Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to vascular occlusion catheters and, more particularly, to vascular occlusion catheters capable of performing both partial and full vascular occlusion.
  • Vascular occlusion may be indicated in either the venous system and/or the arterial system.
  • Endoarterial occlusion such as, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (“REBOA”), is a procedure in which a blood vessel is at least partially occluded in order to restrict blood flow upstream or downstream of the occlusion site for purposes of a vascular procedure or repair. Partial occlusion of the aorta is beneficial to mitigate the risk of ischemia below the site of the occlusion to limit or eliminate lack of blood flow to organs and tissue below the occlusion location.
  • REBOA resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta
  • partial perfusion past the occlusion balloon can provide the benefits of focusing or directing a majority of blood flow to the brain, heart and lungs or other upstream portions of the patient, but also potentially increasing the amount of time the occlusion balloon can be implanted in the patient, by providing at least partial blood flow to the patient’s organs downstream of the occlusion member, such as to the patient’s liver, digestive tract, kidneys and legs.
  • the system includes a single-use occlusion catheter and a remote and reusable electronic module.
  • the catheter includes a proximal catheter shaft, a distal catheter shaft and an occlusion balloon interposed between the proximal and distal catheter shafts.

  • a distal neck portion 12b of the first occlusion balloon 12 may be sealingly mounted (in a manner understood, e.g., bonding, welding, a combination thereof or the like) to the intermediate catheter shaft 18.
  • a proximal neck portion 14a of the second occlusion balloon 14 may be sealingly mounted to the intermediate catheter shaft 18, and a distal neck portion 14b of the second occlusion balloon 14 may be sealingly mounted to the distal catheter shaft 20.
  • the distal catheter shaft 20 distally terminates in an atraumatic tip or a P-tip 22.
  • the proximal, intermediate and distal catheter shafts 16, 18, 20 may be constructed of medical grade, biocompatible polymers, such as, for example, without limitation, silicone, nylon, polyurethane, PETE, latex, thermoplastic elastomers, poly ether block amides (e.g., PEBAX, Arkema, Paris, France), a combination thereof, or the like.
  • one, some or all of the occlusion balloons 12, 14 may take the form of compliant balloon(s).
  • a compliant balloon may have growth of approximately greater than twenty percent (20%+) within the working range (balloon pressure) when inflated, reaching up to approximately one hundred to three hundred percent (100-300%) within the working range when inflated.
  • a non-compliant or substantially non-compliant balloon generally has growth of approximately two to seven percent (2-7%) within the working range (balloon pressure) when inflated.
  • a semi-compliant balloon has growth of approximately seven to twenty percent (7-20%) within the working range (balloon pressure) when inflated.
  • the proximal catheter shaft 16 and the hypotube 24 may be secured at the respective proximal ends thereof to a proximal hub (not shown), e.g., to an internal frame thereof, such as, for example, as described in International Patent Application Publication No. WO 2022/197895 (“the ‘895 publication”), the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
  • the hypotube 24 forms the structural backbone/chassis of the catheter 10.
  • the hypotube 24 forms the primary load-bearing framework of the catheter 10, advantageously eliminating the necessity for a separate guidewire to provide such load bearing stability.
  • the hypotube 24 may be constructed of a metal, a metal alloy, a polymer, a combination thereof, e.g., composite braided shafts, or the like.
  • Non-limiting examples of the hypotube 24 material include stainless steel, nitinol, plastic reinforced with fiberglass, Kevlar® owned by E.I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company, and/or nylon.
  • the hypotube 24 forms the most elastic shaftcomponent of the occlusion catheter 10, such that the hypotube 24 substantially returns to its initial configuration after a load is applied thereon and subsequently withdrawn.
  • the hypotube 24 may be constructed of a super-elastic material (e.g., such as nitinol).
  • the proximal catheter shaft 16 includes an internal proximal shaft lumen 16a extending therethrough, in fluid communication with the inflation hub (not shown) on a proximal side thereof.
  • the proximal shaft lumen 16a is in fluid communication with the first occlusion balloon 12 on a distal side of the lumen.
  • the proximal shaft lumen 16a may optionally bifurcate into multiple, e.g. two or more, lumens 16a at the distal end thereof, but the disclosure is not so limited, i.e., the proximal shaft lumen 16a may not bifurcate.
  • the proximal shaft lumen 16a operates as an inflation lumen for the first balloon 12. In the configuration of Fig.
  • the first balloon 12 and the second balloon 14 are fluidly connected via at least one intermediate lumen 18a extending through the intermediate catheter shaft 18, i.e., fluidly connected with the first balloon 12 at a proximal end thereof and fluidly connected with the second balloon 14 at a distal end thereof.
  • the proximal shaft lumen 16a is in fluid communication with both the first and second balloons 12, 14, thereby operating as the inflation lumen for both balloons 12, 14.
  • the first and second occlusion balloons 12, 14 are not in fluid communication with one another, i.e. fluidly disconnected. Rather, an auxiliary inflation shaft 19, also in fluid communication with the inflation hub (not shown) on a proximal side thereof, may extend through the proximal catheter shaft 16 and the first occlusion balloon 12 and into fluid communication with the at least one intermediate lumen 18a, thereby fluidly communicating with the second balloon 14. Accordingly, the first and second balloons 12, 14 are independently inflatable, the proximal shaft lumen 16a operating as the inflation lumen for the first balloon 12 and the auxiliary inflation shaft 19 operating as the inflation lumen for the second balloon 14.
  • the balloons 12, 14 in the configuration of Fig. 3 may also be independently inflated.
  • a tubular inflation member (not shown) may be reciprocally movable through the proximal shaft lumen 16a and into selective communication with and/or through the intermediate lumen 18a.
  • the tubular inflation member may include side port(s) or openings for advancement and withdrawal of inflation medium therethrough, thereby permitting fluid flow independently or concurrently into each of the plurality ofballoons 12, 14.
  • the plurality of balloons 12, 14 enable partial or intermittent occlusion of a target blood vessel 1, e.g., the aorta, by permitting periodic bolus volumes of blood to flow downstream past the balloons 12, 14.
  • a target blood vessel e.g., the aorta
  • inflation media is advanced into the balloons 12, 14, whereby the upstream blood pressure see Fig. 5A: Region 1) causes the first (or proximal) balloon 12 to inflate faster than the second (or distal) balloon 14. Accordingly, as shown in Fig.
  • the first balloon 12 may initially be inflated into substantially full apposition with the blood vessel 1, e.g., fully inflated, while the second balloon 14 is initially only partially inflated, i.e., not in full apposition with the blood vessel 1. Accordingly, blood may flow downstream beyond the second balloon 14 from region 1 into region 2, i.e., the region between the first and second balloons 12, 14. As the blood pressure in region 2 exceeds the internal balloon pressure of the first balloon 12, some inflation media transfers from the first balloon 12 to the second balloon 14 (with an inflation valve of the catheter 10 in a closed state), autonomously deflating the first balloon 12 out of apposition with the blood vessel 1 and inflating the second balloon 14 into substantially full apposition with the blood vessel 1 (Fig.
  • the proximal shaft lumen(s) 16a and the intermediate lumen(s) 18a may define differing lumen sizes.
