Definitions
- the invention pertains to medical devices, and more particularly to vaso- occlusive devices with in-situ stiffening elements to assist the devices to retain their deployed shape.
- Vaso-occlusive devices are surgical implants placed within blood vessels or vascular cavities, typically by using a catheter as a conduit, to arrest blood flow, form a thrombus and occlude the site. For instance, a stroke or other such vascular occurrence may be treated by placing a vaso-occlusive device proximal of the site to block the flow of blood to the site and alleviate the leakage.
- An aneurysm may similarly be treated by introducing one or more vaso- occlusive devices through the neck of the aneurysm.
- the placement of the vaso- occlusive device(s) helps cause a mass to form in the aneurismal sac and alleviate the potential for growth of the aneurysm and its subsequent rupture.
- vaso-occlusive devices suitable for creating an embolic obstruction for therapeutic purposes One such device is found in U.S. Patent No. 4,994,069, to Ritchart et al.. That patent describes a vaso- occlusive coil that assumes a linear helical configuration when stretched and a folded convoluted configuration when relaxed.
- the coil has a stretched configuration when placed in a catheter, which is used in placement of the coil at the desired site, and assumes the convoluted configuration when the coil is ejected from the catheter and the coil relaxes.
- Ritchart et al. describes a variety of shapes, including "flower” shapes and double vortices. A random shape is described as well.
- Vaso-occlusive coils having complex, three-dimensional structures in a relaxed configuration are described in U.S. Patent No. 6,322,576B1 to Wallace et al.
- the coils may be deployed in the approximate shape of a sphere, an ovoid, a clover, a box-like structure or other distorted spherical shape.
- the patent also describes methods of winding the anatomically shaped vaso-occlusive device into appropriately shaped forms and annealing them to form various devices.
- One problem associated with existing vaso-occlusive devices is that they may not have a sufficient strength or stiffness to retain their shape after they are delivered into an aneurysm. When the above-mentioned vaso-occlusive devices are placed within an aneurysm, they tend to induce a formation of a thrombi for occlusion of the aneurysm. However, with time and the influence of hemodynamic forces and thrombolytic processes, the delivered vaso-occlusive devices may move or change shape due to their relatively low stiffness or through the process of seeking a minimally energetic morphology.
- the delivered vaso-occlusive devices may move out of the position or shape in which they were originally placed. In some cases, the delivered vaso-occlusive devices may even dislodge out of the sack of an aneurysm.
- the vaso-occlusive device includes a coil, with the active element disposed within a lumen of the coil.
- the active element can have any of a number of shapes, such as, by way of non- limiting examples, an elongate shape, a form of a sphere, a cone, a plate, a mesh, or some other customized shape.
- the active element can be made from an expansive material, such as a hydrogel, that causes the active element to expand when placed in a body.
- the expanded active element imparts a radial stress within the coil to thereby stiffen and stabilize the shape of at least a portion of the coil in-situ.
- the active element can be made from a material that causes the active element to contract when placed in a body.
- the active element may be anchored or secured to the coil at two points along a length of the coil. When the active element contracts, it compresses the coil between the two points of attachment, to thereby stiffen and stabilize the shape of at least a portion of the coil in-situ.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a vaso-occlusive device in accordance with another embodiment, including an active element disposed within a lumen of a coil
- FIG. 2 is a side view of the vaso-occlusive device of FIG. 1 , showing the active element having an expanded configuration

- FIGS. 6-12 show embodiments of vaso-occlusive devices having secondary shapes.
- the vaso-occlusive device 200 of FIG. 1 is provided with an active element 214 configured to provide in-situ stiffening of the coil 200.
- the coil 212 is made from a linear element 216, such as a wire, which preferably has a circular cross-sectional shape. Alternatively, the linear element 216 of the coil 212 may have a rectangular, triangular, other geometric cross-section, or an irregular shaped cross-section.
- the coil 212 includes one or more loops or windings 218 formed by the linear element 216. The loops 218 define a central lumen 220 in which the active element 214 is placed.
- the vaso-occlusive device 200 has an overall diameter or cross- section which is preferably in the range of 0.010 to 0.023 inches. However, the vaso-occlusive device 200 may have other diameters and/or cross-sections, as well.
- the vaso-occlusive device 200 may optionally include one or more end caps 222 secured to a first end 224 and/or a second end 226 of the coil 212. As shown in FIG.
- the active element 214 includes an axially oriented element 230 having a substantially rectilinear or a curvilinear (less than 360°) configuration along a length of the vaso-occlusive device 200. Again, in the case of more complex coil shapes, the active element could mirror the shape of the coil.
- the axially oriented element 30 is located within the lumen 220 of the coil 212 and is secured to the ends 224 and 226 or the end caps 222 of the coil 212. The securing may be accomplished by any of the methods described previously.
- the axially oriented element 230 can be secured to the coil 212 at one of the ends 224 and 226 of the coil 212 or at one or more points along a length of the coil 212 by a suitable adhesive or by wrapping around one or more windings 218 of the coil 212. Furthermore, in another embodiment, the axially oriented element 230 is not secured to the coil 212.
- the axially oriented element 230 is simply disposed within the lumen 220 of the coil 212, or is coupled to the coil 210 by a surface friction, in which case, the surface of the axially oriented element 230 may be textured to improve the coupling force between the axially oriented element 230 and the coil 212.
- the active element 214 is configured to undergo a reaction that changes a structural characteristic of the vaso-occlusive device 200 when placed in a body cavity.
- the active element 214 includes an expansible material, which will expand in size when placed in an aqueous environment within a living mammal.
- the cross-section of the active element 214 is configured such that it can expand to a size which is slightly larger than the internal diameter (or the lumen 220) of the coil 212 (FIG. 2).
- the cross-sectional dimension of the active member 214 is configured such that its swollen cross-sectional dimension is at least equal to 100% - 500%, and more particularly, between 110% - 200%, of the internal diameter of the coil 212.
- the expanded material imparts a radial stress within the coil 212 to thereby stiffen and stabilize the coil 212 in-situ.
- An example of the expansible material that can be used for construction of the active element 214 is a hydrogel, which is capable of absorbing a desired amount of aqueous fluid.
- hydrogels include gels formed from homopolymers, copolymers, and/or network polymers containing: polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylates, polymethacrylates, polyacrylamides, polyethyloxazoline, polysaccharides, mucopolysaccharides, polyaminoacids, carboxy alkyl celluloses, partially oxidized cellulose, hyaluronic acid, dextran, heparin sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, heparin, agar, starch, alginate, fibronectin, gelatin, collagen, fibrin, pectins, albumin, polyesters of .alpha.-hydroxy acids including polyglycolic acid, poly-DL-lactic, poly-L-lactic acid, polylactones, polyanhydrides, polyorthoesters, polydioxanone, polycaprolactones, poly(
- the gel may further comprise a chemical cross-linking agent having two or more reactive groups in order to form chemical bridges between two or more polymeric molecules.
- cross-linking agents include diacrylates, oligoacrylates, dimethacrylates, oligomethacrylates, divinyl ethers, certain cations, and
- the active element 214 can also include a radiopaque material mixed or coated with the hydrogel, or alternatively, include a radiopaque marker secured to the active element 214.
- a radiopaque material mixed or coated with the hydrogel, or alternatively, include a radiopaque marker secured to the active element 214.
- Other expansive materials that respond to changes in moisture, ionic strength, temperature, pH, or materials that selectively absorb blood borne substances (e.g. silicones or other polymers which absorb lipids) may also be used.
- the rate at which the active element 214 expands may be customized, such as by changing a composition of the active element 214, so that placement and repositioning of the coil 212 may be performed within a period after it has been delivered to a site.
- the rate at which the active element 214 expands may also be customized or by varying a spacing between the pitch of the coil 212, thereby controlling the amount of bodily fluid that flows into the lumen 220 of the coil 212.
- the rate may also be controlled by a coating that may be soluble or insoluble which, in either case, limits diffusion of water into the active element.
- the active element 214 can be made from a material that undergoes contraction due to an environmental stimuli, such as moisture, , ionic strength, pH temperature.
- the active element 214 is secured to the coil 212 at two points along a length of the coil 212.
- the active element 214 can be secured to the ends 224 and 226 of the coil 212 using any of the methods described previously.
- the active element 214 can also be secured to the coil 212 along its length by an adhesive or by wrapping around the loops 218 of the coil 212.
- a stimuli such as blood or other bodily fluids
- Contraction of the active element 214 induces a compressive load on the coil 212 (i.e., the active element 214 compresses the coil 212 between the two points of attachment), which in turn stiffens and stabilizes the coil 212 in-situ.
- Contraction of the active element may be achieved, by way of example, by localized injection of a warm fluid or an ionic solution, provided that the material transition is irreversible.
- the active element may be pre-tensioned, wherein prior to use, the device is conditioned with a solvent (e.g., an aqueous ionic solution or polar organic solvent) to cause initial expansion of the element prior to placement inside a body. Once placed in the body, contact with blood causes the solvent to diffuse out of the active element, further causing it to contract.
- a solvent e.g., an aqueous ionic solution or polar organic solvent
- a solvent e.g., an aqueous ionic solution or polar organic solvent
- contact with blood causes the solvent to diffuse out of the active element, further causing it to contract.
- materials that undergoes contraction due to an environmental stimuli includes shape memory alloys and polymers, such as NitinolTM or polyurethanes and poly(norbornene), which contract (or expand) with changes in temperature.
- temperature-sensitive contracting materials include protein fibers that undergo thermally induced phase transitions or denaturation at or near body temperature, and thermoresponsive hydrogels, which include polymer gels swollen by aqueous solutions which change volume in response to thermally induced molecular motions that alter the balance of hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions between the polymer chains and the surrounding aqueous environment.
- thermoresponsive hydrogels include ones containing n-isopropyl, acrylamide, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, or poly(ethylene oxide-co-propylene oxide).
- Examples of materials that contract in response to changes in pH and/or ionic strength include polyelectrolyte hydrogels, which are polymer gels swollen by aqueous solutions which change volume in response to electrostatic interactions between polymer chains and ions in the surrounding aqueous environment.
- Examples of such hydrogels include ones containing acrylic acid, n-isopropyl acrylamide, amino acids, carboxyl methacrylate, chitosan or xanthan.
- Protein fibers that undergo pH induced phase transitions or denaturation at or near body pH may also be suitable for use as a contracting agent, as would polymer gels comprising a biocompatible polymer swollen with a non-aqueous solvent that will diffuse out of the gel upon contact with water (or blood), such as silicones, urethanes, acrylics and polyesters.
- polymer gels comprising a biocompatible polymer swollen with a non-aqueous solvent that will diffuse out of the gel upon contact with water (or blood), such as silicones, urethanes, acrylics and polyesters.
