Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to techniques and devices for cardiovascular valve repair, particularly annuloplasty techniques and devices in which tensioning elements are positioned to treat regurgitation of the mitral valve in which mitral valve cerclage wire is captured and passed through the "safe zone" within the heart without damaging critical cardiac structures.
- the heart is at the center of human circulatory system that pumps blood through our body unidirectionally. In order for the heart to effectively keep this unidirectional flow of blood, it must have properly functioning valves that prevent back flow through its system, or regurgitation.
- the heart is divided into four chambers, right and left atria, and right and left ventricles.
- the mitral valve (MV) separates the left atrium from the left ventricle while the tricuspid valve (TV) separates the right atrium (RA) from the right ventricle (RV).
- valves should open and close completely with every heartbeat or contraction. Incomplete opening and closing of the valves cause improper flow of blood. Valvular diseases are divided into two categories, regurgitation and stenosis. Regurgitation is a failure of valve to close completely and stenosis is a failure of valve to open completely.
- Mitral regurgitation is a common cardiac valve disorder where leakage of blood flow occurs due to an incomplete closure of the MV. Over time, MR burdens the heart and worsens its ability to pump blood properly eventually leading to a heart failure.
- MVA annuloplasty
- a catheter is placed at the coronary sinus after accessing the RV through the jugular vein, and then a cerclage wire is passed through the proximal septal vein and then through the right ventricular outflow tract ("RVOT"). Then the cerclage wire is pulled into the RV thus placing the cerclage wire circumferentially around the mitral annulus. Once the cerclage wire is positioned, tension is applied tightening the MV and bringing together the two leaflets of the MV.
- RVOT right ventricular outflow tract
- tensioning material is introduced around the MV annulus using a secondary catheter, such as a steerable guide wire or canalization catheter.
- a secondary catheter such as a steerable guide wire or canalization catheter.

- a special space between RV and RA can be defined as the "safe zone.”
- the safe zone is defined as an imaginary space in which the cerclage wire can safely deliver therapeutic tension without damaging the TV or the moderator band. It should be an enclosed circular space bordered by (1 ) the TV leaflet and its subvalvular structures such as the chordae of TV and the papillary muscle, and (2) the moderator band.

Additionally, an embodiment where the safe-zone catheter and the RVOT wire capturing catheter functioning as unibody will be discussed in detail as well.
- MV cerclage annuloplasty procedure a wire is inserted into a tube that has passed through the SVC and the CS. Then a catheter is inserted over the wire through the SVC and the CS. At that point, a contrast media is injected into the catheter to visualize and confirm the location of catheter within the CS. Then the wire is removed and the RVOT wire is introduced through the catheter. Subsequently, the RVOT wire passes through the basal interventricular septum exiting through the RVOT into the RV, and thus, the RVOT wire is named as the RVOT cerclage wire.
- the RVOT cerclage wire is defined as a cerclage wire that passes through the ideal trajectory of the coronary sinus, the interventricular septum and the RVOT into the RV thus encircling the MV.
- Figure 10 is a schematic drawing of the heart showing fthe RVOT cerclage wire 104 as it traverses through the SVC 101 , the CS and the RVOT 105 into the RV.
- a RVOT cerclage wire 104 traverses through the SVC 101 , the CS and the RV then back through the SVC 101 thus forming a circle around the MV.
- the current invention comprises devices and methods to direct the RVOT cerclage wire 104 first into the IVC 102.
- the safe-zone catheter is inserted through the IVC into the RV passing through the safe zone. Then a guide wire is passed through the safe-zone catheter, thus ideally positioning at the PA. Then, the safe-zone catheter is removed and the RVOT cerclage wire capturing catheter is inserted over the guide wire into the RV positioning at the PA. Then RVOT cerclage wire is captured by the capturing catheter and the catheter is directed to the IVC steering the captured RVOT cerclage wire into the IVC. Then a snare is introduced through the SVC which can grab the RVOT cerclage wire from the IVC into the SVC, thus completing the circle around the MV.
- the current invention includes devices and methods for traversing through the safe zone of the RV in a MV cerclage annuloplasty procedure comprising a safe- zone catheter, a guide wire that passes through the IVC into the RV, a RVOT cerclage wire capturing catheter, and methods for using the said devices for directing the ROVT wire into the IVC.
- the capturing catheter refers to the catheter used to capture the RVOT cerclage wire and since the capturing catheter directs the RVOT cerclage wire into the IVC, the catheter may be called RVOT cerclage wire steering device.
- a guide wire prior to capturing the RVOT cerclage wire, a guide wire enters into the RV and ends at the PA via the safe-zone catheter which traverses through the femoral vein, the IVC, the RV and the PA.
- the guide wire is named since the purpose of the guide wire is to guide the capturing catheter into the RV.
- the guide wire 103 must traverse through the safe zone of the RV.
- Figure 1 shows an anatomical structures and the safe trajectory for the MV cerclage annuloplasty wire exiting the RVOT into the RV and the unsafe trajectory where the potentially vulnerable cardiac structures that can be entrapped and damaged.
- Figure 2 and Figure 3 show an anatomical view of a wire passing through the safe zone 120 and a wire passing through the unsafe zone.
- FIGs 1 -3 show the critical cardiac structures in the RV such as the TV leaflets, the chordae of TV 150, papillary muscles 160 and the moderator band 170.
- These valvular structures and the moderator band are critical to the proper functioning of the RV, therefore, such structures should not be damaged by cerclage wire or catheters.
- the safe-zone catheter should traverse through the safe zone wherein the safe zone is an enclosed circular space bordered by (1 ) the subvalvular structures such as the TV leaflet, chordae of TV, and the papillary muscle 160, and (2) the moderator band 170.
- the remaining space between the RV and the RA other than the safe zone is defined here as the unsafe zone.
- the unsafe zone is the space in the RV where the subvalvular structures such as the TV leaflet, chordae of TV and the papillary muscle, and the moderator band can be damaged by the cerclage wire.
- Figure 2 clearly shows the difference of the safe zone 220 and the unsafe zone. As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, if the catheter passes through the unsafe zone and tension is applied in this pathway, critical heart tissues can be seriously and irreversibly damaged. Therefore, a cerclage wire or a catheter must pass through the safe zone 220 and whether a cerclage wire or a catheter passed through the safe zone must be confirmed.
- safe-zone catheter refers to a catheter that passes through the safe zone and can be confirmed that it indeed has traversed through the safe zone.
- the safe-zone catheter comprises a balloon- shaped blocking member or pigtail-shaped blocking member. Additionally, the safe- zone catheter is inserted through the IVC instead of the SVC then is directed through the RV and into PA.
- Figures 7, 8 and 11 disclose methods for verifying whether or not the catheter or the cerclage wire passed through the safe zone, and methods for preventing the passage of the catheter or the cerclage wire through the unsafe zone.
- Figure 7 shows one embodiment of the safe-zone catheter of the current invention with a balloon-shaped blocking member
- Figure 8 shows another embodiment of the safe-zone catheter with a pigtail-shaped blocking member 810 and a mesh 830 located proximal to the pigtail-shaped blocking member
- Figure 11 shows the safe-zone catheter with the pigtail-shaped blocking member 113 and a guide wire 111 passing through the lumen of the safe-zone catheter.
- a balloon-shaped blocking member is on the distal end of the safe-zone catheter preventing the passage of the safe-zone catheter through the unsafe zone.
- the blocking member of the safe-zone catheter provides a method of freely passing through the safe zone of the TV and the RV while preventing the passage through the unsafe zone. Namely, the blocking member prevents the safe-zone catheter from passing through the unsafe zone and assists the blocking member to traverse only through the safe zone.
- the safe-zone catheter with the balloon-shaped blocking member first enters through the IVC, then air is injected into the balloon using the outside control thus assisting the safe-zone catheter to traverse only through the safe zone.
- the safe-zone catheter can be repeatedly withdrawn and re-entered until the catheter enters through the safe zone freely.
- the reason why the safe-zone catheter is semi-rigid and the PA is approached from the IVC is to prevent the catheter from entering into a portion of the unsafe zone between the moderator band and the RV wall.
- Figure 8 shows the pigtail-shaped blocking member positioned at the distal end of the safe-zone catheter.
- Upper left picture 800 in Figure 8 shows the pigtail- shaped blocking member positioned at the distal end of the safe-zone catheter
- central picture in Figure 8 shows the pigtail-shaped blocking member 810 positioned at the distal end 820 of the safe-zone catheter and a mesh situated proximal to the pigtail- shaped blocking member.
- the central picture in Figure 8 shows the combined safe-zone catheter 820 and the cerclage wired capturing catheter 830.
- the catheter since the catheter has a pigtail-shaped distal end 810, the catheter is able to pass through the safe zone of the RV to the PA.
- the enlarged size of the pigtail-shaped end acts as the blocking agent thereby assisting the safe passage of the safe-zone catheter. If pig-tail shaped safe-zone catheter enters into the unsafe zone, it can no longer advance through the heart. When the safe-zone catheter does not advance, it can be withdrawn and re-advanced repeatedly until it advances further through the safe zone into the PA.
- Figure 11 shows a drawing of the MV cerclage annuloplasty RWC device comprising a safe-zone catheter having a pigtail-shaped blocking member 113 on the distal end of the catheter 112, and a guide wire 111 passing through the lumen of the safe-zone catheter.
- the distal end 113 of the safe-zone catheter is shaped in a pigtail-shape so that the safe-zone catheter can pass through the safe zone, and the safe-zone catheter comprises a lumen that allows the passage of a guide wire 111.
- the reason why the safe-zone catheter is semi-rigid and the PA is approached from the IVC is to prevent the catheter from entering into a portion of the unsafe zone between the moderator band and the RV wall.
- safe-zone catheter passes through the safe zone and is positioned in the PA , a guide wire is inserted through the safe-zone catheter.
- the guide wire should be passed into the PA and positioned at the entry of the PA.
- the safe- zone catheter is removed keeping the guide wire positioned at the PA.
- the capture catheter is threaded over the guide wire through the safe zone into the PA to capture the RVOT cerclage wire.
- FIG 4 is a schematic drawing of the capture catheter of the MV cerclage annuloplasty comprising the wire 400, the wire catheter 410, the mesh 420 and the mesh catheter 430.
- the RVOT cerclage wire which passed through the SVC or the IVC then through the interventricular septum exiting through RVOT into the RV is captured by the capture catheter 520 and directed from the PA into the IVC.
- the capture catheter 520 is named to indicate that it functions to capture the RVOT cerclage wire 540, and thus can also be called RVOT wire capture catheter.
- Figure 4 also shows the mesh of the capture catheter device.
- the mesh 510 remains collapsed until the capture catheter reaches the RV and is expanded once it is the RV near the PA to facilitate easy passage of the RVOT cerclage wire 540 through the mesh 420. Once the RVOT cerclage wire passes through the mesh, the mesh is collapsed capturing the RVOT cerclage. In other words, the mesh is collapsed or expanded from a control located outside the patient's body and when it is expanded, the mesh is configured so that the RVOT cerclage wire easily passes through the mesh, and when it is collapsed, it can firmly grab the RVOT cerclage wire.
- the mesh is passed through the IVC into the RV near the PA. Since the capture catheter passes over the guide wire which has already traversed through the safe zone, the capture catheter and the mesh placed on the distal portion of the capture catheter can only pass through the safe zone of the RV. Radiographic imaging can be utilized to confirm the position of the mesh and the RVOT cerclage wire.
- the mesh composes of radio-opaque marker so that it is adapted for visualizing to confirm its location radiographically. Then the mesh is expanded to allow easy passage of the RVOT cerclage wire. Once the RVOT cerclage wire passes through the mesh, the mesh is collapsed using the control located outside the patient's body capturing the RVOT cerclage wire.
- Figures 5 and 6 show how the capture catheter captures the RVOT cerclage wire.
- Figure 5(a) shows the capture catheter 520 positioned inside the RV
- Figure 5(b) shows the capture catheter with the expanded mesh
- Figure 5(c) and Figure 6(d) show the RVOT cerclage wire 630 passing through the expanded mesh 610
- Figure 6(e) shows collapsed mesh with captured RVOT cerclage wire
- Figure 6(f) shows the capture catheter being directed into the IVC thus steering with it the captured RVOT cerclage wire.
- the capture member of the capture catheter can be formed of a magnetic material to capture the RVOT cerclage wire magnetically.
- the RVOT cerclage wire or the distal end of the RVOT cerclage wire must be also formed of a magnetic material.
- Figure 9(a) shows a wall stent 900 currently used as a self expanding stent in an angioplasty procedure requiring modifications to be used as the mesh in the RWC catheter device.
- Figure 9(b) is a schematic drawing of the self expanding mesh with closed upper part 910 and a sheath or a catheter covering the mesh. The mesh sheath or the catheter can be used to control the expansion size of the mesh.
- Figure 12 shows a drawing of another embodiment of the MV cerclage annuloplasty RWC device comprising a capturing catheter 121 with a mesh 124
- the capture catheter Since the capture catheter is inserted over the guide wire into the RV, the capture catheter has a lumen to allow the passage of the guide wire.
- the proximal or the distal portion of the mesh can be formed of radio-opaque marker 123 so that it can be visualized radiographically from the outside to confirm the location of the mesh and the capture catheter.
- Figure 13 shows a drawing of another embodiment of MV cerclage annuloplasty RWC device comprising a safe-zone catheter 131 having a balloon- shaped blocking member 136 on the distal end of the catheter, and a mesh 135
- Figure 8 and Figure 13 both contain the safe-zone catheter's blocking member 136, 810 as well as the capture catheter's capturing member in one body.
- RVOT cerclage wire is captured by the capturing catheter and the catheter is directed to the IVC steering the captured RVOT cerclage wire into the IVC. Then a snare is introduced through the SVC to grab the RVOT cerclage wire from the IVC into the SVC, thus completing the circle around the MV annulus.
- the method for steering the RVOT cerclage wire into the IVC comprises of positioning the RVOT cerclage wire in the RV through either the SVC, the CS and the inter ventricular septum, and positioning the safe-zone catheter at the PA through the IVC and the safe zone of the RV. Then a guide wire can be inserted through the safe-zone catheter which traverses through the safe zone. Once the guide wire is positioned at the PA, the safe-zone catheter is removed and the capture catheter is advanced over the guide wire through the safe zone to the PA. Once the capture catheter is positioned in the PA, the RVOT wire can be captured and steered out towards the IVC by directing the capture catheter out toward the IVC.
- the method for steering the RVOT cerclage wire into the IVC comprises of first, positioning the RVOT cerclage wire at the RV after it passes through the SVC, the CS and the inter ventricular septum. Meanwhile the combined MV cerclage annuloplasty catheter is positioned at the PA after traversing through the IVC and the safe zone of the RV. Then, using the capture member of the combined MV cerclage annuloplasty catheter, the RVOT cerclage wire is captured and steered out towards the IVC by directing the combined MV cerclage annuloplasty catheter with the capture member out toward the IVC.
- Figure 14 shows a drawing of another embodiment of MV cerclage annuloplasty RWC device comprising a capturing catheter with a D-shaped mesh 143,147 and Figure 15 shows a drawing of the capturing catheter with the D-shaped mesh 155 in a heart.
- Figure 14(a) and Figure 15(a) both show the D-shaped mesh 143, 153 in its collapsed state
- Figure 14(b) and the Figure 15(b) both show the D-shaped mesh 147,156 in its expanded state.
- Figure 15(a) shows the mesh 153 before it has completely entered the RV.
- the capturing catheter of the MV cerclage annuloplasty RWC device comprises of the outer catheter 144,146,155,158, the central lumen catheter 142,156,154 and the D-shaped mesh 143,147,153,156.
- the distal portion of the D-shaped mesh is gathered and fixed to the central lumen catheter 142,156,154 and the proximal portion of the D-shaped mesh 143,147,153,156 is gathered and fixed to the outer catheter 144,146,155,158.
- the central lumen catheter 142,156,154 has an open internal lumen which holds a guide wire so that the capture catheter can be inserted over the guide wire to the RV.
- the central lumen catheter is placed inside lumen of the outer catheter so that it can move back and forth within the lumen of the outer catheter.
- the capture catheter is inserted over the guide wire passing through the safe zone into the RV.
- the outer catheter When the outer catheter is pushing inwardly from the outside of the body, then the outer catheter will move inwardly and distally over the central lumen catheter thus expanding the mesh.
- the mesh when the mesh is expanded, it forms the shape of the capital letter "D" conforming to the shape of the RV so that the RVOT cerclage wire which has entered the RV through the interventricular septum can more easily pass through the expanded mesh.
- the mesh when the mesh is the shape of a capital letter "D,” thus it is able to expand the most due to the anatomical shape of the RV such that the RVOT cerclage wire will naturally fall through the expanded mesh enabling precision in the ability to steer the RVOT wire into the IVC.
- the capturing catheter comprises at least one connector(s) 145 which attaches but does not fix the mesh to the central lumen catheter 142 allowing the connector(s) 145 to move freely back and forth along the central lumen catheter 142, 147 so that the the mesh 143, 147 can expand and collapse forming a D-shape when the mesh is expanded 147. Since the connector(s) 145 is always attached to one side of the central lumen catheter 142, when the mesh expands, it can fully expand towards the opposite, unattached side of the RV in the shape of letter "D.”
- the safe- zone catheter and the capture catheter can be inserted.
- the combined MV cerclage annuloplasty catheter with the safe-zone catheter and the capture catheter comprises of blocking member positioned proximal to the distal end of the catheter and the capture member positioned on proximal to the blocking member.
- a separate safe-zone catheter and a separate capture catheter can be positioned inside one single outer catheter.
