An image-guided prosthetic valve deployment system employs a prosthetic valve (80), a catheter (70) and a delivery tracking system (90). The catheter (70) has an elongated body with a proximal tip (71 a) and a distal tip (71 b), and the elongated body includes a delivery section (72) adjacent the distal tip (71 b) for deploying the prosthetic valve (80) relative to a heart valve (21) within an anatomical region (20). The delivery section (72) includes a delivery segment (73) for sensing a shape and an orientation of the delivery section (72) within the anatomical region (20) relative to a reference point (74). The delivery tracking system (90) tracks a position and an orientation of the prosthetic valve (80) relative to the heart valve (21) as a function of a sensed shape and a sensed orientation of the delivery section (72) within the anatomical region (20) relative to the reference point (74) by the delivery segment (73).
The present invention generally relates to the delivery of a prosthetic valve during a heart valve replacement procedure guided by localization during device deployment. The present invention specifically relates to a utilization of both a reference element and a shape sensor for determining a proper positioning and orientation of the prosthetic valve relative the heart valve.
Aortic stenosis is the most frequent acquired cardiac valve disease requiring hospitalization. Open-heart surgery to address the disease may provide excellent and durable results, but many fragile patients are not eligible to undergo this procedure due to their poor condition. Minimally-invasive transcatheter valve replacement is a relatively new and promising alternative for this large population of patients. The valve replacement procedure delivers a prosthetic valve to the patient's native valve annulus, and then expands the prosthesis over the native valve.
One of the critical steps in transcatheter valve replacement is the deployment of the prosthetic valve at the proper position and orientation with respect to the native valve annulus and the ostia of the coronary arteries. This deployment is critical, because occlusion of the coronary ostia due to misdirected prosthetic valve deployment may lead to myocardial ischemia and infarction. Therefore, real-time information about the position and orientation of the prosthetic device during deployment may significantly reduce complications and increase clinical throughput.
Clear visualization of the full valve annulus and the delivery device may be very difficult to achieve with fluoroscopy alone and may be no less challenging with a transesophageal (“TEE”) probe if the valve leaflets are highly calcified. Typically, the physician identifies the aortic valve orifice on fluoroscopy using aortography and the visible calcium deposits on the valve. The C-arm is then positioned so that all three valve sinuses of the aortic annulus are in the same imaging plane. Thus, the valve annulus and delivery device are visualized in 2D, whereas 3D information of the orientation and position of the prosthetic valve relative to the annulus would be desired.
After navigating the prosthetic valve through the native valve annulus into the left ventricle with the delivery catheter, the prosthetic valve (optionally mounted on balloon) is pulled back over the guidewire into the native valve annulus at the preferred orientation and position. Then, the valve is deployed (optionally by inflating a delivery balloon) and the prosthetic valve is pressed firmly against the valve annulus, limiting recoil of the native valve and reducing paravalvular leakage. Valve deployment is monitored with fluoroscopy and/or TEE. After deployment, the valve implant is assessed using TEE and/or aortography to check for proper blood flow into the coronary arteries (no obstruction) and for paravalvular regurgitation. The blood pressure in the aorta is also checked.
The present invention provides a guided valve replacement system and method for deployment of the prosthetic valve at the proper position and orientation with respect to the native valve annulus.
One form of the present invention is a guided prosthetic valve deployment system employing a prosthetic valve, a catheter, and a delivery tracking system. The catheter has an elongated body with a proximal tip and a distal tip, the elongated body including a delivery section adjacent the distal tip for deploying the prosthetic valve relative to a heart valve within an anatomical region. The delivery section includes a delivery segment for sensing a shape and an orientation of the delivery section within the anatomical region relative to a reference element. The delivery tracking system tracks a position and an orientation of the prosthetic valve relative to the heart valve as a function of a sensed shape and a sensed orientation of the delivery section within the anatomical region relative to the reference element as sensed by the delivery segment.
A second form of the present invention is a guided prosthetic valve deployment method involving navigation of a catheter within an anatomical region, the catheter having an elongated body with a proximal tip and a distal tip, the elongated body including a delivery section adjacent the distal tip for deploying a prosthetic valve relative to a heart valve within the anatomical region. The method further involves a sensing of a shape and an orientation the delivery section within the anatomical region relative to a reference element as the catheter is navigated within the anatomical region, and a tracking of a position and an orientation of the prosthetic valve relative to the heart valve as a function of the sensed shape and the sensed orientation of the delivery section within the anatomical region relative to the reference element sensed by the delivery segment.

As shown in FIG. 1, a heart valve imaging system of the present invention employs an imaging modality 30, an X-ray imaging system 40 and an image guiding system 50 for displaying a valve annulus plane relative to a diseased or otherwise damaged heart valve in accordance with a flowchart 60 as shown in FIG. 2.
For purposes of the present invention, the term “valve annulus plane” is broadly defined as any plane that traverses across an annulus of an associated heart valve. For example, FIG. 1 illustrates a heart 20 having four (4) valves in the form of an aortic valve 21, a mitral valve 22, a pulmonary valve 23 and a tricuspid valve 24. A valve annulus plane of aortic valve 21 would therefore be any plane traversing across an annulus of aortic valve 21. In practice, the preferred valve annulus plane of a heart valve for purposes of the present invention will be dependent upon the particulars of the corresponding valve replacement procedure.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a valve replacement procedure for heart 20 requires a prosthetic valve being properly positioned and oriented relative to the diseased/damaged heart valve among one of the heart valves 21-24 being replaced. To this end during a pre-operative or intra-operative stage S61 of flowchart 60, imaging modality 30 generates a three-dimensional (“3D”) volume image of an annulus of the diseased/damaged heart valve as known in the art and communicates a dataset 31 representative of the volume image to image guiding system 50. In practice, imaging modality 30 may be any imaging modality structurally configured for generating 3D volume images. Examples include, but are not limited to, a magnetic resonance imaging system, a computerized tomography system and a 3D ultrasound system. Also in practice, the visual scope of the volume image of the heart valve will be dependent upon the particular heart valve replacement procedure being implemented by flowchart 60.
During a pre-operative or intra-operative stage S62 of flowchart 60, image guiding system 50 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware for extracting a valve annulus plane associated with the diseased/damaged heart valve from within the volume image of the diseased/damaged heart valve. In one embodiment, image guiding system 50 utilizes a model of heart 20 as a basis for identifying the valve annulus plane and then extracting the valve annulus plane from the volume image of the heart valve. For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, a valve annulus plane 53 may be extracted from a volume image 31 a of heart 20 based on an identification of valve annulus plane 53 within a model of heart 20 or any other comparable heart.
During an intra-operative stage S63 of flowchart 60, X-ray imaging system 40 generates an X-ray image of the diseased/damaged heart valve as known in the art and communicates a dataset 41 representative of the X-ray image to image guiding system 50. In turn, image guiding system 50 is further structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware for generating a display 51 of an overlay of the extracted valve annulus plane in the X-ray image of the heart valve. For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, a display 51 a illustrates an X-ray image of an aorta 25 extending from a left ventricle 26 and encircled by an overlay of valve annulus plane 53 associated with an annulus of aortic valve 21 (not shown).
Imaging guiding system 50 may further be structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware for generating a display 52 (FIG. 1) of an orientation of the prosthetic valve to the valve annulus plane of the heart valve. Embodiments of display 52 will be described subsequently herein in connection with a description of FIGS. 11A and 11B.
In practice, image guiding system 50 may be incorporated within image modality 30, X-ray system 40 or within a separate workstation.
As shown in FIG. 4, a delivery tracking system 90 employs a reference component 91, a shape reconstruction component 93 and a valve tracking component 95 in accordance with a flowchart 100 as shown in FIG. 7 for tracking a prosthetic valve 80 as a catheter 70 is deployed during a heart valve replacement procedure.
Catheter 70 is equipped with a tubular body 71 extending from a proximal 71 a to a distal tip 71 b with a delivery section 72 being adjacent distal tip 71 b (i.e., delivery section 72 is closest to the distal tip 71 b than proximal tip 71 a). Integrated within a delivery section 72 of tubular body 71 is a delivery segment 73 for sensing a shape and orientation of delivery section 72 relative to a reference element 74. In practice, reference element 74 may be a subsegment located along any position of delivery section 72, such as, for example, adjacent a proximal end of delivery segment 73.
Reference component 91 is structurally configured as known in the art for localizing a position and orientation of reference element 74 within an anatomical region like heart 20 (FIG. 1). In practice, the embodiment of reference component 92 is dependent upon the type of delivery segment 73 being utilized for the procedure.
Shape reconstruction unit 93 is structurally configured as known in the art for reconstructing a shape of delivery section 72. Similarly, in practice, the embodiment of shape reconstruction unit is dependent upon the type of delivery segment 73 being utilized for the procedure.
Specifically, in one embodiment 173 of delivery segment 73 as shown in FIG. 5A, delivery segment 173 is an optical fiber broadly defined herein as any article or device structurally configured for transmitting light by means of successive internal optical reflections via one or more deformation sensor arrays 174 with the proximal end of delivery segment 173 defining reference point 74. For purposes of the present invention, each deformation optic sensor of array 174 is broadly defined herein as any article structurally configured for reflecting a particular wavelength of light while transmitting all other wavelengths of light whereby the reflection wavelength may be shifted as a function of an external stimulus applied to optical fiber 173.
An example of optical fiber 173 and deformation optic sensor array 174 is a flexible optically transparent glass or plastic fiber having fiber Bragg gratings integrated along a length of the fiber as known in the art.
Another example of optical fiber 173 and deformation optic sensor array 174 is a flexible optically transparent glass or plastic fiber having naturally random variations in its optic refractive index occurring along a length the fiber as known in the art whereby the random fluctuations may be modeled as fiber Bragg gratings with a random variation of amplitude and phase along the grating length.
For delivery segment 173, reference component 91 may be a magnetic resonance localization unit, an ultrasound-based localization unit, or a direct X-ray imaging/processing unit for purposes of localizing reference element 74 as known in the art. In addition, shape reconstruction unit 93 may an optical console for reconstructing a shape of array 174 as known in the art.
In another embodiment 273 of delivery segment 73 as shown in FIG. 5B, delivery segment 273 is an electromagnetic sensor having an array 274 of electromagnetic coils with a proximal end of array 274 defining reference point 74.
For delivery segment 273, reference component 91 may be a six degrees-of-freedom (“6 DOF”) electromagnetic tracking unit or a 6 DOF impedance localization unit for purposes of localizing reference element 74 as known in the art. In addition, shape reconstruction unit 93 may be a separate or integrated 6 DOF electromagnetic tracking unit or a 6 DOF impedance localization unit for reconstructing a shape of array 274 as known in the art.
In yet another embodiment 373 of delivery segment 73 as shown in FIG. 5C, delivery segment 373 includes optical fiber 173 and an electromagnetic coil 275 defining reference element 74.
For delivery segment 373, reference component 91 may be a six degrees-of-freedom (“6 DOF”) electromagnetic tracking unit or a 6 DOF impedance localization unit for purposes of localizing electromagnetic coil 275 as known in the art. In addition, shape reconstruction unit 93 may be an optical console for reconstructing a shape of array 174 as known in the art.
Referring back to FIG. 4, prosthetic valve 80 is mounted adjacent to distal tip 61 b. However, in practice, prosthetic valve 80 will be mounted to delivery section 72 in dependence upon the particulars of the heart valve replacement procedure.
In one embodiment as shown in FIG. 6, a prosthetic valve 80 a with embedded delivery segment 73 circumscribes a valve annulus. In the shown undeployed state, prosthetic valve 80 a is folded over a deployment balloon 81 and a distal segment of delivery segment 73 is coiled up in a collapsed state. After deployment, prosthetic valve 80 a is expanded and delivery segment 73 is uncoiled to extend over the annulus in the deployed state. The circumscribing segment of delivery segment 73 defines the valve plane and annulus orientation. The tip of that segment may be designed to coincide with the centerpoint of the non-coronary cusp, with each of the coronary cusps annotated based on angular position along the curved segment of delivery segment 73. Curve locations 75-78 correspond to anatomical features (e.g., coronary ostia).
Flowchart 100 as shown in FIG. 7 will now be described herein to facilitate an understanding of valve tracking module 95 of FIG. 5.
During an intra-operative stage S101 of flowchart 100, reference component 91 localizes a position and orientation of reference element 74 within a global reference coordinate system 110 registered with an image of heart 20 as known in the art, and communicates a dataset 92 representative of the localized position and orientation of reference element 74 to valve tracking module 95. During an intra-operative stage S102 of flowchart 100, shape reconstruction unit 93 reconstructs a shape of delivery section 72 within global reference coordinate system 110 as known in the art and communicates a dataset 94 representative of the reconstructed shape of delivery section 72 within global reference coordinate system 110 to valve tracking module 95.
During an intra-operative stage S103 of flowchart 100, valve tracking module 95 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware for processing datasets 92 and 94 to thereby localize a position and an orientation of prosthetic valve 80 relative to the heart valve within global reference coordinate system 110. Specifically, valve tracking module 95 has knowledge of the particular design of delivery section 72 in terms of the spatial relationship between delivery segment 73 and reference point 74 and the spatial relationship between delivery segment 73 and prosthetic valve 80. As such, valve tracking module 95 processes datasets 81 and 91 to determine the local position and rotational orientation of delivery section 72 within global reference coordinate system 110 relative to the heart valve (not shown).
In practice, valve tracking module 95 may be incorporated within reference component 91, within shape reconstruction unit 93, with image guiding system 50 (FIG. 1), or within a separate workstation.
FIG. 8 illustrates an image-guided valve replacement system employing the image guiding system 50 of FIG. 1 including a valve plane module 54 and a guiding module 56, and the delivery tracking system 90 of FIG. 4. System 50 and 90 implement a flowchart 120 as shown in FIG. 9 for facilitating a proper positioning and orientation of prosthetic valve 80 (FIG. 4) relative to a diseased or otherwise damaged heart valve of heart 20.
Specifically, a first phase 121 of flowchart 120 involves an implementation of flowchart 60 of FIG. 2 by image guiding system 50 and an implementation of flowchart 100 of FIG. 7 by delivery tracking system 90. In practice, stages S61 and S62 of flowchart 60 may be performed prior to an insertion of catheter 70 within the patient while stage S63 of flowchart 60 as well as all stages of flowchart 100 are performed in real-time. Also in practice, system 50 or system 80 may be utilized to establish global reference coordinate system 110 (of which only an XZ plane is shown in FIG. 8).
During a stage S122 of flowchart 120, a valve plane module 54 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware for extracting the valve annulus plane associated with the diseased/damaged heart valve from within a volume image of the diseased/damaged heart valve. Valve plane module 54 communicates a display 51 of an overlay of the extracted valve annulus plane in an X-ray image of the heart valve and/or a dataset 55 of the extracted valve annulus plane to guiding module 56. In turn, guiding module 56 is structurally configured with hardware, software and/or firmware for generating a prosthetic valve guidance display 52 illustrating a positioning and/or an orientation of the prosthetic valve relative to the heart valve as catheter 70 is navigated within heart 20.
In one embodiment of stage S122 as shown in FIG. 10A, guiding module 56 registers the volume image of the heart valve with global reference coordinate system 110 during a stage S131 of a flowchart 130, generates a prosthetic vector and orientation axis within the volume image during a stage S132 of flowchart 130 and extracts the prosthetic valve guidance display during a stage S133 of flowchart 130.
FIG. 11A illustrates one example of a prosthetic valve guidance display 52 a illustrating valve annulus plane 53, an orientation axis 150 extending perpendicularly through valve annulus plane 53, and a prosthetic vector 151 extending from reference point 152 through valve annulus plane 53 with a direction arrow 153 of prosthetic vector 151 symbolizing the prosthetic valve. Display 52 a further illustrates an angular differential value 154 between orientation axis 150 and prosthetic vector 151.
The generation of display 52 a provides a guidance tool during the heart valve replacement procedure whereby a proper positioning and orientation of the prosthetic valve may be accomplished. In particular, the catheter may be navigated within the heart with the goal of having angular differential value 154 equal to zero and to have the direction arrow 153 a proper distance from valve annulus plane 53.
While the body of prosthetic vector 151 essentially represents the delivery segment, the delivery segment may have an arc or curvy shape as the catheter is being navigated within heart. Nonetheless, in practice, the body of prosthetic vector 151 may be given a straight shape as shown based on the actual orientation of the prosthetic valve to orientation axis 150, or the actual shape of the delivery segment may be shown in display 52 a.
Also in practice, display 52 a may be 3D or two-dimensional (“2D”) and may include features of the heart valve and surrounding heart tissue.
FIG. 11B illustrates an alternative version 52 b of display 52 a whereby markers 154(a) and 154(b) represent physiological parameters derived from the delivery segment (e.g., from FGB sensors) with each parameter providing color coded information or shape coded information. Examples of the physiological parameters include, but are not limited to, pressure in the aorta (e.g., marker 154(a)), pressure in the ventricle (e.g., marker 154(b)), and a paravalvular flow.
In a second embodiment of stage S132 (FIG. 10A) as shown in FIG. 10B, guiding module 56 registers the X-ray image of the heart valve having the overlay of the valve annulus plane within the global reference coordinate system 110 during a stage S141 of flowchart 140, and generates the prosthetic vector and the orientation axis within the X-ray image during a stage S142 of flowchart 140. For example, orientation axis 150 and prosthetic vector 151 of FIGS. 11A and 11B may be generated within X-ray image 51 a of FIG. 3B.
