PURPOSE
u
To desing a ballon expandable intravascular stent that is both specific for and versatile enough to treat the various vascular obstructions associated with congenital heart disease
To improve the safety and efficacy of the ballon delivery s system when deploying intravascular stents
 

 

BACKGROUND
Palmaz Stent: Limitations and Disadvantages
uDesigned for adult peripheral vascular obstructions … not CHD
uRigid, sharp-edged, stainless steel endoprosthesis
vDifficult to deliver in tortuous vessels
vTendency to rupture balloon, ? vascular injury
uSlot design causes significant stent shortening
vAt recommended expanded diameters: < 33% @ 12 mm
vWhen “overexpanded”:  > 50% @ 18 mm
uLimited range of expanded diameters and lengths
v? Unsuitable for aorta, pulmonary arteries, systemic veins
Single Balloon Delivery System
uBalloon is chosen longer than stent to avoid stent migration, unfortunately ...
Excessve "flaring of stent"--> trauma to balloon, vessel
uLeads to stent migration and catheter movement
uNo ability to reposition stent during delivery
 

 

GOALS
NuMED Cheatham Platinum (CP) Stent
uExpand from 8 mm to 24 mm
uA wider selection of stent lengths
uShorten < 20% at full expansion
uAtraumatic round leading and trailing edges
uMore “flexible”, yet stronger than Palmaz Stent
NuMED Balloon In Balloon (BIB) Catheter
uMinimize stent flaring, migration
uMinimize catheter movement
uAllow stent repositioning
Maintain current or 1 Fr size larger introducer sheath
 

 

NuMED CP STENT  DEVELOPMENT
uCollaborative effort initiated in Nov. 1996
uComposition: 90% platinum/10% iridium 0.013” wire
vHeat tempered to improve strength, “handling” characteristics
uDesign: Zig pattern in rows, laser welded together
Variable number of zigs: determines maximum expansion diameter while allowing  < 20% stent shortening
·6 Z < 16 mm, 8 Z < 24 mm, 10Z < 30mm
vVariable # of rows: determines stent length
·11, 16, 22, 28, 34, 39, 45, 50 mm ...
 

 

NuMED BIB CATHETER DEVELOPMENT
uCollaborative effort initiated in Nov. 1997
uInner balloon < C-P Stent length
vTyshak material, low profile
vExpands to 1/2 diameter of outer balloon
uOuter balloon > C-P Stent length
vZ-Med material, noncompliant
vLength is 1 cm longer than inner balloon
vExpands to desired diameter to treat lesion
uCatheter shaft diameters: 8 Fr, 9 Fr
 

 

NuMED C-P Stent TESTING
uPrevious biocompatibility, corrosion, and fatigue testing
uBench: compression strength, % shortening, introducer size
uIn vitro animal vessel (canine, porcine)
uIn vivo animal (canine): acute & chronic studies

Mount C-P Stent (always confirm on fluoro BEFORE crimping)
Crimping: finger pressure & “rolling” of stent

CONCLUSIONS
©The NuMED C-P Stent offers an effective, nonsurgical treatment for a wide variety of vascular obstructions associated with CHD
©The heat tempered platinum/iridium wire and Zig design improve stent strength, radiopacity, and flexibility compared to the Palmaz stent
©The C-P Stent design also minimizes shortening and vessel/balloon trauma while offering a wide range of expanded diameters (8-30 mm) and lengths (11-117 mm)
©The NuMED BIB catheter is an innovative concept that has significantly improved operator control during intravascular stent delivery
©Minimizes stent flaring, migration, and shortening
©Minimizes catheter movement during deployment
©Allows stent repositioning before final expansion
Covering the C-P Stent is possible, but needs more investigation
Although more data and longer follow-up are required the NuMED C-P Stent and BIB delivery catheter offer promise for the future
 

 

FUTURE
Miniaturize the C-P Stent and BIB delivery system
©Use 0.011” wire - testing underway
©Reduce Fr size of BIB catheter - testing underway
©Improve “covered” C-P Stent
©Urothane, Silicone, ??? - testing underway
©Gain approval for worldwide use
©FDA - HUD submitted
©Europe - CE Mark submitted
 

 

COMO DETERMINAR EL TAMAÑO A USAR DEL C-P Stent ?
El C-P Stent está configurado por “ZIGS”, lo cual determina el máximo rango de expansión del diametro del stent.
Al momento de expansión, se calcula un acortamiento del stent no mayor al 20%.
Longitudes disponibles de 16 a 45mm.
 

 

TAMAÑOS DISPONIBLES DEL C-P Stent
Configuración Expansión Máxima
# de ZIGS del Diámetro
6 ZIGS 16mm
8 ZIGS 24mm
10 ZIGS 30mm
Todas las configuraciones disponibles en longitudes de 16, 22, 28, 34, 39, y 45mm (órdenes especiales para longitud de 50mm).
 

 

CATETER BIB

Está diseñado con un balón interno y un balón externo.
El balón interno es 1/2 del diámetro del balón externo.
El balón interno es 1 cm mas corto que el balón externo.
Por ejemplo un balón externo de 8mm de diámetro x 3cm  de longitud, tiene  un balón interno de 4mm x 2cm.
El balón interno tiene una presión máxima de ruptura de   4.5 a 5 ATMs, y 4 bandas de imágen posicionadas para marcar el largo usable del balón.
Todos los catéteres se usan con alambre guía de 0.035”
