Description
Medizinische Gefäßstützen haben die Aufgabe, die Gefäßwand optimal
abzustützen. Nach Aufdehnung mit Hilfe eine Ballons wird ein
bestimmtes Innenlumen der Gefäßstütze erzielt. Nach Ablassen des
Ballons sollte diese Gefäßstütze möglichst dieses erzielte Innenlumen
halten. Aufgrund der elastischen Rückstellkräfte der Wand, aber auch
der elastischen Rückstellkräfte des Stents, ist das tatsächlich erzielte
Ergebnis, sprich das tatsächlich erzielte Innenlumen jedoch different
von dem maximalen Innendurchmesser des Stents, während Inflation
des Ballons.
Mit Hilfe der sogenannten QCA (Quantitativen Koronarangiographie)
lassen sich diese Rückstellkräfte, oder im englischen auch als "recoil"
bezeichneten Meßwerte, genau erfassen. Das Recoil hängt zum. Einen von
Charakteristiken der Gefäßwand ab, sprich Elastizität, Rückstellkraft der
Gefäßwand, Verkalkungen, Härte, Dicke, Konstitution des umgebenden
Gewebes usw., zum Zweiten aber auch von den Charakteristiken des
Stents. Hier ist zum Einen einmal die mechanische Konfiguration, der
prozentuale Anteil der Gefäßstütze an der gedeckten Fläche der
abgestützten Gefäßwand zu nennen. Sie bewegt sich je nach
Aufdehnungsgrad zwischen 10 und 30%, wobei dies vom Stent-Typ
abhängt.
Aus verständlichen Gründen wird nun angestrebt, den Durchmesser des
Stent möglichst gering zu machen, um möglichst wenig des erzielten
Innenlumens durch den Stent zu bedecken, so daß ein relativ hohes
Lumen für den Fluß des Blutes zu Verfügung steht. Ein dickerer
metallischer Stent hat natürlicherweise eine größere Abstützkraft. Durch
bestimmte Designänderungen, läßt sich eine entsprechende Stabilität
erzielen. Es muß aber das Ziel einer jeden implantierbaren Gefäßstütze
sein, ein möglichst dünnes, zylindrisch tupuläres Element in den Körper
einzubringen, das eine maximale Abstützfunktion hat. Die Oberfläche
sollte deswegen nicht so groß sein, um die Aktivierung der
plasmatischen und zellulären Gerinnung durch das metallische
Fremdkörpermaterial möglichst gering zu halten.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Zusatzerfindung ein Verfahren zu
beschreiben, bei dem ein minimaler Recoil im klinischen Betrieb durch
die Implantation von Gefäßstützen erzielt werden kann.
Die Erfindung besteht darin, aus einem zylindrischen metallischen
Körper geometrische Öffnungen herauszuschneiden, die ein Aufdehnen
der zylindrischen Struktur im Körper des Menschen erlauben. Dabei
unterliegt ein solches Gefäßimplantat einem Gestaltwandel bezüglich
seines Innen- und Außendurchmessers. Die erste Gestalt hat es in Form
eines Durchmessers eines massiven zylindrischen Röhrchens, aus dem
die Gefäßstrukturen geschnitten werden. Die zweite Gestalt hat es in
Form eines Diameters, wenn dieses Röhrchen auf einem Ballon mit Hilfe
von Quetschkräften aufgebracht wird, so daß eine entsprechende
Reibung entsteht zum Ballon, so daß dieser mit aufgekrimmten oder
aufgebrachter Gefäßstütze an den Ort der Läsuren vorgeschoben
werden. Als Referenz dient hierzu die Bedienungsanleitung des
InFlow-Stents der in der Anlage beigefügt ist. Der Durchmesser eines Stents
hängt von den Charakteristiken des verwandten Ballons ab, kann aber
bei modernen Niedrigprofilballons durchaus bis auf 0.6 mm
heruntergehen. Nach Einbringen in das Gefäß wird nun der Stent
aufgedehnt und erzielt dort einen Durchmesser von 2.5-6.0 mm.
Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung die Rückstellkräfte
dadurch zu minimieren, daß der Stent nach der Originalbearbeitung aus
einem bestimmten Durchmesser habenden Röhrchen in der Regel 1.5-1.8 mm
aufgedehnt wird auf einen Durchmesser, der über dem
Originaldurchmesser des geschnittenen oder roh bearbeitenden
Röhrchens liegt. Ein solcher intermediärer Durchmesser nähert sich dem
endgültigen Durchmesser, den das Gefäßimplantat im Körper haben soll
an und liegt zwischen 2.0 und 2.5 mm. Wird nun der Stent, zum Beispiel
über eine Nadel aufgedehnt, behält er seine elastischen Rückstellkräfte.
Das bedeutet, daß nach Aufdehnung der Stent versucht, wieder auf seinen
Originaldurchmesser, der durch die Gitterstruktur des initial
zylindrischen Hohlkörpers oder Röhrchens vorgegeben war,
zurückzugehen.
Die vorliegende Erfindung beschreibt nun, daß durch Glühen in
aufgedehntem Zustand die metallischen kristallinen Strukturen so
verändert werden, daß keine elastischen Rückstellkräfte mehr bestehen,
die den Stent auf seine initiale Durchmesserstruktur zurückziehen
würden. Dadurch entsteht eine geringere elastische Rückstellkraft des
Stents, was im klinischen Betrieb bedeutet, daß das Recoil nach
Implantation im Gefäß minimal wird.
Die Erfahrungen mit mehr als 150 Gefäßstützen bei über 60 Patienten
haben gezeigt, daß durch dieses Verfahren des Vakuumglühens in
aufgedehntem Zustand ein klinisches Recoil von unter 5% erzielt
werden kann. Dies ist im Vergleich zu allen anderen Gefäßstützen, die
zwischen 10 und 15% liegen, ein extrem positives Ergebnis,
insbesondere unter dem Aspekt, daß die benutzte Gefäßstütze mit 70 bis
80 µ Durchmesser eine geringere Wanddicke aufweist, als andere
verwandte und vergleichbare Gefäßstützen. Der Patentanspruch gilt nun
zur Verminderung der elastischen Rückstellkräfte einer implantierbaren
Gefäßstütze. Wird diese Gefäßstütze mit Temperaturen zwischen 700
und 1050° vakuumgeglüht, um eine Änderung der kristallinen
Strukturen des Stents in der Weise zu erzielen, daß die elastischen
Rückstellkräfte in aufgedehntem Zustand vermindert werden, daß auch
nach Implantation im Gefäß eine optimale Stützfunktion erzielt wird und
der Stent trotzdem noch auf einem minimalen Diameter auf dem Ballon
aufgekrimmt werden kann, spielen nach Diameterverringerung die
elastischen Rückstellkräfte keine so wesentliche Rolle mehr.
