Abstract
The catheter-guide e.g. for treating advanced stenoses in coronary arteries, consists of a flexible guide (4) which carries a series of micro-balloons (1-3) on its outer surface. The balloons are of different dia. and are positioned one after the other on the guide so that the smallest balloon is nearest the tip. The balloons are all made as part of a single tube which fits over the guide, with the sections of the tube between the balloons acting as feed tubes for the balloons. In addition, the balloons have corrugated surfaces with the corrugations running lengthwise and parallel to their axes for reduced dimensions. USE/ADVANTAGE - Improved performance catheter guide for treating stenoses in coronary arteries.
Description
DESCRIPTION
La présente invention a pour objet un cathéter-guide comprenant un élément flexible et au moins un ballonnet élastiquement déformable pour l'application d'une thérapeutique dite de microdilatation ou de prédilatation dans le cas de sténoses avancées, plus particulièrement au niveau des artères coronaires dont le passage pour le sang est devenu Si étroit qu'il ne permet plus l'utilisation du ballonnet habituel. En effet, la technique de la microdilatation ou de prédilatation située dans le cadre de très petites dimensions (0,6 à 2 millimètres de diamètre pleine expansion) offre un réel avantage par rapport à la technique des ballonnets habituels, dont l'expansion ne démarre qu'à partir de 2 millimètres environ.
Dans une forme d'exécution préférée de l'invention, le cathéterguide est muni de plusieurs ballonnets disposés les uns derrière les autres, chacun d'eux pouvant être dilaté à un diamètre maximal différent. Généralement, le ballonnet de plus petite dilatation est situé à l'extrémité du cathéter-guide, et les ballonnets se suivent de manière que leur diamètre d'expansion maximal aille en progressant.
L'orifice de la sténose ayant été agrandi à l'aide du ou des microballonnets, le premier de ceux-ci étant censé prèdilater, par exemple de 0,6 à 0,9 millimètre; le deuxième de 0,9 à 1,2 millimètre, et le troisième de 1,2 à 2 millimètres, il est dès lors possible d'introduire le deuxième cathéter à ballonnet gonflable sur le cathéter-guide et de le pousser jusqu'à chacune des zones de rétrécissement de manière qu'il soit à même d'effectuer son travail habituel de dilatation.
La présente invention a pour objet un cathéter-guide comprenant un élément flexible et au moins un ballonnet présentant les caractéristiques énumérées à la revendication 1.
Le dessin annexé illustre schématiquement et à titre d'exemple une forme d'exécution du cathéter-guide.
La figure I représente une coupe dans son principe de la partie microballonnets et cathéter-guide de la présente invention.
La figure 2 montre par un seul dessin, et selon un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe, les trois coupes des trois états caractéristiques que prend l'un des microballonnets tout au long de sa fonction et les représentations en profil des trois états.
La figure 3 illustre le cathéter-guide selon l'invention à l'intérieur d un vaisseau sanguin dans différentes positions.
Les microballonnets 1, 2 et 3 représentés à la figure 1 sont montés sur un élément 4, genre de tige flexible nommée cathéterguide, pouvant être pleine comme sur le dessin, voire un tube ou même un ressort à boudin cylindrique ou une combinaison de ces trois éléments, l'objet de la présente invention étant axé sur le fait d'ajouter au cathéter-guide au moins un microballonnet formant un cas particulier ou plusieurs microballonnets en une suite de type chapelet .
A la lecture de la figure 1, on remarquera que l'ensemble des microballonnets 1, 2 et 3 est formé sur la base commune d'un seul et même tube, dont la partie 5 se trouve être le tuyau d'alimentation et les parties 6 et 7 les canaux de connexion. Quant à l'extrémité 8 du tuyau, elle est fixée étanche sur le cathéter-guide 4, de manière à permettre la mise sous pression des microballonnets 1, 2 e¯ 3 par l'espace 9 situé entre l'extérieur du cathéter-guide 4 et l'intérieur du tuyau d'alimentation 5.
Afin d'obtenir des microballonnets les plus performants en technique de microdilatation ou prédilatation, il est nécessaire que ces microballonnets dégonflés ou mis sous pression négative soient d'un encombrement le plus petit possible, de manière à être insérés à travers des sténoses normalement infranchissables par des cathéters à ballonnets standard. A cet effet, et en premier lieu, un microtube non représenté sur le dessin est extrudé, utilisant un thermoplastique approprié. Ce microtube est ensuite moulé par soufflage avec préchauffage et pression interne et prend ainsi la forme crénelée (figure 2 lettre A) usinée à l'intérieur de l'empreinte du moule.
A la figure 2 lettre B est représenté en coupe le microballonnet lorsqu'il est sous pression négative, alors que la lettre C le représente en pleine expansion. Dans ces trois coupes A, B et C, la longueur de la circonférence extérieure de A est égale à la longueur extérieure de B comme aussi égale à la longueur extérieure de C. Les trois états sont aussi représentés en profil par les lettres A', 3' et C'.
DESCRIPTION
The subject of the present invention is a guide catheter comprising a flexible element and at least one elastically deformable balloon for the application of a so-called microdilatation or predilatation therapy in the case of advanced stenoses, more particularly at the level of the coronary arteries, the passage for blood has become so narrow that it no longer allows the use of the usual balloon. Indeed, the microdilation or predilation technique located in the context of very small dimensions (0.6 to 2 millimeters in full expansion diameter) offers a real advantage compared to the usual balloon technique, the expansion of which does not start only from about 2 millimeters.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the catheterguide is provided with several balloons arranged one behind the other, each of which can be expanded to a different maximum diameter. Generally, the smallest dilation balloon is located at the end of the guide catheter, and the balloons follow each other so that their maximum expansion diameter goes as they progress.
The orifice of the stenosis having been enlarged using the microballoon (s), the first of these being supposed to predilate, for example from 0.6 to 0.9 millimeter; the second from 0.9 to 1.2 millimeters, and the third from 1.2 to 2 millimeters, it is therefore possible to introduce the second inflatable balloon catheter on the guide catheter and to push it up to each areas of narrowing so that it is able to perform its usual work of dilation.
The subject of the present invention is a guide catheter comprising a flexible element and at least one balloon having the characteristics listed in claim 1.
The attached drawing illustrates schematically and by way of example an embodiment of the guide catheter.
Figure I shows a section in principle of the microballoon and catheter-guide part of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows by a single drawing, and in a plane perpendicular to the axis, the three sections of the three characteristic states that one of the microballoons takes throughout its function and the profile representations of the three states.
FIG. 3 illustrates the guide catheter according to the invention inside a blood vessel in different positions.
The microballoons 1, 2 and 3 shown in FIG. 1 are mounted on an element 4, a kind of flexible rod called a catheterguide, which can be solid as in the drawing, or even a tube or even a cylindrical coil spring or a combination of these three elements, the object of the present invention being focused on the fact of adding to the guide catheter at least one microballoon forming a particular case or several microballoons in a series of rosary type.
When reading FIG. 1, it will be noted that all of the microballoons 1, 2 and 3 are formed on the common base of a single tube, part 5 of which happens to be the supply pipe and the parts 6 and 7 the connection channels. As for the end 8 of the pipe, it is tightly fixed on the guide catheter 4, so as to allow the pressurization of the microballoons 1, 2 e¯ 3 through the space 9 located between the outside of the guide catheter 4 and the inside of the supply pipe 5.
In order to obtain the most efficient microballoons in microdilation or predilation technique, these deflated or negative pressure microballoons must be as small as possible, so as to be inserted through stenoses normally impassable by standard balloon catheters. To this end, and first of all, a microtube not shown in the drawing is extruded, using an appropriate thermoplastic. This microtube is then blow molded with preheating and internal pressure and thus takes the crenellated shape (Figure 2 letter A) machined inside the mold cavity.
In Figure 2 letter B is shown in section the microballoon when it is under negative pressure, while the letter C represents it in full expansion. In these three sections A, B and C, the length of the external circumference of A is equal to the external length of B as also equal to the external length of C. The three states are also represented in profile by the letters A ', 3 'and C'.
