Definitions
- the aorta is the main trunk, or artery, from which the systemic arterial system proceeds. It arises from the left ventricle ofthe heart, passes upward, bends over and passes down through the thorax and through the abdomen to about the level of the fourth lumbar vertebra, where it divides into the two common iliac arteries.
- the aneurvsm usually arises in the infrarenal portion of the diseased aorta, for example, below the kidneys. When left untreated, the aneurysm may eventually cause rupture of the sac with ensuing fatal hemorrhaging in a very short time. High mortality associated with the rupture led initially to transabdominal surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Surgery involving the abdominal wall, however, is a major undertaking with associated high risks. There is considerable mortality and morbidity associated with this magnitude of surgical intervention, which in essence involves replacing the diseased and aneurysmal segment of blood vessel with a prosthetic device which typically is a synthetic tube, or graft, usually fabricated of Polyester,
- Parodi, et al. provide one of the first clinical descriptions of this therapy.
- Parodi, J.C., et al. "Transfemoral Intraluminal Graft Implantation for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms," 5 Annals of Vascular Surgery 491 (1991).
- Endovascular grafting involves the transluminal placement of a prosthetic arterial graft within the lumen ofthe artery.
- an endoluminal prosthesis comprising an elongate flexible wire, formed into a plurality of axially adjacent tubular segments spaced along an axis, each tubular segment comprising a zig-zag section ofthe wire, having a plurality of proximal bends and distal bends.
- the wire continues between each adjacent tubular segment.
- At least two side-by-side wire segments joined by a first bend on a first tubular element extend through and interlock around a portion of a second tubular segment to provide a moveable link.
- the prosthesis is radially compressible into a first, reduced cross-section for implantation into a body lumen, and self expandable to a second, enlarged cross-sectional configuration at a treatment site in a body lumen.
- each axially adjacent pair of segments is characterized by an interface therebetween, wherein at least some of the proximal bends on one segment align with distal bends on the other segment to provide an opposing apex pair, and at least 30% of the apex pairs in a given interface are interlocked.
- Figure 3 is a plan view of a formed wire useful for rolling about an axis into a multi- segment support structure in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 4 is an enlarged detail view of a portion ofthe formed wire illustrated in Figure 3.
- Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 8-8 in Figure 7.
- Figures 6A, 7A, 8A, 7B, 8B, 7C, and 7D illustrate alternate embodiments of a folded link constructed from an opposing apex pair.
- Figure 10 is a cross-section taken along the line 10-10 in Figure 9.
- Figure 11 is a schematic view of a portion of a wall of a graft, laid out flat, illustrating an alternating folded link pattern.
- Figure 17 is a schematic representation of a bifurcated vascular prosthesis in accordance with the present invention, positioned at the bifurcation between the abdominal aorta and the right and left common iliac arteries.
- the sleeve may be attached to the wire support by any of a variety of means, including laser bonding, adhesives, clips, sutures, dipping or spraying or others, depending upon the composition of the sleeve 44 and overall graft design.
- the polymeric sleeve 44 may be formed from any of a variety of synthetic polymeric materials, or combinations thereof, including PTFE, PE, PET, Urethane, Dacron. nylon, polyester or woven textiles.
- the sleeve material exhibits relatively low inherent elasticity, or low elasticity out to the intended enlarged diameter ofthe wire cage 46.
- the sleeve material preferably has a thin profile, such as no larger than about 0.002 inches to about 0.005 inches.
- a central portion 57 of the prosthesis spans the aneurysm, and anchoring is less of an issue. Instead, maximizing lumen diameter and minimizing blood flow through the prosthesis wall become primary objectives.
- the polymeric sleeve 44 may either be nonporous. or provided with pores of relatively lower porosity
- a multi-zoned prosthesis 42 may also be provided in accordance with the present invention by positioning a tubular sleeve 44 on a central portion 57 of the prosthesis, such that it spans the aneurysm to be treated, but leaving a proximal attachment zone 55 and a distal attachment zone 59 of the prosthesis 42 having exposed wires from the wire support 46.
- the exposed wires 46 are positioned in contact with the vessel wall both proximally and distallv ofthe aneurysm, such that the wire, over time, may become embedded in cell growth on the interior surface ofthe vessel wall.
- a Chromium-Nickel-Molybdenum alloy such as that marketed under the name Conichrom (Fort Wayne Metals. Indiana) has a tensile strength ranging from 300 to 320 K psi. elongation of 3.5 - 4.0%.
- the wire may be treated with a plasma coating and be provided with or without additional coatings such as PTFE, Teflon, Perlyne and drugs.
- additional coatings such as PTFE, Teflon, Perlyne and drugs.
- another determinant of radial strength is wire gauge.
- the radial strength, measured at 50% of the collapsed profile preferably ranges from about 0.2 lb to 0.8 lb, and generally from about 0.4 lb to about 0.5 lb. or more.
- w is about 2.0 mm ⁇ 1 mm for a 0.018 inch wire diameter.
- Dl is about 3 mm ⁇ 1 mm. and d is about 20 mm ⁇ 1 mm.
- Specific dimensions for all of the foregoing variables can be varied considerably, depending upon the desired wire configuration, in view ofthe disclosure herein.
- dl is generally within the range of from about 1 mm to about 4 mm and d2 is within the range of from about 5 mm to about 9 mm.
- a longer d2 dimension permits accommodation for greater axial travel of apex 78 with respect to 76. as will be discussed, thereby permitting greater lateral flexibility of the graft.
- Wl is within the range of from about 3 mm to about 5 mm, and W2 is sufficiently less than Wl that the apex 76 can fit within the apex 78.
- Circumferential portion 81 provides a stop, to limit axial compressibility of the graft.
- the closed aperture 83 can be formed by winding the wire of the apex about a mandrel either in the direction illustrated in Figure 7B. or the direction illustrated in Figure 7C.
- the embodiment of Figure 7C advantageously provided only a single wire thickness through the aperture 77, thereby minimizing the wall thickness of the graft. This is accomplished by moving the crossover point outside of the aperture 77. as will be apparent from Figure 7C.
- the polymeric sleeve 44 extends across the aneurysm 40, but terminates in the infrarenal zone.
- a proximal zone 55 on the prosthesis 96 comprises a wire cage 46 but no polymeric sleeve 44.
- the prosthesis 96 still accomplishes the anchoring function across the renal arteries, yet does not materially interfere with renal perfusion.
- the polymeric sleeve 44 may cover anywhere from about 50%) to about 100% of the axial length of the prosthesis 96 depending upon the desired length of uncovered wire cage 46 such as for anchoring and/or lateral perfusion purposes.
- the polymeric sleeve 44 may cover within the range of from about 70% to about 80%, and, in one four segment embodiment having a single exposed segment. 75%, of the overall length of the prosthesis 96.
- the uncovered wire cage 46 may reside at only a single end of the prosthesis 96. such as for traversing the renal arteries. Alternatively, exposed portions of the wire cage 46 may be provided at both ends ofthe prosthesis such as for anchoring purposes.
- the proximal end 206 of the aortic trunk portion 200 has apexes 211-216 adapted for connection with the complementary apexes on the distal ends 208 and 210 of the right 202 and left 204 iliac branch portions, respectively.
- Complementary pairing of apexes is indicated by the shared numbers, wherein the right branch portion apexes are designated by (R) and the left branch portion apexes are designated by (L).
- Each of the portions may be formed from a continuous single length of wire. See Figure 23.
- the central or medial apex 213 in the foreground (anterior) of the aortic trunk portion 200 is linked with 213(R) on the right iliac portion 202 and 213(L) on the left iliac portion 204.
- the central apex 214 in the background (posterior) is linked with 214(R) on the right iliac portion 202 and 214(L) on the left iliac portion 204.
- Each of these linkages has two iliac apexes joined with one aortic branch apex.
- the linkage configurations may be of any of the variety described above in Figure 7A-D.
- the medial most apexes 218 (R) and (L) of the iliac branch portions 202 and 204 are linked together, without direct connection with the aortic truck portion 200.
- the medial apexes 213 and 214 function as pivot points about which the right and left iliac branches 202, 204 can pivot to accommodate unique anatomies.
- the right and left iliac branches 202, 204 are illustrated at an angle of about 45° to each other, they are articulable through at least an angle of about 90° and preferably at least about 120°.
- the illustrated embodiment allows articulation through about 180° while maintaining patency of the central lumen.
- the apexes 213 and 214 can be displaced proximally from the transverse plane which roughly contains apexes 21 1. 212. 215 and 216 by a minor adjustment to the fixture about which the wire is formed.
- pivot points 213, 214) in the illustrated embodiment are on the medial plane, they may be moved laterally such as, for example, to the axis of each of the iliac branches.
- each iliac branch will have an anterior and a posterior pivot link on or about its longitudinal axis, for a total of four unique pivot links at the bifurcation.
- the pivot points can be moved as far as to lateral apexes 211 and 216.
- Other variations will be apparent to those of skill in the art in view ofthe disclosure herein.

- the tubular body 122 and other components of this system can be manufactured in accordance with any of a variety of techniques well known in the catheter manufacturing field. Suitable materials and dimensions can be readily selected taking into account the natural anatomical dimensions in the iliacs and aorta, together with the dimensions of the desired percutaneous access site.
- the outer tubular sheath 128 has an axial length within the range of from about 40" to about 55", and. in one embodiment ofthe deployment device 120 having an overall length of 110 cm. the axial length ofthe outer tubular sheath 128 is about 52 cm and the outside diameter is no more than about .250". Thus, the distal end ofthe tubular sheath 128 is located at least about 16 cm proximally ofthe distal end 126 ofthe deployment catheter 120 in stent loaded configuration.
- a distal segment ofthe deployment catheter 120 comprises an outer tubular housing 138, which terminates distally in an elongate flexible tapered distal tip 140.
- the distal housing 138 and tip 140 are axially immovably connected to the central core 132 at a connection 142.
- the distal tip 140 preferably tapers from an outside diameter of about .225" at its proximal end to an outside diameter of about .070" at the distal end thereof.
- the overall length of the distal tip 140 in one embodiment of the deployment catheter 120 is about 3".
- the length and rate of taper of the distal tip 140 can be varied depending upon the desired trackability and flexibility characteristics.
- the distal end of the housing 138 is secured to the proximal end ofthe distal tip 140 such as by thermal bonding, adhesive bonding, and/or any of a variety of other securing techniques known in the art.
- the proximal end of distal tip 140 is preferably also directly or indirectly connected to the central core 132 such as by a friction fit and/or adhesive bonding.
