Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to medical methods and devices, and more particularly to thrombolectomy catheters, and methods for using such thrombolectomy catheters, for removing blood clots or other matter from the lumens of blood vessels or other anatomical conduits.
- thromboembolic disorders such as stroke, pulmonary embolism, peripheral thrombosis, atherosclerosis, and the like, are known to occur in human beings and other mammals.
- thromboembolic disorders are typically characterized by the presence of a thromboembolus (i.e., a viscoelastic blood clot comprised of platelets, fibrinogen and other clotting proteins) which has become lodged at a specific location in a blood vessel.
- a thromboembolus i.e., a viscoelastic blood clot comprised of platelets, fibrinogen and other clotting proteins
- the obstruction created by the thromboembolus may give rise to a condition of blood stasis, with the development of a condition known as thrombophlebitis within the vein.
- peripheral venous embolisms may migrate to other areas of the body where even more serious untoward effects can result.
- emboli that originate in the peripheral venous system, and which subsequently migrate through the venous vasculature and become lodged with the lung.
- tissue ischemia (lack of available oxygen and nutrients required by the tissue) may develop.
- the ischemic tissue may become infarcted (i.e., necrotic).
- tissue infarction can result in death and amputation of a limb, myocardial infarction, or stroke.
- strokes caused by thromboemboli which become lodged in the small blood vessels of the brain continue to be a leading cause of death and disability, throughout the world.
- thromboembolic disorders are typically treated by one or more of the following treatment modalities: a) pharmacologic treatment wherein thrombolytic agents (e.g., streptokinase, urokinase, tissue plasminogen activator (TPA)) and/or anticoagulant drugs (e.g., heparin, warfarin) are administered in an effort to dissolve and prevent further growth of the clot;
- thrombolytic agents e.g., streptokinase, urokinase, tissue plasminogen activator (TPA)
- anticoagulant drugs e.g., heparin, warfarin
- open surgical procedures e.g., surgical embolectomy or clot removal
- an incision is made in the blood vessel in which the clot is lodged and the clot is removed through such incision-sometimes with the aid of a balloon-tipped catheter (e.g., a
- a clot removing/disrupting catheter e.g., a suction-type catheter having a suction tip, clot-capturing type catheter having a clot capturing receptacle (e.g., a basket, coil, hook, etc.), or clot- disrupting catheter having a clot disrupting apparatus (e.g., an ultrasound probe or laser)
- a clot removing/disrupting catheter e.g., a suction-type catheter having a suction tip, clot-capturing type catheter having a clot capturing receptacle (e.g., a basket, coil, hook, etc.), or clot- disrupting catheter having a clot disrupting apparatus (e.g., an ultrasound probe or laser)
- the suction tip, clot capturing receptacle or clot disrupting apparatus is used to aspirate, capture & remove, disrupt or ablate the offending clot.
- pharmacologic treatment has the advantage of being non-invasive and is often effective in lysing or dissolving the clot.
- the thrombolytic and/or anticoagulant drugs used in these pharmacologic treatments can cause untoward side effects such as bleeding or hemorrhage.
- time is of the essence, such as cases where an arterial thromboembolism is causing severe tissue ischemia (e.g., an evolving stroke or an evolving myocardial infarction) the time which may be required for the thrombolytic drugs to fully lyse or dissolve the blood clot and restore arterial blood flow may be too long to avoid or . minimize the impending infarction.
- Open surgical thrombus-removing procedures can, in many cases, be used to rapidly remove clots from the lumens of blood vessels, but such open surgical procedures are notoriously invasive, often require general anesthesia, and the use of such open surgical procedures is generally limited to blood vessels which are located in surgically accessible areas of the body. For example, many patients suffer strokes due to the lodging of blood clots in small arteries located in surgically inaccessible areas of their brains and, thus, are not candidates for open surgical treatment.
- Transluminal, catheter-based interventional procedures are minimally invasive, can often be performed without general anesthesia, and can in some cases be used to rapidly remove a clot from the lumen of a blood vessel.
- catheter-based interventional procedures are highly operator-skill-dependent, and can be difficult or impossible to perform in small or tortuous blood vessels.
- patients who suffer strokes due to the presence of clots in the small, tortuous arteries of their brains may not presently be candidates for catheter-based, transluminal removal of the clot, due to the small size and tortuosity of the arteries in which their clots are located.
- the trasluminally deployable clot capturing type of catheters could be useable in ischemic strokes, because they are typically capable of removing an offending blood clot without the need for suction or application of energy (e.g., laser, ultrasound) which could be injurious to the delicate, small blood vessels of the brain.
- energy e.g., laser, ultrasound
- none of the prior art trasluminally deployable clot capturing type of catheters are believed to be of optimal design for use in the small blood vessels of the brain because they are a) not equipped with appropriate guidewire passage lumens to allow them to be passed over previously inserted, small-diameter (e.g.,
- 0.006-0.018 inch guidewires they are not adapted for rapid exchange over a guidewire of standard length (e.g., a guidewire which is less than twice the length of the catheter) and c) the clot capturing receptacles of these catheters are not optimally constructed and configured for removal of clots from very small blood . vessels as are typically found in the brain.
- transluminally deployable clot-capturing type embolectomy catheters of the prior art include those described in United States Patent Nos. 4,706,671 (Weinrib), 4,873,978 (Ginsburg), 5.011.488 (Ginsburg) and PCT International Patent Publication No. WO 97/27808(Wensel, et al.).
- None of these prior art embolectomy catheters are believed to be optimally designed for treating ischemic stroke.
- the present invention generally comprises an embolectomy catheter device and method for removing blood clots or other matter from the lumens of blood vessels or other anatomical conduits of a mammalian body.
- the embolectomy catheters and methods of the present invention are particularly suitable for use in removing clots or thromboemboli from small arteries of the mammalian brain to prevent or minimize the severity of stroke.
- An embolectomy catheter device of the present invention generally comprises; a) an elongate, pliable clot penetrating catheter which is advanceable, distal end first, through the clot or other obstructive matter (e.g., thrombus, thromboembolus, peices of detached atherosclerotic plaque, foreign matter, etc.) which is to be removed, and b) a matter capturing receptacle which is deployable from the distal end of the catheter after it has been advanced through the obstructive matter, to capture and facilitate removal of the obstructive matter.
- the matter capturing receptacle is initially disposable in a first or stowed configuration .
- the receptacle is in a radially collapsed condition and contained upon or within the catheter or otherwise sufficiently compact to pass through the clot or other obstructive matter.
- the matter capturing receptacle is deployable (e.g., advanceable, projectable and/or expandable) from the catheter such that it assumes a second or expanded configuration wherein the receptacle may receive and at least partially surround the distal aspect of the clot or other obstructive matter so as to facilitate extraction and removal of the blood clot or other obstructive matter along with the catheter.
- a guidewire lumen may extend longitudinally through the entire length of the catheter (i.e., an "over-the-wire” embodiment) or through only a distal portion of the catheter or through an attached guidewire receiving loop/projection (i.e., a "rapid exchange” embodiment).
- the guidewire lumen may extend through the matter capturing receptacle such that the catheter (with its matter capturing receptacle in its collapsed or stowed configuration) may be advanced over a guidewire which has previously been passed through the vessel-obstructing clot or other obstructive matter.
- Such arrangement of the guidewire lumen additionally allows the embolectomy catheter to be exchanged (e.g., removed and replaced with another embolectomy catheter or another type of catheter) if such exchange should become necessary or desirable.
- This ability to allow the guidewire to remain positioned through the offending clot or other obstructive matter may serve to ensure that the catheter or its replacement can be re-advanced through the clot or other obstructive matter to its desired position.
- the matter capturing receptacle of the catheter may comprise a distal obstructive matter-engaging portion (e.g., a coil, basket or concave member) of porous construction (e.g., a woven, coiled or mesh structure formed of wire, fiber or fabric), which is attached to the catheter by way of one or more proximal struts (e.g. connector members (e.g., a plurality of thin wires or struts).
- proximal struts e.g. connector members (e.g., a plurality of thin wires or struts).
- the matter capturing receptacle is moved to its second (e.g., expanded or operative) configuration, such that the distal obstructive matter -engaging portion 16 of the receptacle will contact and/or at least partially surround the distal aspect of the clot or other obstructive matter.
- the distal obstructive matter -engaging portion of the receptacle is preferably of permeable construction to permit blood to flow therethrough, but is sufficiently dense (i.e., sufficiently impermeable) to prevent the clot or other obstructive matter from passing therethrough.
- the distal obstructive matter-engaging portion of the receptacle is useable to retract or draw the clot or other obstructive matter, in the proximal direction, from its then-present location.
- the proximal strut(s) which extend between the receptacle to the catheter are typically of radially splayed or outwardly angled configuration and is/are preferably configured, oriented and positioned so as to slice, cut or otherwise pass through the matter of the clot or other obstructive matter, when deployed at a sit distal to the clot or other obstructive matter and subsequently retracted in the proximal direction.
- energy e.g., radio-frequency energy, vibration, heat, etc
- energy may be applied to the proximal strut(s) during their proximal retraction through the clot or other obstructive matter.
- a contrast medium injection port may be formed on the proximal portion of the embolectomy catheter, to allow radiographic contrast medium (e.g., dye) to be injected through the catheter while a guidewire remains positioned within the guidewire lumen.
- radiographic contrast medium e.g., dye
- a rapid exchange microcatheter which comprises a small diameter flexible microcatheter of a type commonly used in neuroradiology procedures (e.g., ProwlerTM microcatheter, Cordis Endovascular Systems, Miami Lakes, Florida), which has greater flexibility at or near its distal end than at or near its proximal end, and which . includes in accordance with this invention, the addition of a guidewire passage port formed in the sidewall of the catheter, at a spaced distance (e.g., 0.5-35 cm) from its distal tip.
- a spaced distance e.g., 0.5-35 cm
- a guidewire receiving loop or projection may be formed in the side of the catheter body.
- a guidewire deflector may be formed within the main lumen of the catheter adjacent to the guidewire passage aperture, to deflect the proximal end of a guidewire out of the guidewire passage aperture as the catheter is advanced over the guidewire. The formation of such guidewire passage aperture and guidewire deflector allows a guidewire to be passed through only a distal portion of the catheter lumen.
- This lumen arrangement allows the microcatheter to be exchanged (i.e., removed and replaced by another microcatheter or an embolectomy catheter of the above-summarized design) while the operator holds the guidewire in place by grasping the exteriorized proximal end of the guidewire-even in instances where a standard length guidewire (i.e., not an "exchange-length" guidewire) is used.
- ischemic stroke caused by a thromboembolism which has become lodged in a small blood vessel of the brain (i.e., blood vessels located in, on or around the brain).
- the method of the present invention may be carried out using the rapid-exchange microcatheters and embolectomy catheters of the present invention.
- the preferred method generally comprises the steps of:
- radiographic contrast medium e.g., dye
- G. optionally injecting radiographic contrast medium through a lumen of the embolectomy catheter to guide or verify the positioning of the embolectomy catheter relative to the lodged blood clot or other obstructive matter; H. deploying the obstructive matter-capturing receptacle of the embolectomy catheter such that it assumes its second or expanded configuration at a site which is distal (i.e., downstream) of the lodged blood clot or other obstructive matter; I.
- a proximal portion of the receptacle i.e., proximal struts
- a proximal portion of the receptacle i.e., proximal struts
- J. optionally injecting radiographic contrast medium through a lumen of the. embolectomy catheter to determine whether blood flow has been restored through the region of the blood vessel which had previously been deprived of blood flow due to the presence of the clot or other obstructive matter; and, k. retracting the embolectomy catheter to remove the blood clot or other obstructive matter from the body (e.g., withdrawing the embolectomy catheter and the extracted clot ot other obstructive matter through the percutaneous entry tract through which the catheter had previously been inserted.
- the blood clot or other obstructive matter which is causing an ischemic (i.e., thrombotic or embolic) stroke is removed and arterial bloodflow is restored to the region of the brain which had become ischemic due to the lodging on the offending blood clot or other obstructive matter within the blood vessel.
- an ischemic i.e., thrombotic or embolic

- an exchange-length guidewire i.e., a guidewire which is long enough to allow the exteriorized portion of the guidewire to be longer than the catheter so that the catheter may be withdrawn, removed and exchanged while holding the guidewire in substantially fixed position.
- Third Embodiment Figures 3d and 3d' show a third embodiment (i.e., a rapid exchange type embodiment) of the embolectomy catheter device 10" which is similar in construction to the above described second embodiment 10', but which incorporates a guidewire passage port 267' formed in the sidewall of the catheter 11 " at a spaced distance (e.g., 0.5-35 cm) from its distal end, and a guidewire deflector tube 260' which extends from the guidewire passage port 267' to the lumen 22'.
- the guidewire deflector tube 260' has a flared distal end which is held in a centered position within the lumen by a plurality of radial support members 264'.
- Longitudinal passages 266, 266(alt) are formed between the radial support members 264' to allow radiographic contrast medium or other fluid to flow through the lumen 22', past the flared distal end of the guidewire deflector tube 260'. Selected ones of the longitudinal passages 266(alt) are larger than the others 266 to permit the elongate members 20' which form the obstructive matter capturing receptacle to pass therethrough, as shown.
- the proximal end of a guidewire PEG may be inserted into the distal end opening DEO of the catheter 11 " and, thereafter, the catheter 11 " may be advanced in the distal direction such that the proximal end of the guidewire PEG will enter the flared distal end of the guidewire deflector tube 260', and will be thereby deflected out of the side guidewire passage port 267', as shown.
- the catheter 11' comprises a main tube 300 which has a proximal portion 302 of a first diameter D1 and a distal portion 304 of a second diameter D2.
- a side tube 308 is affixed to one side of the distal portion 304 of the main tube 300, and a guidewire passage aperture 310 is formed into the lumen 309 of the side tube 308, such that the lumen 309 of the side tube may be used as the guidewire lumen, and the distal portion of the guidewire GW which emerges from the side tube lumen 309 may then be passed through the separate guidewire lumen of the obstructive matter capturing receptacle 22 (not shown in figure 3e) and/or any nose cone lumen 22NC (not shown in figure 3e), as described fully hereabove.
- the fifth embodiment (i.e., another rapid exchange embodiment) of the embolectomy catheter device 10"" is similar in construction and operates in the same manner as the fourth embodiment 10'" described above, except that the main tube 300' of this fifth embodiment 10"" is formed of a continuous wire 316 which is would in a tight helical coil, as shown. This construction of the main tube 300' may provide enhanced flexibility over other forms of construction.
- the embolectomy catheter devices 10, 10', 10", 10'", 10"" of the present invention may incorporate various types of obstructive matter capturing receptacles as alternatives to the helical wire basket type receptacles 14, 14' shown in Figures 1a, 2b and 4.
- obstructive matter capturing receptacles are shown in Figures 5-7.
- Figures 5-5a show one alternative obstructive matter-capturing receptacle .
- 400 which comprises a plurality of elastic or superelastic wire spokes 402 which are preformed to a radially splayed configuration as shown, and which have a membranous or fabric cover 404 disposed thereon to form an umbrella like structure.
- the membranous or fabric cover 404 may be of non-porous or porous configuration, and is preferably formed of material such as polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethane, ethylene vinyl acetate or silicone.
- a central hub is formed at the center of the spokes 402, and a guidewire lumen extends through such central hub such that the guidewire may pass the center of the receptacle 400, in the manner depicted in Figures 5 and 5a.
- the ends of the spokes 402 may have bulbs 408 formed thereon to minimize trauma to the surrounding blood vessel walls, as shown in Figure 5'. Or, as an alternative to such bulbs 408, atraumatic loops 410 may be formed on the distal ends of the spokes 402 to prevent vascular trauma.
- the spokes 402 are of sufficiently small diameter to be retracted through a thromboembolism without causing substantial disruption of segmentation of the thromboembolism. Also, in the embodiment shown in Figure 5, it will be appreciated that the spokes 402 may have a greater curvature than that shown, such that the free ends of the spokes 402 will not be in direct contact with the blood vessel wall.
- Figures 5b-5b" show another obstructive matter capturing receptacle 420 which comprises a plurality of elastic or superelastic wire spokes 402' which are pre- formed to a radially splayed configuration as shown, and a porous fabric (e.g., woven, knitted, mesh or net fabric) sac 422 attached to the spokes 402' to form an umbrella-like structure, as shown.
- the material used to form this sac 422 may be the same microporous material as specified hereabove with respect to the membranous or fabric cover 404 of the embodiment shown in Figure 5.
- a central aperture 426 is formed in the sac 422 such that a guidewire GW may be passed through a region among the spokes 402', and through such aperture 426, as shown in Figures 5b and 5b'.
- Draw lines 424 are attached to the free ends of the spokes 402' and extend through the lumen of the catheter. These draw lines 424 and the spokes 402' are of sufficiently small diameter to be retracted through a thromboembolism without causing substantial disruption or segmentation of the thromboembolism.
- the receptacle 420 After the receptacle 420 has been advanced through the thromboembolism, it is deployed (e.g., radially expanded) and retracted such that the draw lines 424 and spokes 402' will retract through and will become located proximal to, the thromboembolism. Thereafter, the draw lines 424 are retractable into the catheter to pull distal ends of the spokes 402' inwardly such that the proximal mouth PM of the sac will be drawn partially around the captured obstructive matter in the manner shown in Figures 5b' and 5b".
- Figure 5c shows another alternative obstructive matter capturing receptacle which employs a resilient, generally football shaped cage to effect radial expansion/contraction of a membranous or fabric cover 444.
- the cage comprises approximately six (6) elongate members 442 of preformed elastic, super-elastic or shape memory metal wire disposed longitudinally about a longitudinal axis LA, and having the membranous or fabric covering 444 disposed on the distal portions DP thereof.
- the distal ends DE of the elongate members 442 are attached to a nose cone 446 which has a guidewire passage lumen extending longitudinally therethrough.
- the members 442 When retracted into the lumen of the catheter, the members 442 will radially compress to a diameter which is received within the catheter lumen. However, when advanced out of the catheter the members 442 will resiiiently expand to the configuration shown.
- the proximal portions of the members are sufficiently small in diameter to slice, cut or otherwise pass in the proximal direction through a thromboembolism or clot without disrupting or causing fragmentation of the thromboembolism or clot.
- Figures 7 and 7a show an alternative helical basket type of obstructive matter capturing receptacle 14" which is of the same general configuration, and operates in the same manner, as the helical basket type receptacles 14, 14' shown in Figures
- the receptacle 14" is formed of a plurality of flat ribbons 500 formed of metal such as cobalt-chromium-nickel alloy (ElgiloyTM, Elgiloy, Inc., Elgin, Illinois), a shape memory and/or super-elastic material such as nickel-titanium alloy, or other suitable metal or plastic.
- the distal portions of the flat ribbons 500 are . preformed to helical configurations to form the helical basket 502.
- the proximal portions of the ribbons 500 serve as connector members 504 between the helical basket 502 and the catheter 11.
- Each ribbon 500 has first and second flat surfaces 512 and first and second edges 514.
- Each of the ribbons 500 is twisted 90 degrees at a point of transition 510 between the connector members 504 and the helical basket 502. This twisting of the ribbons causes a) the distal portions to be situated with their edges 514 in juxtaposition such that a thromboembolus contained within the helical basket 502 will rest upon the flat surfaces of the ribbons 500, and b) the proximal portions to be situated with their edges aimed in the proximal direction to facilitate retraction of the distal connector members 504 through the thromboembolus without causing the thromboembolus to be substantially fragmented or disrupted.
- Optional Guide Catheter/Proximal Obstructive Matter Retaining Member As illustrated in figure 6, it may be desirable to use the embolectomy catheter devices 10, 10', 10", 10'", 10"" in conjunction with a guide catheter 50 through which the embolectomy catheter 11 may be advanced.
- a guide catheter 50 through which the embolectomy catheter 11 may be advanced.
- a proximal obstructive matter retaining member 52 such as a tubular sheath having a radially flared and splayable distal end as shown in Figure 5a, may be advanced out of the distal end DE of the guide catheter 50 such that the clot C or other obstructive matter may be captured between the distal obstructive matter receiving portion 16 of the receptacle 14 and the flared distal end of the proximal obstructive matter retaining member 52.
- this optional proximal obstructive matter retaining member 52 may be particularly useful in cases where the thromboembolism is very fresh or has been inadvertently severed or segmented so as to present a danger of breaking apart or fragmenting during the removal procedure.
- embolectomy catheters of this invention are used to remove thromboemboli from small blood vessels of the brain, it will be .
- embolectomy catheters 10, 10", 10", 10"', 10" of the present invention may necessarily be of very small diameter (e.g., 0.10-0.20 inches) in order to navigate the tiny blood vessels of the brain, the presence of the retracted obstructive matter capturing receptacle 14, 14', 400, 420 or 440 within that catheter 11 may severely limit the amount of radiographic contrast medium which could be infused though that catheter 11.

- This rapid exchange microcatheter 265 comprises an elongate, flexible catheter having a proximal portion 12" of a first diameter and first flexibility, and a distal portion 270" which has a second (i.e., smaller) diameter and a second (i.e., greater) flexibility.
- the guidewire deflector tube 260 has a flared distal end which is held in a centered position within the lumen by a plurality of radial support members 264. Longitudinal passages 266 are formed between the radial support members 264 to allow radiographic contrast medium or other fluid to flow through the lumen 271 , past the flared distal end of the guidewire deflector tube 260.
- a guidewire PEG may be inserted into the distal end opening DEO of the catheter and, thereafter, the catheter may be advanced in the distal direction such that the proximal end of the guidewire PEG will enter the flared distal end of the guidewire deflector tube 260, and will be thereby deflected out of the side guidewire passage port 267, as shown in Figure 3c.
