The invention technical field
The present invention relates generally to and utilize the minimally-invasive technology to repair the system and method for the defective in the physiology inner chamber, this defective is such as the defective of mammiferous blood vessel or air flue.More specifically, the present invention relates to utilize the inaccessible undesirable opening of minimally-invasive technology, clamping is also repaired the mankind or the system and method for the defective of the organizational structure of animal, this defective such as aneurysm, other vascular defect, in every defective and other tissue defects and other channel defect.
Background of invention
Be used for the sealing opening and repair the defective of organizing inner chamber and tissue such as blood vessel, in be high invasive every the physiological defect of defective and other type and the surgical technic of defective.For example, be used for the aneurysmal surgical method of clamping and need to open skull, excise or remove the cerebral tissue of covering, from the outside clamping of blood vessel and repair aneurysm, then re-assembly tissue and seal skull.The surgical technic that is used for repairing every defective is also high invasive.To in this intra-operative and the anesthesia after this operation, bleed and to infect relevant risk high, and the affected tissue of intra-operative may, also may not can surviving and continue plays a role.
Alternatively, the minimally-invasive surgical technic can be used for locking device place in vivo opening or cavity in or stride across this opening or cavity, this opening or cavity are in tissues such as vascular system, spinal column, fallopian tube, bile duct, bronchus and other air flue.Usually, by delivery conduit, implantable device is guided to desired locations, and can implantable device be pushed through the opening of the far-end that is positioned at delivery conduit by the pushing mechanism such as pusher or pipeline (delivery wire), thereby launch this device at the desired locations place that gets involved.In case locking device has been placed on the desired locations place, this locking device is in the placement that does not hinder this locking device or destroy under the state of surrounding structure and separate from pushing mechanism.
Aneurysm is the protuberance in arterial wall, and it causes due to the reduction of arterial wall usually, and this protuberance forms opening or cavity and is often to bleed and the position of apoplexy in inside.Usually, the purpose of minimally-invasive treatment is to prevent that the material that gathers or be formed in cavity from entering blood flow, and anti-Hemostatic Oral Liquid enters and accumulates in aneurysm.This is often by realizing in various materials and device introducing aneurysm.
Reduce the risk to patient relevant to aneurysmal existence with various suppositories and device.One class suppository comprises injectable fluid or suspension, such as microfibre collagen, various polymer microsphere and polyvinyl alcohol foam.These polymerizers can be crosslinked (sometimes in vivo), to extend preparation in the persistency of vessel location.These preparations are often introduced in vascular system by conduit.After introducing, the material that is introduced into forms solid space-filling piece in this position.Although some in these preparations provide good short-term obturation, many preparations are considered to allow vascular heavily logical owing to absorbing into blood.Also be suggested and be used for promoting aneurysmal obturation such as other material of bristles and metal particle suspension.Polymer resin such as cyanoacrylate also is used as injectable vascular occlusion material.These resins typically mix mutually with radiopaque control material, perhaps become radiopaque material by adding the tantalum powder.It is most important and very difficult accurately and in time placing these mixture.In case these materials are put into vascular system, they will be difficult to or can not regain.
Implantable vascular occlusion metal structure also is widely known by the people and uses general.Many vascular occluding devices provide with the structure of bung flange (coil), and are made of shape-memory material, and this shape-memory material forms the bung flange structure of expectation after leaving the far-end of delivery conduit.The purpose of this bung flange is to fill the space that is formed by defective or damage, and is convenient to form thromboembolism to relevant same source tissue.A plurality of bung flanges with same structure or different structure can sequentially be implanted in single aneurysm or other vascular defect at intra-operative.Implantable frame structure also is used for attempting to stablize the wall of aneurysm or defective before the packing material that inserts such as bung flange.
Generally include delivery conduit and separating mechanism for the technology that vascular occluding device is delivered to impact point (target site), this separating mechanism separates bung flange after bung flange is placed on impact point from conveying mechanism.Typically by means of using steerable seal wire (guidewire), microtubular is handled at first by delivery conduit and is entered or close aneurysmal import.Then, seal wire is extracted out from the microtubular inner chamber and is replaced by implantable vascular occlusion bung flange.The vascular occlusion bung flange advances and passes and break away from microtubular, thereby and is deposited on aneurysm or other vascular is extremely interior.Internal volume at cavity is implanted into vascular occluding device and safeguards that in aneurysmal internal volume this device is vital.Vascular occluding device from the migration of cavity or outstanding can with blood flow or near physiological structure interference, and cause serious health risk.
There is special difficulty in the aneurysm of known a kind of being commonly referred to " wide carotid aneurysm " aspect the placement of vascular occlusion bung flange and maintenance.Wide carotid aneurysm is often referred to has the tumor neck or from the aneurysm of the blood vessel wall of the entry zone of adjacent vascular, this tumor neck or entry zone are compared greatly with aneurysmal diameter, perhaps observe clinically too wide and can not effectively keep the vascular occlusion bung flange that uses above-mentioned technology to launch.
Place bung flange or other structure or material and not exclusively success in the inner space of aneurysm or other defective.Place operation and may be effort and tediously long, need to sequentially place the multiple device such as bung flange in aneurysmal inner space.Usually, perform the operation longer, relate to from anaesthetize, bleed, the complication risk of infection etc. is higher.In addition, due to the common incomplete inaccessible opening of displacement structure in aneurysmal inner space, therefore more may occur former aneurysmal logically again, the risk of apoplexy, vessel occlusion or other undesirable complication can be overflowed and exist to fragment and occlusive materials in the aneurysm.In addition, after placing embolization device, blood also may flow in aneurysm and other aberrant angiogenesis, and this has increased the risk of complication and has further enlarged aneurysm.In addition, some aneurysms, vascular and other channel defect are not to be suitable for very much placing bung flange or other traditional locking device.
Proposed to be used for keeping the device of vascular occlusion bung flange in aneurysm.At United States Patent (USP) 5,980, a kind of such device has been described in 514, this patent discloses the interior intracavity of the supply vascular that is placed on the aneurysm outside bung flange is remained on the device in the aneurysm cavity.This device remains on the appropriate location by the radial pressure of blood vessel wall.After this device being discharged and be placed on correct position, microtubular is inserted the interior intracavity of holding device back, and the far-end of conduit inserts for placing in the aneurysm cavity of one or more vascular occluding devices.This holding device prevents that locking device from moving from cavity.
At United States Patent (USP) 5,749, described in 894 and be used for sealing aneurysmal another kind of method, in this patent, vascular occluding device such as bung flange or braid has polymer (polymeric composition) on its outer surface, and this polymer is reformed in the original place or condensed to provide obstacle.This polymer can be for example by melting with photoactivation, or additionally reform at the polymer of vascular occluding device outside.Then, vascular occluding device its various contact positions places adhere to from it, and form the integral blocks of rigidity in aneurysm.
Also proposed to be used for the device of the aneurysmal tumor neck of bridge joint.For example, U.S. Patent application 2003/0171739A1 discloses a kind of bridge material of tumor neck, and it has the one or more array elements that are attached on join domain and the covering that is attached on join domain and/or array element.This array element can comprise the Nitonol alloy hoop, and this covering can comprise fabric, net or other laminated structure.
