Definitions
- Aneurysms occur in blood vessels in locations where, due to age, disease or genetic predisposition, insufficient blood vessel strength or resiliency may cause the blood vessel wall to weaken and/or lose its shape as blood flows it, resulting in a ballooning or stretching of the blood vessel at the limited strength/resiliency location, thus forming an aneurismal sac. Left untreated, the blood vessel wall may continue to expand to the point where the remaining strength of the blood vessel wall cannot hold and the blood vessel will fail at the aneurysm location, often with fatal result.
- a stent graft of a tubular construction may be introduced into the blood vessel and deployed and secured in a location within the blood vessel such that the stent graft spans the aneurismal sac.
- the outer surface of the stent graft, at its opposed ends, abuts and seals against the interior wall of the blood vessel at a location where the blood vessel wall has not suffered a loss of strength or resiliency.
- the stent graft channels the blood flow through the hollow interior of the stent graft, thereby reducing, if not eliminating, any stress on the blood vessel wall at the aneurismal sac location.
- Bifurcated medical devices may be implanted for the repair of an aneurysm at or in the vicinity of the aortic bifurcation.
- a bifurcated device comprises a main body and two tubular legs joining the main body in a bifurcation. In many instances, both the main body and each of the legs are stented. Due to this design, intravascular implantation may be complicated because the bifurcated device may have a relatively large delivery profile. A large delivery profile makes treating patients with tortuous anatomy or those having smaller arteries very difficult and, in some cases, impossible. A decrease in the delivery profile of a bifurcated device provides possibilities of treatment for these patients they made not have had. Additionally, a smaller more flexible device may reduce the incidence of iliac artery ruptures or damage. Summary of the Invention

- the body reinforcing portions together, have an expanded dimension that is generally equal to the expanded dimension of the outer graft body.
- an intraluminal medical device as specified in claim 11.
- the grafting system includes a first stage and a second stage.
- the first stage comprises a main graft having a body, a first branch extending distally from the body, and a second branch extending distally from the body.
- the second stage comprises a first extension graft and a second extension graft.
- the first extension graft reinforces the first branch and at least a portion of the main graft body and defines a first branch lumen.

- the preferred embodiments described below are directed to a medical device and method for bridging a defect in a main vessel near one or more branch vessels, for example at or in the vicinity of a bifurcation in the arterial system of a patient.
- the present disclosure is thus described below in reference to its application in connection with endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms and dissections. However, it is likewise applicable to any suitable endovascular treatment or procedure including, without limitation, endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections.
- all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. In case of conflict, the present document, including - A -
- Implantable refers to an ability of a prosthetic implant to be positioned, for any duration of time, at a location within a body, such as within a body vessel.
- implantation and “implanted” refer to the positioning, for any duration of time, of a prosthetic implant at a location within a body, such as within a body vessel.
- Body vessel means any tube-shaped body passage lumen that conducts fluid, including but not limited to blood vessels such as those of the human vasculature system, esophageal, intestinal, billiary, urethral and ureteral passages.
- Brain vessel refers to any vessel that branches off from a main vessel.
- the "branch vessels” of the thoracic and abdominal aorta include the iliac, celiac, inferior phrenic, superior mesenteric, lumbar, inferior mesenteric, middle sacral, middle suprarenal, renal, internal spermatic, ovarian (in the female), innominate, left carotid, and left subclavian arteries.
- the hypogastric artery is a branch vessel to the common iliac, which is a main vessel in this context.
- Stenor means any device or structure that adds rigidity, expansion force, or support to a prosthesis.
- Stent graft refers to a prosthesis comprising a stent and a graft material associated therewith that forms a lumen through at least a portion of its length.
- Biocompatible refers to a material that is substantially non-toxic in the in vivo environment of its intended use, and that is not substantially rejected by the patient's physiological system (i.e., is non-antigenic). This can be gauged by the ability of a material to pass the biocompatibility tests set forth in International Standards Organization (ISO) Standard No. 10993 and/or the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) 23 and/or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) blue book memorandum No.
- ISO International Standards Organization
- USP U.S. Pharmacopeia
- FDA Food and Drug Administration
- G95-1 entitled "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing.” Typically, these tests measure a material's toxicity, infectivity, pyrogenicity, irritation potential, reactivity, hemolytic activity, carcinogenicity and/or immunogenicity.
- a biocompatible structure or material when introduced into a majority of patients, will not cause a significantly adverse, long-lived or escalating biological reaction or response, and is distinguished from a mild, transient inflammation which typically accompanies surgery or implantation of foreign objects into a living organism.
- “Inextensible” means substantially incapable of being extended or stretched under typical physiological loads. In one example, an inextensible material may have a stretch ratio not greater than 1.1. Stretch ratio is defined as the ratio of a material's deformed length to undeformed (e.g., no strain) length.
- Extensible means capable of being extended or stretched under typical physiological loads.
- Medical devices may be any devices that are introduced temporarily or permanently into the body for the prophylaxis or therapy of a medical condition, for example abdominal aortic aneurysms.
- Typical subjects also referred to herein as "patients" are vertebrate subjects (i.e., members of the subphylum cordata), including, mammals such as cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, horses, dogs, cats and humans.

- the medical device may then be implanted at the point of treatment by advancing the catheter over a guide wire to the location of the lesion, aligning the medical device with any branch vessels, and then withdrawing the sheath from over the medical device.
- the medical device may expand and seal against the wall of the blood vessel at the site of treatment.
- the catheter, sleeve, and guide wire may then be removed from the patient.
- the main graft 20 may be delivered endovascularly to a lesion site in a compressed, or unexpanded, delivery configuration.
- a compressed main graft may be delivered via a 9 Fr to about 14 Fr sheath to a location immediately distal the renal arteries.
- the sheath may be withdrawn, deploying the main graft 20.
- the main graft 20 may be held in place at the treatment location by anchor 28 at the delivery location.
- the main graft may expand due to blood flow through the main graft 20, similar to a wind sock effect.
- the first extension graft 50 and second extension graft 60 may be delivered endovascularly to the treatment location.
- the first extension graft 50 may be compressed to a delivery configuration in a sheath and delivered to a location near the main graft proximal end 21.
- the sheath may be withdrawn allowing the first extension graft 50 to expand.
- the first branch 26 may be cannulated prior to delivery of the first extension graft 50.
- the second extension graft 60 may be compressed to a delivery configuration in a sheath and delivered to a location near the main graft proximal end 21. Upon locating the second extension graft 60, the sheath may be withdrawn allowing the second extension graft 60 to expand.
- the second branch 27 may be cannulated via an up-and-over guide catheter prior to delivery of the second extension graft 60. After placement, the first extension graft 50 and second extension graft 60 may expand in the main graft.
- the branch reinforcing portion 52 may expand and seal the first extension graft 50 in the main graft first branch 26 and the second branch reinforcing portion 62 may expand and seal the extension graft 60 in the main graft second branch 27.
- the first extension graft body reinforcing portion 51 and second extension graft body reinforcing portion 61 may expand within the main graft body 23.
- the body reinforcing portions 51 , 61 may interact with one another to provide sealing forces about the main graft 20.
- the first extension graft body reinforcing portion 91 interferes with the second extension graft body reinforcing portion 92 within the main graft 90.
- Figure 6A depicts the first extension graft body reinforcing portion 91 and the second extension graft body reinforcing portion 92 having a D-shaped radial contour within the main graft 90.
- the first extension graft body reinforcing portion 91 and the second extension graft body reinforcing portion 92 may expand asymmetrically in the main graft 90, as depicted in Figure 6B.
- a balloon may be used to position the body reinforcing portions to provide optimal alignment of the body reinforcing portions 91, 92.
- any voids 93 within with main graft may fill with fluid and, in one example, the fluid will clot and prevent any possible fluid leakage.
- the preferred embodiments described above provide for the reduction in profile of an introducer, typically from more than 20 French to 14 French or less, by delivering the stent graft in successive stages, in which each stage supplements the previous one or ones.
- the main body of the device has a much shorter length than similar devices, such as the Applicant's ZenithTM main body and its contralateral and ipsilateral limbs are of the same length.
- the main body segment also includes a stent at the proximal (closest to the heart) end of its main body portion and no supporting stents along the rest of its extent, particularly not in the limbs.
- the leg extensions used in the preferred embodiments serve many purposes, including but not limited to: a) extending the length of the device from the abdominal aorta past the iliac bifurcation and into the left and right common iliac arteries to exclude backflow of blood in an aneurysm; b) providing adequate circumferential radial force (distal to the faux attachment stent of the main body segment) to create a seal between the healthy aortic tissue and the diseased aneurismal tissue, thus excluding blood flow into the aneurism; c) act as reinforcing structures to the stentless main body segment. This can allow the lumen of the main body segment to remain patent in the vessel even in cases of tortuous aortic anatomy.
