Definitions
- This invention relates to devices for maintaining blood vessels or other body ducts m an open condition, and more particularly to a coil wire stent having selected flex/stiffness orientations
- Vascular medical treatment procedures are known to include, among other things, occluding a blood vessel by thrombogenic devices, and maintaining the blood vessels open by use of a stent Stents typically used m the past have consisted of a stainless steel tube section which includes selectively positioned gaps or openings which enable the section to be expanded, for example, by a balloon catheter, after the section is positioned at the desired location m the blood vessel
- the expansion of the tubular section may be likened m some aspect to the expansion of a molly bolt cartridge m which two ends are drawn together causing the center section to bow outwardly
- Problems with the above prior art stent are that the length changes when the tubular section is expanded (the length shortened) , and the length of the stent is limited since the longer is the length, the more difficult it is to deliver the stent to a target location in the blood vessel That is, the stent, being rigid, does not navigate well m the blood vessel, especially around tight corners Further, since the described
- vasculature stent adapted for disposition in a blood vessel or other body duct to maintain the vessel or duct walls apart to allow the flow of blood or other duct function
- This embodiment includes an elongate resilient wire or tube formed into a coil, which may be threaded lengthwise into and through a catheter for ultimate discharge therefrom to a target location in the blood vessel or duct When the wire is discharged from the catheter, it resumes the coil form to thereby hold the vessel or duct walls apart
- the coil wire includes cuts selectively located on the exterior of the wire to provide flexibility in the direction of greatest curvature of the wire, and stiffness in the direction of least curvature of the wire This enables the wire to be flexible for uncoiling the wire into an elongate shape for introduction into a catheter, while also allowing the wire to remain stiff in the transverse direction of the coil so that it is not easily compacted in that direction thereby serving to better maintain the vessel or duct patency
- the stent is formed from a hollow wire or tube, with cuts or openings formed to allow dispersion there through of medication carried m the hollow of the wire.
- a stent carrying medication or a therapeutic agent may be deposited in a vessel or duct so that the medication or agent flows from the stent to the vessel or duct walls to treat the problem - e.g. anti-restenosis agent, thrombolytic agent, etc.
- FIG. 1 is a side, cross-sectional view of a vascular/duct stent deployed in a blood vessel to maintain the blood vessel walls apart, in accordance with the principles of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a side, cross-sectional view of the vascular/duct stent of FIG. 1 threaded lengthwise inside a catheter;
- FIG. 3A is a fragmented, front view of the coil of FIG. 1, showing cuts formed in the stent to provide desired flexibility in the direction of greatest curvature of the stent;
- FIG. 3B is a fragmented, side view of the vascular/duct stent of FIG. 1, showing cuts formed in the stent to provide desired flexibility, but with greater stiffness, in the direction of least curvature of the stent; and
- FIG. 4 shows a side view of a section of a stent illustrating the difference in depths of the cuts formed in a stent in one embodiment of the invention.
- the stent of the present invention is formed of an elongate resilient wire or tube formed into a coil 4 (FIG. 1) which may be threaded lengthwise into and through a catheter 12 (FIG. 2) for ultimate discharge therefrom to a target location, for example, in a blood vessel 8 (FIG. 1) .
- the wire stent 4 is formed to assume the shape of a coil when unconstrained but is flexible enough to be pulled or extended into an elongate shape for threading in a catheter as shown in FIG. 2.
- the stent wire 4 may be tubular or solid and may, advantageously, be made of nickel-titanium alloy.
- the stent wire 4 is formed to provide preferential flexure/stiffness orientation which enables the coil to remain open and maintain the open profile of the vessel 8, i.e., to resist collapsing.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B show fragmented views, front and side, respectively of the wire 4 of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3A shows cuts 16 and 20 formed generally transversely of the wire on the outside and inside respectively of the coils to provide greater flexibility in the direction of greatest curvature of the wire. This allows for easier navigation and delivery of the wire 4 through a catheter to target locations in blood vessels or other body ducts. Flexibility may be increased in one of a number of ways including making the cuts 16 and 20 deeper, providing more of such cuts, making such cuts wider, or a combination of these approaches. See, for example, co-pending U.S. patent application, Serial No. 09/025,912, filed February 19, 1998.
- the stent resumes the coil shape shown in FIG. 1 to spread and maintain apart the walls of the blood vessel.
- the coil 4 be as resistant to collapsing as possible.
- cuts formed in the wire in the direction of least bending i.e., on the forward and rearward sides of the wire, are either fewer in number, more shallow, less wide, or a combination of these.
- Such cuts 24 on the rearward side of the coil 4 and 28 on the forward side of the coil are shown in FIG. 3B. It is noted that the cuts 24 and 28 are shown to be fewer in number than cuts 16 and 20 of FIG. 3A as well as being more shallow. In this manner, some flexibility in the direction of least curvature of the wire achieved but greater stiffness and rigidity is maintained in this direction so that there is less likelihood that the coil, when deployed in a blood vessel, will collapse.
- FIG. 4 depicts, schematically, cuts 16a and 20a formed in the outside and inside of the coil 4 to be deeper than cuts 24a and 28a formed on the rearward and forward sides respectively of the coil.
- a stent is provided which is readily deployable into a blood vessel or other body duct and yet which is sufficiently rigid to maintain the blood vessel in an open condition. This is achieved by providing a selectively flexible coil which may be threaded lengthwise through a catheter to a target location in the blood vessel but when discharged from the catheter, the wire resumes its coil shape and is fairly stiff and rigid in a direction to prevent collapsing of the coil. The selective flexibility is achieved by the appropriate micromachining or placement of cuts in the coil wire.
- An alternative embodiment to that described above involves employment of a hollow or tubular wire 4 to construct the stent, and provision of openings or cuts, such as those shown at 16 in FIG. 3A, preferably on the outside of the wire to allow medication or therapeutic agents carried in the hollow of the wire to flow thereout.
- the stent would be deployed in a blood vessel or duct in the manner described above, but with the stent carrying medication in the hollow of the wire 4.
- the openings or cuts 16 on the outside of the wire would allow flow therethrough of medication carried by the wire.
- the openings or cuts would flex open further when the wire 4 resumed the coil shape (FIGS. 3A and 3B) from the elongate shape (FIG. 2) .
- a sleeve or coating 32 (FIG. 3B) could be disposed on the exterior of the stent and provided with perforations, cuts or ports to control the dispersion of the medication (by selected location of the perforations, cuts or ports) .
- a liner 36 (FIG. 3B) with perforations, cuts or ports could be provided in the hollow of the wire 4.
- the sleeve, coating or liner could advantageously be made of urethane or other suitable plastic.
