Definitions
- the present invention relates to the treatment of vascular disease by either percutaneous angioplasty and stenting or surgery. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system that reduces macro- and micro-embolization during the treatment of vascular disease.
- Balloon angioplasty utilizes a balloon-tipped catheter which may be inserted within a stenosed region of the blood vessel. By inflation of the balloon, the stenosed region is dilated. Stenting involves the permanent implantation of a metallic scaffold in the area of the obstruction, following balloon dilatation. The stent is often delivered on an angioplasty balloon, and is deployed when the balloon is inflated. Another alternative is the local delivery of medication via an infusion catheter. Other techniques, such as atherectomy, have also been proposed. In atherectomy, a rotating blade is used to shave plaque from an arterial wall. Finally, other techniques such as tissue ablation are sometimes performed to address electrical anomalies in heart rhythm. Surgery involves either removing the plaque from the artery or attaching a graft to the artery so as to bypass the obstructing plaque.
- emboli which can lodge elsewhere in the vascular system.
- emboli may be dangerous to the patient, and may cause severe impairment of the distal circulatory bed. Depending upon the vessel being treated, this may result in a stroke or myocardial infarction or limb ischemia.
- Vascular filters or embolism traps for implantation into the vena cava of a patient are well known, being illustrated by, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,727,873 and 4,688,533. Additionally, there is a substantial amount of medical literature describing various designs of vascular filters and reporting the results of the clinical and experimented use thereof. See, for example, the article by Eichelter & Schenk entitled “Prophylaxis of Pulmonary Embolism,” Archives of Surgery, Vol. 97, August 1968, pp. 348 et seq. See, also, the article by Greenfiled, et al., entitled “A New Intracaval Filter Permitting Continued Flow and Resolution of Emboli”, Surgery, Vol. 73, No. 4, pp. 599-606 (1973).
- Vascular filters are used, often during a postoperative period, when there is a perceived risk of a patient encountering a pulmonary embolus resulting from clots generated at the surgical site.
- the filter is mounted in the vena cava to catch large emboli passing from the surgical site to the lungs.
- vascular filters of the prior art are usually permanently implanted in the venous system of the patient, so that even after the need for the filter has abated, the filter remains in place for the lifetime of the patient, absent surgical removal.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,952,747 describes a stainless steel filtering device which is permanently implanted transvenously within the inferior vena cava. The filtering device is intended to treat recurrent pulmonary embolism.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,873,978 describes a catheter device comprising a catheter body having a strainer mounted at its distal end.
- the strainer is shiftable between an opened configuration where it extends substantially across the blood vessel to entrap passing emboli, and a closed configuration where it retains the captured emboli during removal of the catheter.
- a mechanism actuable at the proximate end of the catheter body allows selective opening and closing of the strainer.
- the strainer is a collapsible cone having an apex attached to a wire running from the distal end to the proximate end of the catheter body.
- Permanent implantation may be deemed medially undesirable, but it has been done because vascular filters are implanted in patients primarily in response to potentially life threatening situations. Accordingly, the potential disadvantages of permanent implantations of a vascular filter are often accepted.
- the present invention provides a vascular filter system useful in the surgical or interventional treatment of vascular disease.
- Macro- and micro-embolization may occur during percutaneous procedures such as angioplasty, which increases the risk of a minor or major stroke.
- the system of the present invention for reducing macro- and micro-embolization is very useful in helping to prevent the risk of stroke.
- this system would also be useful in any percutaneous angioplasty, stenting, thrombolysis or tissue ablation procedure, or surgical procedure where embolization is a risk.
- the vascular filter system of the present invention may decrease embolism while allowing brain, or other distal tissue, perfusion.
- the filters may be incorporated into a guidewire which is used for the entire procedure from crossing a lesion to deploying a stent.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide a vascular filter system for reducing macro- and micro-embolization. Another objective of the present invention is to provide a vascular filter system which is readily removable from the vascular system, or elsewhere, of a patient when the filter is no longer needed. It is a further objective of the present invention to provide a vascular filter system having a configuration which does not require hooks to penetrate and grip the blood vessel walls, so that the implantation results in less blood vessel injury. It is yet a further objective of the present invention to provide a vascular filter system of very low profile which is part of a guidewire and may be used in small vessels. It is yet a further objective of the invention to provide a vascular filter system for angioplasty, stenting, thrombolysis and/or electrophysiologic or other ablative procedures.
- the filter comprises a thin membrane attached to the guidewire and supported by fine metal spines. Attachment of the filter membrane to the guidewire allows expansion of the filter membrane with a firm fit inside the artery. The attachment also allows for collapse of the filter membrane at the end of the procedure so it fits tightly against the guidewire and can be withdrawn through the guide catheter.
- the filter membrane rests upon or is attached to a basket-like structure, at least one end of which is attached to the guidewire.
- the filter membrane has a pore size such that blood flow is not impeded when the filter membrane is expanded but micro- and macro-emboli are blocked. Expansion of the filter membrane is aided by the forward flow of blood against the filter.
- the filter design results in a very low profile so that the initial crossing of the lesion is minimally traumatic. Also, the small diameter and small profile facilitate use of the device in small or larger arteries with minimal or no obstruction of blood flow.
- a dilatation balloon delivery system incorporating a vascular filter may be useful to capture thrombus or emboli generated during a cardiovascular procedure.
- the dilatation balloon delivery system comprises a balloon catheter having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end comprising a hub having ports.
- the distal end comprises an inflatable balloon having a distal end, where a guidewire lumen extends from the distal end of the balloon to one of the ports in the hub.
- the guidewire also extends distally to a vascular filter system.
- a sheath is arranged concentric to the balloon catheter, where the distal end of the sheath covers the inflatable balloon and the guidewire filter.
- the sheath proximal end extends to a point distal to the hub.
- a stent delivery system incorporating a vascular filter may be useful to capture thrombus or emboli generated during a cardiovascular procedure.
- the stent delivery system comprises a balloon catheter having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end comprising a hub having ports.
- the distal end comprises an inflatable balloon having a distal end, where a guidewire lumen extends from the distal end of the balloon to one of the ports in the hub.
- the guidewire lumen also extends proximally to a vascular filter system.
- An expandable stent is positioned annularly around the balloon.
- a sheath is arranged concentric to the balloon catheter, where the distal end of the sheath covers the inflatable balloon, the stent, and the guidewire filter.
- the sheath proximal end extends to a point distal to the hub.
- the vascular filter is attached to a guidewire having an infusion catheter with infusion holes for controlled delivery and distribution of medication to the area of surgical intervention.
- the sheath over the guidewire may control the area of distribution of the medication by controlling the number of the revealed infusion holes in the infusion catheter.
- a locking mechanism on the proximal end of the apparatus may assure that the sheath does not reveal a larger than necessary area of the angioplasty, i.e., thrombus, to be exposed to the infusion holes.
- a vascular filter system may be used to capture thrombus or emboli generated during electrophysiology or another ablative procedure.
- a guidewire-based collapsible filter basket can be advanced through the femoral artery to a position adjacent the left ventricle. The basket faces the ventricle, and then the basket is collapsed and withdrawn proximally.
- a guiding catheter has a distally-extending filter membrane that may be collapsed, for example, by sliding an outer sheath distally.
- An advantage of the present invention is that it provides the benefits of filtration and capture of embolic particulates, temporarily, during a variety of clinical procedures.

- the present invention relates to a vascular filter system for use in percutaneous angioplasty and stenting and provides for the prevention of distal embolism during endovascular procedures. Further, the filter system of the present invention allows for distal perfusion while preventing embolization.
- the system comprises a thin, perforated filter membrane which is capable of blocking emboli and which is attached to the distal end of a guidewire.
- a thin, flexible, perforated membrane is supported by four or more supports that form a distally extending basket. At least one end of the basket is attached to the guidewire, and the other, slidable end may be moved to cause the membrane to open or close.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a lateral, cross-sectional view of a distal end of a guidewire 160 with a filter membrane 170 attached thereto.
- FIG. 1 shows guidewire 160 with a shapeable soft “floppy” tip 162 at its extreme distal end which provides flexibility and maneuverability to guidewire 160 .

- the vertical row separation of holes 190 may be from about 1.2 to 1.4 times the hole diameter and the center-to-center diameter of holes 190 may be from about 1.4 to 1.6 times the hole diameter, or in an exemplary embodiment the vertical and horizontal spacing of the holes is such that the center-to-center spacing of the holes is from about 1.2 to 2.0 times the hole diameter.
- the open area of the holes represents from about ten to fifty percent, more preferably from about ten to forty percent of the filter surface.
- the hole size may be variable.
- the mesh should have pores of a size sufficient to block and capture any micro- and macro-emboli which may flow downstream from the site where the stenosis is being treated, but large enough such that blood flow is not impeded.

- deployment sheath 362 is advanced through a patient's vascular system to a desired location. During this stage of the procedure balloon 370 is collapsed, and vascular filter 382 is somewhat compressed. After balloon 370 is in position, deployment sheath 362 is pulled in the proximal direction, and then balloon 370 is expanded to dilate a vessel. Vascular filter 382 expands as grommet 388 slides in the proximal direction.
- sheath 362 may be advanced distally to collapse vascular filter 382 .
- vascular filter 382 may be withdrawn together in the proximal direction.

- any emboli or thrombus produced will be captured in filter membrane 368 .
- sheath 388 and filter basket 370 are moved relative to one another so that the distal section 390 of sheath 388 causes filter basket 370 to collapse, whereupon filter basket 370 and captured material are withdrawn with the sheath.
- FIG. 9 In another exemplary embodiment of the vascular filter system, the apparatus of FIG. 9 could be modified, as shown in FIG. 15.
- a basket 400 comprised of from four to eight strut wires 402 is secured by a proximal fixed grommet 404 and a distal slidable grommet 406 .
