Definitions
- the invention relates to a dilatation catheter with a tube, the patient end of which opens into an expandable balloon, and with a tube section passing through the balloon, which is connected in a sealed manner to the distal end of the balloon and through which a guide wire can be passed.
- Such a dilatation catheter is described in The American Journal of Cardiology, Vol. 49, April 1, 1982, pages 1216 to 1222, and is used to widen constrictions in vessels and body cavities, in particular coronary arteries.
- An inflatable balloon is attached to the tip of such a dilatation catheter and can be filled or deflated via an inner lumen located in the catheter.
- a tube In the known dilatation catheter, a tube is provided which merges into a balloon at the front end.
- a tube extends through the interior of the balloon and the tube, which protrudes beyond the front end of the balloon and is connected in a sealed manner to the front end of the balloon.
- a guide wire is guided through the interior of the tube and can be moved relative to the balloon during the operation, so that the dilatation catheter can be advanced or retracted along the guide wire.
- the object of the invention is to create a dilatation catheter that can be easily guided along a guide wire and can be exchanged easily and simply for another dilatation catheter.
- proximal end of the uni ion is also fastened in a sealing manner to the tube section and the tube opens into the interior of the balloon offset laterally relative to the tube section.
- the tube section coming into contact with the surface of the guide wire only has approximately the length of the balloon and the tube no longer surrounds the guide wire and the guide tube surrounding it increases the manageability of the dilatation catheter.
- the controllability is significantly improved due to the lack of frictional forces in a long guide hose.
- the guide wire no longer needs to protrude from the patient's body by approximately the same length as the length of the dilatation catheter.
- FIG 1 shows the front part of the dilatation catheter according to the invention with the tube opening into the balloon
- FIG 3 shows a cross section through the dilatation catheter in the region of a gold marker in the balloon.
- FIG. 1 shows the front part of a dilatation catheter which, with the aid of a guide catheter (not shown in the drawing), has a diameter of a few millimeters and a length of about 1 m, for example from the right bar of a patient the entire length of the artery to the aorta and coronary arteries is demonstrated.
- a guide wire 1 is first introduced into the corresponding coronary artery through the guide catheter (not shown in the drawing).
- a section of the approximately 1 m long guide wire 1 is visible in FIG. 1.
- the guide wire 1 serves as an instrumentation rail for guiding the dilatation catheter.
- the dilatation catheter has a balloon 2 and a tube 3, which is shown cut off in FIG. 1 and also has a length of the order of 1 m. 2 shows a section through the guide wire 1 and the tube 3.
- the tube 3 serves, on the one hand, to transmit thrust and tensile forces for pushing back and forth and for rotating the balloon 2 on the guide wire 1. For this reason, it is expedient if the tube 3 is supported by a stabilizing wire 4 in the position shown in the figures 1 to 3 shown manner is reinforced.
- the tube 3 is used to inject liquids into the interior of the balloon 5, to expand the balloon 2 and to suction off liquids when the diameter of the balloon is to be reduced.
- the balloon consists of a balloon envelope 6 and a tube section 7. so that the balloon 2 has a balloon passage 8 which is sealed off from the balloon interior 5.
- the balloon feedthrough 8 allows the balloon 2 to be pushed onto the guide wire 1 and thereby guided on the guide wire 1.
- Fig. 3 you can see the substantially annular cross section of the balloon 2 with the balloon bushing 8 through which the guide wire 1 extends.
- the stabilizing wire 4 extends into the vicinity of the distal end 9 of the balloon 2.
- the balloon envelope 6 is formed as a hose segment 10 which is tightly connected to the distal end of the hose section 7.
- the balloon envelope 6 runs into at the proximal end Hose segment 11, which is sealingly connected to the proximal end of the hose section 7 and sealingly connected to the tube 3.
- the patient-side end 12 of the tube 3 pointing to the right in FIG. 1 ends in a taper 13 which is fastened to the tube section 7. Both in the taper 13 and in the rest of the patient-side end 12, radial openings 14 are provided in the tube 3, through which the liquid injected into the tube 3 can get from the tube 3 into the interior 5 of the balloon 2.
- FIGS. 1 and 3 also show gold strips 15 and 16, which are used in X-rays to mark the position of the dilatation catheter.
- FIG. 3 shows a cross section through the balloon 2 in the area of the gold stripe 15.
- the tube 3 with its inner lumen 17 and the tube section 7 with the balloon passage 8 are formed in one piece in the area shown in FIG. 3, so that the Gold stripe 15 has essentially an oval shape and not the shape of a number 8.
- the guide wire 1 can contain a central lumen (not shown in the drawing) for pressure measurement or a contrast medium.
- a contrast medium for pressure measurement or a contrast medium.
- the inside of the tube section 7 stiffened by the stabilizing wire 4 and / or the upper side of the guide wire 1 can be provided with a sliding layer.
- the guide wire 1 is first introduced into the corresponding coronary artery through the guide catheter.
- the guide wire 1 lies freely in the guide catheter and is thus easily rotatable and controllable. Sufficient contrast media can also be used for anatomical orientation.
- the tip of the guide wire 1 remains in the coronary vessel beyond the stenosis. Only now is the dilatation catheter according to the invention pushed onto the guide wire 1 outside the body and advanced on the rail formed by the guide wire 1 through the guide catheter into the coronary artery and over the constriction. If the balloon 2 is to be exchanged for a balloon 2 with a larger balloon width during the operation, it is possible in a simple manner to withdraw the dilatation catheter according to the invention, the guide wire 1 remaining with its front end in the coronary vessel and allowing the exchanged balloon to be safely guided without high frictional forces having to be overcome and the stenosis having to be searched again.
- the guide wire 1 can even remain in place for several hours in order to carry out a renewed dilation at a later time.
- the distal end 9 of the dilatation catheter is made flatter in the manner described above for better insertion into vascular constrictions.
- the invention allows balloons of different lengths, widths and wall thicknesses to be accommodated in a variable manner Pressures to provide and easy to replace.
- the dilatation catheters are equipped with tubes 3 of different strength and flexibility, which ensure different feeds.
- an additional inner lumen (not shown in the drawing) is provided, the front end of which extends as far as the distal end 9 of the balloon 2 and is connected to the inner space of the operated patient. This allows pressure measurements and contrast agent injections to be carried out.
- the guide wires 1 of a complete instrument set also have different strengths and flexibility.
- the guide wires 1 have soft, flexible tips, which can be shorter or longer, and straight or curved. If no additional inner lumen is provided in the balloon, a central lumen already mentioned above can be provided in the guide wires for pressure measurements and contrast agent injections.
Description
Dilatationskatheter
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dilatationskatheter mit einem Tubus, dessen patientenseitiges Ende in einen aufweitbaren Ballon mündet, und mit einem den Ballon durchquerenden Schlauchabschnitt, der mit dem distalen Ende des Ballons abgedichtet verbunden ist und durch den ein Führungsdraht hindurchführbar ist.
Ein derartiger Dilatationskatheter ist in The American Journal of Cardiology, Vol. 49, April 1, 1982, Seiten 1216 bis 1222, beschrieben und wird zur Aufweitung von Verengungen in Gefäßen und Körperhohlräumen, insbe¬ sondere von Koronararterien, verwendet. An der Spitze eines solchen Dilatationskatheters ist ein aufblasbarer Ballon angebracht, der über ein im Katheter befind¬ liches Innenlumen gefüllt oder entleert werden kann. -
Bei dem bekannten Dilatationskatheter ist ein Tubus vorgesehen, der am vorderen Ende in einen Ballon über¬ geht. Durch das Balloninnere und den Tubus erstreckt sich bei dem bekannten Dilatationskatheter ein Schlauch, der über das vordere Ende des Ballons vor¬ steht und mit dem vorderen Ende des Ballons abgedichtet verbunden ist. Durch das Innere des Schlauches ist ein Führungsdraht geführt, der während der Operation gegen¬ über dem Ballon verschoben werden kann, so daß der Dilatationskatheter entlang dem Führungsdraht vorge¬ schoben oder zurückgezogen werden kann. Beim Auswech- sein eines mit Hilfe eines Führungskatheters gelegten Dilatationskatheters ist es erforderlich, daß der Füh¬ rungsdraht um eine Länge aus dem Körper des Patienten herausragt, die größer ist als die Länge des Dilata¬ tionskatheters mit seinem Tubus. Aus diesem Grunde ist
die Handhabung des bekannten Dilatationskatheters schwierig, zumal die Reibungskräfte zwischen dem Füh¬ rungsdraht und dem den Ballon und den Tubus ganz durch¬ setzenden Schlauch groß sind.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfin¬ dung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Dilatationskatheter zu schaffen, das entlang einem Führungsdraht leicht ge¬ führt werden kann und leicht und einfach gegen ein anderes Dilatationskatheter ausgewechselt werden kann.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das proximale Ende des Uni Ions ebenfalls dichtend am Schlauchabschnitt befestigt ist und der Tubus gegenüber dem Schlauchabschnitt seitlich versetzt in das Ballon- innere mündet.
Dadurch, daß der mit der Oberfläche des Führungsdrahtes in Berührung kommende Schlauchabschnitt lediglich etwa die Länge des Ballons aufweist und der Tubus nicht mehr den Führungsdraht und den diesen umgebenden Führungs¬ schlauch umgibt, erhöht sich die Handhabbarkeit des Dilatationskatheters. Die Steuerbarkeit ist wegen des Fehlens der Reibungskräfte in einem langen Führungs- schlauch erheblich verbessert. Außerdem braucht der Führungsdraht wegen des verhältnismäßig kurzen Schlauchabschnitts nicht mehr etwa um die gleiche Länge aus dem Körper des Patienten herausragen, wie die Länge des Dilatationskatheters beträgt.
Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand des in der Zeich¬ nung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert. Es zeigen:
Fig. 1 den vorderen Teil des erfindungsgemäßen Dila¬ tationskatheters mit dem in den Ballon ein¬ mündenden Tubus,
Fig. 2 oinen QuorschnLtt durch den Dilatationskathe- ter im Bereich des neben dem Führungsdraht verlaufenden Tubus und
Fig. 3 einen Querschnitt durch den Dilatationskathe¬ ter im Bereich eines Goldmarkers im Ballon.
In Fig. 1 ist der vordere Teil eines Dilatationskathe¬ ters dargestellt, der mit Hilfe eines in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Führungskatheters mit einem Durch¬ messer von einigen Millimetern und einer Länge von etwa 1 m, beispielsweise von der rechten Leiste eines Pa¬ tienten über die gesamte Länge der Arterie bis zur Aorta und zu den Koronararterien vorgeführt wird. Durch den in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Führungskathe¬ ter wird zunächst ein Führungsdraht 1 in die entspre- chende Herzkranzarterie vorgeführt. Ein Abschnitt des etwa 1 m langen Führungsdrahtes 1 ist in Fig. 1 sicht¬ bar. Der Führungsdraht 1 dient als Instrumentierschiene zum Führen des Dilatationskatheters.
Der Dilatationskatheter verfügt über einen Ballon 2 und einen Tubus 3, der in Fig. 1 abgeschnitten dargestellt ist und ebenfalls eine Länge in der Größenordnung von 1 m hat.
In Fig. 2 ist ein Schnitt durch den Führungsdraht 1 und den Tubus 3 dargestellt. Der Tubus 3 dient einerseits zur Übertragung von Schub- und Zugkräften zum Hin- und Herschieben sowie zum Drehen des Ballons 2 auf dem Füh- rungsdraht 1. Aus diesem Grunde ist es zweckmäßig, wenn der Tubus 3 durch einen Stabilisierungsdraht 4 in der in den Figuren 1 bis 3 dargestellten Weise verstärkt ist. Neben seiner Aufgabe zur Übertragung von Kräften dient der Tubus 3 zum Einspritzen von Flüssigkeiten in das Balloninnere 5 zum Aufweiten des Ballons 2 und zum Absaugen von Flüssigkeiten, wenn der Ballondurchmesser verringert werden soll.
Wie in Fig. 1 zu erkennen ist, besteht der Ballon aus einer Ballonhülle 6 und einem Schlauchabschnitt 7 , . so daß der Ballon 2 einen Ballondurchgang 8 aufweist, der gegenüber dem Balloninneren 5 abgedichtet ist. Die Ballondurchführung 8 gestattet es, den Ballon 2 auf den Führungsdraht 1 aufzuschieben und dadurch auf dem Füh- rungsdraht 1 zu führen.
In Fig. 3 erkennt man den im wesentlichen ringförmigen Querschnitt des Ballons 2 mit der Ballondurchführung 8, durch die sich der Führungsdraht 1 erstreckt. Um die auf den Tubus 3 ausgeübten Kräfte gut auf den Ballon 2 zu übertragen, reicht der Stabilisierungsdraht 4 bis in die Nähe des distalen Endes 9 des Ballons 2.
Wie man in Fig. 1 deutlich erkennt, ist am distalen Ende 9 des Ballons 2 die Ballonhülle 6 als Schlauchseg¬ ment 10 ausgebildet, das mit dem distalen Ende des Schlauchabschnittes 7 dicht verbunden ist. In ähnlicher Weise läuft die Ballonhülle 6 am proximalen Ende in ein
Schlauchsegment 11 aus, das einerseits mit dem proxi¬ malen Ende des Schlauchabschnittes 7 abdichtend und andererseits mit dem Tubus 3 abdichtend verbunden ist.
Das in Fig. 1 nach rechts weisende patientenseitige Ende 12 des Tubus 3 läuft in eine Verjüngung 13 aus, die am Schlauchabschnitt 7 befestigt ist. Sowohl in der Verjüngung 13 als auch im übrigen Bereich des patien- tenseitigen Endes 12 sind im Tubus 3 radiale Öffnungen 14 vorgesehen, über die die in den Tubus 3 eingespritz¬ te Flüssigkeit vom Tubus 3 in das Balloninnere 5 des Ballons 2 gelangen kann.
In den Figuren 1 und 3 sind weiterhin Goldstreifen 15 und 16 dargestellt, die bei Röntgenaufnahmen zum Mar¬ kieren der Lage des Dilatationskatheters dienen.
In Fig. 3 erkennt man einen Querschnitt durch den Ballon 2 im Bereich des Goldstreifens 15. Der Tubus 3 mit seinem Innenlumen 17 sowie der Schlauchabschnitt 7 mit dem Ballondurchgang 8 sind in dem in Fig. 3 gezeig¬ ten Bereich einstückig ausgebildet, so daß der Gold¬ streifen 15 im wesentlichen eine Ovalform und nicht die Form einer Ziffer 8 hat.
Der Führungsdraht 1 kann ein in der Zeichnung nicht dargestelltes zentrales Lumen für die Druckmessung oder ein Kontrastmittel enthalten. Um den Reibungswiderstand zwischen dem Innern des Ballondurchgangs 8 und der Oberfläche des Führungsdrahtes 1 möglichst gering zu halten, kann die Innenseite des durch den Stabilisie¬ rungsdraht 4 versteiften Schlauchabschnitts 7 und/oder die Oberseite des Führungsdrahtes 1 mit einer Gleit¬ schicht versehen sein.
Zur Dilatation von Herzkranzgefäßen wird durch den Füh¬ rungskatheter zunächst der Führungsdraht 1 in die ent¬ sprechende Herzkranzarterie vorgeführt. Der Führungs¬ draht 1 liegt hierbei frei im Führungskatheter und ist somit gut dreh- und steuerbar. Zur anatomischen Orien¬ tierung sind zusätzlich ausreichende Kontrastmittel gaben möglich. Wenn der Führungsdraht 1 die Einengung in der Herzkranzarterie passiert hat, verbleibt die Spitze des Führungsdrahtes 1 weiterhin jenseits der Stenose im Herzkranzgefäß. Erst jetzt wird der erfin¬ dungsgemäße Dilatationskatheter außerhalb des Körpers auf den Führungsdraht 1 geschoben und an der durch den Führungsdraht 1 gebildeten Schiene durch den Führungs¬ katheter in die Herzkranzarterie und über die Einengung vorgeschoben. Soll der Ballon 2 während der Operation gegen einen Ballon 2 mit größerer Ballonweite ausge¬ wechselt werden, ist es auf einfache Weise möglich, den erfindungsgemäßen Dilatationskatheter zurückzuziehen, wobei der Führungsdraht 1 mit seinem vorderen Ende im Koronargefäß verbleibt und ein sicheres Vorführen des ausgewechselten Ballons erlaubt, ohne daß hohe Rei¬ bungskräfte zu überwinden sind und die Stenose erneut gesucht werden muß. Bei Verdacht auf mangelnde Stabili¬ tät des Dilatationserfolges kann der Führungsdraht 1 sogar für mehrere Stunden liegen bleiben, um zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt eine erneute Dilatation vorzunehmen. Das distale Ende 9 des Dilatationskatheters ist zur besseren Einführbarkeit in Gefäßeinengungen in der oben beschriebenen Weise flacher gestaltet.
Die Erfindung gestattet es, Ballons unterschiedlicher Länge, Weite und Wanddicke zur Aufnahme variabler
Drücke vorzusehen und einfach auszuwechseln. Je nach den medizinischen Erfordernissen sind die Dilatations¬ katheter mit Tuben 3 unterschiedlicher Stärke und Bieg¬ samkeit, die unterschiedliche Vorschübe gewährleisten, ausgerüstet. Für größere Dilatationskatheter ist ein in der Zeichnung nicht dargestelltes zusätzliches Innen¬ lumen vorgesehen, dessen vorderes Ende bis zum distalen Ende 9 des Ballons 2 reicht und mit dem Gefäßinnenraum des operierten Patienten in Verbindung steht. Hierdurch können Druckmessungen und Kontrastmittelinjektionen durchgeführt werden. Die Führungsdrähte 1 eines kom¬ pletten Instrumentariums weisen ebenfalls unterschied¬ liche Stärken und Biegsamkeiten auf. Die Führungsdrähte 1 verfügen über weiche flexible Spitzen, die kürzer oder länger sowie gerade oder gebogen sein können. Wenn im Ballon kein zusätzliches Innenlumen vorgesehen ist, kann in den Führungsdrähten ein bereits oben erwähntes zentrales Lumen für Druckmessungen und Kontrastmittel¬ injektionen vorgesehen sein.
