    摘要: A deployment system (10) for an endoluminal device. The deployment system (10) includes a confining sheath (12) placed around a compacted endoluminal device (14, 15). A deployment line (16) is provided in the system that is an integral extension of the sheath (12). As the deployment line (16) is actuated, the sheath (12) retracts from around the compacted endolurninal device (14, 15). As the sheath (12) retracts from around the endoluminal device (14, 15), material from the sheath may be converted into deployment line (16). Once the sheath (12) is retracted from around the compacted endoluminal device (14, 15), the endoluminal device (14, 15) expands in configuration and repairs vascular or cardiac structures of an implant recipient. Any remaining sheath material (12) is removed from the implantation site along with the deployment line (16). The deployment system (10) also includes an endo-prosthesis mounting member (18) placed between the endoluminal device and an underlying catheter (19). The endo-prosthesis mounting member (18) serves to cushion and retain the endoluminal device (14, 15) when constrained by the sheath (12) and may assist in expansion of the endoluminal device (14, 15) when unconstrained by the sheath (12).

    摘要: A catheter provided with an adjustable length guidewire catheter lumen, located proximal of a therapeutic device or agent positioned at the distal end of the catheter. The length of the adjustable length guidewire catheter lumen is controlled by the physician, allowing the benefits of both over-the-wire and rapid exchange systems to be provided in one catheter. The adjustable length is provided with a thin-walled tube that corrugates under axial compression. The tube may optionally be pre-corrugated or may be allowed to corrugate non-uniformly under the axial compression. The catheter length may change by, for example, over 100 % of its original length between full axial compression and full axial extension.

    摘要: An endoprosthesis expansion system having, in combination, a delivery component such as a length of catheter tubing having at its distal end an intermediate sheath component, and an inner tube within the full length of the delivery catheter and intermediate sheath component. The inner tube has a protrusion affixed to its distal end, and an expandable endoprosthesis is fitted in a compacted state about the intermediate sheath, immediately proximal to the protrusion. If the endoprosthesis is a self-expanding endoprosthesis (as is preferred), an exterior constraining sheath is required around the outer surface of the endoprosthesis. Following insertion of the endoprosthesis and delivery system into a body conduit (such as a blood vessel) and transport of the endoprosthesis to the desired site within the body conduit, the endoprosthesis is deployed by axially moving the protrusion against the system, thereby applying a radially directed outward force and causing simultaneous dilatation of the intermediate sheath and disruption of the exterior constraining sheath. Disruption of the exterior constraining sheath, in the case of a self-expanding prosthesis, releases the stored energy in the formerly constrained prosthesis, allowing it to expand and accomplish full deployment against the luminal surface of the body conduit at the desired site.

    摘要: A constraining sheath for use around an endoprosthesis (e.g., a stent device, with or without a graft covering), which may be a balloon expandable endoprosthesis but more preferably is a self-expanding prosthesis. The endoprosthesis is coaxially enclosed within the constraining sheath, which is an outer, disruptable, preferably implantable tubular sheath, preferably made of ePTFE. The constraining sheath and endoprosthesis are preferably mounted together as an assembly on an angioplasty balloon for delivery. Deployment of the endoprosthesis entails inflating the angioplasty balloon to a pressure sufficient to disrupt or break the constraining sheath in a prescribed fashion, thereby allowing a self-expanding endoprosthesis to spontaneously deploy. The constraining sheath of ePTFE may be attached to the endoprothesis and implanted along with the device, or alternatively attached to the balloon catheter shaft and removed with the balloon catheter. The angioplasty balloon's working length is preferably shorter than the length of the endoprosthesis. A endoprosthesis assembly incorporating a constraining sheath according to one embodiment of the invention is also provided with an additional packaging sheath.
