Abstract
Description
このように、生分解性の繊維を細くした場合であっても、狭窄部に留置された状態において十分な強度を有する生分解性ステントは見出されていないのが現状である。
図1Aは、本発明の第1実施形態に係る合成樹脂ステントとしての生分解性ステント1の斜視図であり、図1Bは、生分解性ステント1の側面図である。
図1A及びBに示すように、生分解性ステント1は、ステント本体部2と、拡径機構3と、規制機構4と、を備える。
係止部41は、紐状部材30に形成される。係止部41は、図1A及びBに示すようにステント本体部2の内部に配置される。
係止部41は、紐状部材30の径方向外側に突出した形状に形成される。係止部41は、紐状部材30の結び目であってもよいし、紐状部材30に形成される三角形状の返し部材であってもよい。また、係止部41は、紐状部材30の一部をリング状に形成したものであってもよい。紐状部材30及び係止部41は、生分解性の素材で構成されていてもよいし、生分解性ではない素材によって構成されていてもよい。
輪部44は、結び目部43からステント本体部2の一端側(X方向側)に向かって膨らむように形成される(図4参照)。輪部44の大きさ(直径)は、環状部42の直径よりも大きく形成される。
ステント本体部2は、紐状部材30をY方向側に向かって引くことによって、図3A及びBに示すように軸方向に収縮して拡径される。
このようにして、係止部41は環状部42に係止されて、ステント本体部2は拡径した状態に維持される。
(1)第1実施形態では、生分解性ステント1が、ステント本体部2が拡径した状態から縮径することを規制することで、ステント本体部2を拡径した状態に維持する規制機構4を備えるものとした。
これにより、ステント本体部2は、拡径した状態において径方向外側からの圧力が加わったとしても、規制機構4を備えることによって縮径し難い。従って、生分解性ステント1は、仮に繊維20の径を細くした場合であっても、拡径した状態において径方向外側から加わる圧力に対しての耐性を有する。
これにより、狭窄部に接近させた生分解性ステント1(ステント本体部2)を拡径させることができる。
これにより、紐状部材30を引くだけで、ステント本体部2を拡径させることができる。従って、容易に、狭窄部に接近させた生分解性ステント1(ステント本体部2)を拡径させることができる。
これにより、紐状部材30を引くだけで、ステント本体部2を拡径させた上に、規制機構4によって、ステント本体部2を拡径した状態に維持することができる。従って、より容易に、狭窄部に接近させた生分解性ステント1(ステント本体部2)を拡径させることができる上に、生分解性ステント1を拡径した状態に維持することができる。
これにより、ステント本体部2を拡径させる際に、紐状部材30が患者の狭窄部とステント本体部2との間に挟まれない。従って、紐状部材30を引いて、円滑にステント本体部2を拡径させることができる。
これにより、紐状部材30を引いてステント本体部2を拡径させる際に、ステント本体部2にかかる力の重心が偏ってしまうのを防ぐことができる。従って、複数の紐状部材30を同時に引いて、円滑にステント本体部2を拡径させることができる。
これにより、生分解性ステント1は、縮径した状態においてデリバリーシステム等の細管状の部材110に収納しやすくなる。
また、係止部41を、結び目部43と輪部44とにより構成し、輪部44の大きさを環状部42の大きさよりも大きく形成することで、輪部44を変形させて環状部42を通過させられ、その後、紐状部材30の弾性により輪部44を元の形状に復元させられる。これにより、図4に示すように、係止部41(輪部44)を、環状部42に安定的に係止させられる。
更に、輪部44を結び目部43からステント本体部2の一端側(X方向側)に向かって膨らむように形成することで、輪部44を環状部42により安定的に係止させられる。
図7は、本発明の第2実施形態に係る生分解性ステント1Bの斜視図である。生分解性ステント1Bのうち生分解性ステント1と同一の構成については、図7において生分解性ステント1と同様の符号を付して説明を省略する。
第1の紐状部材31Bは、一端がステント本体部2Bに接続され且つ係止部41Bが形成される。第1の紐状部材31Bは、係止部41Bよりも他端側に配置され且つ環状に形成される連結部311Bを有する。
第2の紐状部材32Bは、第1の紐状部材31Bの他端側に取り外し可能に連結される。より詳しくは、第2の紐状部材32Bは、連結部311Bに挿通されて折り返されることで、第1の紐状部材31Bに取り外し可能に連結される。
このようにして、係止部41Bは環状部42Bに係止されて、ステント本体部2Bは拡径した状態に維持される。
(9)第2実施形態では、紐状部材30Bが、一端がステント本体部2Bに接続され且つ係止部41Bが形成される第1の紐状部材31Bと、第1の紐状部材31Bの他端側に取り外し可能に連結される第2の紐状部材32Bと、を有するものとした。
これにより、生分解性ステント1Bを狭窄部Nに留置した後に、第1の紐状部材31Bから第2の紐状部材32Bを取り外すことができる。従って、生分解性ステント1Bによれば、紐状部材30Bのうち、ステント本体部2Bを拡径した状態に維持するために必要のない部分を、はさみ等を用いることなく取り除くことができるので、患者及び操作者の負担を軽減できる。
図9は、本発明の第3実施形態に係る生分解性ステント1Cの側面図である。生分解性ステント1Cのうち生分解性ステント1と同一の構成については、図9において生分解性ステント1と同様の符号を付して説明を省略する。
(10)第3実施形態では、紐状部材30Cを、ステント本体部2Cに接続された一端と環状部42Cとの間において、一部がステント本体部2Cに沿うように規制した。
これにより、ステント本体部2Cを拡径する際に、紐状部材30Cをステント本体部2Cに沿うようにして引くことができる。従って、生分解性ステント1Cによれば、ステント本体部2Cを、円筒形状を維持しながらバランスよく且つ円滑に拡径することができる。
図10Aは、本発明の第4実施形態に係る生分解性ステント1Dの縮径した状態の側面図であり、図10Bは、生分解性ステント1Dの拡径した状態の側面図である。生分解性ステント1Dのうち生分解性ステント1と同一の構成については、生分解性ステント1と同様の符号を付して説明を省略する。
(11)第4実施形態では、拡径機構3Dを、ステント本体部2Dの両端部に両端がそれぞれ接続された紐状の弾性部材50Dとし、弾性部材50Dが、収縮した状態でステント本体部2Dを拡径した状態に維持するものとした。
これにより、より単純な構造によって、ステント本体部2Dを拡径し、更にステント本体部2Dを拡径した状態に維持することができる。
図11A及びBは、本発明の第5実施形態に係る生分解性ステント1Eを示す側面図であり、図11Aは、生分解性ステント1Eが縮径した状態を示し、図11Bは、生分解性ステント1Eが拡径した状態を示す。
第5実施形態の生分解性ステント1Eは、主として、ステント本体部2Eの形状及び拡径機構3Eの構成において第1実施形態と異なる。
2つの端部拡径機構31E及び2つの中央部拡径機構32Eは、それぞれ、対向して配置される。また、端部拡径機構31と中央部拡径機構32Eとは、ステント本体部2Eの周方向に90度ずれて配置される。
中央部拡径機構32Eは、ステント本体部2Eの中央部(フレア形状部分以外の部分)を拡径させる。第5実施形態では、中央部拡径機構32Eを構成する紐状部材321Eの一端側は、ステント本体部2Eの一端側(X方向側)におけるフレア形状部分の基端部に接続され、ステント本体部2Eの他端側(Y方向側)に延びる。
端部規制機構41Eは、ステント本体部2Eの端部が拡径した状態を維持させる。端部規制機構41Eを構成する環状部412Eは、ステント本体部2Eの中央部における一端側(X方向側)に配置され、係止部411Eは、環状部412Eよりも一端側(X方向側)に配置される。
(12)第5実施形態では、端部拡径機構31E及び端部規制機構41Eによりステント本体部2Eの端部(フレア形状部分)を拡径させると共にこの拡径させた状態を維持させられ、中央部拡径機構32E及び中央部規制機構42Eによりステント本体部2Eの中央部を拡径させると共にこの拡径させた状態を維持させられる。これにより、ステント本体部2Eの端部の径が中央部の径よりも大きく形成された場合であっても、ステント本体部2Eの端部及び中央部を好適に拡径させられ、また拡径させた状態を好適に維持させられる。
また、端部規制機構41Eを構成する環状部412Eと、中央部規制機構42Eを構成する環状部422Eとを、ステント本体部2Eの軸方向においてずれた位置に配置した。これにより、複数の環状部を含んで生分解性ステント1Eを構成した場合であっても、複数の環状部によりステント本体部2Eの内部に部分的に狭くなった箇所が形成されることを防げる。
また、上記実施形態では、内視鏡を用いて生分解性ステント1を狭窄部Nに留置させたが、本発明の生分解性ステントを狭窄部に留置する方法はこれに限定されない。例えば、カテーテルを用いて生分解性ステントを狭窄部に接近・留置させてもよい。
また、規制機構4の有する係止部41及び環状部42の位置は、所望される、拡径した状態のステント本体部2の直径に応じて適宜変更することが可能である。
PLLAからなる繊維(直径0.25mm)24本を網目状に編み込むことで円筒形状のステント本体部(直径17mm、長さ76mm)を作製した。また、PLLAからなる繊維(直径0.2mm)に結び目(係止部)を形成した紐状部材を2本作製し、これらの一端をステント本体部の一方側の端部に、ステント本体部の周方向に等間隔を開けて接着させた。更に、ステント本体部の他方側の端部に環状部材を接着して固定することで生分解性ステントを作製した(図1A及びB参照)。
紐状部材に係止部を形成しない点及びステント本体部に環状部材を接着させない点以外は、実施例1と同様に生分解性ステントを形成した。つまり、比較例1の生分解性ステントは規制機構を有さない。
PLLAとP(LA/CL)とを質量比(PLLAの質量/P(LA/CL)の質量)が90/10となるように混合したブレンドポリマーからなる繊維(直径0.6mm)16本を網目状に編み込むことで生分解性ステント(ステント本体部、直径17mm)を作製した。比較例2の生分解性ステントは紐状部材及び規制機構を有さない。
ブレンドポリマーからなる繊維の直径を0.7mmとし且つ繊維を16本とした以外は、実施例1と同様に生分解性ステントを作製した。
ブレンドポリマーからなる繊維の直径を0.8mmとし且つ繊維を16本とした以外は、実施例1と同様に生分解性ステントを作製した。
実施例1、比較例1及び2の生分解性ステントを圧縮強度の測定に供した。
実施例1の生分解性ステントは、紐状部材を引くことで、ステント本体部を軸方向に収縮させて拡径した。この際、係止部を環状部材(環状部)に係止させた。係止部が環状部材に係止されることで、ステント本体部は拡径した状態(直径19mm、長さ40mm)に維持される。この拡径した状態における、径方向の圧縮強度(ステント本体部の直径が2分の1になるために必要な負荷)をJIS T 0401に準拠する方法で測定した。測定後において、生分解性ステントの破損は観察されなかった。
実施例1、比較例1及び2の生分解性ステントの圧縮強度を測定した結果を図5のグラフに示した。圧縮強度は相対的な値を示した。なお、参考例として、金属製の大腸ステント(WallFlex Colonic、ボストン・サイエンティフィックジャパン株式会社製)と金属製の食道ステント(フレックスエラ-J、株式会社バイオラックスメディカルデバイス製)の圧縮強度を、実施例1の生分解性ステントと同様の方法により測定した。これらの測定結果も図5に示した。
実施例1及び比較例2の生分解性ステントについて、内径2.4mmのチューブへの収納性を確認した。実施例1の生分解性ステントは、円滑にチューブ内に収納することができた。一方、比較例2の生分解性ステントは、直径2.4mmまで縮径することができず、チューブに挿入できなかった。
これらの結果から、ステント本体部を拡径した状態に維持する規制機構を備える生分解性ステントは、細管状の部材に収納するために生分解性の繊維を細くした場合であっても径方向外側から加わる圧力に対して十分な耐性を有することが確認された。
