Abstract
Un conducto (12) para implantar en el corazón (CP), comprendiendo el conducto (12): una endoprótesis (12) hueca, administrable por vía vascular y expansible, que tiene un interior y un exterior, y configurada para colocarla entre un primer vaso sanguíneo y una cámara cardiaca; y una sección de un segundo vaso sanguíneo (10) colocada en dicho interior de la endoprótesis (12) y adaptada para permitir que la sangre fluya a través de la misma, caracterizado porque la sección del segundo vaso sanguíneo (10) contiene al menos una válvula natural (6, 14) que puede funcionar para restringir el flujo por el conducto (12) desde el vaso sanguíneo a la cámara cardiaca durante la diástole.
Description
Conexión transmiocárdica.
Esta invención se refiere a conductos que
permiten la comunicación de fluidos de una parte del cuerpo de un
paciente a otra; y más en particular, a un conducto de flujo
sanguíneo para permitir la comunicación de una cámara cardiaca a un
vaso o viceversa, y/o de vaso a vaso. Incluso más particularmente,
la invención se refiere a un conducto ventricular izquierdo y
configuraciones de conductos relacionadas que tienen un injerto de
vaso sanguíneo incorporado en las mismas para controlar el flujo
sanguíneo a través del conducto para lograr la derivación de una
arteria coronaria ocluida o estenosada.
La enfermedad arterial coronaria es un problema
importante en EE.UU. y en todo el mundo. Las arterias coronarias
así como otros vasos sanguíneos con frecuencia quedan obstruidos por
placas que al final pueden reducir el flujo de sangre y oxígeno al
músculo cardiaco (miocardio) y pueden deteriorar la eficacia de la
acción de bombeo del corazón, y pueden conducir al ataque cardiaco
(infarto de miocardio) y a la muerte. En algunos casos, estas
arterias coronarias se pueden desbloquear mediante técnicas no
invasivas tales como la angioplastia con balón. En casos más
difíciles es necesaria una derivación quirúrgica del vaso
bloqueado.
En una operación de derivación coronaria se
insertan uno o más segmentos venosos entre la aorta y la arteria
coronaria, o alternativamente el extremo distal de una arteria
mamaria interna se anastomosa a la arteria coronaria en un sitio
distal de la estenosis u oclusión. Los segmentos de vena o
transplantes insertados actúan como una derivación de la parte
bloqueada de la arteria coronaria y así proporcionan un flujo libre
o sin obstrucción de la sangre al corazón. En EE.UU. se llevan a
cabo más de 500.000 procedimientos de derivación cada año.
Sin embargo, dicha cirugía de injerto de
derivación de la arteria coronaria (CABG, por sus siglas en inglés)
es un procedimiento muy invasivo que es caro, traumático para el
paciente y requiere tiempo. La operación requiere una incisión en
el esternón del paciente (esternotomía), y que se conecte al
paciente una bomba de derivación de corazón-pulmón
de modo que se pueda operar el corazón mientras no está latiendo. Se
toma un injerto de la vena safena de la pierna del paciente, otro
procedimiento muy invasivo, y se requiere un procedimiento
quirúrgico delicado para poner el injerto de derivación en la
arteria coronaria (anastomosis). La estancia en el hospital después
de la cirugía y la convalecencia son largas. Además, muchos
pacientes son candidatos poco adecuados para la cirugía debido a
otras enfermedades concomitantes.
Como se ha mencionado antes, otro tratamiento
convencional es la angioplastia coronaria transluminal percutánea
(PTCA) u otros tipos de angioplastia. Sin embargo, dichos
tratamientos vasculares no siempre están indicados debido al tipo o
localización del bloqueo o estenosis o debido al riesgo de
embolia.
Por lo tanto, es necesario un sistema de
derivación coronaria mejor que sea menos traumático para el
paciente.
La patente de EE.UU. nº 5.429.144 describe una
endoprótesis que se dispone en el miocardio de modo que se extiende
sólo en el miocardio. La endoprótesis se puede extender sólo
parcialmente por el miocardio, desde el ventrículo izquierdo del
corazón a una arteria coronaria, corriente arriba de una obstrucción
vascular. Alternativamente, la endoprótesis se puede extender
completamente por el miocardio para establecer un flujo sanguíneo
desde el ventrículo izquierdo a una arteria coronaria, corriente
abajo de una obstrucción vascular.
El documento WO 98/08456 describe un aparato
para la revascularización coronaria directa en la que se forma un
conducto transmiocárdico entre una cámara cardiaca y un vaso
sanguíneo coronario para permitir que la sangre fluya entre ellos.
En algunas realizaciones, el conducto transmiocárdico se forma entre
una cámara cardiaca y una vena coronaria. Se describen conductos
transmiocárdicos unstent, así como conductos transmiocárdicos
en los que dispositivos de endoprótesis salientes se extienden
desde el conducto transmiocárdico a un vaso coronario adyacente o
cámara cardiaca.
La presente invención aborda la necesidad de la
tecnología previa, proporcionando un conducto de acuerdo con la
reivindicación 1. Este conducto se puede usar en un sistema de
derivación coronaria que evita una esternotomía y otros aspectos
invasivos asociados con la cirugía de derivación coronaria. También
evita que el cirujano tenga que realizar múltiples anastomosis, como
se requiere en el procedimiento actual.
El presente dispositivo proporciona un conducto
para desviar la sangre directamente desde una cámara cardiaca, tal
como el ventrículo izquierdo del corazón, a la arteria coronaria
distal respecto del bloqueo o estenosis, bordeando así la parte del
vaso bloqueada. El conducto comprende una endoprótesis adaptada para
colocarla en la pared del corazón y que tiene una sección de vaso
sanguíneo unida al interior del conducto, para proporcionar un paso
para el flujo sanguíneo, que es similar a los propios vasos
sanguíneos del cuerpo.
El dispositivo del conducto se administra por la
arteria coronaria a una posición distal del bloqueo o estenosis. En
esta posición, la arteria coronaria y la pared del ventrículo
izquierdo, incluyendo el miocardio, son perforadas para
proporcionar una abertura o canal completamente a través de la
arteria coronaria al ventrículo izquierdo del corazón. Después el
conducto se coloca en la abertura para proporcionar un paso
permanente para que la sangre fluya entre el ventrículo izquierdo
del corazón y la arteria coronaria, distal del bloqueo o
estenosis.
El conducto está diseñado de modo que un extremo
abierto se coloca dentro de la arteria coronaria, mientras que el
otro extremo abierto se coloca en el ventrículo izquierdo. Antes de
implantar el conducto, se obtiene una sección de vena o de otro
vaso sanguíneo del paciente, de otro donante humano o de un animal
no humano. La vena o el otro vaso sanguíneo son de un tamaño para
que encajen en el interior del conducto. El lúmen hueco del
conducto con el injerto de vaso sanguíneo insertado en el mismo
proporciona un paso para el flujo de sangre.
La sección del vaso sanguíneo insertada en el
conducto incluye una o más válvulas naturales unidireccionales. La
válvula previene el reflujo de sangre del miocardio al ventrículo
izquierdo. Por ejemplo, se puede usar una sección de vena que tenga
una válvula en la misma. Alternativamente, se puede usar la válvula
pulmonar o aórtica obtenida de un animal no humano, tal como un
cerdo fetal o lechón, para proporcionar un paso de unidireccional
para el flujo sanguíneo a través del conducto.
La Figura 1A es una vista esquemática del corte
transversal de un corazón humano, que muestra un conducto en el
miocardio del corazón para formar una derivación entre el ventrículo
izquierdo y una arteria coronaria;
La Figura 1B es una vista aumentada del conducto
de derivación de la Figura 1A;
La Figura 2 es una vista aumentada de un injerto
de vena incorporado en un conducto del corazón de acuerdo con una
disposición preferida;
La Figura 3 es una vista del corte transversal
de primer plano de un bloqueo o estenosis en la arteria coronaria,
que ilustra el conducto de la disposición preferida colocado de modo
que bordea el bloqueo o estenosis.
Como se sabe, la arteria coronaria se bifurca de
la aorta y está situada a lo largo de la superficie externa de la
pared del corazón. La sangre oxigenada que ha vuelto de los pulmones
al corazón fluye entonces del corazón a la aorta. Algo de sangre en
la aorta fluye a las arterias coronarias, y el resto de la sangre en
la aorta fluye al resto del cuerpo. Las arterias coronarias son el
principal suministro de sangre al músculo cardiaco y por lo tanto
son críticas para la vida. En algunos individuos, la placa
aterosclerótica, las plaquetas agregadas y/o los trombos formados
dentro de la arteria coronaria, bloquean el flujo libre de sangre y
producen complicaciones que van desde una angina leve al ataque
cardiaco y la muerte. La presencia del vasoespasmo coronario,
también conocido como "angina variante" o "angina de
Prinzmetal" complica este problema en muchos pacientes.
Tal como se usa en este documento, la expresión
"cámara cardiaca" se refiere principalmente al aspecto interior
o luminal del ventrículo izquierdo o derecho o del atrio izquierdo
o derecho. El término "conducto", "endoprótesis" y
"tubo" en el presente documento se refieren a estructuras
físicas, preferiblemente principalmente artificiales, que se pueden
colocar entre dos o más cámaras o vasos, para permitir que la sangre
fluya de una cámara o vaso a otro. Una "conexión" es cualquier
paso natural o artificial entre canales naturales, tales como
cámaras del corazón o vasos sanguíneos. El conducto en la
disposición preferida puede estar hecho de una variedad de
materiales, incluyendo diferentes metales tales como nitinol o
plásticos.
Tal como se usa en este documento, la expresión
"pared del corazón" comprende una cualquiera o más de las
siguientes partes o capas del corazón de mamífero: el epicardio,
miocardio, endocardio, pericardio, septo interatrial y septo
intraventricular.
Los principios de la presente invención no están
limitados a los conductos ventriculares izquierdos e incluyen
conductos para comunicar fluidos del cuerpo desde cualquier espacio
en un paciente a otro espacio en el paciente, incluido cualquier
mamífero. Además, dicha comunicación de fluidos a través de los
conductos no está limitada a ninguna dirección particular de flujo
y puede ser anterógrada o retrógrada con respecto al flujo normal
del fluido. Además, los conductos pueden comunicar un espacio del
cuerpo con un vaso, o un vaso con otro vaso (tal como una arteria
con una vena o viceversa). Además, los conductos pueden residir en
un solo espacio del cuerpo para así comunicar fluidos desde una
parte del espacio a otra. Por ejemplo, los conductos se pueden usar
para lograr una derivación en un solo vaso, de forma que comuniquen
sangre desde una parte proximal de una arteria coronaria ocluida a
una parte más distal de la misma arteria coronaria.
Además, los conductos y los procedimientos
relacionados preferiblemente pueden atravesar varios destinos
intermedios y no se limitan a ninguna secuencia de flujo
particular. Por ejemplo, en una realización preferida de la presente
invención, el conducto comunica desde el ventrículo izquierdo u
otra cámara cardiaca o vaso coronario, a través del miocardio, al
especio pericárdico y después a la arteria coronaria. Sin embargo,
se describen otras realizaciones preferidas, que incluyen la
comunicación transmiocárdica directa desde un ventrículo izquierdo,
a través del miocardio y a la arteria coronaria. Por lo tanto, como
se ha destacado antes, el término "transmiocárdico" no debe
considerarse sólo en relación con los conductos de comunicación de
fluidos preferidos, y también se prefieren otras comunicaciones de
fluidos no miocárdicas e incluso no cardiacos. Con respecto a las
paredes del corazón (y más específicamente la expresión "pared
del corazón"), los conductos preferidos y procedimientos
relacionados son capaces de comunicar fluidos por todas dichas
paredes incluyendo, sin limitación, el pericardio, epicardio,
miocardio, endocardio, septo, etc.
La derivación que se logra con determinadas
realizaciones preferidas y procedimientos relacionados no está
limitada a una derivación completa de flujo de fluido corporal, sino
que también puede incluir una derivación parcial que complemente
con ventaja el flujo sanguíneo corporal normal. Además, las
obstrucciones que son derivadas pueden ser de naturaleza parcial o
completa, y por lo tanto la terminología "derivación" u
"oclusión" no debe considerarse que se limite a una derivación
completa o una oclusión completa, sino que puede incluir la
derivación parcial y oclusión parcial como se describe.
Los conductos preferidos y procedimientos
relacionados descritos en el presente documento también pueden
proporcionar pasos completos o parciales a través de los tejidos
del cuerpo. En relación con esto, los conductos pueden comprender
endoprótesiss, conexiones o similares, y por lo tanto pueden
proporcionar un paso o abertura para un fluido corporal tal como la
sangre. Además, los conductos no llevan necesariamente endoprótesis
o están revestidos con un dispositivo sino que pueden comprender
meros túneles o aberturas en los tejidos del paciente.
Los conductos de la presente invención
preferiblemente comprenden tanto conductos integrales o de una pieza
como secciones plurales unidas entre sí para formar un conducto
continuo. Los presentes conductos se pueden desplegar en una
variedad de procedimientos coherentes con la práctica médica
aconsejada que incluye administraciones vasculares o quirúrgicas,
incluidas técnicas mínimamente invasivas. Por ejemplo, se describen
diferentes realizaciones de varillas de administración y
procedimientos asociados. En una realización, la varilla de
administración es sólida y de tipo trócar. Puede ser rígida o
semirrígida y capaz de penetrar los tejidos del paciente y así
formar el conducto, por completo o en parte, con el propósito de la
comunicación de fluidos. En otras realizaciones, las varillas de
administración pueden ser huecas para formar así los conductos (p.
ej., los conductos preferiblemente se autoimplantan o autoinsertan)
o tienen un conducto montado en las mismas (p. ej, la varilla de
administración preferiblemente se extrae dejando el conducto
instalado). Por lo tanto, el dispositivo del conducto y el
procedimiento de instalación están determinados por las indicaciones
adecuadas del paciente de acuerdo con las prácticas médicas
coherentes.
Con el fin de restaurar el flujo de sangre
oxigenada por la arteria coronaria, la disposición preferida
proporciona la conexión de sangre directamente desde el corazón a
un sitio en la arteria coronaria distal respecto al bloqueo o
estenosis.
Aunque la presente memoria descriptiva
describirá el conducto principalmente con referencia al ventrículo
izquierdo, la disposición preferida se puede usar con cualquiera de
las cuatro cámaras del corazón y con cualquier arteria coronaria,
incluyendo la arteria coronaria principal izquierda, la arteria
coronaria derecha, la arteria descendente anterior izquierda, la
arteria circunfleja izquierda, la arteria descendente posterior, la
rama marginal obtusa o una rama diagonal.
Se forma un túnel o abertura a través de la
pared de la arteria coronaria y el miocardio y al ventrículo
izquierdo del corazón que se encuentra por debajo o inferior a la
arteria coronaria. Se coloca un conducto en la abertura para
mantenerla abierta.
El conducto se puede introducir en el miocardio
en una variedad de formas, incluyendo por un catéter ensartado por
la arteria femoral en la aorta y de allí al ventrículo izquierdo, y
si es necesario, el atrio izquierdo; o por un catéter ensartado por
la vena femoral a la vena cava inferior y de allí al atrio derecho y
el ventrículo derecho. Alternativamente, el conducto se puede
introducir por una incisión quirúrgica en la pared del pecho
(toracotomía) o esternón (esternotomía).
Se describen más detalles relacionados con los
conductos y los sistemas de administración de conductos en las
patentes de EE.UU. nº 5.429.144 y 5.662.124.
La abertura por la pared del corazón (que
incluye el endocardio, miocardio y epicardio) y la arteria coronaria
se puede realizar en una variedad de formas, que incluyen el
bisturí o escalpelo, electrocauterización, crioablación, ablación
por radiofrecuencia, ablación por ultrasonidos, y similares. Otros
procedimientos serán evidentes para los expertos en la materia.
El conducto está provisto de una sección de vena
o de otro vaso sanguíneo colocado en su lúmen interior. La sección
de vena o de otro vaso sanguíneo se obtiene del paciente, de un
donante o de un animal. Antes de la implantación del conducto, se
inserta en el conducto un segmento de vaso sanguíneo del tamaño para
que encaje en el lúmen del conducto. El conducto con el injerto en
el mismo proporciona un paso para el flujo de sangre que es similar
al de los vasos sanguíneos naturales. El segmento de vena u otro
vaso sanguíneo tomado para que encaje dentro del conducto incluye
una o más de las válvulas naturales que se encuentran en el cuerpo
humano. Estas válvulas actúan para prevenir el reflujo de la sangre.
En el conducto, estas válvulas venosas naturales previenen que la
sangre refluya al ventrículo izquierdo del corazón desde la arteria
coronaria. El segmento de vena se inserta en el conducto antes del
despliegue del conducto en el cuerpo humano por cualquiera de las
diferentes técnicas quirúrgicas o guiadas por catéter que conocen
los expertos en la materia.
Ahora en relación con las figuras 1A y 1B, se
lleva a cabo una derivación de la arteria coronaria disponiendo un
conducto 12 (figura 1B) en una pared del corazón o miocardio MIO del
corazón CP de un paciente (figura 1A). El conducto 12
preferiblemente se extiende desde el ventrículo izquierdo VI del
corazón CP a una arteria coronaria AC obstruida en un punto
corriente abajo de un bloqueo BL, para crear un paso 8 por el mismo.
El conducto 12 preferiblemente está hecho de un material
biocompatible tal como acero inoxidable o nitinol, aunque también
se pueden usar otros materiales tales como Ti, aleaciones de Ti,
aleaciones de Ni, aleaciones de Co y polímeros biocompatibles. En
una realización, el conducto 12 tiene una válvula unidireccional 6
para permitir que la sangre fluya desde el ventrículo izquierdo VI
a la arteria coronaria AC. Aunque el conducto 12 se puede deformar
elásticamente por la presión de contracción del músculo cardiaco
durante la sístole, la endoprótesis permanece abierta para permitir
que la sangre pase del ventrículo izquierdo VI del paciente a la
arteria coronaria AC. Durante la diástole, la sangre bombeada a la
arteria coronaria por el paso 8 es bloqueada por la válvula
unidireccional 6 para el retorno al ventrículo izquierdo VI.
Como se muestra en la figura 2, una realización
preferida implica el uso de un injerto de vena 10 tomado del
paciente. Antes de preparar el conducto 12 para colocarlo en el
paciente, se obtiene una sección de vena 10 del paciente (es decir,
un injerto autólogo o autoinjerto). Por supuesto, también se podría
usar un vaso sanguíneo tomado de otro donante humano (es decir, un
injerto alógeno o aloinjerto) o de especies animales no humanas (es
decir, un injerto heterólogo o xenoinjerto). Preferiblemente, la
vena 10 se toma de la vena safena de la pierna del paciente.
Alternativamente, se podría usar una vena de donante, o se puede
obtener un cerdo fetal o lechón y diseccionarlo para sacar una
sección de la arteria pulmonar que tiene una válvula pulmonar en la
misma, o una sección de la aorta que tiene una válvula aórtica en la
misma, o un vaso similar que tenga un sistema de válvula natural.
En otras realizaciones, se puede hacer crecer el revestimiento
endotelial de una vena y/o una válvula de uno o más cultivos
tisulares, usando la clonación de líneas celulares de donante u
otras técnicas de ingeniería genética (o "ingeniería de
tejidos") conocidas para los expertos en la materia. Por lo
tanto, tal como se usa en el presente documento, "una sección de
vaso sanguíneo" puede incluir uno o más de los siguientes: un
segmento de un vaso sanguíneo resecado quirúrgicamente, con una o
más válvulas; el revestimiento endotelial de un vaso sanguíneo
tomado de una muestra in vitro o in vivo; y una o más
válvulas venosas tomadas de muestras in vitro o in
vivo.
Como se ha indicado antes, la sección de vena 10
u otro vaso sanguíneo recogido preferiblemente contiene una o más
válvulas 14 que se encuentran de forma natural en las venas. La
sección de vena 10 es de un tamaño que sea de la misma longitud que
el conducto 12. La sección de vena 10 se pone en el interior del
lúmen del conducto 12 y se une al interior del conducto 12 mediante
sutura u otros procedimientos de unión. El injerto de vena natural
10 es biocompatible y por lo tanto reduce los problemas asociados
con el rechazo del conducto 12 y la coagulación alrededor o en el
conducto 12. Además, la vena 10 proporciona un sistema de válvula
natural 14 que ya es usado por el cuerpo humano para prevenir el
reflujo de la sangre. En el caso de un xenoinjerto, se puede llevar
a cabo el tratamiento del injerto con productos químicos, tales como
glutaraldehído, para eliminar las células vivas, incluyendo los
materiales antigénicos, del marco de trabajo del tejido conjuntivo,
para así reducir la trombogenicidad y antigenicidad.
Ahora en relación con la figura 3, se introduce
un conducto 12 autoexpansible que tiene una sección de vena 10 en
el mismo, en la pared del miocardio MIO como sigue. Un catéter de
aplicación del conducto (no se muestra), que tiene el conducto 12
comprimido montado en su extremo distal se hace avanzar por un
mecanismo de punción a la pared del miocardio MIO en un sitio
distal del bloqueo o estenosis BL en la arteria coronaria AC. Cuando
el conducto 12 se ha asentado adecuadamente en la pared del
miocardio MIO, se extrae su vaina de retención, permitiendo que el
conducto 12 se expanda y abra un paso, o mantenga la abertura del
paso, desde el ventrículo izquierdo del corazón VI a la arteria
coronaria AC. Esto permite que la sangre oxigenada fluya
directamente desde el ventrículo izquierdo del corazón VI por el
conducto 12 y a la arteria coronaria AC, bordeando la sección de
arteria coronaria AC que está bloqueada BL, como se muestra por las
flechas en la figura 3.
El conducto 12 puede incluir mecanismos de unión
no limitados a corchetes, ganchos, collares grandes y/u otros
procedimientos para asegurar que se crea un cierre entre la arteria
coronaria AC y la pared de la pared del corazón MIO, para prevenir
la hemorragia y prevenir la amenaza de o la propia migración del
conducto. Cuando se ha completado la colocación y aseguramiento del
conducto 12, el conjunto del catéter que queda se saca, dejando el
conducto 12 con el injerto de vena en el mismo, en su sitio del
cuerpo.
El presente conducto vascular que tiene un
injerto de vaso sanguíneo incorporado en el mismo proporciona
mejoras significativas en el presente tratamiento de los bloqueos o
estenosis en la arteria coronaria. Aunque la invención se ha
descrito en sus realizaciones preferidas en relación con las figuras
particulares, no se pretende que esta descripción esté limitada de
ninguna forma por lo que antecede.
