Abstract
The present invention provides apparatus and methods of closing internal tissue punctures. The apparatus and method provide for an introducer sheath having at least one side port enabling aspiration of an internal tissue puncture site and injection of a sealant.
Description
- This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 11/325,206, filed Jan. 4, 2006, and entitled BALLOON INSERTION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF SEALING A TISSUE PUNCTURE, pending, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein, in its entirety, by this reference.
- The present invention relates to medical devices, and, more particularly, to tissue puncture sealing devices.
- Various medical procedures, particularly cardiology procedures, involve accessing a corporeal vessel or other lumen through a percutaneous sheath. The sheath necessarily requires the formation of a hole or opening in the vessel wall so that a medical procedure can be performed via the sheath. After the particular medical procedure has been performed, the sheath must eventually be removed from the vessel and the access hole in the vessel wall must be closed.
- Historically, the access hole is closed by the application of prolonged manual pressure over the puncture site by a physician or other trained medical professional. The time involved with this method is extensive and costly. In addition, because patients are often treated with a variety of anticoagulant and thrombolytic agents, the manual pressure required to close the access opening in the vessel wall may be even longer. The discomfort and delay in mobilization for patients resulting from this prolonged manual pressure is significant.
- Therefore, a number of vascular closure devices have been developed to close an access opening in the vessel wall more efficiently. For example, closing an access opening in the vessel wall may involve packing a resorbable sealing plug at the hole or sandwiching the hole between the sealing plug and an anchor. Examples of such vascular closure devices and methods are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,090,130 and 6,045,569 and related patents that are hereby incorporated by reference.
- Alternatively, closing an access opening in the vessel wall may include the use of a balloon catheter. For example, an access opening in the vessel wall may be closed by inserting a balloon catheter through the opening in the vessel wall, inflating the balloon, pulling the balloon against the inner wall of the vessel, introducing a procoagulant to the incision site external to the puncture in the vessel wall, and withdrawing the balloon catheter. This method relies on a biochemical reaction between the procoagulant and the blood. The reliance on a biochemical reaction, however, can be problematic. For example, the mixing of the procoagulant with the blood is arbitrary. Therefore, in many cases an exaggerated dose of the procoagulant is applied in an attempt to ensure hemostatis. An exaggerated dose, however, can accidentally enter the blood stream and introduce complications. Moreover, reliance on a chemical reaction based on arbitrary mixing between the procoagulant and the blood often results in an inconsistent seal composition, which in turn results in inconsistent hemostatic sealing performance.
- In one of many possible embodiments, the present invention provides an internal tissue puncture sealing apparatus. The internal tissue puncture sealing apparatus comprises a first thin, elongated conduit having a first central lumen and first and second ends. The first end is insertable through the internal tissue puncture and has an inflation segment in fluid communication with the central lumen. The first end includes an expandable member that is selectively inflatable with a fluid via the central lumen. The apparatus also includes a second thin, elongated conduit having a second central lumen receptive of the first thin, elongated conduit. The proximal end of the second conduit has at least one valved side-port in fluid communication with an annulus between the first and second conduits. The valved side-port may include a vacuum communication path and a sealant injection path, which enable aspiration of a tissue puncture site and sealing of the puncture.
- Another aspect of the invention provides a method of closing a hole in a vessel wall. The method may include inserting an inflatable device through an introducer that is disposed in the vessel, inflating the inflatable device, sealing the inflatable device against an inner wall of the vessel, reducing the pressure inside of the introducer, injecting a sealant into the introducer, deflating the inflatable device, and removing the inflatable device through the sealant. Following removal of the inflatable device, manual pressure may be applied to the hole for a short period of time to ensure continued hemostasis. According to some aspects of the invention, a specially designed introducer is swapped with a standard introducer used to facilitate insertion of vascular tools used to perform a vascular procedure prior to inserting the inflatable device.
- The foregoing and other features, utilities and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
- The accompanying drawings illustrate various embodiments of the present invention and are a part of the specification. The illustrated embodiments are merely examples of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the invention.

FIG. 8 is a sectional side elevation view of the patient following retraction of the introducer sheath and balloon catheter from the situs of the arteriotomy. - Throughout the drawings, identical reference numbers designate similar, but not necessarily identical, elements.
- As mentioned above, vascular procedures are commonly performed throughout the world and require access to a blood vessel through a puncture or opening in the vessel. Often an introducer sheath is placed in the opening to facilitate access to the vessel by one or more vascular instruments, including puncture closure devices. Proper location of an artery or other lumen is typically indicated by a flow of blood through the lumen into the introducer sheath or other instrument as the instrument enters the vessel. The present invention describes methods and apparatus for sealing the vessel opening or arteriotomy following completion of a vascular procedure. The methods and apparatus may also be used, however, to close punctures caused by accidents or other injuries, and are not limited to use following a vascular procedure. The principles described herein may be used to close internal tissue punctures of any kind in any live body. Therefore, while the description below is directed primarily to closing arteriotomys, the methods and apparatus may be used according to principles described herein with any bodily lumen to close a hole or puncture.
- As used throughout the claims and specification, the term “sealant” is used broadly to encompass any fluid, foam, or gel that does not require a biochemical reaction with bodily fluids to set or cure for sealing purposes. The term “fluid” refers to molecules of a substance that move freely past one another and have the tendency to assume the shape of its container, including liquids, foams, gels, and gasses. A “lumen” refers to any open space or cavity in a bodily organ, especially in a blood vessel, or a fluid passageway through a vascular device. “Aspirate” or “aspirating” means to remove fluids with a suction device. The term “vacuum” means lower pressure than local atmospheric pressure or a device that creates a lower pressure. The words “having” and “including” have the same meaning as the word “comprising.”
- Referring now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIG. 1 , an internal tissuepuncture sealing apparatus 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown inFIG. 1 , the internal tissuepuncture sealing apparatus 100 includes a first thin, elongated conduit. According toFIG. 1 , the first thin, elongated conduit is aballoon catheter 102 and includes a firstcentral lumen 104 and first and second ends 106, 108, respectively. Thefirst end 106 includes aninflation segment 112. According toFIG. 1 , theinflation segment 112 comprises an expandable member such as aballoon 114 that is in fluid communication with thecentral lumen 104. Therefore, theballoon 114 is selectively inflatable with a fluid via thecentral lumen 104. Theballoon 114 may be inflated by increasing the pressure of the fluid inside thecentral lumen 104. For example, thesecond end 108 of the balloon catheter includes asyringe 116 that may be depressed to inflate theballoon 114 with saline solution. Downstream of thesyringe 116 is avalve 118 that selectively isolates thecentral lumen 104 from thesyringe 116. Accordingly, when thevalve 118 is open, thesyringe 116 may be depressed, resulting in expansion or inflation of theballoon 114. Further, following inflation, thevalve 118 may be closed, maintaining the expansion of theballoon 114. When uninflated as shown inFIG. 1 , theballoon 114 is coaxial and substantially flush with thecentral lumen 104. - The internal tissue
puncture sealing apparatus 100 also includes a second thin, elongated conduit. According toFIG. 1 , the second thin, elongated conduit comprises an introducer assembly orsheath 120. Theintroducer sheath 120 has a secondcentral lumen 122 that is receptive of theballoon catheter 102. - The
introducer sheath 120 also has adistal end 124 and aproximal end 126. Theproximal end 126 includes at least one side-port 128 extending into the secondcentral lumen 122. According toFIG. 1 , the side-port 128 is in fluid communication with anexternal valve 130. Theexternal valve 130 branches to avacuum port 132 and asealant injection port 134. However, according to some embodiments thevacuum port 132 andsealant injection port 134 are one and the same, and thus there may be no branching. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thevacuum port 132 is in fluid communication with a vacuum source or other evacuator, for example avacuum syringe 136. Similarly, thesealant injection port 134 is in fluid communication with a sealant supply, such as a sealant-containingsyringe 138. Therefore, theexternal valve 130 may comprise a translucent three-way valve positionable between a first or closed position isolating both thevacuum port 132 and thesealant injection port 134 from the secondcentral lumen 122, a second position opening a fluid communication path between the secondcentral lumen 122 and thevacuum port 132, and a third position opening a fluid communication path between the secondcentral lumen 122 and thesealant injection port 134. Details of theexternal valve 130 and the associatedvacuum port 132 andsealant injection port 134 are shown inFIGS. 3-7 . - The
balloon catheter 102 may be inserted into theintroducer sheath 120 as shown inFIG. 2 . When theballoon catheter 102 is inserted into theintroducer sheath 120, anannulus 142 is created between theballoon catheter 102 and theintroducer sheath 120. The side-port 128 is thus in fluid communication with theannulus 142. - A stopper sleeve or
spacer 140 is shown disposed over theballoon catheter 102 to limit the insertion distance of the balloon catheter into theintroducer sheath 120. The length of thespacer 140 is chosen such that thefirst end 106 of theballoon catheter 102 extends beyond thedistal end 124 of theintroducer sheath 120 by a predetermined distance. According to some embodiments, the predetermined distances is approximately 2.5-4.0 cm. The predetermined distance allows for theballoon 114 of theinflation segment 112 to pass into a vessel as discussed in more detail below. Thespacer 140 may comprise a split tube that can be easily removed as desired. - Methods of closing a hole or puncture such as an
arteriotomy 144 using the internal tissuespuncture sealing apparatus 100 are next discussed with reference toFIGS. 3-8 . Referring first toFIG. 3 , the tissuepuncture sealing apparatus 100 is shown with theintroducer sheath 120 inserted into thearteriotomy 144. AlthoughFIG. 3 shows theintroducer sheath 120 passing through anincision tract 146 leading to thearteriotomy 144, according to some methods theintroducer sheath 120 may be swapped with a standard introducer that may have been used to perform a vascular procedure. Preferrably, however, theintroducer sheath 120 is used both for introducing instruments used to perform a vascular procedure and for closing thearteriotomy 144. - With the
introducer sheath 120 inserted into the arteriotomy, theballoon catheter 102 is introduced through the secondcentral lumen 122 until the first ordistal end 106 of theballoon catheter 102, including theinflation segment 112, extends beyond thedistal tip 124 of theintroducer sheath 120 and into ablood vessel 148. Theballoon 114 is in fluid communication with the firstcentral lumen 104. Therefore, opening the catheter valve 118 (FIG. 2 ) and depressing the syringe 116 (FIG. 2 ) inflates theballoon 114 of theinflation segment 112 as shown inFIG. 4 . To maintain theballoon 114 in an inflated posture, thecatheter valve 118 may be closed. Theballoon catheter 102 and theintroducer sheath 120 are retracted until theballoon 114 bears against aninner wall 150 of theblood vessel 148 and seals the internal portion of thearteriotomy 144 as shown inFIG. 4 . - With the
balloon 114 in place internally sealing thearteriotomy 144, the side-port valve 130 is opened to allow fluid communication between theannulus 142 and thevacuum syringe 136 as shown inFIG. 5 . A vacuum is created in theannulus 142 by a withdrawing astem 152 of thevacuum syringe 136 or by some other vacuum device. As the vacuum is created in theannulus 142 and communicated to theincision tract 146, asitus 154 of thearteriotomy 144 and is aspirated, removing fluids from theincision tract 146 via theannulus 142. - As the
arteriotomy 144 is aspirated, a surgeon or other medical professional may visually inspect the fluid contents evacuated through thetranslucent valve 130 to assess blood flow through the arteriotomy and thereby ensure proper positioning of theintroducer sheath 120 and/or theballoon 114 within theblood vessel 148. A flow of blood may indicate that theballoon 114 is not properly sealing thearteriotomy 144. - When the surgeon is satisfied with the positioning of the
introducer sheath 120 and theballoon 114, the side-port valve 130 is toggled to create a fluid communication path between theannulus 142 and the sealant contained by the sealant-containingsyringe 138 or other sealant supply as shown inFIG. 6 . The sealant-containingsyringe 138 holds a volume of sealant that is injected into theintroducer sheath 120 via the side-port 128 as astem 156 is depressed. As shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 , the side-port 128 provides a single, common access point for supplying the sealant and vacuum condition to theannulus 142. The sealant flows through theannulus 142 and into theincision tract 146. Further, because theincision tract 146 has been evacuated and is in a vacuum condition, the sealant is drawn through theannulus 142 toward thearteriotomy 144. The vacuum condition of thesitus 154 external to thearteriotomy 144 causes the sealant to quickly and efficiently fill all of the voids around thearteriotomy 144 and in theincision tract 146. Preferably, the sealing-containingsyringe 138 holds a volume of sealant sufficient to fill theannulus 142 and therefore theincision tract 146. As the sealant is injected, thesheath 120 is preferably withdrawn with respect to theballoon 114 to allow the sealant to fill theincision tract 146. Therefore, in order to facilitate retraction of thesheath 120, the spacer 140 (FIG. 2 ) is removed. - Following injection of the sealant, the sealant may be optionally activated, cured, or set. The sealant may comprise a gel or foam made of materials including, but not limited to: collagen, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, cyanoacrylates, chitosan, poly-n-acetyl glucosamine. Unlike the materials used in previous devices, none of the materials recited herein is dependent on a biochemical reaction with blood or other bodily fluids to create a hemostatic seal. However, the gels or foams used according to some aspects of the present invention may in some cases be activated or cured by, for example, application of a second fluid, UV light, or other activation mechanisms.
- When the sealant is in place adjacent the exterior of the
arteriotomy 144, theballoon 114 is deflated as shown inFIG. 7 . Theballoon 114 is deflated by reopening the catheter valve 118 (FIG. 2 ). The stem 158 (FIG. 2 ) of the catheter syringe 116 (FIG. 2 ) may be retracted to ensure full deflation of theballoon 114. Theballoon catheter 102 and theintroducer sheath 120 are retracted, with theballoon 114 sliding through the sealant and in contact with the sealant while at least a portion of the sealant remains positioned in and in contact with theintroducer sheath 120 as shown inFIG. 7 . According to some embodiments, following removal of the balloon catheter and theintroducer sheath 120, manual pressure may be applied to the arteriotomy site to counteract any sealing action disruption caused by the act of pulling theballoon 114 through the sealant. However, the manual pressure is applied for only a fraction of the time allocated to traditional arteriotomy closures. For example, according the principles described herein, manual pressure may be applied following retraction of the internal tissuepuncture sealing apparatus 100 for only ten minutes or less. The sealant remains in theincision tract 146 sealing thearteriotomy 144 as shown inFIG. 8 . - While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various other changes in the form and details may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
