Definitions
- This specification relates to the field of vascular treatment.
- Sclerotherapy can be used to treat blood vessels, blood vessel malformations, and similar problems in other body systems, such as the lymphatic system, and has been used in various forms for over 150 years. In its more modern form, sclerotherapy has been used since the 1960's, in Europe, for treating various vein conditions such as; varicose veins, reticular veins, spider veins of the leg, and also some fine facial veins.
- Sclerotherapy can be used to treat these conditions by instigating vascular fibrosis and obliteration in response to irreversible endothelial cellular destruction and exposure of the underlying subendothelial cell layer.
- This destruction is usually caused by the injection of a sclerosant into the vein.
- the injected sclerosant is too weak, there may be no endothelial injury at all.
- the sclerosant is a little stronger, the varicose vessel is damaged, but recanalization occurs and an incompetent pathway for retrograde blood flow persists.
- the varicose vessel endothelium is destroyed, but adjacent vessels that are not targeted for treatment may also be damaged by the sclerosant.
- a vascular treatment apparatus comprises an elongated intraluminal member shaped and dimensioned for passage through blood vessels of a subject.
- the intraluminal member may include a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end comprises a vein wall disruptor.
- the vein wall disrupter may be configured to scrape tissue off of the inner wall of a blood vessel, and retain that tissue on the disruptor during use.
- a vascular treatment apparatus comprises an elongated intraluminal member shaped and dimensioned for passage through blood vessels of a subject, the intraluminal member including a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end comprises a vein wall disruptor.
- the vein wall disrupter is configured to scrape tissue off of the inner wall of a blood vessel, and comprises structures therein forming tissue storing regions.
- the structures may be cavities or through holes.
- these apparatus may comprise a source of sclerosant and a fluid channel between the source of sclerosant and the distal end of the elongated intraluminal member.
- a vascular treatment method comprises advancing an elongated intraluminal member from an access site and into the vein, damaging the inner vessel wall by performing a defined movement of the portion of the intraluminal member against the vein's endothelium.
- the damaging comprises removing endothelium tissue from the inner vessel wall and retaining endothelium tissue on the portion of the intraluminal member while performing the defined movement.
- a method for permanently occluding a vein through the combined disruption of a vein vessel wall and application of a sclerosant comprises advancing an elongated intraluminal member from an access site and into the vein, wherein the intraluminal member has a portion thereof configured to produce damage to the inner vessel wall of the vein under user control when performing a defined movement, damaging the inner vessel wall by performing the defined movement of the portion of the intraluminal member against the vein's endothelium, injecting sclerosant into the vein and onto the damaged inner vessel wall, observing sclerosant exiting from the access site, and stopping injection of sclerosant in response to the observing.
- a method for permanently occluding a vein through the combined disruption of a vein vessel wall and application of a sclerosant comprises orienting a subject with at least one extremity below their head, advancing an elongated intraluminal member from an access site and into a vein in the at least one extremity, wherein the intraluminal member has a portion thereof configured to produce damage to the inner vessel wall of the vein under user control when performing a defined movement, re-orienting the subject with the at least one extremity approximately level with or slightly above their head, damaging the inner vessel wall by performing the defined movement of the portion of the intraluminal member against the vein's endothelium, and injecting sclerosant into the vein and onto the damaged inner vessel wall.
- the extremity may be an arm or a leg.

- Figure 1 depicts a perspective view of one embodiment of exemplary components of a vascular treatment device 10. These components can be configured to provide a range of functionalities to the vascular treatment device 10.
- a vascular treatment device 10 can include features configured for stimulating vascular ablation, such as, for example, an intraluminal member 22, a motorized drive system, including, for example, a motor, and/or control features and/or features configured for delivering liquid sclerosant.
- the intraluminal member comprises a wire surrounded by a sheath, and the wire is rotatable within the sheath. The space between the sheath and the wire can be used as a passage to inject sclerosant as the wire rotates, and the distal end of the wire forms a vein wall disruptor.
- the vascular treatment device 10 of Figure 1 is utilized by introducing the intraluminal member into a vein of a subject, where the vein is to be ablated in a treatment for varicose veins for example.
- the distal end of the wire is extended from the distal end of the sheath, and the wire is rotated or otherwise moved to damage the endothelium lining the inside surface of the vein.
- Sclerosant is also injected to the region of damage through the sheath that forms an outer portion of the intraluminal member 22.
- the combination of endothelium damage plus the sclerosant provides a highly effective vascular ablation procedure with a minimum amount of injected sclerosant.
- a vascular treatment device can include a handle 12 and a cartridge 14.
- each of the handle 12 and cartridge 14 can include features configured for stimulating vascular ablation and/or for delivering liquid sclerosant.
- the handle 12 and the cartridge 14 can comprise separate pieces.
- a handle 12 and a cartridge 14 can comprise an integrated component.
- a person of skill in the art will recognize that the present disclosure is not limited to a specific configuration of the handle 12 and cartridge 14 but broadly includes the range of functions and uses of a vascular therapy device.
- the cartridge 14 can be, for example, sized and shaped to engagingly connect to the handle 12. In one embodiment, and as shown in Figure 1, this engaging connection can be achieved by fitting features of the handle 12 to features of the cartridge 14.
- Figure 2 depicts a side cross-section view of the vascular treatment device 10 of Figure 1.
- the vascular treatment device 10 depicted in Figure 2 comprises the same features discussed in relation to Figure 1.
- the cartridge 14 may include a sheath 30 affixed to and extending from the cartridge 14, a wire 32, and a coupling 34.
- the wire 32 can be, for example, fixed to the coupling 34.
- the wire 32 can be affixed to the coupling 34 through a variety of techniques and methods.
- the wire 32 can be affixed to a range of features of a vascular treatment device 10 configured for driving the wire 32.
- the wire 32 (and surrounding sheath) can comprise a variety of lengths.
- a wire 32 can have a length matching the needs of the procedure.
- a wire 32 can have a length, for example, of up to 10 cm, up to 25 cm, up to 75 cm, or up to 150 cm.
- the sheath 30 can be configured to define a lumen through which the wire 32 runs, and can be configured to allow independent motion of the wire within the sheath.
- the sheath 30 can have a variety of inner and outer diameters. In some embodiments, the sheath 30 can have an inner diameter ranging from approximately 0.022 inches to 0.048 inches. In some embodiments, the sheath 30 can have an outer diameter ranging from approximately 0.025 inches to 0.051 inches. In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the sheath 30 can be in the range that is, for example, consistent with the inner diameter of standard needles or vascular sheaths used for used for insertion of vascular catheters.
- the sheath 30 may also include external markings at regular intervals which may guide the user to monitor the insertion or removal speed of the intraluminal member 22.
- a vascular treatment device 10 can be configured for use with injectant.
- the cartridge 14 can be configured for holding an injectant such as sclerosant in a syringe 36 attached to the cartridge 14 at a coupler 28.
- Some embodiments of a vascular treatment device 10 and/or a cartridge 14 configured for use in connection with an injectant can be, for example, configured with valves and connectors to facilitate such use.
- a syringe 36 can, for example, connect to a stopcock 38 on a cartridge 14.
- the stopcock 38 shown in Figure 2 can be configured to allow the removal and/or attachment of a syringe to the vascular treatment device 10 during a procedure.
- a stopcock 38 can be configured to allow reloading of fluid and/or exchanging of containers to, for example, change the injectant or the concentration of the injectant.
- the stopcock 38 can be configured to provide additional functionality, such as, for example, mixing or aerating the injectant.
- the output of the coupler 28 is in fluid communication with the space between the sheath 30 and the wire 32 so that the injectant can be pushed along this space to the distal end of the wire and sheath where the injectant (e.g. sclerosant) exits the sheath when installed in the vein.
- the sheath 30 with the wire 32 inside may be introduced into the vein prior to coupling the cartridge 14 to the handle 12.
- the wire 32 may be fully enclosed by the sheath 30 as shown in Figure 2B.
- the cartridge 14 can be inserted into the handle 12, and the coupler 34 can engage a mating coupler 40 in the handle.
- the coupler 34 in the cartridge which is attached to the wire 32 may be slidable within the cartridge 14, so that when the coupler 34 in the cartridge is forced into engagement with the coupler 40, the distal end of the wire 32 is pushed out of the sheath 30, as shown in Figure 2C. This exposes a portion of the wire 32 that is configured to damage the endothelium on the inner surface of the vein.
- the coupler 40 in the handle 12 is attached to the shaft of a motor 42 in the handle that may rotate the coupler 40, mated coupler 34, and attached wire 32 to scrape and damage the inner wall of the vein.
- sclerosant may be forced down the sheath, to exit the sheath in the region near the distal end of the wire 32, as shown by arrows 46 in Figure 2C.
- Motor rotation may be controlled by a trigger 48 in the handle that depresses and releases a switch 50 to start and stop motor rotation.
- the handle 12 may further include a power source for the motor such as battery 52.
- the tips of the wire 32 can have a variety of configurations. As illustrated in Figures 2B and 2C, the distal end of the wire 32 can have a spherical ball 46 at the tip. During rotation, this ball is the feature that does the most damage to the endothelium on the inner vessel wall. Embodiments of vascular treatment devices such as illustrated in Figures 1 through 2C are further described in U.S. Patents 7,862,575 and 7,967,834 which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
- one embodiment of a wire 32 can have a series of sharp edged protrusions along an extended length of the distal end of the wire 32. This length of extension along which the protrusions are provided may extend more than 1 cm or more than 5 cm from the tip of the wire 32.
- a larger sharp edged protrusion 66 can be provided at the tip of the wire 32.
- a larger sharp edged protrusion can advantageously be provided at one or more bends or corners 68 provided in the distal end of the wire 32. These sharp edges can cut and scrape the endothelium effectively, removing additional tissue. The spaces between the protrusions can retain endothelium tissue during the procedure.
- an extended length of the distal end of the wire 32 (e.g. more than 1 cm or more than 5 cm) is provided with a roughened surface.
- a roughened surface may be formed by subjecting an initially smooth steel to abrasion, machining, blasting, chemical etching such as acid etching (for example, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, and/or sulfuric acid).
- acid etching for example, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, and/or sulfuric acid.
- a roughened outer surface may also be created by rolling onto an irregularly shaped guide to create surface irregularity.
- the wire 32 of Figure 3B also comprises relatively large cavities 70 that can retain endothelium tissue scraped off the inner vessel wall by the roughened surface.
- an extended length of the distal end of the wire 32 (e.g. more than 1 cm or more than 5 cm) is provided with sharp edged protrusions 76, which may be formed as vanes or flanges extending from the sides of the wire 32.
- cavities are provided as through holes 78 that can also retain endothelium tissue removed by the protrusions 76.
- any of the protrusions, cavities, roughened surface, etc. can be combined in a variety of manners on a single wire so that the distal end of the wire 32 is configured to both scrape away and retain endothelium tissue from the inner vessel wall during the procedure.
- catching and retaining of the endothelium can, in some embodiments, improve clinical results because scraping of tissue against tissue can cause significant abrasion to the vessel wall by increasing friction.
- the very tip of the wire 32 can be hemispherical. Alternatively, appointed tip can be used. A hemispherical tip can also be roughened or textured.
- the distal end of the wire 32 can also incorporate curved segments and straight segments. A straight segment can be distal to a curved segment.
- An ablation method can further include steps to protect against over- injection of sclerosant, into the deep system.
- an operator can observe the insertion point of the ablation device, and upon observing exiting sclerosant, an operator can stop injection of additional sclerosant. This is illustrated by the procedure of Figure 4.
- the physician first advances the intraluminal member into the vein of the subject.
- the physician damages the vein and injects sclerosant to ablate the vein as described above.
- the physician stops injection of sclerosant in response to observing sclerosant exiting the vein through the intrlauminal member access point.
- methods of performing vessel ablation can include creating and maintaining specific patient positioning.
- a patient can be, for example, tilted to enable access to veins and then moved to a flat position for performing the vessel ablation. This is illustrated by the method shown in Figure 5.
- the subject is oriented with the extremity to be treated positioned below their head. This allows easy vein access for introducing the intraluminal member into the vein at block 92.
- the subject is re-oriented with the extremity being treated level with or above their head.
- the procedure is then continued at block 96 where the inner vein wall is damaged and sclerosant is injected as described above.
- a flat or slightly inclined patient position allows blood and injectant to spill toward the untreated vein as the treated area of the vein gradually occludes.
- the patient can be tilted with legs down to facilitate vein access.
- the patient is then moved into a flat or only slightly head- down position.
- use of such patient positioning increases success rates for the procedure by allowing blood and sclerosant to spill toward the untreated vein which increases vein ablation and decreases the risk of deep vein thrombosis.
- the extremity being treated was maintained in a position below the head. The combination of vessel damage with the injection of sclerosant, however, allows the lifting of the extremity during the procedure with improved outcomes.
