Definitions
- the described invention relates generally to endovascular devices.
- Blood vessels are dynamic structures that constrict, relax, pulsate, and proliferate. Within the body, blood vessels form a closed delivery system that begins and ends at the heart. There are three major types of blood vessels: (i) arteries; (ii) capillaries and (iii) veins. As the heart contracts, it forces blood into the large arteries leaving the ventricles. Blood then moves into smaller arteries successively, until finally reaching the smallest branches, the arterioles, which feed into the capillary beds of organs and tissues. Blood drains from the capillaries into venules, the smallest veins, and then into larger veins that merge and ultimately empty into the heart.
- capillaries help serve cellular needs. Exchanges between the blood and tissue cells occur primarily through the thin capillary walls.
- the walls of most blood vessels (the exception being the smallest vessels, e.g., venules), have three layers, or tunics, that surround a central blood-containing space called the vessel lumen.
- the innermost tunic (layer) is the tunica intima.
- the tunica intima contains endothelium, the simple squamous epithelium that lines the lumen of all vessels.
- the endothelium is continuous with the endocardial lining of the heart, and its flat cells fit closely together, forming
- a sub-endothelial layer consisting of a basement membrane and loose connective tissue, supports the endothelium.
- the middle tunic (layer), the tunica media, is mostly circularly arranged smooth muscle cells and sheets of elastin.
- the activity of the smooth muscle is regulated by sympathetic vasomotor nerve fibers of the autonomic nervous system. Depending on the body’s needs at any given time, regulation causes either vasoconstriction (lumen diameter decreases) or vasodilation (lumen diameter increases).
- the activities of the tunica media are critical in regulating the circulatory system because small changes in vessel diameter greatly influence blood flow and blood pressure.
- the tunica media is the bulkiest layer in arteries, which bear the chief responsibility for maintaining blood pressure and proper circulation.
- the outer layer of a blood vessel wall is primarily composed of collagen fibers that protect the vessel, reinforce the vessel, and anchor the vessel to surrounding structures.
- the tunica externa contains nerve fibers, lymphatic vessels, and elastic fibers (e.g., in large veins).
- the tunica externa contains a structure known as the vasa vasorum, which literally means“vessels of vessels”.
- the vasa vasorum nourishes external tissues of the blood vessel wall.
- Interior layers of blood vessels receive nutrients directly from blood in the lumen (See, e.g., The Cardiovascular System at a Glance, 4th Edition, Philip I. Aaronson, Jeremy P. T. Ward, Michelle J. Connolly, November 2012, ⁇ 2012, Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, NJ).
- FIGs 8 and 9 show schematic illustrations of the brain’s blood vessels.
- Each cerebral hemisphere is supplied by an internal carotid artery, which arises from a common carotid artery beneath the angle of the jaw, enters the cranium through the carotid foramen, traverses the cavemosus sinus (giving off the ophthalmic artery), penetrates the dura and divides into the anterior and middle cerebral arteries.
- the large surface branches of the anterior cerebral artery supply the cortex and white matter of the inferior frontal lobe, the medial surface of the frontal and parietal lobes and the anterior corpus callosum.
- Smaller penetrating branches supply the deeper cerebrum and diencephalon, including limbic structures, the head of the caudate, and the anterior limb of the internal capsule.
- the large surface branches of the middle cerebral artery supply most of the cortex and white matter of the hemisphere’s convexity, including the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes, and the insula.
- Smaller penetrating branches supply the deep white matter and diencephalic structures such as the posterior limb of the internal capsule, the putamen, the outer globus pallidus, and the body of the caudate.
- the internal carotid artery After the internal carotid artery emerges from the cavernous sinus, it also gives off the anterior choroidal artery, which supplies the anterior hippocampus and, at a caudal level, the posterior limb of the internal capsule.
- Each vertebral artery arises from a subclavian artery, enters the cranium through the foramen magnum, and gives off an anterior spinal artery and a posterior inferior cerebellar artery.
- the vertebral arteries join at the junction of the pons and the medulla to form the basilar artery, which at the level of the pons gives off the anterior inferior cerebellar artery and the internal auditory artery, and, at the midbrain, the superior cerebellar artery.
- the basilar artery then divides into the two posterior cerebral arteries.
- the large surface branches of the posterior cerebral arteries supply the inferior temporal and medial occipital lobes and the posterior corpus callosum; the smaller penetrating branches of these arteries supply diencephalic structures, including the thalamus and the subthalamic nuclei, as well as part of the midbrain (see Principles of Neural Sciences, 2d Ed., Eric R. Kandel and James H. Schwartz, Elsevier Science Publishing Co, Inc, New York, pp. 854-56 (1985)).
- Interconnections between blood vessels protect the brain when part of its vascular supply is compromised.
- Anastomoses are interconnections between blood vessels that protect the brain when part of its vascular supply is compromised.
- the two anterior cerebral arteries are connected by the anterior communicating artery and the posterior cerebral arteries are connected to the internal carotid arteries by the posterior
- the femoral artery is the main artery that provides oxygenated blood to the tissues of the leg. It passes through the deep tissues of the femoral (or thigh) region of the leg parallel to the femur.
- the common femoral artery is the largest artery found in the femoral (thigh) region of the body. It begins as a continuation of the external iliac artery at the inguinal ligament which serves as the dividing line between the pelvis and the leg. From the inguinal ligament, the femoral artery follows the medial side of the head and neck of the femur inferiorly and laterally before splitting into the deep femoral artery and the superficial femoral artery.
- the superficial femoral artery flexes to follow the femur inferiorly and medially. At its distal end, it flexes again and descends posterior to the femur before forming the popliteal artery of the posterior knee and continuing on into the lower leg and foot.
- the deep femoral artery follows the same path as the superficial branch, but follows a deeper path through the tissues of the thigh, closer to the femur. It branches off into the lateral and medial circumflex arteries and the perforating arteries that wrap around the femur and deliver blood to the femur and deep muscles of the thigh. Unlike the superficial femoral artery, none of the branches of the deep femoral artery continue into the lower leg or foot.
- the femoral artery is made of several distinct tissue layers that help it to deliver blood to the tissues of the leg.
- the innermost layer known as the endothelium or tunica intima, is made of thin, simple squamous epithelium that holds the blood inside the hollow lumen of the blood vessel and prevents platelets from sticking to the surface and forming blood clots.
- Surrounding the tunica intima is a thicker middle layer of connective tissues known as the tunica media.
- the tunica media contains many elastic and collagen fibers that give the femoral artery its strength and elasticity to withstand the force of blood pressure inside the vessel. Visceral muscle in the tunica media may contract or relax to help regulate the amount of blood flow.
- the tunica externa is the outermost layer of the femoral artery that contains many collagen fibers to reinforce the artery and anchor it to the surrounding tissues so that it remains stationary.
- the femoral artery is classified as an elastic artery, meaning that it contains many elastic fibers that allow it to stretch in response to blood pressure. Every contraction of the heart causes a sudden increase in the blood pressure in the femoral artery, and the artery wall expands to accommodate the blood. This property allows the femoral artery to be used to detect a person’s pulse through the skin (See, e.g., The Cardiovascular System at a Glance, 4th Edition, Philip I. Aaronson, Jeremy P. T. Ward, Michelle J. Connolly, November 2012, ⁇ 2012, Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, NJ).
- Endovascular diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are generally performed through the femoral artery.
- Some of the reasons for this generalized approach include its location, easy approach for puncture and hemostasis, low rate of complications, technical ease, wide applicability and relative patient comfort (Alvarez-Tostado J.A. et al. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2009; 49(2): 378-385).
- Femoral puncture also allows access to virtually all of the arterial territories and affords favorable ergonomics for the operator in most instances (Alvarez-Tostado J.A. et al. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2009; 49(2): 378-385).
- the brachial artery is a major blood vessel located in the upper arm and is the main supplier of blood to the arm and hand. It continues from the axillary artery at the shoulder and travels down the underside of the arm. Along with the medial cubital vein and bicep tendon, it forms the cubital fossa, a triangular pit on the inside of the elbow. Below the cubital fossa, the brachial artery divides into two arteries running down the forearm: the ulnar and the radial; the two main branches of the brachial artery. Other branches of the brachial artery include the inferior ulnar collateral, profunda brachii, and superior ulnar arteries (See, e.g., The
- Brachial artery access is a critical component of complex endovascular procedures, especially in instances where femoral access is difficult or contraindicated, such as the absence of palpable femoral pulses, severe common femoral occlusive disease, recent femoral intervention or surgery or femoral aneurysms/pseudoaneurysms. It is a straightforward procedure with a high success rate for percutaneous cannulation (Alvarez-Tostado J.A. et al. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2009; 49(2): 378-385).
- the current standard for therapeutic recanalization and reperfusion in vascular disease and acute stroke is to perform endovascular interventions via a transfemoral approach, meaning, starting a catheter in the femoral artery at the groin, proceeding through the aorta and carotid artery to the affected blood vessel. All existing devices are designed to be used from this starting point and surgeons are most familiar and comfortable with this route.
- PCD Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
- PCI Percutaneous coronary intervention
- methods include balloon angioplasty, coronary stenting, atherectomy (devices that ablate plaque), thrombectomy (devices that remove clots from blood vessels) and embolic protection (devices that capture and remove embolic debris).
- Balloon angioplasty involves advancing a balloon-tipped catheter to an area of narrowing, inflating the balloon, and then removing the catheter after deflation.
- Angioplasty can reduce the severity of coronary stenosis, improve coronary flow, and diminish or eliminate objective and subjective manifestations of ischemia (Losordo D.W. et al. Circulation 1992 Dec. 86(6): 1845- 58).
- the mechanism of balloon angioplasty action involves three events: plaque fracture, compression of the plaque, and stretching of the vessel wall. These lead to expansion of the external elastic lumina and axial plaque redistribution along the length of the vessel (Losordo D.W. et al. Circulation 1992 Dec. 86(6): 1845-58).
- Coronary stents are metallic scaffolds that are deployed within a diseased coronary artery segment to maintain wide luminal patency. They were devised as permanent endoluminal prostheses that could seal dissections, create a predictably large initial lumen, and prevent early recoil and late vascular remodeling (Krajcer Z. and Howell M.H. Tex Heart Inst J. 2000; 27(4): 369-385).
- Drug-eluting stents elute medication to reduce restenosis (the recurrence of abnormal narrowing of a blood vessel) within the stents.
- DES s Drug-eluting stents
- Coronary stents are used in about 90% of interventional procedures. Stent-assisted coronary intervention has replaced coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) as the most common revascularization procedure in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and is used in patients with multi-vessel disease and complex coronary anatomy (Kalyanasundaram A. et al. Medscape December 16, 2014; article 164682: emedicine.medscape.com/article/164682- overview#a3).
- CABG coronary artery bypass graft
- CAD coronary artery bypass graft
- the directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) catheter was first used in human peripheral vessels in 1985 and in coronary arteries in 1986.

- a low-pressure positioning balloon presses a windowed steel housing against a lesion; any plaque that protrudes into the window is shaved from the lesion by a spinning cup-shaped cutter and trapped in the device’s nose cone (Hinohara T. et al. Circulation 1990 Mar. 81(3 Suppl):IV79-91).
- Rotational atherectomy uses a high-speed mechanical rotational stainless-steel burr with a diamond chip— embedded surface.
- the burr is attached to a hollow flexible drive shaft that permits it to be advanced over a steerable guide wire with a platinum coil tip.
- the drive shaft is encased within a Teflon® sheath through which a flush solution is pumped to lubricate and cool the drive shaft and burr.
- a compressed air turbine rotates the drive shaft at 140,000-200,000 rpm during advancement across a lesion (Hinohara T. et al. Circulation 1990 Mar. 81(3 Suppl): IV79- 91).
- an intense light beam travels via optical fibers within a catheter and enters the coronary lumen.
- the laser catheter is advanced to the proximal end of the lesion. Blood and contrast medium are removed from the target vessel by flushing with saline before activating the laser (Kalyanasundaram A. et al. Medscape December 16, 2014; article 164682: emedicine.medscape.com/article/164682- overview#a3).
- Intracoronary thrombi may be treated with mechanical thrombectomy devices. These include rheolytic, suction and ultrasonic thrombectomy devices.
- the catheters used for suction thrombectomy act via manual aspiration. These catheters are advanced over a wire to the intracoronary thrombus then passed through the thrombus while suction is applied to a hole in the catheter tip. Large intact thrombus fragments can be removed by means of this technique (Kalyanasundaram A. et al. Medscape December 16, 2014; article 164682; emedicine.medscape.com/article/164682-overview#a3).
- Ultrasonic thrombectomy involves the use of ultrasonic vibration to induce cavitation that can fragment a thrombus into smaller components (Choi S.W. et al. J. Intery Cardiol. 2006 Feb. 19(1): 87-92).
- Embolization the passage of an embolus (blood clot) within the blood stream
- embolus blood clot
- stents across complex atherosclerotic carotid artery lesions (Krajcer Z. and Howell M.H. Tex Heart Inst J. 2000; 27(4): 369-385).
- Several devices have been developed to trap such embolic material and remove it from the circulation.
- the PercuSurge Guardwire is a device that consists of a 0.014- or 0.018-inch angioplasty guidewire constructed of a hollow nitinol hypotube. Incorporated into the distal wire segment is an inflatable balloon capable of occluding vessel flow. The proximal end of the wire incorporates a MicrosealTM that allows inflation and deflation of the distal occlusion balloon. When the Microseal adapter is detached, the occlusion balloon remains inflated, at which time angioplasty and stenting are performed. An aspiration catheter can be advanced over the wire into the vessel, and manual suction is applied to retrieve particulate debris (Krajcer Z. and Howell M.H.
- the Medicorp device consists of a protection balloon and a dilation balloon that can be used over a 0.014-inch coronary guidewire. Occlusion above the lesion and below the lesion creates a dilation zone without a flow, which is aspirated and cleared of atherosclerotic debris (Krajcer Z. and Howell M.H. Tex Heart Inst J. 2000; 27(4): 369-385).
- AAA Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
- Two endoluminal AAA exclusion stent graft systems have received FDA approval: (i) the AncureTM Endograft System (Guidant/EVT; Menlo Park, Calif); and (ii) the AneuRxTM device (Medtronic AVE; Santa Rosa, Calif) (Krajcer Z. and Howell M.H. Tex Heart Inst J. 2000; 27(4): 369-385). Both are over-the-wire systems that require bilateral femoral artery access.
- the AncureTM stent graft is an unsupported, single piece of woven Dacron® fabric.
- the graft is bifurcated and has no intra-graft junctions.
- the main device is delivered through a 24-Fr introducer sheath; a 12-Fr sheath is required to facilitate the deployment of the contralateral iliac limb.
- the graft is attached via a series of hooks that are located at the proximal aortic end and at both iliac ends.
- the hooks are seated transmurally (passing through the vessel wall) in the aorta and the iliac arteries, initially by minimal radial force, and then affixed by low-pressure balloon dilation.
- Radiopaque markers are located on the body of the graft for correct alignment and positioning (Krajcer Z. and Howell M.H. Tex Heart Inst J. 2000; 27(4): 369-385).
- the AneuRxTM device is a modular 2-piece system composed of a main bifurcation segment and a contralateral iliac limb.
- the graft is made of thin-walled woven polyester that is fully supported by a self-expanding nitinol exoskeleton. Attachment is accomplished by radial force at the attachment sites, which causes a frictional seal.
- the main bifurcated body is delivered through a 21-Fr sheath, and the contralateral limb requires a 16-Fr sheath.
- the body of the graft has radiopaque markers that facilitate correct alignment and positioning (Krajcer Z. and Howell M.H. Tex Heart Inst J. 2000; 27(4): 369-385).
- Mechanical thrombectomy excision of a clot from a blood vessel
- remove occluding thrombi blood clots
- Subgroups include (1) suction thrombectomy devices that remove occlusions from the cerebral vessels by aspiration (Proximal Thrombectomy) and (2) clot removal devices that physically seize cerebral thrombi and drag them out of the cerebral vessels (Distal Thrombectomy) (Gralla J. et al. Stroke 2006; 37: 3019-24; Brekenfeld C. et al. Stroke 2008; 39: 1213-9).
- Manual suction thrombectomy is performed by moving forward an aspiration catheter at the proximal surface of the thrombus (Singh P. et al. J Neurosci Rural Pract. 2013 Jul-Sep; 4(3): 298-303). Manual aspiration is then carried out and the aspiration catheter is taken back under continuous negative pressure.
- the Penumbra System (Penumbra, Almeda, CA USA) is a variation of the manual proximal aspiration method which comprises a dedicated reperfusion catheter attached to a pumping system applying constant aspiration.
- a second retriever device is similar to a stent and is utilized to take out the resistant clot (Singh P. et al. J Neurosci Rural Pract.
- the time window for neuroradiological intervention is 8 hours after stroke onset in patients not eligible for intravenous thrombolysis or in patients where intravenous thrombolysis was unsuccessful (Singh P. et al. J Neurosci Rural Pract. 2013 Jul-Sep; 4(3): 298-303).
- the Penumbra SystemTM has been examined in a number of clinical trials.
- the Penumbra Pivotal Stroke Trial was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study that recruited 125 stroke patients (mean NIHSS 18) within 8 hours of symptom onset and was successful in 81.6% of treated vessels (Penumbra Pivotal Stroke Trial Investigators: The Penumbra pivotal stroke trial: Safety and effectiveness of a new generation of mechanical devices for clot removal in intracranial large vessel occlusive disease. Stroke 2009; 40: 2761-8).
- Distal thrombectomy is a technically difficult procedure (Singh P. et al. J Neurosci rural Pract. 2013 Jul-Sep; 4(3): 298-303).
- MERCI Mechanism Embolus Removal in Cerebral Ischemia
- FDA United States Food and Drug Administration
- the occlusion site In the initial stage of the procedure, the occlusion site must be traversed with a microcatheter so as to deploy the device beyond the thrombus.
- the MERCI Retriever® device is pulled back into the thrombus and positioned within the clot.
- the MERCI Retriever® and the trapped clot are withdrawn, initially into the positioning catheter and then out of the patient’s body (Singh P. et al. J Neurosci rural Pract. 2013 Jul-Sep; 4(3): 298 303).
- Proximal balloon occlusion by means of a balloon guide catheter and aspiration during retrieval of the Merci device is done for the majority of cases in order to prevent thromboembolic complications (Nogueira R.G. et al.
- the MERCI Retriever® clinical trial was a 25 -site, uncontrolled, technical efficacy trial (Smith W.S. et al. Stroke 2005; 36: 1432-8).
- the trial incorporated 151 patients with occlusion of the internal carotid artery or vertebral and basilar arteries, who did not qualify for intra-arterial therapy (IAT) within 8 hours of symptom onset (Smith W.S. et al. Stroke 2005; 36: 1432-8).
- Successful recanalization was accomplished in 46%, with excellent clinical outcome in 27.7% of patients (Smith W.S. et al. Stroke 2005; 36: 1432-1438).
- Successful recanalization was linked with distinctly better clinical outcomes.
- Drawbacks of this method include delayed in-stent thrombosis, the use of platelet inhibitors which may cause intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and perforator occlusion from relocation of the thrombus after stent placement (Samaniego E.A. et al Front Neurol. 2011; 2: 1-7; Fitzsimmons B.F. et al. Am J Neuroradiol. 2006; 27: 1132-4; Levy E.I. et al. Neurosurgery 2006; 58: 458-63; Zaidat O.O. et al. Stroke 2008; 39: 2392-5).
- ICH intracerebral hemorrhage
- Retrievable thrombectomy stents are self-expandable, re-sheathable, and re-constrainable stent-like thrombectomy devices which combine the advantages of intracranial stent deployment with immediate reperfusion and subsequent retrieval with definitive clot removal from the occluded artery (Singh P. et al. J Neurosci Rural Pract. 2013 Jul-Sep; 4(3): 298-303). Removal of the device circumvents the drawbacks associated with permanent stent implantation. These include the requirement for double anti-platelet medication, which potentially adds to the risk of hemorrhagic complications and the risk of in-stent thrombosis or stenosis.
- the application of retrievable thrombectomy stents is analogous to that of intracranial stents.
- a guide catheter is positioned in the proximal internal carotid artery.
- a guide wire is advanced coaxially over a microcatheter within the blocked intracranial vessel and navigated past the thrombus.
- the microcatheter is then advanced over the wire through the clot, and the guide wire is substituted for the embolectomy device Singh P. et al. J Neurosci rural Pract. 2013 Jul-Sep; 4(3): 298-303).
- the revascularization device is placed with the middle third of the device residing within the thrombus formation.
- the radial force of the stent retriever is able to create a channel by squeezing the thrombus and is able to partially restore blood flow to the distal territory in the majority of cases, producing a channel for a temporary bypass (Singh P. et al. J Neurosci Rural Pract. 2013 Jul-Sep; 4(3): 298-303).
- the device is usually left in place for an embedding time of up to 10 minutes, permitting entrapment of the thrombus within the stent struts.
- the unfolded stent and the microcatheter are slowly dragged into the guide catheter with flow reversal by continuous aspiration with a 50-ml syringe from the guide catheter Singh P. et al. J Neurosci Rural Pract. 2013 Jul-Sep; 4(3): 298-303).
- the designs of these stents differ in terms of radial strength, design of the proximal and distal stent aperture, stent cell design, material and supplementary intraluminal struts (Mordasini P. et al. Am J Neuroradiol 2011; 32: 294-300; Brekenfeld C. et al. Am J Neuroradiol.
- the most common aortic arch branching pattern in humans consists of three great vessels originating from the arch of the aorta.
- the first branch is the innominate artery (brachiocephalic artery), which branches into the right subclavian artery and the right common carotid artery.
- the second branch in the most common pattern is the left common carotid artery, and the last branch is the left subclavian artery (Layton K.F. Am J Neuroradiol. 2006; 27: 1541-1542)
- HLHS hypoplastic left heart syndrome
- HLHS comprises a wide spectrum of cardiac malformations, including hypoplasia or atresia (abnormal opening or failure of a structure to be tubular) of the aortic and mitral valves and hypoplasia of the left ventricle and ascending aorta.
- the great vessels are normally related in this congenital anomaly.
- HLHS has a reported prevalence of 0.2 per 1000 live births and occurs twice as often in boys as in girls. Left untreated, HLHS is lethal (Kau T. et al. Semin Intervent Radiol. 2007; 24(2): 141 152).
- Coarctation of the aorta accounts for about 5 to 7% of all congenital heart disease. It is defined as a discrete stenosis in the proximal descending thoracic aorta. Only those with the most severe obstruction (e.g., aortic arch atresia or interruption) or associated cardiac defects invariably present in infancy (Jenkins N.R, Ward C. QJM. 1999; 92: 365-371). Most other cases are identified because of a murmur or hypertension found on routine examination.
- Age at presentation is related to the severity rather than the site of obstruction, as a result of cardiac failure or occasionally cerebrovascular accident, aortic dissection, or endocarditis (Jenkins N.R, Ward C. QJM. 1999; 92: 365-371).
- Aortic coarctation may be subclassified into isolated coarctation, coarctation with ventricular septal defect, and coarctation with complex intracardiac anomalies (Backer C.L. et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2000; 69: S308— S318).
- An exceedingly rare congenital anomaly is coarctation of a right aortic arch (Maxey T.S. et al. J Card Surg. 2006; 21 : 261-263).
- Interrupted aortic arch is defined as the loss of luminal continuity between the ascending and descending aorta and is associated with a multitude of lesions ranging from isolated ventricular septal defects to complex ones (Kau T. et al. Semin Intervent Radiol. 2007; 24(2): 141-152).
- An interrupted aortic arch may be subclassified into anatomical types based on the location of the interruption (Maxey T.S. et al. J Card Surg. 2006; 21 : 261-263). Although results have improved, repair of this abnormality is associated with a significant mortality and morbidity (Tchervenkov C.I. et al. Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Pediatr Card Surg Annu. 2005: 92-102).
- a ductus arteriosus Botalli permits blood flow between the aorta (distal to the left subclavian artery) and the pulmonary artery. In a full-term infant, the ductus usually closes within the first 2 days of life. Persistent patency beyond that point is generally permanent, being two to three times as common in girls as in boys. Most of the cases occur as isolated defects. Typical concomitant findings are left ventricle hypertrophy and pulmonary artery dilation.
- Persistent ductus arteriosus may also be associated with coarctation of the aorta, transposition of the great vessels, and ventricular septal defect (Campbell M. Br Heart J. 1968; 30:4-13).
- the thyroid IMA artery is a collateral vessel feeding the thyroid gland (Wolpert S.M. Radiology 1969; 92: 333-334). This vessel occurs in up to 16.9% of the population (Vasovic L. et al. Ital J Anat Embryol. 2004; 109 : 189- 197). It may be a branch of the aortic arch between the brachiocephalic and left subclavian arteries. However, more frequently it is a branch of the brachiocephalic artery. A further variant of origin is from the right common carotid artery. In the remaining cases, it may originate from the internal mammary, subclavian, or inferior thyroid arteries (Kadir S. In: Kadir S, editor. Atlas of Normal and Variant Angiographic Anatomy. Philadelphia: WB Saunders; 1991. Regional anatomy of the thoracic aorta, pp. 19-54).
- the right subclavian artery is the last branch of the aortic arch in approximately 1% of individuals (Richardson J.V. et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1981; 31: 426-432). It courses to the right behind the esophagus in approximately 80% of these cases, between the esophagus and trachea in 15%, and anterior to the trachea or mainstem bronchus in 5% (Kadir S. In: Kadir S, editor. Atlas of Normal and Variant Angiographic Anatomy. Philadelphia: WB Saunders; 1991.
- Right aortic arch is an uncommon anatomical anomaly that occurs in ⁇ 0.1% of the population (Cina C.S. et al. J Vase Surg. 2004; 39: 131-139). It results from the persistence of the right fourth branchial arch (Kadir S. In: Kadir S, editor. Atlas of Normal and Variant
- the mirror-image type (left brachiocephalic trunk, right common carotid and subclavian arteries) is almost always associated with congenital heart disease, especially the cyanotic type (McElhinney D.B. et al. Pediatr Cardiol. 2001; 22:285-291).
- the aortic isthmus in adults has a variable appearance. Its configuration may show a concavity, a straightening or slight convexity, or a discrete focal bulge.
- the latter finding represents a ductus diverticulum, present in about 9% of individuals. Representing the most distal segment of the embryonic right arch, the ductus diverticulum is a fiisiform dilation of the ventromedial portion of the proximal descending thoracic aorta. At times a prominent ductus diverticulum may resemble a traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the aortic isthmus (Goodman PC. et al. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 1982; 5: 1-4). Double Aortic Arch
- the double aortic arch is a rare anomaly caused by persistence (to varying degrees) of the fetal double aortic arch system (Kadir S. In: Kadir S, editor. Atlas of Normal and Variant Angiographic Anatomy. Philadelphia: WB Saunders; 1991. Regional anatomy of the thoracic aorta pp. 19-54).
- the ascending aorta divides into two arches that pass to either side of the esophagus and trachea and reunite to form the descending aorta. Therefore, it is a form of complete vascular ring, resulting in noncardiac morbidity, but rarely associated with intracardiac defects (Alsenaidi K. et al. Pediatrics. 2006; 118: el336— el341).
- the descending aorta is usually on the left side. Most commonly, one arch is dominant, whereas the other may be of small caliber or represented by a fibrous band.
- the cervical aortic arch refers to an unusually high location of the aortic arch in the low or mid-neck region (Kadir S. In: Kadir S, editor. Atlas of Normal and Variant Angiographic Anatomy. Philadelphia: WB Saunders; 1991. Regional anatomy of the thoracic aorta pp. 19-54). This rare type of aortic arch anomaly is presumed to result from persistence of the third aortic arch and regression of the normal fourth arch. Abnormalities of brachiocephalic arterial branching and arch laterality are common in patients with a cervical aortic arch (McElhinney D.B. et al. Pediatr Cardiol. 2001; 22:285-291).
- a common brachiocephalic trunk (also known as the innominate artery), in which both common carotid arteries and the right subclavian artery arise from a single trunk off the arch, is the most frequent normal variant of aortic arch branching (Kadir S. In: Kadir S, editor. Atlas of Normal and Variant Angiographic Anatomy. Philadelphia: WB Saunders; 1991. Regional anatomy of the thoracic aorta, pp. 19-54) ( Figure 4).
- the innominate artery and the left common carotid artery have a common origin. Therefore, only 2 great vessels originate from the aortic arch (Layton K.F. et al. Am J Neuroradiol.
- aortic and vertebral artery variations inhibits the treatment of diseases that require endovascular intervention via a transfemoral approach.
- the acute angle at which the left common carotid artery branches from the aortic arch in the bovine arch configuration makes mechanical endovascular neurointervention difficult, especially when additional tortuosity (i.e., twists) in the aorta and/or the carotid artery are present.
- tortuosity i.e., twists
- catheters exist that can access the origin of the left common carotid artery when arterial variations exist.
- these catheters lack adequate support which results in kickback of the advancing wire into the aortic arch.
- an endovascular device capable of treating diseases that require endovascular intervention in a patient suffering from a blood vessel anomaly.
- the described invention provides a dual lumen endovascular device capable of effectively treating such patients by providing support and thus preventing kickback of an advancing wire, resulting in distal blood vessel access, clot retrieval, embolization of an aneurysm and/or embolization of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM).
- AVM arteriovenous malformation

- the present invention can use a catheter that has a longer length outside the body of the patient than inside, so location of Luer-Lock location is not related to a position relative to the patient. More particularly the external termination device is preferably located on the end of the tube that remains outside the patient’s body.

- acute angle and“acute angulation” are used interchangeably herein to refer to a sharp, obstructive or abnormal angle or bend (e.g., less than 90 degrees) in an organ, artery, vessel, etc.
- the head end When referring to animals that typically have one end with a head and mouth, with the opposite end often having the anus and tail, the head end is referred to as the cranial end, while the tail end is referred to as the caudal end.
- rostral refers to the direction toward the end of the nose, and caudal is used to refer to the tail direction.
- the surface or side of an animal’s body that is normally oriented upwards, away from the pull of gravity, is the dorsal side; the opposite side, typically the one closest to the ground when walking on all legs, swimming or flying, is the ventral side.
- A“sagittal” plane divides the body into left and right portions.
- the “midsagittal” plane is in the midline, i.e. it would pass through midline structures such as the spine, and all other sagittal planes are parallel to it.
- A“coronal” plane divides the body into dorsal and ventral portions.
- A“transverse” plane divides the body into cranial and caudal portions.
- a coronal or frontal plane is a Y-Z plane, perpendicular to the ground, which separates the anterior from the posterior.
- a sagittal plane is an X-Z plane, perpendicular to the ground and to the coronal plane, which separates left from right.
- the midsagittal plane is the specific sagittal plane that is exactly in the middle of the body.
- Structures near the midline are called medial and those near the sides of animals are called lateral. Therefore, medial structures are closer to the midsagittal plane, lateral structures are further from the midsagittal plane. Structures in the midline of the body are median. For example, the tip of a human subject’s nose is in the median line.
- Ipsilateral means on the same side, contralateral means on the other side and bilateral means on both sides. Structures that are close to the center of the body are proximal or central, while ones more distant are distal or peripheral. For example, the hands are at the distal end of the arms, while the shoulders are at the proximal ends.
- “bovine arch variation” is an anatomical deviation from the most common aortic arch branching pattern in humans.
- an anomaly can occur in a blood vessel having tortuosity.
- aneurysm refers to a localized widening (dilatation)of an artery, a vein, or the heart. At the point of an aneurysm, there is typically a bulge, where the wall of the blood vessel or organ is weakened and may rupture.
- Blood flow proceeds from the parent vessel into the aneurysm at the distal or downstream extent of the aneurysm neck (i.e., the transition from the sac to the parent artery), circulates around the periphery along the aneurysm wall from the neck to the top of the fundus (i.e., aneurysm sac) (downstream to upstream), returning in a type of“isotropic shower” along the aneurysm wall toward the neck region, and exits the closest of the aneurysm neck into the parent vessel (See, e.g., Strother C.M. Neuroradiology 1994; 36: 530-536; Moulder P. V. Physiology and biomechanics of aneurysms. In: Kerstein MD, Moulder PV, Webb WR, eds. Aneurysms. Baltimore, Md: Williams & Wilkins; 1983:20).
- AAA “abdominal aortic aneurysm”
- AAA refers to an aortic diameter at least one and one-half times the normal diameter at the level of the renal arteries, which is approximately 2.0 cm.
- Aortic aneurysms constitute the 14th leading cause of death in the United States.
- Risk factors associated with AAA include age, sex, ethnicity, smoking, hypertension and atherosclerosis, among others (See, e.g., Aggarwal S. et al. Exp Clin Cardiol. 2011; 16(1): 11-15; Ouriel K. et al. J Vase Surg. 1992; 15: 12-18; Silverberg E. et al. CA Cancer J Clin. 1990; 40: 9-26).
- AFM arteriovenous malformation
- AVMs are congenital vascular lesions that occur as a result of capillary mal-development between the arterial and venous systems. Approximately 0.14% of the United States population has an intracranial AVM that poses a significant risk and represents a major life threat, particularly to persons under the age of 50 years.
- the vessels constituting the AVM are weak and enlarged and serve as direct shunts for blood flow between the high-pressure arterial system and the low-pressure venous system, corresponding to a large pressure gradient and small vascular resistance.
- the abnormal low-resistance, high-flow shunting of blood within the brain AVM without an intervening capillary bed causes the fragile dilated vessels in the nidus (i.e., tangle of blood vessels) to become structurally abnormal and fatigued, to further enlarge, and to rupture (See, e.g., Wilkins R.H. Neurosurgery 1985; 16:421-430; Graves V.B. et al. Invest Radiol. 1990; 25: 952-960; Hademenos G.J. et al., Neurosurgery 1996; 38: 1005-1015).
- the abnormal micro-vessels of an AVM serve as passive conduits for blood flow from the arterial circulation directly to the venous circulation, by-passing their normal physiological function of brain tissue perfusion.
- the hemodynamic consequences of an AVM occur as a result of two interdependent circulatory mechanisms involved in the shunting of blood between artery and vein (See, e.g., Hademenos G.J. and Massoud T.F. Stroke 1996; 27: 1072 1083).
- Cerebrovascular steal The abnormal shunting of blood flow by brain AVMs rapidly removes or“steals” blood from the normal cerebral circulation and substantially reduces the volume of blood reaching the surrounding normal brain tissue. This phenomenon, known as cerebrovascular steal, depends on the size of the AVM and is the most plausible explanation for the development of progressive neurological deficits. Cerebrovascular steal could translate into additional neurological complications developed as a result of cerebral ischemia or stroke in neuronal territories adjacent to an AVM (See, e.g., Manchola I.F. et al. Neurosurgery 1993; 33: 556-562; Hademenos G.J. and Massoud T.F. Stroke 1997; 28: 2067-2077).
- atherectomy refers to a minimally invasive endovascular surgery technique for removing atherosclerosis from blood vessels within the body by cutting plaque from the walls of a blood vessel.
- Atherosclerosis also known as“hardening of the arteries” refers to a pathological process in which calcified lipid or fatty deposits from flowing blood accumulate along the innermost intimal layer of a vessel wall. Atherosclerotic plaques are found almost exclusively at the outer wall of one or both daughter vessels at major arterial bifurcations, including the carotid. Atherosclerosis and the development of arterial plaques are the products of a host of independent biochemical processes including the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins, formation of fatty streaks, and the proliferation of smooth muscle cells. As the plaques form, the walls become thick, fibrotic, and calcified.
- Atherosclerotic deposits promote the development of blood clots or the process of thrombosis, due in part, to flow obstruction and to high shear stresses exerted on the vessel wall by the blood.
- High wall shear stress mechanically damages the inner wall of the artery, initiating a lesion.
- Low wall shear stress encourages the deposition of particles on the artery wall, promoting the accumulation of plaque.
- Turbulence has also been implicated in atherosclerotic disease because it can increase the kinetic energy deposited in the vessel walls and because it can lead to areas of stasis, or stagnant blood flow, that promote clotting. The presence of
- Atherosclerotic lesions introduces an irregular vessel surface, resulting in turbulent blood flow, thus causing the dislodgment of plaques of varying size into the bloodstream. Subsequently, the dislodged plaque lodges into a vessel of smaller size, preventing further passage of blood flow (See, e.g., Hademenos G J. and Massoud T.F. Stroke 1997; 28: 2067-2077).
- atresia refers to the absence or abnormal narrowing of an opening or passage in the body.
- aortic atresia refers to a rare congenital anomaly in which the aortic orifice is absent or closed.
- Atrial fibrillation refers to an irregular and often fast heart rate which may cause symptoms such as heart palpitations, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
- Atrial fibrillation weakens the cardiac wall and introduces abnormalities in the physiological function of the heartbeat, which ultimately result in reduced systemic pressure, conditions of ischemia and stroke.
- brachiocephalic trunk also known as“innominate artery”, as used herein, refers to a major vessel that supplies the head, neck and right arm. It is the first of three main branches of the aortic arch, which originates from the upward convexity. After arising in the midline, it courses upwards to the right, crossing the trachea, and bifurcates posteriorly to the right sternoclavicular joint into the right subclavian and right common carotid arteries. It typically measures 4-5 cm in length with a diameter of approximately 12 mm.
- brain aneurysm refers to a cerebrovascular disease that manifests as a pouching or ballooning of the vessel wall (i.e., vascular dilation).
- the vascular dilatation develops at a diseased site along the arterial wall into a distended sac of stressed and thinned arterial tissue.
- the fully developed cerebral aneurysm typically ranges in size from a few millimeters to 15 mm but can attain sizes greater than 2.5 cm. If left untreated, the aneurysm may continue to expand until it ruptures, causing hemorrhage, severe neurological complications and deficits, and possibly death (Hademenos G.J. and Massoud T.F. Stroke 1997; 28: 2067-2077; Hademenos G.J. Phys Today 1995; 48: 24-30).
- Surgical clipping is an intracranial procedure in which a small metallic clip is placed along the neck of the aneurysm. The clip prevents blood from entering into the aneurysm sac so that it no longer poses a risk for bleeding. The clip remains in place, causing the aneurysm to shrink and permanently scar.
- Endovascular coiling is a minimally invasive technique in which a catheter is inserted into the femoral artery and navigated through the blood vessels to the vessels of the brain and into the aneurysm.
- Coils are then packed into the aneurysm to the point where it arises from the blood vessel, thus preventing blood flow from entering the aneurysm. Additional devices, such as a stent or balloon, for example, may be needed to keep the coils in place.
- the term“branch”, as used herein, refers to something that extends from or enters into a main body or source; a division or offshoot from a main stem (e.g., blood vessels); one of the primary divisions of a blood vessel.

- embolus refers to a gaseous particulate matter that acts as a traveling“clot”.
- a common example of an embolus is an aggregate dislodged from an atherosclerotic lesion. The dislodged platelet aggregate is transported by the bloodstream through the cerebrovasculature until it reaches a vessel too small for further propagation. The clot remains there, clogging the vessel and preventing blood flow from entering the distal vasculature. Emboli can originate from distant sources such as the heart, lungs, and peripheral circulation, which could eventually travel within the cerebral blood vessels, obstructing flow and causing stroke.
- emboli include atrial fibrillation and valvular disease.
- the severity of stroke depends on the size of the embolus and the location of the obstruction. The bigger the embolus and the larger the vessel obstruction, the larger the territory of brain at risk (Hademenos G.J. and Massoud T.F. Stroke 1997; 28: 2067-2077).
- endoluminal refers to the state of being within a tubular organ or structure (e.g., blood vessel, duct, gastrointestinal tract, etc.) or within a lumen.
- lumen refers to the inner open space or cavity of a tubular structure.
- the term“French” (abbreviated“Fr” or“F” or“Ga” or“CH” or“Ch”), as used herein, is a system used to measure the diameter of a catheter.
- the French unit of measure is equivalent to three times the diameter in millimeters (mm). For example, 9 Fr is equivalent to a diameter of 3 mm.
- hemomorrhage refers to the escape of blood from ruptured blood vessel.
- Blood vessels are typically structurally adept to withstand the dynamic quantities required to maintain circulatory function. For reasons that are not entirely understood, the vessel wall can become fatigued and abnormally weak and possibly rupture. With vessel rupture, hemorrhage occurs with blood seeping into the surrounding brain tissue. As the blood accumulates within the brain, the displaced volume causes the blood, now thrombosed, to ultimately compress the surrounding vessels. The compression of vessels translates into a reduced vessel diameter and a corresponding reduction in flow to surrounding tissue, thereby enlarging the insult (See, e.g., Hademenos GJ. and Massoud T.F. Stroke 1997; 28: 2067-2077).
- hemorrhage may occur at the brain surface (extraparenchymal), for example, from the rupture of congenital aneurysms at the circle of Willis, causing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Hemorrhage also may be intraparenchymal, for example, from rupture of vessels damaged by long-standing hypertension, and may cause a blood clot (intracerebral hematoma) within the cerebral hemispheres, in the brain stem, or in the cerebellum. Hemorrhage may be accompanied by ischemia or infarction.
- AMMs arteriovenous malformations

- Inflatable balloon elements must be operated, using a channel which houses wires, tubes and other communicating means for inflating and deflating a balloon or more than one several balloon, including covering the use and deployment of two or more separate additional lumens adapted to fill and empty into two or more balloons positioned along a length of the medical device; the selective inflation of select balloons is effective to position the medical device in a desired position within the cross- sectional diameter of the vessel.
- the term“kickback”, as used herein refers to the phenomenon of catheter prolapse (slipping forward or down) due to a counterforce against the catheter by the prolapsed coil tail.
- the counterforce may be due to a lack of available space to insert the last coil. This lack of space may be the result of, for example, a blood vessel variation such as a bovine arch variation, a vertebral artery variation, a thrombus, an embolus, an arteriovenous malformation and the like.
- a“second device” or second medical device refers to an anchoring device or any of the following devices; diagnostic catheter, a therapeutic catheter, a therapeutic balloon, a retrievable balloon, a therapeutic stent, a retrievable stent, a flow-diverting stent, a coil, a wire, an endoluminal mesh, an embolic agent, another medical device or a combination thereof.

- tape refers to the reduction of thickness toward end; the gradual diminution of width or thickness in an elongated object; i.e., to become more slender toward one end.
- thrombectomy refers to the surgical excision of a thrombus.
- thrombus refers to an internal physiological mechanism responsible for the clotting of blood.
- a thrombus is a blood clot, an aggregation of platelets and fibrin formed in response either to an atherosclerotic lesion or to vessel injury.
- the blood coagulation system is activated, which initiates a cascade of processes, transforming prothrombin, ultimately resulting in a fibrin clot.
- vessel injury can occur as a result of forces (e.g., shear stresses) coupled with excess energy created by the turbulent flow exerted against the inner (intimal) lining of the vessel wall, particularly an atherosclerotic vessel wall (See, e.g., Fry D.L. Circ Res. 1968; 22: 165-197; Stein P.D. and Sabbah H.N. Circ Res. 1974; 35: 608-614; Mustard J.F. et al. Am J Med. 1962; 33: 621- 647; Goldsmith H.L. et al. Thromb Haemost 1986; 55: 415-435).

- the term“tortuosity” and other grammatical forms of the term“tortuous” herein is used as it is commonly understood to refer to a property of a tube, passage or blood vessel (e.g., an artery or a vein) being twisted, crooked or having many turns.
- vasospasm refers to the sudden constriction of a blood vessel, reducing its diameter and flow rate.
- the arteries in the subarachnoid space can become spastic with a muscular contraction, known as cerebral vasospasm.
- the contraction from vasospasm can produce a focal constriction of sufficient severity to cause total occlusion.
- the length of time that the vessel is contracted during vasospasm varies from hours to days. However, regardless of the duration of vessel constriction, reduction of blood flow induces cerebral ischemia, thought to be reversible within the first 6 hours and irreversible thereafter.
- vasospasm is maximal between 5 and 10 days after subarachnoid hemorrhage and can occur up to 2 weeks after subarachnoid hemorrhage (See, e.g., Wilkins R.H. Contemp Neurosurg. 1988;10:1-66; Hademenos G.J. and Massoud T.F. Stroke 1997; 28: 2067-2077).
