusions, fluids or medications.
- the multiple infusion ports also provide a means for introducing a flushing medium, such as saline, under elevated pressure to produce mechanical thrombolysis or induce thrombolysis by the infusion of thrombolytic agents directly to thrombus within the filter.
- IVC Inferior vena cava
- Retrievable filters are very similar in appearance to permanent filters, but with modifications to the caval attachment sites and/or hooks at one end that can facilitate their removal.
- Retrievable filters that are currently available in the United States include the G ⁇ nther Tulip (Cook Inc.), Opt Ease (Cordis Corp.), and Recovery nitinol filters (Bard Peripheral Vascular, Tempe, AZ) Lin PH, et al., Vena caval filters in the treatment of acute DVT. Endovascular Today 2005;Jan:40-50.
- the time limit of retrievability is in part dependant on the rate of endothelialization of the device, which typically occurs within 2 weeks. However, differences in design may extend the time period in which the filter may be safely retrieved.
- the rate of upper extremity DVT is on the rise. This is predominantly due to an increasing number of patients having short- and long-term upper extremity central venous access catheters. In one study, 88% of patients found to have an upper extremity DVT had a central venous catheter present at the site of thrombosis at the time of diagnosis or within the previous two weeks. Pulmonary embolism may complicate upper extremity DVT in 12-16% of cases. In patients who have such a complication or contraindication to anticoagulation, a filter can be safely placed immediately below the confluence of the brachiocephalic veins. However, misplacement of an SVC filter is theoretically more likely than with an IVC filter because of the relatively short target area for deployment.
- Vena cava filter placement frequently occurs concomitantly with central access line placement.
- central access catheter and a removable vena cava filter.
- a multi-lumen catheter coupled to a vena cava filter that is useful both as a central venous access catheter for administration of intravenous fluids, bioactive agents, contrast agents, flushing agents, pressurized fluids for mechanical thrombolysis and/or withdrawal of blood samples and for capture of thrombus or emboli.
- Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a filter geometry in which the proximal portion of the filter, relative to the axis of blood flow, has larger interstitial openings to permit thrombus or embolic material to flow into the filter, while the distal portion of the filter, again relative to the axis of blood flow, has relatively smaller interstitial openings that capture the thrombus or embolic material within the filter.
- the structure of the filter includes a greater open surface area exposed to the flow of embolic material into the filter at its proximal end, while the distal end has smaller open surface area exposed to the flow of embolic material to capture the embolic material in the distal end of the filter member.

- a central venous access filter (“CVAF") 10 that is composed generally of a multi-lumen central venous access catheter body 12 having a proximal port 32 associated with a first lumen 44 and a distal port 34 associated with a second lumen 42, a filter member 16, having a fixed proximal end 18 and a moveable distal end 20, is positioned generally intermediate the distal port 34 and the proximal port 32 and is generally concentric relative to the catheter body 12.
- CVAF central venous access filter
- An introducer sheath 22 is provided and provides a conduit for introducing the catheter body 12 and the filter member 16 in an unexpanded diametric state for delivery to a situs in the body. Prior to inserting the catheter and filter into the introducer sheath 22, the filter member 16 is constrained by a removable constraint (not shown), such as a sheath.
- the multi-lumen aspect of the inventive central venous access filter catheter 10 is shown more clearly in Figs. 2-5.
- the catheter body 12 has a proximal section 13 and distal section 14 which has a relatively smaller diametric profile than the proximal section 13.
- the first lumen 44 terminates at the proximal port 32, while the second lumen 42 terminates at the distal port 34.
- a central guidewire lumen 30 may be provided that extends the entire longitudinal length of the catheter body 12 and terminates at the distal end of the catheter body 12 at a distal guidewire opening 31 that permits the catheter body to track along a guidewire during a procedure.
- the central guidewire lumen 30 may also be used to introduce fluids, such as bioactive agents, intravenous fluids or blood transfusions.
- At least one of a plurality of infusion lumens 40 are provided, each having at least one infusion port 36 that passes through a wall of the catheter body 12.
- Bioactive agents, flushing fluids for flushing or under elevated pressures for mechanical thrombolysis of thrombus in the filter member 16, contrast agents or other fluids may be infused through the infusion lumens 40 and out of the at least one infusion port 36 to pass into the patient's venous system for either local or systemic effect.
- plural infusion ports 36 are provided with multiple ports 36 being provided in communication with a single infusion lumen 40 and spaced along a longitudinal axis of the catheter body 12.
- plural infusion ports 36 may be provided in a circumferentially spaced manner to provide for fluid infusion at points spaced around the circumference of the catheter body 12. In this manner, fluid infusion is provided along both the longitudinal axis and the circumferential axis of the catheter body 12 within the spatial area defined by and bounded by the filter member 16. Because the plural infusion ports 36 communicate with the spatial area defined by and bounded by filter member 16, fluids introduced through the infusion lumens 40 are directed immediately at thrombus caught within the filter member 16. This permits thrombolytic agents or high pressure mechanical thrombolysis using a pressurized saline flush to be introduced directly to the situs of thrombus capture within filter member 16.
- the preferred size of the introducer sheath 22 is an 8 Fr outer diameter (2.7 mm) while the preferred size of the catheter is a 6 Fr outer diameter (2.0 mm) with a diametric transition 15 between the proximal portion 13 and the distal portion 14 of the catheter body 12 corresponding to the thickness of the filter member 16.
- the outer surface of the filter member 16 is substantially co-planar with the outer diameter of the proximal portion 13 of the catheter body 12 about its entire circumference.
- the fixed proximal end 18 of filter 16 is positioned adjacent and in abutting relationship with the diametric transition 15, while the moveable distal end 20 of filter member 16 is concentrically positioned around the distal section 14 of catheter body 12 and is reciprocally moveable thereupon to accommodate diametric expansion of the filter member 16.
- a first radio-opaque marker 24 is provided at the distal end of the sheath 22 and a second radio-opaque marker 36 is provided at a distal tip 33 of the catheter body 12. It will be understood that when the sheath 22 is in its non-retracted delivery position, that the filter 16 will be covered and the first radio-opaque marker 24 and the second radio-opaque marker 36 will be adjacent or in close proximity with one another.
- Figs. 6-11 illustrate a second embodiment of the CVAF 50.
- CVAF 50 does not include the central guidewire lumen 30 of CVAF 10. Rather, while the general construct of CVAF 50 is similar to that of CVAF 10, a different configuration of the inner lumens is employed.

- each of the plural infusion lumens 56 are in fluid communication with plural ports 36 arrayed along both the longitudinal axis and the circumferential axis of the catheter body.
- This configuration provides for fluid infusion along both the longitudinal axis and the circumferential axis of the catheter body 12 and in direct communication with the space defined by the filter member 16 that captures thrombus.
- first catheter septum 51 is a generally diametrically and longitudinally extending member that divides the first lumen 54 from the second lumen 58 along the longitudinal axis of the catheter body 12.
- Second catheter septum 56 may comprise a generally U-shaped member that intersects the first catheter septum 51 at a lower aspect of the septum and is connected with an inner wall surface of the catheter body 12 at upper aspects of the septum 51 to define two infusion lumens in lateral regions of the catheter body 12.

- 14A-14H and 15A-15H consist of a plurality of first strut members 81, 92, 101, 111, 121, 131, 141 and 151, respectively, extending distally from the proximal end 18 of the filter member and a plurality of second strut members 83, 93, 103, 113, 123, 133, 143 and 153, respectively, extending proximally from the distal end 20 of the filter member, with a diametrically expansible hoop member 87, 97, 107, 117, 127, 137, 147, 157, respectively, interconnecting the distally extending strut members 81, 92, 101, 111, 121, 131, 141 and 151, respectively, with the proximally extending strut members 83, 93, 103, 113, 123, 133, 143 and 153.
- At least some distally extending strut members and at least some of the proximally extending strut members form linear elements that extend along the entire longitudinal axis of the respective filter member, with the hoop member being comprised of at least one undulating or serpentine ring structure.
- a plurality of distally extending strut members are provided spaced approximately 120 degrees apart from one and other about the circumference of the filter members, and the distally extending strut members bifurcating once or twice distally in a generally Y-shaped manner as in filter members 80, 130, 140 or 150, or the proximally extending strut members bifurcating proximally in a generally Y-shaped manner and interconnecting with the distally extending generally Y-shaped strut members to form a diamond-like pattern as in filter member 90.
- the hoop member is formed by the diamond-like pattern formed by the intersection of the plurality of struts.
- the hoop member is formed by at least one undulating or serpentine ring structure which is diametrically expansible.
- apical portions of each undulating or serpentine ring structure is interconnected by an interconnecting member 114, 124, 134, respectively, either with an adjacent ring structure, as hi filter member 110 or to a distal end 20 of the filter member itself.
- a longitudinally serpentine section 132 in filter 32 may be provided in conjunction with the interconnecting member 134, to afford greater expansive properties to the hoop member 137.
- Each of the foregoing embodiments of the filter member are characterized by a filter having a greater open surface area exposed to the flow of embolic material into the filter at its proximal end, while the distal end has smaller open surface area exposed to the flow of embolic material to capture the embolic material in the distal end of the filter member. Additionally, each of the foregoing embodiments of the filter member are self-centering to provide proper apposition and centering with a blood vessel and maximize the flow dynamics of the filter member within the blood vessel for purposes of capturing embolic material within the struts of the filter. [0048] As noted above, the proximal 32 and distal 34 ports serve as means for measuring flow rates or pressure differentials across the filter 16.
- flow sensors and/or pressure transducers 19 in operable association with each port 32, 34, with the associated electrical connections to the flow sensors an/or pressure transducers 19 passing through the respective lumens associated with each port 32, 34 and terminating at the proximal end of the catheter body 12.
- flow sensors 19 are employed, a single flow sensor associated with proximal port 32, the distal port 34 or the distal end of sheath 22 may be sufficient to detect fluid flow rate at the position of the catheter body 12.
- the clinician will be able to determine flow velocity at the distal end of the introducer sheath 22 prior to introducing the catheter body 12 and make fine adjustments to the placement of the distal end of the introducer sheath 22 to ensure proper placement for the filter member 16.
- Plural flow sensors 19 may be employed and operably associated with each of proximal port 32 and distal port 34 to sense changes in flow velocity across the filter member 16.
- the flow sensors and/or pressure transducers 19 may reside in communication with the lumens respectively associated with each port 32, 34 at the proximal end of the catheter body 12, thereby eliminating the need for electrical connectors resident with the associated lumens.
- wireless flow sensors and/or pressure transducers may be provided in communication with each port 32, 34, and be operably coupled to a power source and a transmitter to wirelessly transmit telemetry data from the transducers to a wireless receiver in communication with the transmitter, as is known in the art.
- flow rate increases proximally within the venous system. For example a flow rate of 1 L/min is typical in one femoral vein, increases to 2 L/min in the inferior vena cava and increasing another 0.7 to 1 L/min proximate the renal veins. Knowing the typical flow velocities in vessels of different transverse cross-sectional areas, coupled with a flow sensor 19 associated with the multi-lumen catheter body 12 may serve to supplement or replace the requirements for fluoroscopy or sonography in placement of the CVAF 10, 50.
- sensors such as, for example, chemosensors, color sensors, electrical sensors or biosensors, may be employed in lieu of or in addition to pressure transducer and/or a flow sensor 19 in order to detect other changes or conditions within the patient's vasculature.
- color sensors exist that sense color changes in thrombus, such color changes may be displayed and interpreted by the medical practitioner as an indication of thrombus staging.
- Analyte sensors such a as a glucose sensor or an oxygen saturation sensor may also be employed.
- the filter member 16 may be fixed to the catheter body 12 or may be removably coupled to the catheter body 12 for deployment as a temporary and retrievable vena cava filter. Removable coupling of the filter member to the catheter body 12 may be accomplished with a variety of release and retrieval mechanisms operably associated the catheter body 12 and proximate the diametric transition 15.
- Non- limiting examples of such release and retrieval mechanisms include a wire release that engages with a the proximal end 18 of the filter, a cooperating indexed detent and projection interaction between the catheter body 12 and the proximal end 18 of the filter, such as a detent in the proximal end of the filter and a cooperating projection in the multi-lumen catheter that is positionally indexed to the detent and releasable from the detent, or, alternatively, a helical slot or threads may be formed in the proximal end 18 of the filter and indexed and cooperating projection in the multi-lumen catheter than permits engagement and disengagement with the helical slot or threads.
- the introducer sheath 22 is first placed into the body in a normal manner for introducing a central venous line. Specifically, after accessing a vein using a large bore needle, under local anesthesia, a guidewire is inserted through the needle bore and passed into the vein. Once the guidewire is positioned, the needle is withdrawn, and a dilator together with the introducer sheath 22 introduced over the guidewire. Once the introducer sheath 22 is positioned at a desired location within the venous system under radiography, the dilator may be removed from the patient. The first radio-opaque marker 24 assists in positional visualization of the distal end of the introducer sheath 22.
- the constraining sheath covering the filter 16 is removed while introducing the filter member 16 and catheter body 12 into the introducer sheath 22, which constrains the filter member 16 during its passage through the introducer sheath 22. Once the distal end of the catheter body 12 reaches the distal end of the introducer sheath 22, the filter is deployed. If the filter therapy alone is desired, the filter member 16 is detached from the catheter body 12 and the catheter body 12, introducer sheath 22 and guidewire is withdrawn from the patient. Where both central venous access and filter therapy is desired, the introducer sheath 22 and catheter body 12 with the filter member 16 is left in the patient until withdrawal is required.
- Retrieval and removal of a detached filter member 16 is accomplished using a second procedure under local anesthesia which substantially replicates the placement of the CVAF, with a capture sheath (not shown), similar to introducer sheath 22, being introduced, a retrieval catheter being introduced through the sheath, and engaging the filter member 16, then withdrawn into the capture sheath to collapse the filter member 16, with the entire assembly of the filter member 16, catheter body 12, capture sheath and guidewire, if used, is withdrawn from the patient.
- a central venous access filter in accordance with the foregoing embodiments of the invention which include, generally, a multi-lumen catheter body, a filter member and an introducer sheath.
- the multi-lumen catheter body has a plurality of ports each of which are in fluid flow communication with at least one lumen in the multi-lumen catheter body.
- Lumens may include a central guidewire lumen useful for tracking over a guidewire and/or larger volume infusion of bioactive agents, intravenous fluids, blood transfusions, or other fluids; infusion lumens in communication with infusion ports positioned to direct fluids to the space bounded by the filter member for introducing bioactive agents, including thrombolytic agents or flushing agents, including pressurized fluids for mechanical thrombolysis directly to the capture site of the thrombus in the filter member; and lumens communicating with proximal and distal ports which may also be used for fluid introduction and/or may house or communicate with sensors, such as pressure transducers, flow sensors, analyte sensors, color sensors, or the like.
- sensors such as pressure transducers, flow sensors, analyte sensors, color sensors, or the like.
- the filter member may be detachable from the multi-lumen catheter body to permit temporary filter placement and later retrieval by a detachment mechanism that cooperates between the filter and the multilumen catheter body.
