Description
MEANS AND METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT OF
CORONARY ARTERY OBSTRUCTIONS
FIELD OF USE
This invention is in the field of stents to create and maintain patency of vessels of a human body.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Stents have been placed in the arteries of human subjects for more than ten years. A continuing problem for these devices is that re~tenosis occurs in many patients, particularly when the stent is implanted in a peripheral or coronary artery. One solution to this problem has been to coat stents with a drug that oozes out from the stent after it has been placed in an artery. As of the year 2001, stents coated with Taxol or Rapamycin have been used to decrease the rate of restenosis after stent implantation. However.
there are many other medications that can act with the same or increased efficacy as compared to Taxol or Rapamycin.
A significant need is for stents to have a coating that prevents subacute thrombosis as well as restenosis. Although some stents with heparin type coatings have been used in human subjects, no stent has combined a drug coating such as Taxol or Rapamycin with a heparin type coating to both decrease the rate of restenosis and decrease the rate of subacute thrombosis.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A preferred embodiment of this invention is a stent that is coated with an anti-restenosis drug that is selected from the group that includes, Alkeran, Cytoxan, Leukeran, Cis-platinum, BiCNU, Adriamycin, Doxorubicin, Cerubidine, Idamycin, Mithracin, Mutamycin, Fluorouracil, Methotrexate, Thoguanine, Toxotere, Etoposide, Vincristine, Irinotecan, Hycamptin, Matulane, Vumon, Hexalin, Hydroicyurea, Gemzar, Onoovin, Etophophos, tacrolimus (FK506), and the following analogs of sirolimus: SDZ-RAD, CCI-779, 7-epi-rapamycin, 7-thiomethyl-rapamycin, 7-epi-trimethoxyphenyl-rapamycin, 7-epi-thiomethyl-rapamycin, 7-demethoxy-rapamycin, 32-demethoxy, 2-desmethyl and praline.
Typically, the drug would be placed onto or into a plastic coating such as paralene that is placed onto a metal stent. Drug coated stents could be used for a multiplicity of coronary arteries that would otherwise require the patient to have coronary artery bypass surgery. Explicitly, it is conceived that drug coated stents could be placed in at least three and as many as five coronary arteries that have diffuse and/or severe restenosis. As many as two stents per artery could be used for this purpose.
Another embodiment of this invention is to have a stent that has an anti-restenosis drug coated on its outer surface that is placed in contact with the arterial wall and the inner surface through which the blood flows is coated with an anti-thrombogenic coating such as heparin or phosphorocolene. Still further it is conceived that a stent could combine both an anti-restenosis dnrg and an anti-thrombogenic drug in a single coating that coats the entire surface of a stent.
These and other objects and advantages of this invention will become obvious to a person of orciinary skill in this art upon reading the detailed description of this invention inGuding the associated drawings as presented herein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows a cross section of a strut 2 of a typical prior art metal stent 1 that is used for placement into an artery of a human subject. These stents are typically laser cut from a thin-walled metal tube and then electro-chemically polished to round the edges of the struts.
FIG. 2 shows a typical stent strut 11 which is part of a stent 10. The strut 11 is coated with a flexible plastic 12 such as paralene or any one of a large variety elastomer materials such as silicone rubber, polyurethane, polyethylene, Nylon, PTFE, etc.
FIG. 3 is a cross section of a stent strut 21 that is part of a stent 20.
The strut 21 is coated with a flexible plastic coating 22 into which one or more drugs can be diffused. One class of drugs would be an anti-restenosis drug that is selected from the group that includes, Alkeran, Cytoxan, Leukeran, Cis-platinum, BiCNU, Adriamycin, Doxorubicin, Cerubidine, Idamycin, Mithracin, Mutamycin, Fluorouracil, IVlethotrexate, Thoguanine, Toxotere, Etoposide, Vincristine, Irinotecan, Hycamptin, Matulane, Vumon, Hexalin, Hydroxyurea, Gemzar, Oncovin, Etophophos, tacrolimus (FK506), and the following analogs of sirolimus: SDZ-RAD, CCI-779, 7-epi-rapamycin, 7-thiomethyl-rapamycin, 7-epi-trimethoxyphenyl-rapamycin, 7-epi-thiomethyl-rapamycin, 7-demethoxy-rapamycin, 32-demethoxy, 2-desmethyl and praline.
A second class of drugs that could be impregnated into the plastic coating 22 is an anti-thrombogenic drug such as heparin. It is of course possible to diffuse both an anti-restenosis drug and an anti-thrombogenic drug into the plastic coating 22.
FIG. 4 is a cross section of a stent strut 31 that is part of a stent 30.
The strut 31 is coated with a flexible plastic 32 that is coated on its exterior surface with either or both an anti-restenosis drug andlor an anti-thrombogenic drug. As with the stmt 20, the anti-restenosis drug would be selected from the group that inGudes, Alkeran, Cytoxan, Leukeran, Cis-platinum, BiCNU, Adriamycin, Doxorubicin, Cerubidine, Idamycin, Mithracin, Mutamycin, Fluorouracil, Methotrexate, Thoguanine, Toxotere, Etoposide, Vincrlstine, Irinotecan, Hycamptin, Matulane, Vumon, Hexalin, Hydroxyurea, Gemzar. Oncovin, Etophophos, tacrolimus (FK506), and the following analogs of sirolimus: SDZ-RAD, CCI-779, 7-epi-rapamycin, 7-thiomethyl-rapamycin, 7-epi-trimethoxyphenyl-rapamycin, 7-epi-thiomethyl-rapamycin, 7-demethoxy-rapamycin, 32-demethoxy, 2-desmethyl and proline.
FIG. 5 is a cross section of a stent strut 41 of a stent 40, the stent 40 being deployed so that its outer surface is placed against the arterial wall of a human subject. The outer portion 43 of the stent 40 being an outer surface of the stent 40 that is in contact with the arterial wall and the inner portion 44 of the stent 40 being in contact with blood that flows through the arterial lumen.
The strut 41 is coated with a flexible plastic material 42 onto which is coated an anti-restenosis drug on the outer portion 43. By releasing the anti-restenosis drug from the outer portion 43 into the arterial wall, the rate of 1C restenosis for the stent 40 will be considerably reduced. It should also be understood that the anti=i-estenosis drug could be a single drug or a combination of drugs selected from the group that includes, Alkeran, Cytoxan, Leukeran, Cis-platinum, BiCNU, Adriamycin, Doxorubicin, Cerubidine, Idamycin, Mithracin, Mutamycin, Fluorouracil, Methotrexate, Thoguanine, IS Toxotere, Etoposide, Vincristine, Irinotecan, Hycamptin, Matulane, Vumon, Hexalin, Hydroxyurea, Gemzar, Oncovin, Etophophos, tacrolimus (FK506}, and the following analogs of sirolimus: SDZ-RAD, CCI-779, 7-epi-rapamycin, 7-thiomethyl-rapamycin, 7-epi-trimethoxyphenyl-rapamycin, 7-epi-thiomethyl-rapamycin, 7-demethoxy-rapamycin, 32-demethoxy, 2-desmethyl and praline.
The inner portion 44 on the inner surface of the stent 40 is coated with an anti-thrombogenic drug that is designed to decrease the rate of acute and subacute thrombosis that can result when the bare metal of the stent 40 is exposed to blood flow.
Although the stmt 41 of FIG. 5 shows the anti-restenosis drug and the anti-thrombogenic drug coated onto the exterior surface of the plastic coating 42, it should be understood that one or both of the drugs could be either coated onto the surface of the plastic coating 42 or one or both of the drugs could be diffused into the plastic coating 42. It should also be understood that one of the drugs could be placed entirely around the stent strut 41 while the other drug occupies either the outer portion 43 or the inner portion 44.
To fabricate a stent such as the stent 40, the metal struts 41 could be formed in a conventional manner, for example by laser cutting of a thin-walled metal tube. The plastic coating 42 could be formed in a conventional manner, for example by vapor deposition (for parylene) or by dipping (silicone rubber).
The outer portion 43 could be formed by expanding a balloon at Ivw pressure within the stent 40 and then placing the anti-restenosis drug into the outer portion 43 either by coating the plastic coating 42 or diffusing the drug into the plastic coating 42. The balloon would then be deflated and removed and the stent 40 placed into an elastic tube that would make firm contact with the outer portion 43 of the stent 40. One or more anti-thrombogenic drugs would then be made to flow through the tube until the inner portion 44 of the flexible plastic coating 42 was coated with the anti-thrombogenic drug or the drug was caused to diffuse into the plastic coating 42.
t 5 It should also be understood that when the stent is placed into the patient, the patient could also take either or both an anti-restenosis drug or an anti-thrombogenic drug by mouth, by injection or by any other means that would place the dnrg systemically throughout the patient's body. It is further understood that one type of drug could be placed on the stent white a second and/or third type could be systemically administered. It is further understood that either or both the drugs Plavix and/or aspirin could be given after stent implantation with or without any other drug.
Another embodiment of the present invention is the use of an anta ~ restenosis drug that is delivered locally at the site where a stent has been deployed in a stenosis. FIG. 6A shows a stent 80 that has been deployed into an arterial stenosis. FIG. 6B shows a balloon catheter 90 having an inner shaft 92, an outer shaft 94 and a balloon 95. The balloon 95 has a multiplicity of tiny holes through which an anti-restenosis drug can be local delivered into the region that surrounds the stent 80. The anrows 96 show the direction and placement of drug injection into the tissue that surrounds the stent 80. The drug to be injected would be selected from the group that includes Alkeran, Cytoxan, Leukeran, Cis-platinum, BiCNU, Adriamycin, Doxorubicin, Cerubidine, Idamycin, Mithracin, Mutamycin, Fluorouracil, Methotrexate, Thoguanine, Toxotere, Etoposide, Vincristine, Irinotecan, Hycamptin, Matulane, Vumon, Hexalin, Hydroxyurea, Gemzar, Oncovin, Etophophos, tacrolimus (FK506), and the following analogs of sirolimus: SDZ-RAD, CCI-779, 7-epi-rapamycin, 7-thiomethyl-rapamycin, 7-epi-trimethoxyphenyl-rapamycin, 7-epi-thiomethyl-rapamycin, 7-demethoxy-rapamycin, 32-demethoxy, 2-desmethyl and profine.
Although the stent 80 could be a conventional metal stent, ideally the stent 80 would be coated with an anti-restenosis drug so as to decrease the 1U possibility of acute or subacute thrombosis.
Various other modifications, adaptations and alternative designs are of course possible in light of the teachings as presented herein. Therefore it should be understood that, while still remaining within the scope and meaning of the appended claims, this invention could be practiced in a manner other than that which is specifically described herein.
