Description

心脏瓣膜传送系统
技术领域
本发明涉及用于将人工瓣膜(prosthetic valve)传送至心脏的系统。更具体地,本发明涉及改良的用于将人工瓣膜传送至人心脏的可操纵的传送系统。
背景技术
导管是本领域公知的,并且通常被用于到达身体内的各个部位,而这些部位是通过外科手术不容易到达的,或者希望不通过手术到达的。导管的有用性很大程度上受到导管能成功地操纵通过小血管和周围的急弯的能力的限制,例如在主动脉弓的周围。
多年来,已经推出各种有利于穿过复杂血管的可操纵导管。举例来说,一些公知的装置使用了一系列相连的片段,每一片段具有这样的形状,这样的形状允许导管形成弯的部分以有利于满足特定的需要。然而,使用许多相连的片段是复杂且昂贵的。
以下这种装置也是本领域公知的,其中从中空的通管丝中已经取出某些部分,因此允许该中空丝在已经取出某些部分的区域弯曲。然而,这种类型的已知器件被用作通管针,而且已经不适合用在可操纵导管上。
这种装置是本领域公知的,其中弹带被应用到可操纵导管里,其中一个弹带具有与该器件弯曲方向相反的自然弯曲,因此使得该器件具有稳定性。然而,这些带给该器件增加了不必要的复杂性,并且因此对于许多应用是不期望的。
尽管多年来已经推出各种可弯曲并且可操纵的器件,但是现统,其有利于移植和/或治疗装置穿过病人的血管前进至治疗部位。期望这样的系统克服与现有装置相关的缺点。也期望这样的系统是通用的、可靠的并且易于使用。本发明正是用于解决这种需求。
发明内容
本发明优选的实施方式提供了一种心脏瓣膜传送系统,其将人工(即替换)心脏瓣膜传送至人体脉管系统内原来的瓣膜位置。该传送系统包括传送套管组件,其具有可操纵部件以有利于穿过这些弯曲。该系统非常适合于通过主动脉(即以逆行方法)推进人工瓣膜,以替换狭窄的主动脉瓣膜。
在一个优选的实施方式中,该心脏传送系统包括管状套管、与该套管远端连接的选择性地可操纵的部分、延伸穿过该套管和可操纵部件的伸长球状导管和沿着该伸长气囊导管的远端部分置于可膨胀球上方的人工瓣膜。该套管、可操纵部件、气囊导管和人工瓣膜被装配成单个组件,所述组件前进穿过病人的脉管系统。在前进期间,该人工瓣膜被置于该可操纵部件远端部分的附近,并且如果需要可从那里被推进。
在一种变例中,该心脏瓣膜传送系统的套管包括沿该套管的一边延伸的第一和第二外腔。拉线穿过第一外腔,途经该可操纵部件直到该操纵部分的远端部分,并且通过可操纵部件和通过第二外腔返回。该拉线优选地通过旋转手柄组件启动,其中该旋转手柄组件位于该套管附近。
在另一变例中,该可操纵部件包括具有第一直的位置和第二弯曲的位置的有槽管。该可操纵部件可以形成为不锈钢假管的至少一部分。在一个优选的实施方式中,该套管由聚醚嵌段酰胺(polyetherblock amide)形成,被称为Pebax,并且包括靠近其远端的软的硬度计(soft durometer)Pebax
Figure 2006800211769_1
该人工瓣膜可位于可操纵部件的远端,以致使可操纵部件的远端部分毗连于人工瓣膜的近端。可选地,罩可以与可操纵部件的远端连接。在进入病人的脉管系统期间,该罩环绕在人工瓣膜的至少一部分上。
在另一实施方式中,心脏瓣膜传送系统包括具有主腔的传送套管组件、形成传送套管组件的可操纵部件的有槽管,该可操纵部件具有第一构件,其中的可操纵部件是直的,和第二构件,其中的可操纵部件是弯曲的。该可操纵部件用盖子封套,其中该盖子是可伸长的,如此以致该盖子使该可操纵部件从第二构件偏斜至第一构件。伸长气囊导管延伸穿过该传送套管组件的主腔,并且人工瓣膜被安装到位于气囊导管的远端的气囊上。该可操纵部件优选地通过拉线起作用,其是通过安装于该传送套管组件的近端的旋转手柄启动。该盖子优选地用软的刚性体聚醚嵌段酰胺制成,所述聚醚嵌段酰胺被称为Pebax

。该套管优选地用聚醚嵌段酰胺制成,并且包括靠近其远端的软硬度计Pebax
Figure 2006800211769_3
在另一实施方式中,将人工瓣膜传送至病人原来的瓣膜位置的方法涉及将人工瓣膜置于气囊导管的气囊上,以及将该气囊导管置于具有可操纵部件的传送套管组件的内部,所述可操纵部件通过沿该传送套管组件的长度的拉线来启动并且被连接到手柄的移动构件上。该人工瓣膜这样被推至原来的瓣膜位置的:通过推该瓣膜,穿过病人的髂和股动脉,到达主动脉弓之上,并且直到原来的瓣膜位置,由此当手柄以第一方向旋转时,该移动构件拉此拉线使得该可操纵部件弯曲,并且当手柄以第二方向旋转时,该移动构件松开拉线,允许该传送套管组件变得刚直,以使该可操纵部件伸直。到达原来的瓣膜位置时,该气囊被充气使人工瓣膜展开。
在一种变例中,当可操纵部件被弯曲时人工瓣膜被推穿过主动脉瓣膜位置的狭窄小叶。在另一变例中,该气囊导管相对于该传送套管组件被远端地推进,直到该人工瓣膜位于原来的瓣膜位置内。该人工瓣膜优选地包括支撑瓣膜结构的展幅部分。因为该传送套管组件提供可操纵性,在前进到主动脉弓上方的期间该展开部分的外表面可以基本上被暴露,而没有损伤主动脉。为了增强的推力,当将人工瓣膜推进至原来的瓣膜位置时,该可操纵部件的远端毗连展开部分的近端。
在另一实施方式中,将人工瓣膜传送至原来的瓣膜位置的方法包括将可膨胀的人工瓣膜置于沿着气囊导管的远端部分的气囊上,以及将该气囊导管置于具有可操纵部件的传送套管组件的内部,所述可操纵部件通过拉线来启动,并且当选择性地调整可操纵部件的弯曲以利于前进时,将人工瓣膜和传动套管组件基本上作为单个的单元推向原来的瓣膜位置。当人工瓣膜采用逆行的方法(即在主动脉弓上方)被推进时,在定位到主动脉弓之后,该人工瓣膜可以被推到传送套管组件的外面。更特别地,该人工瓣膜可能从该传送套管组件被推到原来的瓣膜位置里。该气囊被充气以使可膨胀人工瓣膜展开。

气囊导管15如图16所示被装配。导向线轴248被插入到主轴开口300内。导向线轴248的近端被置于丝线开口296内,并且导向线轴248的外表面262被固定到丝线入口开口296的内表面302上,例如通过粘附。导向线轴248具有比主轴开口300小的直径,并且因为这样,不会接触到主轴开口300的内表面。
气囊轴250被置于导向线轴248的上方。气囊250的近端266被置于支架17的主轴开口300里,并且气囊轴250的外表面272被固定到主轴开口300的内表面304上。如图1 6所示,导向线轴248具有比气囊轴250小的直径,并且导向线轴248的外表面262不会接触到气囊轴的内表面270,以允许空气流动。

传送套管组件18通过将套管19和可操纵部件20连接制成。套管19的远端143被插入盖子148的通道186和弯曲管146的通道154内,如图10所示。套管19相对于可操纵部件16被定位,使得第一和第二外腔140、141与弯曲管146的伸长开口166的弯曲部分170对准。套管19的外表面144被固定到弯曲管146的内表面上,例如通过热和粘合剂连接。另外,倒钩164可以与套管19的远端143啮合,以使其连接。通过粘合剂或通过热连接,盖子148的内表面184也被固定到盖子148近端178处的套管19的外表面上。
在涉及连接器188的可选实施方式(参见图12)中,套管19的外表面144在其远端被固定到朝向连接器188近端190的连接器188的内表面198上。套管19的远端143毗连于连接器188的环状凸缘196。
罩部分21也被连接到可操纵部件20上,以构成传送套管组件18(参见图10)。罩200的近端206在盖子148的远端180处被插入到盖子148的通道186内。罩200的近端206在弯曲管146的远端160处进一步被插入到弯曲管146的通道154内。罩200的狭槽214与弯曲管146的凹口176对准(也参见图11和14A)。
边缘204区域内的罩200的外表面218被固定到弯曲管146的内表面150上。该环202的近端外表面226在靠近弯曲管146的远端160处被固定到弯曲管146的内表面150上。弯曲管146的远端160与环202的外表面232毗连。罩部分21可用机械结合物和粘合剂被固定到弯曲管146上。

当套管19的近端142被插入到彀30的通道88内并且套管19的外表面144被固定到彀30的内表面上,例如通过粘合剂时,传送套管组件18被连接到手柄22上。
图2中所示的拉线312被插入到传送系统10里。拉线312的第一端被置于第一中心构件26的第一紧固件开口44里。第一中心构件紧固件(未示出)将压力施加在球轴承122上,其将拉线312稳固在第一紧固件开口44里。拉线312穿过第一中心构件26纵向延伸的检修孔46(参见图3B)。拉线312穿过位于第一中心构件26的狭槽40里的引导管32的通道、板层134的引导管开口138、和第二中心构件29的狭槽82,并且然后穿过彀30的通道88。然后,拉线312穿过套管19的第一内腔140(参见图9)。拉线312离开套管19并且穿过弯曲管146的通道154(参见图10)。拉线312穿过第一半圆筒凹槽244和环202的第一内腔240。拉线312靠着环202的狭槽面238被拉紧。然后拉线312被返回穿过第二内腔242和环202的第二半圆筒凹槽246。拉线312再次穿过弯曲管146的通道154。拉线312穿过传送套管19的第二外腔141、彀30的通道88(再次)、引导管32的通道(再次)和第一中心构件26的狭槽40的检修孔46。借助球轴承122上第一中心构件紧固件(未示出)所施加的压力,其稳固拉线312,拉线312的第二末端被固定到第一中心构件26上。
现在参考图1和16,现在将更详细地描述心脏瓣膜传送系统10优选的使用方法。本文所公开的装置和方法特别适合代替狭窄的主动脉瓣膜。本领域技术人员将认识到:在将人工瓣膜在主动脉瓣膜内展开之前使狭窄的主动脉瓣膜预膨胀(pre-dilate)可能是必须的。预膨胀增加了通过主动脉瓣膜的流通面积并且产生足够大小的小叶开口以容纳人工瓣膜。预膨胀优选地使用可膨胀构件来实现,例如膨胀气囊导管。与预膨胀和瓣膜代替有关的另外的详情可在申请人2002年5月2日提交的共同未决申请序列号10/139,741中找到。
现在将描述心脏瓣膜传送系统10的装配和操作。在装配期间,气囊导管15被插入到手柄22的组件和传送套管组件18所产生的开口内。气囊导管15的支架17位于手柄22的近侧。气囊轴250和导向线轴248穿过端帽23的通道130(参见图2)、第一中心构件26的通道33、板层134的中央开口136、第二中心构件29的通道78、彀30的通道88、套管19的中心腔139和弯曲管146的通道154。依照图18A,气囊轴250穿入罩200的通道213内,而导向线轴248穿过罩200的通道213。气囊252的近端276位于罩200的通道213里,并且气囊252从罩200的远端210向远侧延伸。
如图18A所示,从罩200的远端210的远侧,人工瓣膜11被安装到气囊252的主圆筒部分290。如图1所示,瓣膜11在本领域是公知的并且可收缩到气囊252的第一位置。可选地,瓣膜11可被安装到气囊252上并且被置于罩200内,如图18B所示。
瓣膜11可采取各种不同的形式。在优选的实施方式中,该瓣膜一般包括可膨胀展幅部分,其支撑瓣膜结构。该展伸部分具有足够的半径强度以支持治疗位点处的瓣膜并且抵抗狭窄的瓣膜小叶的反作用力。与优选的气囊可膨胀瓣膜实施方式相关的另外详情可在申请人的美国专利号6,730,118和6,893,460中找到,每篇专利的名称都为“可植入的人工瓣膜(IMPLANTABLRE PROSTHETIC VALVE)”,其以引用的方式并入本文。也应被理解的是,自膨胀人工瓣膜可以与传送系统一起使用。举例来说,当使用自膨胀瓣膜时,推进器可用气囊导管代替,以将自膨胀瓣膜从传送套管组件中推出。
继续参考示例性的实施方式,导向线(guide wire)14被置于导向线轴248的通道264里,如此以致它从导向线轴248的远端258向远侧延伸并且从气囊导管15的支架17的线入口开口296向近侧延伸。为了跟踪而将导管插入人身体的方法在本领域是公知的,例如可通过名称为“脉管内传送系统(ENDOVASCULAR DELIVERYSYSTEM)”的美国专利号5,968,068了解该方法,其以引用方式被并入本文。
导向线14通过扩张器(未示出)被置于身体内,所述扩张器使身体脉管的内径膨胀,以将导入器鞘组件400引入到导向线14上方,如图19所示。优选的扩张器直径在12与22弗伦奇(French)之间的范围内。该导入器鞘组件400包括导入器套管402和连接于导入器套管402近端的导入器室404。优选的是22或24弗伦奇的导入器鞘组件直径。
一系列瓣膜位于导入器室404的内部。在导入器室404的近端,端件406被粘附,端件406具有延伸到一系列瓣膜区域内的导入器室404内的开口,和面向导入器室404远端的脊408。导入器套管402延伸入身体脉管内,导入器室404位于身体脉管近端外部导入器套管402的近端。在优选的实施方式中,导入器套管402涂有亲水涂料并且延伸到身体脉管内大约9英寸,正好经过髂骨的杈并且进入病人的腹部主动脉。导入鞘组件400以安全有效的方式提供将人工瓣膜推进主动脉的机构。
参考图20,装载组件500包括装载器502、装载帽502和装载密封506。装载器502是管状的,其近端处具有外部螺纹508,以与装载帽504连接。装载器502包括挠性凸缘510,其与装载器502平行延伸并且具有面向装载器502近端的铆钉纹512。装载帽504包括其近端处的装载帽开口514和与装载器502的外部螺纹508啮合的螺纹内表面516。装载密封506被固定到装载帽504上,并且将装载密封开口518与装载帽开口514对准。
参考图21A,当套管19与装载帽开口514和装载密封开口518啮合时,装载帽504和装载密封506被传到传送系统10上。如图21B所示,传送系统10的远端,其传到导向线14之上,被插入到装载器502的近端内。装载帽504旋到装载器502的近端上。
参考图22,装载器502的挠性凸缘510吸到导入器室404的端件406里。在这个位置,端件406的脊408将压力施加在挠性凸缘510的扣脊512上,并且装载器502穿过位于导入器室404内部的系列瓣膜,因此放置传送系统10与导入器鞘的内通道连通并且因此与身体脉管连通。装载器组件500有利地允许传送系统10引入导入器鞘组件400内,而病人基本上没有血液损失。
人工瓣膜11、气囊导管15和传送套管组件18(优选地作为单个单元)被推进到导向线14之上通过导入器鞘,同时跟踪穿过身体脉管直到原来的瓣膜位置(参见图1)。在一个有优势特征中,传送系统10提供优良的推力,使得有利于人工瓣膜11前进穿过导入器鞘。在一个实施方式中,传送系统10提供足够的推力使其推过导入器鞘,所述导入器鞘具有比瓣膜11或罩200的外周长小2弗伦奇大小的内周长。
当人工瓣膜11到达如图1所示的主动脉弓13时,下面所述的传送系统10的可操纵功能被开启,以利于瓣膜11前进到所述弓的周围。更具体地,可操纵部件20的弯曲有助于控制瓣膜11和/或罩200的远端210(参见图14A)远离主动脉弓13的内表面。因此,可以实现在主动脉弓13周围瓣膜11倒退的推进,而不损伤主动脉13和瓣膜11。在一个优选的传送方法中,该瓣膜被推进到主动脉弓上方,瓣膜与主动脉之间存在很少或没有接触。
在该示例性的实施方式中,当操作者旋转旋转手柄28(参见图2)时,传送系统10的可操纵功能被完成。当旋转手柄28被旋转时,螺纹部分68与部分带螺纹构件27的外螺纹54(参见图4A)相连接,所述部分带螺纹构件没有旋转。因此旋转手柄28相对于部分带螺纹构件27直线运动。第一中心构件26相对于部分带螺纹构件27也直线运动(参见图2)。销钉124防止第一中心构件26与部分带螺纹构件27之间的相对旋转。
当第一中心构件26从部分带螺纹构件27向远侧移动时,拉线312,其通过球轴承122被连接到第一中心构件26上,在环202的狭槽面238上施加一个力(参见图15A)。拉线312将环202拉向手柄22。当弯曲管146的伸长开口166会聚(参见图11)时,传送系统10的边沿着可操纵部件20弯曲,拉线312沿着所述边穿过。可操纵部件20弯曲直到拉线312上的压力被解除。因此旋转手柄28另外的旋转导致另外的弯曲。旋转手柄28的螺纹部分68与部分带螺纹构件27的外部螺纹54(参见图4A和5B)之间的摩擦足以使拉线312绷紧,因此当操作者松开旋转手柄28时保留可操纵部件20的弯曲形状。
盖子148(参见图10)固有的刚性以及气囊导管15(参见图16)固有的刚性,对可操纵部件20的弯曲起相反的作用。拉线312上的力使可操纵部件20弯曲,而上述盖子148和气囊导管15的刚性抵抗此弯曲,因此根据旋转手柄28的旋转,将传送系统10“锁”在从直到完全弯曲的位置区域的位置。盖子148也将保护身体脉管免受弯曲管146的作用(参见图10),当不存在盖子148时所述弯曲管可能会擦伤或另外割裂身体脉管。
当气囊导管15被推进原来的瓣膜位置时,根据本领域众所周知的荧光检查方法操作者使用标记带306、308(参见图16)来鉴别瓣膜20的位置。通过开启旋转手柄28同时保持彀30不变(参见图2),操作者可调整瓣膜11的位置。通过转动彀30可实现对瓣膜位置的进一步控制。套管19被连接于彀30上,并且传送系统10的刚性足够使其旋转移动至远端。当弯曲管146的管部分174(参见图11)相互接触时,旋转运动通过可操纵部件20被转移。当弯曲管完全被弯曲时这样的接触可能会发生,或者在旋转期间这样的接触可能发生,因为伸长开口的弯曲部分170靠拢致使管部分174相互接触。
当弯曲管148所有剩余的管部分174(参见图11)相互接触并且可操纵部件20被完全弯曲时,传送套管组件18(参见图1)处于其最刚硬状态。在这个位置,为了容易跟踪,可操纵部件20的形状优选地与主动脉弓13的形状(如图1所示)最对应。当推过狭窄瓣叶12时,可操纵部件20位于病人向上的主动脉内,并且套管19的软硬度计部分弯曲并且正对着主动脉弓伸展(参见图1),因此防止主动脉的内壁受到损害。
在该传送系统10已经被推进使得瓣膜11位于原来的瓣膜附近之后,气囊导管15可以相对于该传送套管组件18向远侧推进至原来的瓣叶内瓣膜11更好的位置上。为了完成这一点,气囊导管15滑动穿过套管19和可操纵部件20。在另一优点中,传送套管组件18有利于使医师调整可操纵部件20的弯曲,为了将人工瓣膜11相对于原来的瓣膜正确地对准。因此,当气囊导管15向远侧被推进时,人工瓣膜前进到原来的瓣膜中心里。此外,传送系统10提供足够的推力以将气囊瓣膜15和瓣膜11推着穿过狭窄瓣叶12,或可替换地推着气囊瓣膜15穿过狭窄瓣叶12。在这个过程中,该罩200(参见图14A)也可横过狭窄瓣叶12。
一旦狭窄瓣叶12已经被推离,该传送系统10使瓣膜11在原来的瓣膜位置展开,如图23所示。套管19的软硬度计部分正对着主动脉弓伸展,而可操纵部件20穿过上升的主动脉并且被调整以定位瓣膜11。瓣膜11是可膨胀的气囊,并且一旦定位,该气囊252被充气以将瓣膜11的位置稳固在原来的瓣膜位置。然后该气囊252被放气,并且当其拉回到导向线14上方并且通过导入器鞘离开身体脉管系统时,整个传送系统10被收回。然后导向线14被收回,接着是导入器鞘。
在本发明可选的实施方式中,其中瓣膜11被放置在罩200内部,一旦瓣膜11已经到达原来的瓣膜位置,该传送套管组件18(参见图1)被收回。当操作者将支架17稳定并且拉回(向近侧)到手柄22上,这使得该传送套管组件18向近侧收回,该传送套管组件18被收回,将瓣膜11暴露于原来的瓣膜位置并且允许气囊252如图23所示充气并且因此将瓣膜11如上所述展开。
应当理解的是,该心脏瓣膜传送系统10的实施方式提供了将人工瓣膜推着穿过病人脉管系统的改进装置和方法。在一个优选的实施方式中,本文所述部件的协作使得未覆盖的人工瓣膜以安全的方式被推着穿过病人的脉管系统以及主动脉弓周围。因此,该传送系统使得人工瓣膜前进到主动脉弓周围,而不需要向主动脉弓引入外鞘。这是一个优点,因为鞘的使用将增加传送系统的直径,因此使得瓣膜的传送复杂。除了提供通过主动脉的改进控制机构,而没有损伤主动脉的内壁,本领域普通技术人员将要理解的是:该转送系统提供了极好的推力,使得医师可以对人工瓣膜在前进到原来的瓣膜内期间的移动和位置进行极好的控制。当穿过狭窄瓣膜叶时这个特征特别地有利。因此,本发明所述的实施方式提供了改进的传送系统,其采用可操纵组件将人工瓣膜推进到原来的主动脉瓣膜位置上,所述可操纵组件消除了主动脉内外鞘的需要,同时提供的推力足以穿过窄的脉管系统和/或狭窄瓣膜叶。因此,本发明所述的实施方式提供改进的装置和方法,其采用逆行法将可膨胀气囊状的人工瓣膜经皮推到狭窄的主动脉瓣膜。
尽管本发明以其优选的实施方式已经被描述,要理解的是已经被使用的词是描述性的词并且不是限制性的。因此,在所附权利要求的范围内可进行变化,而没有背离本发明真实的范围和精神。
