Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to devices and methods for treating a mitral valve and delivering and/or maintaining one or more electrophysiology (EP) devices, such as a cardiac lead, in a coronary sinus.
- EP electrophysiology
- the mitral valve is located in the left side of the heart, between the left upper chamber (atrium) and left lower chamber (ventricle).
- the valve comprises two flaps, called leaflets, which normally close each time the left ventricle contracts in order to pump blood out of the heart.
- leaflets When the mitral valve doesn't close properly, blood from the ventricle is forced back up (i.e. regurgitated) into the left atrium instead of flowing out to the rest of the body.
- mitral valve or mitral, regurgitation.
- mitral valve leaflets Failure of the mitral valve leaflets to open and close properly can be caused by damage to the leaflets. For example, rheumatic fever and other infections can damage valve leaflets and cause scarring. These scars can deform the leaflets, preventing the valve from opening and closing properly. In addition, if one or more of the cordlike structures attaching the leaflets to the heart muscles break, the valve may also leak. Heart attacks, diseases of the heart muscle, or other heart valve abnormalities, which can cause enlargement of the entire heart, can stretch the mitral valve annulus and the muscular valve cusp attachments, pulling the valve leaflets apart so that the leaflets no longer meet. [0005] Treatment for mitral valve regurgitation can vary depending on severity of the condition.
- Mitral valve regurgitation associated with normal heart sizes and without symptoms will be left untreated. This is because conventional treatments for mitral valve regurgitation involve invasive open heart surgery. Moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation requires treatment, either mitral valve repair or replacement. However, an " attendant drawback of surgical valve replacement, or repair, is the high morbidity, cost and trauma associated with these treatments. Surgical valve repair commonly involves narrowing the mitral valve ring or annulus and tailoring the valve leaflets by stitching a plastic support ring around the valve to bring the leaflets closer together. For more damaged leaflets, replacement of the entire mitral valve with a prosthetic valve may be necessary.
- coronary sinus refers to not only the coronary sinus itself, but also to the venous system associated with the coronary sinus including the great cardiac vein.
- the therapy contemplates the use of an implantable device introduced into the coronary sinus to reshape and advantageously effect the geometry of the annulus and the leaflets.
- implantable device introduced into the coronary sinus to reshape and advantageously effect the geometry of the annulus and the leaflets.
- Such devices include those shown and described in U.S. Publication No. 2004/0220654

- Coronary sinus 116 is part of the venous system of heart 100 and extends along AV groove between the left atrium and the left ventricle. This places coronary sinus 116 essentially within the same plane as mitral valve annulus 114, making coronary sinus 116 available for placement of sKapiri ' g devic ' e ' 2 ' 00 in order to effect mitral valve geometry and to restore proper valve function.
- FIG. 2 illustrates one possible embodiment of an implantable shaping device 200, which is deployable in coronary sinus 116 or other body lumen.
- device 200 generally comprises elongated connector 220 disposed between distal anchor 240 and proximal anchor 260. Both distal anchor 240 and proximal anchor 260 are shown in their deployed (i.e. expanded) configuration in FIG. 2, securely positioned within the coronary sinus 116.

- shaping device 200 is adapted to be deployed from an opening of a delivery catheter 302 and is anchored within coronary sinus 116 via expansion of distal anchor 240.
- distal anchor 240 may be configured to be self- expanding, or alternatively, maybe actuated open (via actuation of distal locking mechanism 248). While shaping device 200 is anchored within the coronary sinus 116 after expansion of distal anchor 240 shaping device 200 may be "cinched" as further described in U.S. Application No. 10/742,516, to affect mitral valve geometry sufficient to decrease mitral valve regurgitation. When sufficient alteration of the mitral valve geometry and the leaflets is achieved (as determined by various visual diagnostic techniques including but not limited to fluoroscopy and the like), proximal anchor 260 may be exposed, deployed, expanded, decoupled and catheter 302 withdrawn.

- leads 404 and 406 may be implanted before the shaping device.
- shaping device 200 can be implanted into a patient's coronary sinus after a patient has undergone an earlier EP procedure and even after endotheliazation of the leads has occurred.
- the EP leads may be implanted after the shaping device. Because of the configuration of shaping device 200, a lead can easily pass through the shaping device because of its open structure and because the shaping device occupies less than all of the interior space of the coronary sinus 116. A further description of this aspect of the invention is described with reference to FIG. 7.
- a shaping device 200 and a lead may be delivered simultaneously during a single treatment procedure into a coronary sinus.
- simultaneous delivery of a shaping device and a lead aids in delivery and positioning of said lead as these devices are not designed for good pushability and therefore can be difficult to deliver and maintain position within a patient's heart, especially during heartbeats.
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of one embodiment of the invention wherein shaping device 200 configured to facilitate simultaneous delivery of a shaping device and lead.
- shaping device 200 comprises a retention member 500.
- Said retention member 500 may be a hook (not shown), loop (shown), grasper (not shown) or the like for holding a left lead 404 to shaping device 200.
- the retention member 500 may be disposed on any portion of the shaping device 200, preferably its placement on device 200 and design ensures that left lead 404 and its electrodes 410 make sufficient electrical contact with tissue so that each electrode's sensing, pacing and defibrillation functions are not compromised, hi addition, the retention member 500 is electrically insulated to prevent electrical communication between shaping device 200 and left lead 404.
- FIG. 6 illustrates yet another embodiment wherein shaping device 200 is configured as a dual cardiac lead and mitral valve treatment device, hi this example, shaping device 200 comprises one or more electrodes 600 integrated into shaping device
- the electrodes 600 may be coupled to an EP system 400 and generator 402.
- the one or more electrodes 600 may be disposed on any portion of shaping device 200 that makes contact with the vessel wall, including but not limited to: distal anchor 240; proximal anchor 260; both anchors 240 and 260; distal crimp tube 244; proximal crimp tube 264; both crimp tubes 244 and 264; connector 220; or any combination thereof.
- components of shaping device 200 may be configured from electrically conductive materials such as nitinol, elastic metals and the like, these components (such as a crimp tube or connector) may be adapted to directly couple to an EP system. [0040] As illustrated in FIG.
- FIG. 6 which shows an embodiment wherein electrodes are disposed on a distal or proximal anchor 240, expansion of said anchor ensures direct and maximal contact between the one or more electrodes 600 and the cardiac tissues to achieve optimal and efficient electrode operation for sensing, pacing or defibrillation of the left side of a patient's heart.
- the electrodes are disposed on a portion of a shaping device that contacts the atrial side of the coronary sinus to ensure proper '' ⁇ el ⁇ ct ⁇ dlt' ⁇ Mtwi ⁇ hlW ⁇ B& ⁇ t ⁇ um of a patient's heart for pacing, defibrillating and/or sensing.
- shaping device 200 is configured to permit a cardiac lead and electrode to be passed through the coronary sinus 116.
- the anchors 240 and 260 the device 200 occupy only a small portion of and hence less than all of the interior space of the coronary sinus 116. This permits a cardiac lead 500 to be advanced into the coronary sinus 116 for implant in the left side of the heart.
- the anchors 240 and 260 take the form of loops 520 and 510 respectively which are then bent backwards on the device 200 to form hook-shapes for self-deployment. The loops 520 and 510 thus permit the cardiac lead 500 to be passed therethrough for implant in the left heart.
