Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to vascular access systems and techniques, and more particularly to configurations for providing and/or facilitating elongate instrument access across a vascular wall with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue structures.
- an elongate instrument such as a catheter is introduced to the vascular system at a convenient access location--such as the femoral, brachial, or subclavian arteries--and guided through the
- vascular system to a target location to perform therapy or diagnosis.
- catheter and other vascular access devices When vascular access is no longer required, the catheter and other vascular access devices must be removed from the vascular entrance and bleeding at the puncture site must be stopped.
- One common approach for providing hemostasis is to apply external force near and upstream from the puncture site, typically by manual compression. This method is time-consuming, frequently requiring one-half hour or more of compression before hemostasis. This procedure is uncomfortable for the patient and frequently requires administering analgesics. Excessive pressure can also present the risk of total occlusion of the blood vessel, resulting in ischemia and/or thrombosis.
- hemostasis is achieved by manual compression, the patient is required to remain recumbent for six to eighteen hours under observation to assure continued hemostasis. During this time bleeding from the vascular access wound can restart, potentially resulting in major complications. These complications may require blood transfusion and/or surgical intervention.
- Bioabsorbable fasteners have also been used to stop
- thrombus can form on the fastener. Thrombus can embolize downstream and/or block normal blood flow at the thrombus site. Implanted fasteners can also cause infection and auto-immune
- Suturing methods also have used to provide hemostasis after vascular access.
- the suture-applying device is introduced through the tissue tract with a distal end of the device located at the vascular puncture. Needles in the device draw suture through the blood vessel wall on opposite sides of the punctures, and the suture is secured directly over the
- suturing methods need to be performed with a precise control.
- the needles need to be properly directed through the blood vessel wall so that the suture is well anchored in tissue to provide for tight closure.
- Suturing methods also require additional steps for the physician .
- vascular access With self-sealing and other configurations of closure devices, it may be desirable to achieve vascular access with relatively small instruments before dilation up to larger working lumens for subsequent diagnostic or interventional steps.
- a self-sealing access technique may be employed to place a much smaller guidewire, such as an 0.018" diameter guidewire.
- a relatively small guidewire such as an 0.018" diameter
- a subsequent process step may be to install an introducer catheter assembly, generally comprising an introducer catheter defining an
- the dilator member generally will define its own dilator member lumen through which the guidewire may be threaded, to facilitate an "over-the-wire" installation of the distal portions of the introducer catheter and dilator member into the vascular lumen.
- 0.035" diameter guidewire can result in what may be termed an "annular gap" that may form a mechanical edge at the interface between these structures, and insertion of this gap or edge relative to the vascular tissue to place the dilator member and associated introducer catheter distal tips within the vascular lumen may result in unwanted localized tissue trauma, heightened insertion forces, and undesirable localized stress concentrations on portions of the guidewire, dilator member, and/or introducer catheter.
- an annular gap may form a mechanical edge at the interface between these structures, and insertion of this gap or edge relative to the vascular tissue to place the dilator member and associated introducer catheter distal tips within the vascular lumen may result in unwanted localized tissue trauma, heightened insertion forces, and undesirable localized stress concentrations on portions of the guidewire, dilator member, and/or introducer catheter.
- guidewires may be more optimally utilized with relatively small guidewires, such as those having diameters in the range of 0.018 inches, which may be desirable with procedures such as self- sealing vascular access and closure procedures.
- One embodiment is directed to a geometric adaptor apparatus for assisting with translumenal vascular access, comprising a dilator adaptor member having proximal and distal ends and defining a dilator adaptor lumen therethrough, wherein the dilator adaptor lumen is defined by an inner diameter profile sized to accommodate insertion of one or more portions of a guidewire, and wherein the dilator adaptor is further defined by an outer diameter profile sized to accommodate at least partial insertion of the proximal end of the dilator adaptor into a dilator member lumen formed through a dilator member, the dilator member being coupleable to an introducer catheter member through an introducer member lumen formed through the introducer member.
- a maximum outer diameter of the guidewire may be substantially smaller than a minimum inner diameter of the dilator member. Without the dilator adaptor interposed between the guidewire and dilator member, an annular gap may be defined at the intersection of the guidewire and a distal end of the dilator member.

- the proximally tapered geometry may be selected such that one size of dilator adaptor can form a friction fit with a range of dilator member lumen geometries.
