Hereinafter, it will be explained in detail embodiments according to the present invention with reference to the drawings.
In the following, a microcatheter such as when inserted into a living body, whichever is distal of the distal end which is the traveling direction, a vitro biological the side to be operated by hand side is referred to as a base end side to. Terminus are commonly referred to as Distal side (distal side), but the base end side is commonly referred to as Proximal side (proximal side).
Further Hereinafter, like reference numerals denote like elements in all the drawings, without redundant description. Further, in the description in the text, it is assumed to use a code mentioned earlier needed.
Here, the protective stent device, a protection stent catheter device, the differences of protection stent delivery apparatus.
Protection stent device is provided with a protective stent, a guide wire. Protection stent, since those superelastic is attached to shape memory as described later, stretched elongated by constraining the outer shape, it is expanded to its original shape memorized shape by releasing the constraining can. Here, only the protection stent device can not define the shape of the protective stent.
Therefore, in the clinical, microcatheter protective stents that may be contained within a movable protective stent device in the axial direction it is used. That is, when inserting the protective stent device into the body of the patient to hold the guidewire in elongated stretched form in the axial direction to regulate the profile of the protective stent inner diameter of the microcatheter protective stent. Then, by moving the microcatheter and the guide wire protection stent relative axial at the desired site, and released from the restraint of the outer pull out the protective stent outside the secure stent microcatheter, and shape memory to expand to its original shape. This clinical In such, since the protective stent device and microcatheter protection stent is used in pairs, can be referred to as a protective stent catheter system this (first stent mounting means).
This clinical In such, although the microcatheter protection stent and protection stent device is used in combination, even used in clinical, it is desirable to independently handle the protective stent device in shipment. Therefore, assuming that the distal stent guidewire in protecting the stent device to accommodate a portion to be mounted, the sheath introducer is used. Introducer sheath, which corresponds to a tip portion of the microcatheter protective stents, has the same inner diameter as the inner diameter of the microcatheter. Thus, in the previous step used in the clinical, by combining the protected stent device and the sheath introducer, it is possible to treat this as a separate component, it may be referred to as a protective stent delivery device.
As described above, the protective stent device, which includes a protective stent and guide wire, protective stent catheter system is intended for use in clinical in combination with the microcatheter protection stent device and the protective stent, protective stent delivery device are those prepared to handle as a separate component in the context of non-clinical in combination protective stent device and the introducer sheath.
Here, as long as it conforms to the outer diameter of the protective stent device, microcatheter protective stent can be used in various types. In other words, by setting the outer diameter of the protective stent device in accordance with the inner diameter of a standard microcatheter, it a general protection stent device. Also, by doing so, it becomes possible to use a standard introducer sheath matched with an inner standard microcatheter.
In the following First, an outline of the method of installing a stent using the stent system of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, a stent placement method of the present invention will first be installed protection stent 40 (first stent) to embolization stenosis within the lumen of the blood vessel or the like of a living body (step S1). This prevents the embolic material debris from emboli constriction becomes the new emboli downstream peeled.
Then, the embolic stenosis installed protection stent 40, it is expanded from the inside by embolization constriction expansion means (described later) (step S2). By widening this way the constriction, to ensure the flow of blood or the like of the site.
Then, installing the support stent 90 (second stent) to embolization stenosis expanded (step S3). Thus, maintaining the expanded condition of the body part which extends, stably maintain the flow of blood or the like.
It will be described in detail below each step of the above.
First, a protective stent constituting the stent system of the present invention, the manner of installing the embolic stenosis is described.
Figure 2 is a stent system according to an embodiment of the present invention, is a schematic view showing a state in which protective stent is used in the clinic. In Figure 2, the patient 8 with embolic constriction 62 in the vessel 60 of the brain, illustrating the manner in which placing a protective stent 40 to embolization constriction 62.
To deploy the protection stent 40, first, inserted through the femoral artery or the like of the patient 8 guiding catheter 100 until the vicinity of the carotid artery 6. Guiding catheter 100 is also called a parent catheter, microcatheter 12 for protecting the stent to be described later, the micro-catheter 52 for balloon have any inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the support stent for microcatheter 82, the aorta You can proceed to insert. The induction in the aorta of the guiding catheter 100, guiding the guide wire is used. As the guiding guidewire, it may be used a guide wire 20 that is not yet mounted protection stent 40.
Carotid 6 are the diameter of generally several mm, guiding catheter 100 is stopped inserted at the front. This is guiding catheter 100 is inserted protected stent for microcatheter 12, first from the carotid artery 6 is only the microcatheter 12 for protecting the stent is advanced with the aim of site embolic stenosis 62.
Once complete the microcatheter 12 for protecting the stent to the vicinity of the embolic constriction 62, protective stent device microcatheter 12 for protecting the stent, i.e. the guide wire 20 provided with a protective stent 40 at the distal end is inserted. Here, to prepare the protective stent delivery device that includes a sheath introducer as described above. Then, Ategai the distal opening of the introducer sheath to the proximal end side opening of the protective stent for microcatheter 12, the guide wire 20 for holding the protective stent 40 already stretched long end side, the sheath introducer It is inserted into the proximal end of the protective stent for microcatheter 12 out inducer end.
Then, the guide wire 20 for holding the protective stent 40 distally has come to the site of the embolus constriction 62 proceed through the protective stent for microcatheter 12, relative to the guide wire 20 is microcatheter 12 for protecting a stent, toward the distal manipulated to move relative to each other. Thus, protection stent 40 which has been stretched in the elongated axially inside the protective stent for microcatheter 12 from the distal end of the protective stent for microcatheter 12 is issued to the outside, the original shape was a shape memory Expand. 2 shows, how the expanded protected stent 40 is shown at the site of embolization stenosis 62.
Figure 3 is a diagram for explaining the structure and operation of the protection stent catheter device 10 (first stent mounting means). In FIG. 3, (a) is elongated stretched schematically a state in which the protective stent 41 is housed inside the microcatheter 12 for protecting the stent view, (b) the outer protective stent 41 is protected stent for microcatheter 12 schematic view of a state in which a protective stent 40 which is expanded issued is a schematic diagram of (c) a state where the guide wire 20 and microcatheter 12 for protecting the stent is recovered leaving the protective stent 40 expanded.
The protective stent, because the length and outer diameter as when outside and when in the internal microcatheter 12 for protecting the stent as will be described later is changed, FIG. 3, microcatheter 12 inside a protective stent and changes sign in the protective stent 41 and outside of the protection stent 40.
Microcatheter protective stent 12, a guide wire 20 provided with a protective stent 40 is passed through a flexible tube slidably received in the axial direction. As the microcatheter 12 for protecting a stent, which has been chosen as the medical, it can be used urethane tube, plastic tube such as nylon tubing. Ensure strength, it can also be used by embedding a stainless steel mesh. As an example of dimensions, the outer diameter of 0.90 mm, an inner diameter of 0.52 mm, a tube wall thickness of the tube can be used 0.19 mm, total length of about 1600 mm.
Guide wire 20 is a wire line having a thin flexible to fulfill functions and, the function of holding the protective stent 40 for induction when the protective stent for microcatheter 12 inserted into the canal. The material of the guide wire 20, metal or the like suitable for medical stainless steel or the like is used. As an example of dimensions, the outer diameter of the proximal end side 0.34 mm, can be used overall length of about 1800 mm. The outer diameter is, the terminal side, can be gradually tapered.
It ends protection stent 40, woven in the longitudinal direction while forming one or more wires material uniform reticulated gaps constructed from a shape memory material such as Ni-Ti alloys (e.g., diamond-shaped reticulated gaps) There is a tubular body which is open. In a natural state where no external force is applied, the length of the protective stent 40 is set longer than the length of the embolic constriction, the outer diameter is set larger than the luminal diameter after embolization stenosis extension. Furthermore, braided stitches gap, finely enough to collect embolic material scrap during embolization stenosis extended, is set smaller than the gap formed in the support stent 90 to be described later, the outer diameter and length of braided shape storage to those provided with superelasticity. Therefore protection stent 40, protective stent when housed in the catheter apparatus 10 is stretched state (and length extension, extended reduced diameter state diameter is contracted) elongated by the inner diameter of the protective stent for microcatheter 12 takes and from the protection stent catheter device 10 when issued to the outside and tends to return to the natural state. As will be described by way of appropriate dimensions examples below, these can be changed depending on the clinical application.
To knit the tubular protection stent 40, for example, the following method is used. First shape memory and superelastic properties even number prepare thin line of Ni-Ti alloy having, by dividing the even number of two, half of every other is left-handed spiral, right-handed 72 present the other half a spirally wound shape, wound on a mold having a cylindrical circumferential surface, so that the left handed thin wires and right-handed fine line slopes intersect plain weave form, a mold having a cylindrical peripheral surface in the axial direction at a constant speed It is carried out by pulling up. The braided tubular body, aging superelastic imparting with the mold is performed with the cylindrical peripheral surface, then returned to room temperature, the shape at the time of superelastic grant, i.e., on a mold having a cylindrical peripheral surface stored shape which is braided on.
Thus, the length lace along the axial direction of the protective stent 40 can be set at a length of up to end knitting from the start knitting on a mold having a cylindrical peripheral surface. The outer diameter braided protective stent 40 can be set at the outer diameter and the diameter of the thin wire of the mold having a cylindrical peripheral surface. Furthermore, among the braided diamond-shaped reticulated gaps protection stent 40, reticulated gaps along its radial direction or the circumferential direction can be set in the outer peripheral length and the number and diameter of the thin wire of the thin line of the mold having a cylindrical peripheral surface , reticulated gap along the axial direction is the longitudinal direction can be set in the determined braided pitch around the mold having a cylindrical circumferential at a plurality of pull-up speed of the mold per period fine line is wound.
As an example, the diameter of 50 [mu] m = 0.05 mm of the thin lines, the outer diameter of the mold having a cylindrical circumferential surface 5 mm, and 100 the number of fine lines. In this case, reticulated gaps along the circumferential direction of the protective stent 40 becomes {(π × 5mm) / 50} -0.05mm = 0.314mm-0.05mm = 0.264mm. If 200 present a number of fine wires, the reticulated gaps becomes 0.157mm-0.05mm = 0.107mm. Thus, the number of fine lines can be set reticulated gaps along the circumferential direction of the protective stent 40.
Reticulated gap along the axial direction, be substantially the same as the reticulated gaps along the circumferential direction preferably to reduce the deviation of the collection of embolic material scrap. For example, the reticulated gaps along the circumferential direction is set to be about 100 [mu] m = 0.1 mm, is in the axial direction of the braided speed per one cycle in which a plurality of fine line is wound around the mold having a cylindrical peripheral surface the braided pitch 100 [mu] m + may be set (which is 50μm diameter of thin wire) = 150μm = 0.15mm. Thus, by an axial braided pitch can be set reticulated gaps along the axial direction of the protective stent 40.
The size of the diamond-shaped reticulated gaps protection stent 40, since it is set to a fineness that can collect embolic material scrap during embolization stenosis extended, for example, preferably set to reticulated gaps of 150μm from 50 [mu] m.
For example, embolization constriction length about 10mm along the axial direction of the blood vessel, the narrowest inner diameter of about 1.5mm embolic stenosis, when approximately 4mm inner diameter of blood vessel embolization stenosis does not occur, protection stent 40 , about the total length when the braided 15 mm, braided about 5mm outside diameter when the it is preferable to 150μm order of 50μm stitches gap when braided. Larger words, the total length when the braided protective stent 40, to the extent that all of the embolic stenosis can be sufficiently covered Satoshi Cho, the outer diameter when the braided, than the inner diameter of the blood vessel embolization stenosis has not occurred it is preferable to.
Referring back to FIG. 3, the protection stent 40, when it is housed inside the protective stent for microcatheter 12, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the outer an inner diameter of the protective stent for microcatheter 12 diameter is constrained, taking elongated stretched form in the axial direction (protection stent 41). In the above example, the outer diameter of the protective stent 40 is constrained to an inner diameter of the protective stent for microcatheter 12 0.52 mm, correspondingly, elongated in the longitudinal direction, the axial length of about 100 mm.
Stoppers 30, 32 in FIG. 3, along the longitudinal direction of the guide wire 20, is an annular member fixed to each guide wire 20 at a predetermined interval. Portion between the stopper 30 and the distal side stopper 32 of the base end side corresponds to the protective stent holding part 31 for holding the protective stent 40 (first stent retaining portion). Fixed between the stopper 30 and 32 and the guide wire 20 can be performed using a suitable adhesive. As the stopper 30 and 32, is 1.0mm in length, outside diameter 0.4 mm, inner diameter may be used stainless steel pipe having a slightly larger dimension than the outer diameter of the guide wire 20. Distance of the stopper 30, 32, protective stent 40 is greater than the length of time in the extended reduced diameter state.
The protective stent 40 is thus held between the stopper 30 and 32, the protective stent 40 is a free state without being fixed to any of the stopper 30, 32. That is, the protection stent 40, also free to insert the guide wire 20 from any of the opening at both ends of the tubular body, and may be derived.
That is, the protection stent 40, when it is housed inside the protective stent for microcatheter 12, as the free state from any of the stopper 30 of the distal side of the stopper 32 and the base end side, elongated in the scope of protection stent retaining portion 31 It is stretched. The protective stent 40, in when drawn out of the protective stent for microcatheter 12, as a free state from either end side of the stopper 32 and the base end side of the stopper 30, reduced to its original shape in the axial direction , expands to its original shape in the radial direction, the guidewire 20, including the distal stopper 32 and the base end side of the stopper 30 from the both open ends of the extended tubular body is freely movable in the axial direction .
Coil 34 in FIG. 3, provided on the distal side of the guide wire 20 than the stopper 32, a member having a function of protecting the cutting edge sharp portion of the guide wire 20. The coil 34, by using the X-ray opaque material such as Pt, can function as a distal marker indicating the position of the distal end of the guide wire 20. Coil 34 is suitably fixed in the terminal side of the stopper 32 and the guide wire 20 adhesive.
As the coil 34, for example, a Pt wire made of may be used as the molded wound helically. As an example of a spiral coil dimensions, the outer diameter of 0.34 mm, can be inner diameter 0.20 mm, a length on the order of 32 mm.
(A) in FIG. 3, the protective stent 41 is stretched elongated axially, it is a diagram showing a state housed in the protective stent for microcatheter 12. Here, as at least protect the stent retaining portion 31 is located inside of the microcatheter 12 for protecting the stent, relative to the guide wire 20 is microcatheter 12 for protecting the stent are pulled proximally.
3 (b) is protected stent 40, gone restrained by the inner diameter of the protective stent for microcatheter 12 is a diagram showing a state in which back in outer diameter and length when the braided which has been shape-memory . Here, as at least protect the stent retaining portion 31 is located outside of the microcatheter 12 for protecting a stent, guide wire 20 is to protect the stent for microcatheter 12, it protrudes distally.
FIG. 3 (c), protecting the stent 40 is a diagram showing a state in which detached from the protection stent retaining portion 31 of the guide wire 20. In clinical protection stent 40 remains placed in the embolic stenosis, the guide wire 20 corresponds to a state that is recovered from the body along the guiding catheter 100 with microcatheter 12 for protecting the stent. Here, the guide wire 20 is also microcatheter 12 for protecting the stent are also pulled proximal to the protective stent 40.
Effect of the protective stent catheter apparatus 10 having the above structure will become more apparent by the description of reference is how in clinical. Hereinafter, using the example of extending the embolic stenosis embolic stenosis 62 in the blood vessel 60 of the brain, explaining how used protective stent catheter apparatus 10.
Figure 4 is a flowchart showing a procedure for protecting a stent catheter device 10 is used in clinical, FIGS. 5-7, the protection stent catheter device 10 is a diagram for explaining a state to be applied in the clinic.
To install the embolic constricted expanding the stent embolic stenosis 62 in the blood vessel 60 of the brain, first, the guiding catheter 100 is inserted into the patient (step S10). Specifically, as described with reference to FIG. 2, from the femoral artery or the like of the patient 8, guiding catheter 100 is inserted to the vicinity of the carotid artery 6.
Next, microcatheter 12 is inserted along the guiding catheter 100 for protecting the stent (step S12). Specifically, as described with reference to FIG. 2, the guiding catheter 100 is inserted protected stent for microcatheter 12, first from the carotid artery 6, only the protective stent for microcatheter 12 sites embolic stenosis 62 the aim is advanced.

Vascular 60 is in normal site is an inner diameter D A, the embolic constriction 62, whose inner diameter at the narrowest place D N1, and the blood flow becomes poor. Embolic constriction 62, caused by such atheroma called atheroma 63 an embolic material, Konagan material is deposited on the inner vessel wall. In the following, proceed as examples of dimensions, 4 mm normal inner diameter D A of the vessel 60, the length L N = 10 mm embolic constriction 62, described as the narrowest inner diameter D N1 = 1.5 mm. This dimension is an example for explaining the relationship between the dimensions of the protective stent 40, of course, be other than this.
Returning to Figure 4, the microcatheter 12 for protecting a stent, the protective stent 41 stretched elongated guidewire 20 mounted on the distal side is inserted (step S14). Figure 6 is a protective stent catheter device 10 is a diagram showing a state that is inserted into the embolic constriction 62. In the above example, since the outer diameter of the protective stent for micro catheter 12 is 0.9 mm, narrower than the narrowest inner diameter D N1 = 1.5 mm embolic constriction 62. Therefore, in this case, through a microcatheter 12 for protection stent embolization stenosis 62 can then pass the guide wire 20 for mounting the protective stent 41 distally to the inner diameter of the protective stent for microcatheter 12.
Incidentally, the narrowest inner diameter D N1 embolic constriction 62, when the diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the protective stent for micro catheter 12, using a balloon catheter device described below, slightly expand the inner diameter of the embolic constriction 62, thicker than the outer diameter of the protective stent for microcatheter 12, it is preferable to perform subsequent step S12, a step S14.
Returning again to FIG. 4, to expand the protection stent 40 in embolization constriction 62 (step S16). Specifically, in the protection stent catheter 10, relative guide wire 20 is moved to the end side of the protective stent for microcatheter 12, as protected stent retaining portion 31 is at the outside of the protective stent for microcatheter 12 to. This state is a state that is described in FIG. 3 (b), by expanding the protected stent 40 at the position of the embolic constriction 62, the protection stent 40 toward the wall surface of the embolic constriction 62 from the interior of the vessel 60 It will cover. 7 will be described later, is shown as a protection stent 42 expanded to follow the inner wall surface of the embolic constriction 62.
Thus, protection stent 40, the embolic constriction 62 to be expanded to cover toward the wall from the interior of the vessel 60, while observing the X-ray image of the coil 34, the positioning of the protective stent 40 in FIG. 6 it is necessary to carry out. Even deviated positioning slightly protective stent 40 to a length L N = 10 mm embolic constriction 62 can be sufficiently covered, the total length L s of the protective stent 40 is longer in than L N. In the above, it is set to the total length L s = 15 mm of the protective stent 40.
The protective stent 40 is indwelled in embolic constriction 62 (step S18). Specifically, the protection in the stent catheter device 10, already as an internal guide wire 20 of microcatheter 12 for protection stent moving proximally than the protective stent 40 is housed, the guide wire 20 is proximal It is drawn into the side. The protective stent for microcatheter 12 together with the guide wire 20, is collected outside the body through the guiding catheter 100 (step S20).
That state is the state described in FIG. 3 (c), the protective stent 40 has already been extended to cover toward the wall surface of the embolic constriction 62 from the interior of the vessel 60, also protects the stent 40 It is because it is a free state with respect to the stopper 30, 32, protective stent 42 also move guide wire 20 is not moved from its position. In other words, the protection stent 40 remains stuck to the inner wall of the embolic constriction 62.
This state is shown in FIG. 7 shows the center axis of the vessel 60, an external view of the upper half protection stent 42, the lower half are shown sectional view of the protective stent 42. Thus, protection stent 42 by its elasticity and stuck so as to cover toward the wall surface of the embolic constriction 62 from the interior of the vessel 60. That is, since the outer diameter of the protective stent 42 is shape memory is about 5 mm, can be extended outwardly sufficiently than the narrowest inner diameter D N1 inside diameter D A and embolic constriction 62 of the normal part of the blood vessel 60 elastic the has.
Thus, protection stent 40 may cover the embolic stenosis 62 as pressing firmly against the wall surface from the interior of the vessel 60. The braided diamond-shaped reticulated gaps protective stent 40, since it is set to 150μm from 50μm as above, atheroma 63 embolic constriction 62 is flaking or the like upon subsequent embolization stenosis expanded embolic can be prevented from scattering into the vessel 60 becomes material scrap.
In other words, the protection stent 40, rather than the function of the filter for collecting embolic material debris scattered into the vessel 60, has a function as a protective barrier material to prevent the embolic constriction 62 is flaking or the like. Reticulated gap are necessary for the elastic securing radial protection stent 40, at the same time, has a function to prevent the embolic constriction 62 thereof even if spalling or the like is scattered 60 in a blood vessel.
Next, a description will be given of a manner to extend the embolic stenosis using embolic stenosis expanding means.
Figures 8-12, the protection stent 40 is indwelled in embolic constriction 62, by utilizing the function as the protective wall material is a diagram for explaining how to extend the embolic stenosis 62. Specifically, a diagram to expand the embolic stenosis 62 using a balloon catheter device 50 an embolic stenosis expanding means showing a state of easily through the following support stent catheter device 80. Protection stent 40 in these processes, by its elasticity, is always stuck embolic stenosis 62 so as to cover toward the wall from the interior of the vessel 60.
8, after the protective stent 40 is indwelled in embolic constriction 62 is a diagram for explaining the procedure for embolic constriction 62 by a balloon catheter device 50 is expanded. Here, in step S20 described in FIG. 4, the protective stent catheter device 10 after being collected outside the body, subsequently, the balloon catheter device 50 is inserted. Specifically, microcatheter 52 for balloon is inserted, the guide wire 20 is inserted in succession thereto (step S22).
State of the balloon catheter device 50 is shown in FIG. 9 (a) shows the state of the balloon 71 folded, FIG. 9 (b), a state in which the expansion fluid 58 in the inner space of the folded balloon 71 is a balloon 70 which extends by being supplied It illustrates. As shown in FIG. 9, the balloon catheter apparatus 50 includes a guide wire 20, guide wire 20 is configured with a balloon micro-catheter 52 to be inserted therein. The guide wire 20 may be the same as that described in FIG.
Microcatheter 52 balloons are micro-catheter balloon 71 folded in a normal state on the outer periphery of its end side is provided. Balloon 71 folded is a plastic film-type body, so that its interior is sealed, those attached to the outer periphery of the balloon microcatheter 52. As the plastic film, it can be used, for example nylon elastomer.
A microcatheter 52 for balloon, apart from the through hole for inserting the guide wire 20, the expansion fluid passage 56 communicating with the internal space of the folded balloon 71 is provided along the axial direction. One end of the expansion fluid passage 56 is connected to the connection port 57 to open toward the interior space of the folded balloon 71, the other end is extended fluid supply provided at the base end side of the balloon microcatheter 52 It is connected to the mouth 54. Extended fluid supply port 54 is exposed in the outside of the patient 8, thereby the interior of the expansion fluid 58 from outside the patient's body 8, the expansion fluid supply port 54, the balloon 71 is folded over the expansion fluid passage 56 it can be supplied to the space. The expanded fluid 58, for example, can be a mixed fluid of the saline and contrast media.
Balloon 71 folded are formed plastic film is pre-shaping, when the internal space is decompressed state, as if folded like a state of pursed umbrella, the outer diameter is extremely small. Its state is shown in FIG 9 (a). Then, by expanding fluid 58 to the interior space is pressurized is supplied, the balloon 70 has been expanded as unfolded umbrella. Its state is shown in FIG 9 (b). When the expansion fluid 58 from FIG. 9 (b) is reduced is recovered, expanded balloon 70 is returned to the balloon 71 folded again.
9, the outer diameter of the folded balloon 71, for example from about 1.0mm to about 1.3mm approximately. Further, the axial length of the expanded balloon 70 and L B, when the outer diameter during expansion and D B, L B is the same extent as the length L N of the embolic constriction 62, thus, protective shorter than the total axial length L s of the stent 40. D B is able acceleration by the supply pressure of the expansion fluid 58, as the maximum value is preferably larger than the inner diameter D A of the normal portion of the vessel 60.
As noted above, changes to the balloon 70 which is extended from the balloon 71 collapsed, since the moderated by the supply pressure of the expansion fluid 58, can generate expansion force corresponding to the supply pressure, thereby , thereby expanding the embolic constriction 62 also may be to assist the self-expanding force of the support stent 90 described in FIG. 13 or later.
Figure 10 is a diagram showing how the balloon catheter device 50 is inserted into the embolic constriction 62. In the above example, since the outer diameter of the folded balloon 71 is about 1.0mm to about 1.3 mm, it is possible to pass through the embolic stenosis 62. Since embolization constriction 62 is already firmly covered with the protective stent 40, even if it contacts the embolic constriction 62 at its outer periphery, such as when the balloon 71 folded passes, scatters embolic material scraps 60 within the vessel it is prevented that.
Returning to FIG. 8 again, then expansion of the balloon 71 is performed in the embolic constriction 62 (step S24). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), is supplied to the internal space of the balloon 71 expanding fluid 58 is folded, the balloon 70 is expanded thereby. This state is shown in FIG. 11. Here, embolic constriction 62 is expanded by the supply pressure of the expansion fluid 58 (step S26), the narrowest inside diameter is shown embolic constriction 64 became D N2. The inner diameter D N2 of the expanded embolic constriction 64 is enough to insert the support stent catheter device 80, which will be described in FIG. 13 or later, for example, may be about 3 mm.
Thus expanded embolic stenosis 64 has is formed, as shown in FIG. 8, then shrunk balloon 70 is performed (step S28). Specifically recovered extended fluid 58, further depressurized, becomes small interior space of the expanded balloon 70 is returned to the state it folded balloon 71.
Then, the balloon catheter device 50 is recovered. More specifically, the guide wire 20, microcatheter 52 for balloon through the guiding catheter 100, is recovered from the body of the patient 8 (step S30).
This state is shown in FIG. 12. Although embolic constriction 64 which is extended to the inner diameter D N2 is formed as described above, at this time, further extended protection stent 42 following the embolic constriction 64 which is extended by its elasticity, was expanded embolic the constriction 64 is held down so as to cover toward the wall from the interior of the vessel 60. In Figure 12, this state is illustrated as a protective stent 43 further extended. Although FIG. 12, similarly to FIG. 7, external view of the upper half protection stent 43 with respect to the central axis of the vessel 60, the lower half are shown sectional view of the protective stent 43.
Next, a description will be given of a manner of installing the embolic constriction, extended support stent.
Figure 17 Figure 13, the balloon catheter device 50 supporting stent 90 to embolization constriction 64 which is extended by (second stent) indwelling, the embolic constriction 64 supports remain expanded sufficiently blood it is a diagram showing how to improve the flow.
13, after the expanded embolic stenosis 64 has been formed, a procedure when the support stent 90 is indwelled in embolic constriction 64 with supporting stent catheter device 80 (second stent placement means) Description it is a diagram. Here, in step S30 described in FIG. 8, the balloon catheter device 50 after being collected outside the body, subsequently, the support stent catheter device 80 is inserted. Specifically, the guide wire 20 is inserted microcatheter 82 for supporting the stent back and forth to be inserted (step S32).
State of the support stent catheter device 80 is shown in Figure 14. In FIG. 14 (a), cross-sectional view of the support stent 91 in the state that contraction is housed inside the support stent for microcatheter 82, (b), the support stent 91 is microcatheter supporting stent sectional view when 82 is drawn outside the expanded support stent 90, (c), leaving the expanded support stent 90, when the guide wire 20 and the support stent for micro catheter 82 is recovered it is a cross-sectional view of.
As shown in FIG. 14 (a) (c), the support stent catheter apparatus 80 includes a support stent for microcatheter 82 including the outer cylinder part 84 (the outer catheter) and the inner cylinder portion 86 (inner catheter), configured to include a guide wire 20 to be inserted into the interior of the inner cylindrical portion 86. The guidewire 20 may be the same as that described in FIG.
The support stent 90, since its changing the outer diameter and when in the outer case to be within the outer cylindrical portion 84, 14, and the support stent 90 at the outside of the outer tube portion 84, the outer cylinder in the support stent 91 in the interior parts 84, changes sign.
Support stent for micro catheter 82, the inner cylinder portion 86 and the outer cylindrical portion 84 is a cylindrical portion of the double structure axially movable to each other. Outer tubular portion 84 includes an inner cylindrical portion 86 therein, in particular by its inner diameter, a cylindrical member which has a function of defining the outer diameter of the support stent is held in the inner cylinder portion 86. The outer cylindrical portion 84 has been chosen as the medical, can be used urethane tube, plastic tube such as nylon tubing. Ensure strength, it can also be used by embedding a stainless steel mesh. As an example of dimensions, an outer diameter of about 2 mm, tube wall thickness of the tube of about 0.2 mm, it can be used overall length of about 1600 mm.
The inner cylindrical portion 86, the guide wire 20 has a slide path for accommodating therein in the axial direction can slide as the inner diameter, the outer peripheral portion of the distal side to hold the support stent 90 supporting stent retaining portion 89 (second stent holding portion) is a cylindrical member having a. Support stent holding portion 89 is formed as a thin portion of the outer diameter from the arrowhead-like portion 88 which is provided at the end of the distal side along the axial direction of the inner cylinder portion 86. That is, instruction stent retaining portion 89 is a small diameter portion provided on the outer periphery of the inner cylindrical portion 86, the interval is greater than the length of the support stent 90 of extension reduced diameter state. The inner cylindrical portion 86 has been chosen as the medical, it may be used as the molded urethane tube, a plastic tube such as a nylon tube into a predetermined shape.
As an example of dimensions of the inner cylindrical portion 86, 0.52 mm inner diameter of the guide wire 20 is inserted, an outer diameter of about 1.6mm of the portion excluding the support stent holding portion 89, the outer diameter of the support stent holding portion 89 but 0.90 mm, the axial length L SES about 10mm of the support stent holding portion 89, can be used overall length of about 1600 mm.
Support stent 90 in the expanded state, the shape memory such as Ni-Ti alloy is formed of a material having superelastic, but external force is contracted radially deformed by being added, the external force is removed, the original a stent having the characteristics back to an outer diameter that is of shape memory. The support stent 90 has a length as to diameter by the external force is applied may be one extending. As the support stent 90, and suitably provided with a plurality of holes (gaps) in the laser processing or the like formed tubular member of Ni-Ti alloy, having been subjected to the shape memory and superelastic processing and woven wire material or the like can be used but those having a gap. Gap comprising a plurality of holes or wire spacing, when an external force is applied, is provided in order to easily deformed in the radial direction. This gap, since function of preventing separation of the embolic material waste as protective stent 40 is not to be expected, and may increase as compared to the protection stent 40.
Place the support stent 90 in the expanded state to the support stent holding portion 89 of the inner cylinder portion 86, with a suitable arrangement jig, restricting the outer diameter of the support stent 90 by the inner diameter of the outer tube portion 84 at the position by deflating deformed radially so that it is possible to house the support stent 91 of a contracted state into the outer tube portion 84. The support so that the stent retaining portion 89 is at the outside of the outer tube portion 84, by contrast inner cylindrical portion 86 of the outer cylindrical portion 84 is moved proximally, contracted support, extended support stent 91 of state it can be returned to the state of the stent 90. Expansion force of the support stent 90 is greater than the protective stent 40.
As the dimensions of the support stent 90, as shown in FIG. 14, when the outer diameter of the expanded support stent 90 and D SES, the length in the axial direction and L SES, D SES is normal vascular 60 larger than the inner diameter D a such, L SES is preferably shorter than the total length L s of protective stent 40. For example, in the above example, it can be about 5 mm, about 10mm to L SES the D SES.
Figure 15 is a diagram showing the inserted state at the support stent catheter device 80 the embolic constriction 64 which is extended. In the above example, the outer diameter since about 2mm of the outer cylindrical portion 84 which constitutes a support stent for microcatheter 82 can pass through the embolic constriction 64 which is extended. Since expanded embolic stenosis 64 has been is already firmly covered with the protective stent 43, even if it contacts the embolic constriction 64 at its outer periphery, such as when the support stent catheter device 80 passes, embolic material debris from the vessel 60 being scattered within is prevented.
Returning to Figure 13 again, then, the embolic constriction 64, expansion of the support stent 90 is performed (step S34). Specifically, as the support stent holding part 89 out to the outside of the outer tube portion 84, by contrast inner cylindrical portion 86 of the outer cylindrical portion 84 is moved proximally, the support stent 91 contracted state back to extended support stent 90. At this time, since the extension force of the support stent 90 is set so as not to damage the inner vessel wall, but does not reach up to vascular inside diameter D A of when the inner diameter of the embolization stenosis 64 normal, by reliably support stent 90 it is possible to maintain the expanded state of the embolic constriction 64.
This state is shown in FIG. 16. Here, the outer diameter of the expanded support stent 93, since not returned to an outer diameter which is shape memory, a state in which pressing the inner wall of the blood vessel 60 by its elasticity. In Figure 16, in distinction from the extended support stent 90 of FIG. 14, it is shown as a support stent 93 which is in close contact with the blood vessel 60. In this case, the protection stent 43, and enhanced embolic stenosis 64 has been so positioned between the support stents 93, the support stent 93 is also pressed to the inner wall of the blood vessel 60 by its elasticity, embolic material scrap There being scattered to 60 within the vessel is prevented.
Thus the support stent 93 through the protective stent 43 is in a state of close contact with the blood vessel 60, as shown in FIG. 13, placement process of the support stent 93 is performed next (step S36). Specifically, the inner cylindrical portion 86 is drawn into the outer tubular portion 84 together with the guide wire 20.
That state is the state described in FIG. 14 (c), the support stent 93 has already expanded the embolic stenosis 64 so as to press against the wall from the interior of the vessel 60, The support stent 93 since not fixed to the support stent holding portion 89 of the inner cylinder portion 86, inner cylindrical portion 86 and the guide wire 20 and the support stent 93 also moves does not move from that position. In other words, the support stent 93 is pressed against the inner wall of the embolic stenosis 64 through the protective stent 43.
In this way, by supporting the stent 93 presses the inner wall of the embolic stenosis 64 through the protective stent 43, a more stable expanded state embolic constriction 64 of the vessel 60 without causing embolic material debris both can maintain its state, it is possible to improve the flow of blood.
In this way, extending the embolic constriction 66 to the state in which blood flow is sufficiently improved, when the expanded state of the inner wall of the embolic constriction 66 held down through the protective stent 40 in the support stent 90 , the support stent catheter device 80 is recovered. Specifically, first microcatheter 82 supporting stent is collected outside the body of the patient 8 through the guiding catheter 100 (step S38), the patient 8 through the guide wire 20 is guiding catheter 100 in longitudinal and this It is collected in the extracorporeal (step S40).
Incidentally, as seen from the blood flow, when the expansion of the embolic constriction 64 is considered inadequate, 1, although not shown in the flowchart of FIG. 13, once recovered the support stent catheter device 80, using a balloon catheter device 50 again (embolus stenosis expansion means), we can further extend the embolic stenosis 64. In this case, an outer diameter that is shape memory outer diameter and protection stent 40 that the shape memory of the support stent 90 is greater than the normal inner diameter D A of the vessel 60, both were further expanded embolic stricture follows the shape of the part 66, securely protects the inner wall of the blood vessel 60, also can be pressed (see FIG. 17).
State of the way is shown in Figure 17. Here, as a result of the final embolic constriction 66 is expanded, the narrowest inner diameter is shown as D N3. The protective stent 40 also support stent 90 also has to follow the expansion by the respective elastic, its state is shown as a protection stent 45, the support stent 95. Note that FIG. 17 is similar to FIG. 7, FIG. 12, the center axis of the vessel 60, an external view of the upper half support stent 95, and the lower half shows the cross-sectional view of the protective stent 45 and the support stent 95 there.
Again back to FIG. 13, guiding catheter 100 is withdrawn from the body of the patient 8 (step S42), whereby the treatment for a series of emboli stenosis in a blood vessel 60 is completed.
As an example for use in clinical in the foregoing is directed to embolic stenosis in cerebrovascular, as the object is not limited to cerebrovascular, it can be applied to the lumen general biological. The size of the embolic stenosis is an example for explanation.
