    摘要: A method for predetermining the controlled and uniform discharge rate of a fluid from a single lumen tubular body having passageways radially extending through the wall of the tubular body has been developed and is described. The method involves predetermining such parameters as the transverse cross-sectional areas of the passageways extending through the wall of the tubular body, the spacing of the passageways, the pressure at each of the passageways, and the rate of flow at each of the passageways. One specific preferred application of such a tubular body is an infusion catheter for delivering various fluids to designated areas of the body for either a therapeutic treatment and/or diagnostic purposes. For example, such a catheter may be adapted to deliver controlled and uniform quantities of thrombolytic agents, chemotherapeutic agents as well as such diagnostic agents as fluorescent dies and radioactive agents.

    摘要: A method and device (10) for providing an ostomy (102) through the wall (100) of the trachea. The method employs a balloon catheter (16) including an inflatable balloon (18), and entails percutaneously inserting the tip (56) of a wire guide (54) through the tracheal wall (100) so that the wire guide (54) lies across the tracheal wall (100); positioning the catheter (16) over the wire guide (54); advancing the catheter (16) along the wire guide (54) until the balloon (18) lies across the tracheal wall (100); and inflating the balloon (18) to atraumatically dilate a portion of the tracheal wall (100), thereby forming an ostomy (102). The method desirably includes the further steps of deflating the balloon (18) and inserting a tracheal tube (20) into the ostomy (102). The tracheal tube (20) can be positioned in the open ostomy (102) after removing the balloon (18) from the ostomy (102). However, the method is preferably carried out employing a device (10) having a dilator tube (12) which carries the catheter (16) and tracheal tube (20) on it. Such a construction allows the dilator tube (12), the balloon catheter (16) and the tracheal tube (20) to be advanced on the wire guide (54) together. The tracheal tube (20) can include an inflatable circumferential cuff (24) on it, providing a seal between the tracheal tube (20) and the tracheal wall (100). The diameter of the balloon (18) preferably is at least equal to, and more preferably is slightly greater than, the maximum diameter of any portion of the tracheal tube (20) (such as the uninflated cuff (24)) to be inserted into the ostomy (102). The method and device (10) of the present invention are particularly advantageous in that the ostomy (102) can be formed atraumatically and enlarged without risk of perforating the rear of the trachea, and in that the close dilation or slight overdilation of the ostomy (102), along with the taper of the distal end (14) of the dilator tube (12), protect the cuff (24) from damage during insertion of the tracheal tube (20) through the ostomy (102).

    摘要: A percutaneous release mechanism (57) for use with an intravascular treatment device (11) in an intravascular treatment system (10). The release mechanism includes an inner member (17) having a connection mechanism (18) positioned about the distal end (14) thereof for interconnection with another connection mechanism (12) positioned on an intravascular treatment device. The release mechanism also includes an outer member tube (13) of which the inner member is positioned therein. The first and second connection mechanisms are interconnectable and positionable in the passage (16) of the tube for delivering the treatment device in a delivery state to the treatment site. The release mechanism also includes a handle (37) having parts (38, 39) connected to the inner member and outer tube, whereby movement of the proximal end of the inner member is translated to the distal end thereof for extending the interconnected connection mechanisms from the passage of the outer member tube and positioning the treatment device in a treatment state. The intravascular treatment system includes the percutaneous release mechanism along with the intravascular treatment device. The treatment device includes an occlusion coil (23) and a rigid tube (36) connected to the flexible outer member tube (35) for maintaining the delivery coil in a delivery state. In another example, the treatment device includes a blood clot filter (40) in which the percutaneous delivery mechanism is adapted for connection thereto.

    摘要: A prosthetic device for sustaining a vessel or hollow organ lumen (a stent) has a tubular wire frame (1) with rows of elongate cells (2) having a larger axis and a smaller axis. The cells are arranged with the larger axis in the circumferential direction of the frame (2) and the smaller axis parallel to the axial direction thereof. Each cell is formed by two U-shaped wire sections, and in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis one of the branches of the U-shaped wire sections in one row form together a closed ring shape (4) which provides the frame (1) with large radial stiffness. In the axial direction the frame (1) has only low stiffness so that it easily conforms to the vascular wall even if this deforms due to external loads. The interconnection between the cells (2) may be flexible.

    摘要: A flexible stent (10) having a waveform pattern (13) formed from a sheet (11) of biocompatible material (39) and into a tubular shape (12) for maintaining the patency of a lumen such as in a coronary vessel. The waveform pattern of the stent is formed from a flat sheet of malleable, biocompatible material by, for example, photochemically etching the sheet and leaving a framework (44) or plurality of closed cells (17-19). The waveform pattern is formed into a tubular shape around a deflated, delivery catheter balloon (35) with segments (24, 25) of the closed cells being interposed only overlapping a reinforcing member (14) extending longitudinally along the stent. The stent material is treated to reduce the coefficient of friction of the material and to aid in the radial expansion of the stent with the balloon. Radiopaque markers (41, 42) are positioned at the ends (15, 16) of the stent to aid the physician in positioning the stent at an occlusion site.

    摘要: A flexible plastic material catheter having a distal tubular member portion with a greater than 75 weight percent loading of a radiopaque agent for radiographic viewing. The catheter comprises an elongated member having a proximal portion and a distal end portion with a flexible, radiopaque plastic material having a durometer lower than that of the proximal portion. The plastic material of the distal end portion comprises a homogeneous and evenly dispersed composition of a 20 weight percent base thermoplastic, elastomer material such as a polyether block amide and 80 weight percent loading of a radiopaque agent such as tungsten. This distal end portion plastic material exhibits a durometer of approximately 47 on the Shore D scale, whereas the polyether block amide material exhibits a durometer of approximately 40 on the Shore D scale. The flex modulus of the polyether block amide material is in range of 23,000 to 75,000 pounds per square inch. The proximal end portion comprises a base thermoplastic material such as a polyamide elastomer material and a radiopaque agent of bismuth oxychloride.
