Propulsion System For Inertial Energy Transfer To Disrupt Vascular Lesions

View page
US Patent:
20220313304, Oct 6, 2022
Filed:
Jun 23, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/847874
Inventors:
- Maple Grove MN, US
Roger W. McGowan - Otsego MN, US
Christopher Smuk - Champlin MN, US
Binh C. Tran - Minneapolis MN, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/3203
Abstract:
Embodiments herein relate to systems and methods for intravascular lesion disruption. In an embodiment, a catheter system for imparting pressure to induce fractures upon a vascular lesion within or adjacent a blood vessel wall is included. The system includes a catheter configured to advance to a vascular lesion, the catheter including an elongate shaft that defines at least a first orifice for fluid flow; a balloon, coupled to the elongate shaft, that surrounds the first orifice where the balloon can expand from a collapsed configuration suitable for advancing the catheter through a patient's vasculature to a first expanded configuration suitable for anchoring the catheter in position relative to a treatment site; and a propulsion system configured to propel a fluid from the first orifice toward the balloon wall to create an inertial impulse in a vessel wall to transfer momentum to the vascular lesion. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract:
A catheter system () for placement within a treatment site () at a vessel wall (A) or a heart valve includes an energy source (), a balloon (), an energy guide (A), and a tissue identification system (). The energy source () generates energy. The balloon () is positionable substantially adjacent to the treatment site (). The balloon () has a balloon wall () that defines a balloon interior (). The balloon () is configured to retain a balloon fluid () within the balloon interior (). The energy guide (A) is configured to receive energy from the energy source () and guide the energy into the balloon interior () so that plasma is formed in the balloon fluid () within the balloon interior (). The tissue identification system () is configured to spectroscopically analyze tissue within the treatment site (). A method for treating a treatment site () within or adjacent to a vessel wall (A) or a heart valve can utilize any of the catheter systems () described herein.
