Detailed description of the preferred embodiments
[0049] studies show that from the graft of AV graft vein end place local stenosis failure mainly is because neointimal hyperplasia, graft and the autogenous vein compliance between coincideing is mismatched, and due to the turbulent flow of anastomotic position.Kanterman R.Y.et al " Dialysis accessgrafts:Anatomic location of venous stenosis and results of angioplasty (dialyzing access graft: the anatomical position of phlebostenosis and the result of angioplasty). " Radiology 195:135-139,1995. we infer can be by without venous anastomosis, but makes blood flow directly into Venous system and evade these inducements with conduit.We use at the duct element of vein end with the synthetic graft construction element of standard mode and arterial anastomosis, have developed the vascular access system of removal venous anastomosis in the AV shunting.We believe that such system should eliminate or reduce the vein hypertrophy, and described vein hypertrophy is the maximum reason of AV shunting failure.

Vascular access system (VAS)
[0050] although these devices can be used as the integrating device of single-piece constructs, also can design many devices that comprise the separation assembly that is joined together subsequently.The multicompartment device has several advantages.The first, many devices allow the disconnection of one or more assemblies of this device.This makes multiple equipment energy characteristic be suitable for specific dissection and/or morbid state with regard to allowing, and for example, realizes by the assembly that uses different size.This has also reduced the expense for the treatment of the patient aspect several.Its multiple assembly by the depots storage, rather than the various intact device of depots storage and reduced the quantity in stock of specific device.Equally, if selected wrong device to be used for the patient at first, only need abandon wrong assembly and get final product, and need not to abandon whole device.The second, compare the easier manufacturing of a plurality of assemblies that separates of device with the device of integrated form.The 3rd, the separation assembly of doctor's implanting device then links together them, and integrated device is easier than implanting.The 4th, it allows assembly is adjusted as required to adapt to various patients' anatomical structure.Integrated device volume is excessive, and has slowed down implantation process, has therefore increased operating time and expense, has also increased the risk of doctor's error.
[0051] Fig. 1 has described one embodiment of the invention.The present invention includes adapter 2, described adapter 2 has first end 4, mid portion 6 that is connected to the first fluid pipeline and second end 8 that is connected to second fluid line, and the chamber from first end to second end 10.With reference to figure 2A and 2B, first fluid pipeline 12 is hemodialysis graft assembly normally, and second fluid line 14 conduit normally, but also can use other combination, such as graft/graft, conduit/graft or conduit/conduit.
[0052] in one embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figure 3, vascular access system (VAS) 100 comprises first parts 102 of graft material, first parts 102 have the integrated adapter end 104 that can be connected to second parts 106, second parts 106 comprise and are fit to transportation blood, also be fit to venesection or even littler invasive operation insert conduit tube component in the Venous system.The diameter of second parts 106 is little, about 7mm or littler, and preferably about 6mm or littler, and most preferably about 5mm or littler, implanting second parts 106 does not so need big venesection, and second parts 106 do not account for too much space in Venous system thus.VAS100 preferably has thin-walled so that available via the maximization of the mobile area of VAS100, can use the light-wall pipe of reinforcement to realize this purpose.Second parts 106 have the opening that is fit to be positioned at vein itself, and wherein said opening is at far-end or be positioned at the downstream that second parts 106 insert intravenous insertion position.The external diameter that inserts intravenous part of second parts 106 is less than its venous internal diameter of inserting, so that in force, blood can flow into intravenous by second parts, also can flow through at the vein of the external surface peripheral of second parts 106 itself.Second parts 106 can be suitable for subcutaneous application fully, and are configured in use avoid blood to accumulate there, so that successive blood flow to be provided.Insertion length that can be by assessment VAS100 vein to be inserted, second parts 106 and/or may assess is implemented diameter and the length that hemodialysis desired flow rates and pressure decline standard are determined two parts 102,106.
[0053] second parts 106 can be carried out cutting, be connected to graft parts 102 then to reach needed total length.Graft parts and parts of vessels 102,106 are made into to resist kink and extruding, but can not be too stiff.In one embodiment of the invention, these characteristics can reinforce 108 by the spiral in the silicone tube 110 provides.Operable other material comprises the polymer of PTFE, polyurethane and other blood compatibility.Fig. 3 has also shown duct element 106 parts that comprise self-styled closed zone 112, and self-styled closed zone 112 provides temporarily or provide for a long time the inserting needle path of implementing dialysis when graft 102 recovers.Self-styled closed zone 112 is preferably self-support type (for example frameless), has parts of vessels and/or identical diameter and the shape of graft parts with VAS usually, has tubular structure usually, makes and can puncture along its length and/or any point of girth.Self-styled closed zone 112 can comprise the self-enclosed material of the parietal layer of the graft parts of at least a portion that forms VAS and/or parts of vessels.Different with the self-enclosed material that provides at access port, self-styled closed zone 112 keeps elasticity to promote the implantation of VAS along its length or the longitudinal axis, also provides than the longer self-styled closed zone 112, self-styled closed zone on the access port of large volume.Longer length allows dialysis needle to insert in the bigger surface area, thereby makes identical little skin region not need repeated localised puncture, has therefore significantly reduced to cause infecting and/or the chance of hemorrhage formation sinus tract.This also makes specific needle track have more time to go to recover between the pin puncture, therefore compares with traditional access port, can further reduce and infect and/or risk of bleeding.In one embodiment, the length of self-styled closed zone 112 is at least about 2 inches, in another embodiment at least about 3 inches, and in other embodiments at least about 4 inches or 5 inches.VAS also can randomly comprise the flow transducer that is embedded in the VAS wall, and/or can adjust the conduit component with the control flow after implantation, and described flow transducer can externally be putd question to provide the flow reading in the device.These and other feature can be described below in more detail.
[0054] can use one or more other assemblies, structure or material that other site of puncture is provided, but the parts of vessels place that is included in part or all uses tubular material anti-puncture, circumferentially compression, is clipped in the gel rubber material in the tube wall, graft parts or its combination in any of low-durometer material inserting needle, but the implantation port of inserting needle, and/or need not pierce through the percutaneous port one 14 that skin 116 can enter, as shown in Figure 4.In these features some can discuss in more detail below.
[0055] in some embodiments of the present invention, also available one or more therapeutic agents coating graft parts and/or parts of vessels include but not limited to antithrombotic, reduction infection, fast track rehabilitation time, promote the cell growth and/or improve arterial anastomosis to realize any effect of various VAS dependent interactions.These reagent are including but not limited to heparin, carbon, silver compound, collagen, antibiotic with such as the anti-restenosis reagent of rapamycin or paclitaxel (paclitaxel).These reagent can be attached to the surface of VAS, as known in the art, realize with heparin with in conjunction with the material of chlorhexidine, or these reagent can be gone out by eluting from the eluted substance polymer coating.
[0056] similarly, also can change the porosity of self-styled closed zone 112 and further feature to amplify its effect.For example, this can realize by the porosity, structure and the wall thickness that change pipeline material.Some materials commonly used are combinations of ePTFE, polyurethane, silicones or these materials, described material so that the porous mode of the outer wall surface of this pipeline make.Porosity characteristic has promoted to help tissue ingrowth, can help to reduce infection rate.Think in the material that about 20 μ m or littler porosity provide the antiseep of bulk material before the pin puncture.Therefore the wall thickness that material is configured at least a portion has about 20 μ m or littler porosity is preferred, but optional.Yet about on the outer surface 10 μ m can promote the inside growth of porous surface inner cell to about 1000 μ m or bigger porosity, and this can reduce serosity and gathers around graft, and it has reduced again and the relevant infection rate of pin puncture conversely.More preferably, use the porosity of about 20 μ m, and most preferably use the porosity of about 100 μ m to about 200 μ m to about 200 μ m.For antiseep is provided and improve the ingrown material of cell, multilayer material can be provided, its surface layer has the ingrown porosity of cell of promotion and/or further feature, its subsurface stratum material has the feature that promotes antiseep.Yet, be applied to various substrate or therapeutic agent on graft parts and/or the parts of vessels by use, also can realize the inside growth of cell with the smooth surface device.And in the zone of not being intended to acupuncture of VAS, those regional available porous layers or coating provide the inside growth of organizing to promote, and do not need the antiseep subgrade.These materials also are biocompatible, and can be manufactured into, and for example, make they and the tremulous pulse that is connected suitable compliance be arranged with the foundation that impels arterial anastomosis and unobstructed.Side opposite also can be different materials, different surface textures with outer surface, and the coating with body reactions such as promotion such as unobstructed, resistance infection and tissue ingrowths.

The IMU pipeline material
[0078] in one embodiment of the invention, described graft material or tube material can have self-enclosed characteristic.The self-enclosed VAS wall that has a part at least that typically refers to has the ability to seal again after the sharp instruments puncture of using such as pin.Compare with traditional graft material, the material with self-enclosed characteristic can use when transplanting at once.Do not need biological maturation process to improve the leakage characteristics of material.Self-enclosed material can also shorten the needed time of the hemostasis of site of puncture after removing hemodialysis needles.In addition, this material can also be used for providing instant path position at other parts place of VAS or be used for benefiting from other curable product of self-enclosed characteristic.This IMU pipeline material can be positioned at any position along VAS.In one embodiment of the invention, low-durometer material can be used as instant site of puncture.In one embodiment of the invention, low-durometer material is included in that hardness is about material of 10 to 30 on the Shore A scale, preferably is about 10 to about 20 hardness on the Shore A scale.Other structure with self-enclosed characteristic will be described below.
A.
Compressive residual stress
[0079] in another embodiment, the invention provides to comprise and have compressive residual stress and think that graft or conduit provide the graft or the conduit of the pipeline of self-enclosed characteristic.In one embodiment, by with polymer, preferred silicones sprays on the pipe of being made by pipeline material that is pre-existing in, and the strain that simultaneously this pipe is subjected to one or more directions makes up self-enclosed pipeline material.This self-enclosed material provides the mechanical close characteristic, and this material adds or the blood substitute platelet condenses carries out self-isolation.In one embodiment, described VAS comprises the self-encapsulant of the two or more alternations of bed with residual stress coating.
[0080] in the particular that Figure 10 describes, described pipeline material comprises four layers, wherein internal layer 138 by axial tension pipeline material 140, spray this pipeline material and coating solidified, then pipeline material is discharged from tension and forms.The second layer 142 (from internal layer) is by along self axle distortion pipeline material 142, spraying and solidified coating, then pipeline material discharged from twisted state and forms.The 3rd layer 144 by recovering pipeline material from back, and with it along self axially opposite direction distortion with back, spray and solidified coating, then pipeline material is discharged from twisted state and forms.The 4th layer 146 by product is recovered from back, utilizes internal pressure to make its expansion, and spraying and solidified coating discharge material then and make from pressure state.Note, because described pipe along with pressure extends, therefore also can produce axial strain.Other strain coating or the 5th optional layer 148 of neutral coating can also be provided.This additional layer 148 helps to realize consistent external diameter.
[0081] although the example that produces self-closed type graft material or tube material above is provided, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art, can use many distortion of top method to produce the self-closed type tube material.Distortion is exactly by material being expanded and being drawn into thin-walled and by dipping or spraying polymer applications being created in residual stress in the graft material in this wall.The amount of the circumferential and/or axial stress in final pipe can be controlled by the amount of adjusting expansion or axial tension respectively.In addition, above-mentioned steps also can be implemented with different orders, and/or repeats or eliminate one or more steps.Other distortion is included in painting spindle in one or more steps and does not use the pipe that is pre-existing in or with the pipeline material upset, make inside out (for the ring stress of compression).
[0082] in another embodiment, can use the silicone tube that is reversed that compressive residual stress is provided.With the silicone tube upset, this pipe is turned up, cause stress and strain, this stress and strain produces by the silicones of high compression around the inner chamber of the pipe that turns up.With reference to figure 25A and 25B, turning up of silicone tube 450a produced circumferential tension force 452 and circumferential pressure 454 in the pipe 450b that turns up.By the silicone tube 450a that turns up, the outer surface 456a before turning up has been formed the inner chamber 456b of the pipe 450b that turns up by elastic compression, and the inner surface 458a before turning up with tension force 452 by elastic expansion, form the outer surface 458b of the pipe 450b that turns up.Tension force 452 on the outside of the pipe 450b that turns up causes radial compression force 454 around the inner surface 456b of the pipe 450b that turns up.Tension force 452 also can apply internal-direction-force 453 radially around the inner surface 456b of the pipe 450b that turns up.Therefore these power work to compress described self-enclosed material further to the vector that increases in radially.
[0083] different with the multilamellar self-closed type structure that has discontinuous compression stress through being everlasting every layer, the pipe 450b that turns up has compression stress gradually or that continue to change along the radius of pipe 450b.In some instances, the pipe 450b that turns up is characterised in that having cancelled external tension 452 places in the inside compression stress 454 of quilt has the intermediary radius or the degree of depth.In other words, the described pipe that turns up carries out the transition to the inner region of the elastomeric material with greater density reposefully from the outskirt of more uncompacted elastomeric material, the mesozone of the density of described elastic tube before having density to approximate between outskirt and inner region to turn up.
[0084] although the silicone tube 450a shown in Figure 25 A has the density and the structure of homogeneous, in other embodiments, along with one or more sizes of silicone tube 450a, silicone tube 450a can have variable density and/or geometry.Therefore, that silicone tube 450a can have is variable, radially, circumferentially, vertically or the density of its combination in any or structure, comprises the helical form variant.In other embodiments, the elastic construction of existing self-enclosed characteristic can be further strengthened by turning up.
[0085] be appreciated that internal diameter and/or the external diameter that turns up and can change or can not change described elastic tube, same, the length change before the length that can make or can not make pipe of turning up is turned up from it.If have, the degree of change depends on elastomeric material behavior, also has and elastomer coupling or bonded any other properties of materials.In some embodiments, circumferentially tension force and compression stress can be cancelled out each other to a great extent, cause the vary in diameter of this elastic tube very little.Equally, in most of embodiments of the present invention, seldom observe any variation of the length after the upset.
[0086] in a specific embodiment, there are 50 hardness silicone tube of 0.197 " (5mm) ID and 0.236 " (6mm) OD and 50mm length to be reversed.Length after the upset does not change, and the diameter after the upset is 0.202 " ID and 0.240 " OD.Because the measurement error of ID be about 0.001 " to 0.003 ", the measurement error of OD be about 0.001 " to 0.002 ", so this silicone tube turn up the back diameter do not have significant change.These experiment discoveries are corresponding to the variation that 5mm ID * 6mm OD silicone tube is predicted.The tabular of Figure 27 A has gone out the strain of the silicones of being predicted that turns up.Figure 27 B has illustrated the circumferential strain of the pipe of being predicted that turns up with figure.
[0087] reduced the seepage of pin puncture back silicone tube although turn up, the big strain that silicone tube bending or tractive produce still may cause the obvious seepage of the pipe that turns up.This may occur in that silicone tube is bent or when stretching, and for example, stretches and opens the pin puncture orifice along the silicone material than deep camber of bending, causes seepage.
[0088] for resist these big strains that may cause seepage, such as big strained effect from bending or tractive, available expanded PTFE (ePTFE) is reinforced the anti-seepage material such as silicones.The characteristic of ePTFE is relevant with its longitudinal biasing (bias), because it is when resting state, it has relatively limited axial tension characteristic, and can axial compression to bigger degree.Figure 28 has described the stretch-proof characteristic of ePTFE with chart.Data among the figure are from the ePTFE blood vessel graft of 6mm * 7.3mm.When this graft is stretched to approximately 170% the time, ePTFE has only produced a spot of tensile resistence.Yet, in case being stretched, ePTFE exceeds at about 170% o'clock, tensile resistence begins to increase greatly.In order to utilize this specific character of ePTFE, the ePTFE coating can be placed, for example, on the silicone tube to resist the stretching of this silicone tube.Described pipe still can free bend (although slightly poorer than the pipe that does not have stretch-proof material coating sometimes), and this is because being compressed than small curve of this bending, and does not outsidely stretch.If there is not ePTFE, when incurvature was compressed, extrinsic curvature can stretch.Usually, ePTFE be stretched to about 25 microns to about 30 microns internode apart to be used to reinforce silicone layer.In other embodiments, ePTFE can be stretched to about 20 microns and arrive about 35 microns average internode distance, be about 20 microns sometimes and arrive about 40 microns average internode distance.
[0089] with reference to figure 26A and 26B, in elastic construction, also can form circumferential compression stress, for example, 450a realizes by the radial compression silicone tube.In an example, by silicone tube 450a is inserted in the inner chamber 460 of less compressed pipe 462, or by being coupled to some other circumferential pressure texture, 450a compresses to silicone tube.When bigger silicone tube 450a was forced into less compressed pipe 462, silicone tube 450a was compressed into the silicone tube 450c of compression, had increased the self-enclosed characteristic of pipe 450c like this.The big young pathbreaker of described power depends on the degree of radial compression and changes.In some embodiments of these embodiments, compare with the silicone tube 450b that turns up, circumferential compression stress 464 along silicone tube 450c radial depth can distribute more equably, but the suppressed range that reaches around the inner surface of the silicone tube of turning up may be more difficult.Also can apply radial internal-direction-force 453 by the less compressed pipe 462 on the silicone tube 450c of compression.Yet, different with the silicone tube of turning up, depend on the degree of radial compression, the inner chamber of the silicone tube of radial compression is littler usually.
[0090] except the stretching of using the silicone tube of turning up such as the stretch-proof materials limitations of ePTFE, also can with silicone tube with before the material of stretch-proof combines, this silicone tube is placed under in various degree vertical compression.Like this can be by placing the antiseep characteristic of further improving the self-enclosed material that turns up under vertical compression.In some embodiments, in cohesive process, vertical compression strain of about 1% to about 10% can be applied to silicone tube, preferably in about 3% strain of arriving in about 4% scope.Although can use the strain greater than 10%, when big strain, silicone tube may begin distortion, becomes to be difficult to make.The formation of vertical compression stress can cause the external diameter expansion and the internal diameter of this pipe to reduce in the silicone tube.In some embodiments, before enforcement is turned up, can be with ePTFE material and self-enclosed elastomeric material coupling.
[0091] although other combination of materials also can be used to anti-seepage material that stretch-resistance is provided, ePTFE has secular use historical in vascular applications.EPTFE allows cell to grow in outer surface, and this has reduced possibility of infection, and has improved the stability of device.Silicones and ePTFE also have repeatably performance, and along with the time palliating degradation degree is minimum.In other embodiments, another kind of stretching resistance is higher than the biocompatible of resistance to compression but the material that needs not to be blood compatibility can replace ePTFE or use with ePTFE.Similarly, having the another kind of material of the mechanical property similar to silicones, may be polyurethane, can be used for replacing silicones.Thereby above-described example is the embodiment of more broad concept that contains the graft of anti-leakage layer, and described anti-leakage layer has the stretch-proof structure to limit the excessive stretching of this anti-leakage layer.The stretch-proof structure can be the stretch-proof layer that is attached to anti-leakage layer, or embeds the stretch-proof structure of anti-leakage layer inside.Preferably, described anti-leakage layer comprises the wall of silicones or silicone tube.Preferably, described stretch-proof structure is the stretch-proof layer, and ePTFE layer most preferably.Other suitable stretch-resistance is higher than resistance to compression, bio-compatible but the material that needs not to be blood compatibility can be united with ePTFE or PTFE and used or replace ePTFE or PTFE.
[0092], preferably has the medical grade silicon resin copolymer of suitable biocompatibility and stability although the silicones of many types can present above-described characteristic.Can use silicones crosslinked, heat cure and/or room temperature vulcanization (RTV) moisturecuring.In preferred embodiments, use the silicones of soft (being about 5 to about 50), pliable and tough, high-tear strength on the Shore A scale, be obedient to the pin that is inserted because such silicones is easier.Those skilled in the art also will appreciate that and also can use other material with elastic characteristic to come to form by turning up self-enclosed material.These other materials comprise polyurethane, also the polyurethane of preferred soft.
[0093] in one embodiment, provide the method for making the IMU pipeline material.Silicone tube is placed axle, and be sprayed with one or more layers silicones.Described silicone tube is axially rolled to present the outside configuration in the inside.The Nitinol coil is used for this pipe so that for this pipe provides antitorque knot, this coil is scribbled one or more layers silicones.EPTFE transplants the part of property management and expands with conical mandrel.Also can use such as nylon or stainless other coil or screw thread.The internal diameter of ePTFE transplanting property management is generally equal to or is slightly larger than the internal diameter of silicone tube.Described graft has constant internal diameter (ID) and/or external diameter (OD), or has the ID and/or the OD of small variation, perhaps has gradually thin ID and/or OD.In one embodiment, the silicone tube with 5mm internal diameter and 1.25mm wall thickness is used with the ePTFE blood vessel graft material of the 6mm ID of standard.Expansible graft material is placed the top of aforesaid silicone tube, and use an end that the ePTFE graft material is bonded to described silicone tube such as the binding agent of silicon resin adhesive.When remaining ePTFE graft material is placed in tension force following time, the remainder of this silicone tube is just compressed gently, with the residue of ePTFE graft material terminal with binding agent in conjunction with in position.Usually, be applied to that tension force on the ePTFE equates with compression stress on affacting silicones and opposite, but in other embodiments, the size of this power or this multiple power can difference.
[0094] in a specific embodiments of the present invention, be about 0.24 inch to about 0.30 inch with turning over and be sprayed with silicones so that its mean outside diameter in the silicone tube, preferred about 0.25 inch to about 0.29 inch, most preferably from about 0.25 inch to about 0.29 inch.Preferably, the two component silicones (for example Nusil MED 6233) that are diluted to 40% silicones with dimethylbenzene can be used as spray-up.But person of skill in the art will appreciate that, also can use various silicones or non-silicones sprayed on material that similar features is arranged usually.Stretching ePTFE graft (Boston Scientific Exxce1) above the exfoliated dilator of 22 French Cook C-PLI-22-38, and this ePTFE graft is placed the top of silicone tube conduit.With silicon resin adhesive graft is connected with this conduit and makes its curing at the near-end of described graft.Then with the tension of this graft, or place under the slight tension force, simultaneously this conduit is placed relaxed length or place under the slight compression.Then the far-end of this graft is used and turned round wire loop from the circumferential tinsel of terminal about 0.25 " of this graft and be fixed on conduit and sentence just and clamp temporarily.Then that the ledge of graft material is bonding with silicon resin adhesive.This device was solidified about 10 minutes in about 125 degrees centigrade stove, then remove tinsel and turn round wire loop.At about 127cm H

Instant access graft device
[0100] as above-mentioned, IMU pipeline material disclosed herein can use with the preferred embodiments of the invention that comprise graft assembly and conduit tube component, but also can incorporate in more traditional vascular access graft design.
[0101] for example, described IMU pipeline material also can combine with the conventional tube vascular access graft that comprises ePTFE.Except the instant characteristics of channel were provided, this instant passage region can also provide faster or instant hemostasis.This can help to implement dialysis, and is hemorrhage because it has reduced by graft.Reduce hemorrhagely can ease the pain, swelling, infection rate and such as the hemorrhage complication of hematoma.If, can reduce hemorrhage when pin is removed or described graft when unexpectedly being pierced through (backwalled) " (sticking a needle into whole grafts) by ".Pierce through graft and be standard graft significantly pay close attention to because in order to stop blooding, must apply sizable pressure to stop hemorrhage on the inwall to graft.This pressure may inaccessible graft, forces to adopt thrombectomy or other operation of removing blood clot to recover blood flow.Described instant passage region can also more anti-ly subside or be incompressible.The insertion that this can help to locate this instant passage region and help dialysis needle.Described IMU pipeline material can provide along the total length and the circumference of ePTFE graft, or uses it for limited parts or several parts of this ePTFE graft.Described IMU pipeline material can be incorporated into the inner surface and/or the outer surface of described graft, and comprises between each layer of graft of ePTFE.The application that has the IMU pipeline material of ePTFE provides the closure property of IMU pipeline material and has been familiar with and the ePTFE parts of traditional use for the clinician.
[0102] with reference to Figure 18, in one embodiment of the invention, instant access graft 250 comprises the ePTFE pipe 252 of a segment length of the IMU pipeline material 254 that has the smaller length that is formed at or is attached in the inner chamber.IMU pipeline material 254 is incorporated between two ends 256,258 of ePTFE pipe 252, so that each end of two ends 256,258 of ePTFE pipe 252 all has the part 260,262 that lacks IMU pipeline material 254.Preferred exposed ePTFE part 260,262 and tremulous pulse, vein or other body conduit are sewed up, and this is because its compliance similar to vascular tissue and its stitching keep due to the intensity.Also preferably ePTFE part 260,262 also is that this has increased blood sealing ability and resistance infection because it promotes tissue ingrowth.For the thrombosis risk that the turbulent flow that is reduced in interface 264 places of IMU pipeline material 254 and ePTFE pipe between 252 causes, can use silicones 266 or another kind of biomaterial filling interface slit 264, so that provide more smooth interior surface for graft chamber 268.In some embodiments, for the variation of the internal diameter that makes graft chamber 268 reduces or minimizes, described ePTFE pipe is expand into than major diameter in advance at instant 278 places, site of puncture, so that hold the volume of IMU pipeline material 254, thereby reduce or eliminate the situation that IMU pipeline material 254 is invaded graft inner chamber 268.Selectively, described ePTFE and IMU pipeline material can expand in conjunction with the back, but may weaken the function of IMU pipeline material like this.
[0103] there is not the end of the ePTFE graft 250 of IMU pipeline material 254 by reservation, with coincide identical similar with the traditional vascular access graft of having only ePTFE of two ends 256,258 of graft 250 and tremulous pulse and venous, therefore do not need further to develop and move skill to implant instant access graft 250.On the contrary, provide in the embodiment of IMU pipeline material in the end of ePTFE graft, the combination of ePTFE and IMU pipeline material and the thickness that increases are connected the surgeon and have more challenge, and owing to, may cause thrombosis to increase at anastomotic position with the different of vascular compliance or owing to low-qualityer surgery operating technology.
[0104] although embodiment shown in Figure 180 is configured to make the variation of the internal diameter 270 of vascular access graft 250 to reduce or minimizes, the external diameter 272 of graft 250 increases, with the seriality of holding chamber 268.In other embodiments, as shown in Figure 19, the variation of the external diameter 272 of vascular access graft 250 can provide IMU pipeline material 254 to reduce by the chamber 268 along ePTFE pipe 252 or minimize, IMU pipeline material 254 has replaced a part of chamber volume like this, causes dwindling of internal diameter 270.Reduce gradually by thickness, the turbulent flow at 264 places, interface between the via material 254 and ePTFE pipe 252 when in sight is reduced the end 274,276 of IMU pipeline material 254.Person of skill in the art will appreciate that, can be adjusted at the ID270 of graft 250 at place, instant site of puncture and the relation between the OD272 adaptively.In addition, can reduce the variation of the internal diameter 270 and the external diameter 272 of graft 250, increase to compensate the thickness that causes owing to IMU pipeline material 254 by being provided at the ePTFE pipe 252 that instant site of puncture 278 has the thickness that reduces on every side.
[0105] the optional antitorque junction structure 280 of one or more terminal 274,276 grafts resisted that provide on every side 250 kinks of IMU pipeline material 254 is provided Figure 19.The tendency of having only different wall between the ePTFE part 260,262 and/or wall compliance to cause kink in conjunction with the part 278 of IMU pipeline material 254 and graft 250 of ePTFE pipe 252.
[0106] in a specific embodiments of the present invention, provides two-layer self-enclosed graft.Described graft comprises the silicone tube of turning up of outer field ePTFE graft material and internal layer.Usually, the ID of described ePTFE is greater than the ID of this silicone tube of turning up.Described ePTFE graft slips over this silicone tube of turning up and bonding with silicon resin adhesive.Preferably, described silicone tube of turning up be shorter in length than described ePTFE graft material, this just makes one or more ends of described device comprise ePTFE rather than silicones.Transition region from the internal diameter of this ePTFE graft to this silicone tube of turning up can be with other silicones injection moulding to provide more level and smooth transition two assemblies.Also can make the part of outside ePTFE layer around the silicone tube of turning up before bonding and/or expanded radially afterwards with the silicone tube of turning up.Expanded radially can reduce the rapid variation (if there is) of the internal diameter of device in transition region, and provides more consistent internal diameter along the length of device.
[0107] in double layer design, the ID of described ePTFE graft is usually greater than the ID of described silicone tube of turning up.For example, silicone tube can have the ID (before turning up) of 5mm, and described ePTFE graft can have the ID of 6mm.The difference of ID can change in the scope from about 1mm to about 3mm, and preferably about 1mm is to about 2mm.Described silicone tube of turning up can have the ID of about 4mm to about 10mm, and preferably about 5mm is to about 8mm, and most preferably from about 5mm is to about 7mm.The ePTFE section of 0.25cm or longer no self-enclosed material, more preferably 1.5cm or longer, most preferably 3cm or longer preferably have an appointment in the one or both ends of described device.The length of described silicone tube can be about 5cm to about 80cm, and preferably about 8cm is to about 25cm, and most preferably from about 10cm is to about 17cm.The length of described graft material can be that about 10cm arrives about 100cm, and preferably about 20cm is to about 50cm, and most preferably from about 30cm is to about 40cm.The exemplary another embodiment of the invention of having described of Figure 20, the internal diameter 270 of graft 250 is constant usually, and instant passage area 278 is provided simultaneously.In this embodiment, IMU pipeline material 254 is adhered to the outer surface of ePTFE pipe 252.Randomly, on can the outer surface that covers IMU pipeline material 254 286 with another sheet or another layer ePTFE pipe 284.By another layer ePTFE is covered on the IMU pipeline material, patient body is only contacted with ePTFE, and do not contact with the IMU pipeline material, in some embodiments, to compare with ePTFE, described IMU pipeline material has less favourable biocompatibility.Also can around the end 274,276 of instant via material 254, provide optional antitorque junction structure 280.
[0108] Figure 20 also shown between the length of IMU pipeline material 254 and the ePTFE pipe 252 relation can great changes will take place.For example, the longer part 260 that does not have IMU pipeline material 254 of ePTFE pipe 252 needs that can be used for providing more traditional make the vascular access of graft 250 endothelializations.By reducing the size of instant passage portion 278 with respect to graft 250 total lengths, can reduce volume, the easness of transplanting, the manufacturing cost of graft 250, and/or the manufacturing defect rate of graft, still can provide simultaneously enough instant access function up to using more traditional path in the part 260,262 of having only ePTFE.Silicones or instant passage area are provided between ePTFE end portion 260,262, and its length can be dependent on graft 250 and places the intravital position of body and change.In some embodiments of the present invention, the clear length of silicones part 278 arrives about 40cm for about 5cm, and the length of every end of ePTFE pipe 252 arrives about 20cm for about 0.5cm.In preferred embodiments, the clear length of silicones part 278 arrives about 30cm for about 7cm, and the length of every end of ePTFE pipe 252 arrives about 10cm for about 1cm; In most preferred embodiment, the clear length of silicones part 278 arrives about 20cm for about 10cm, and the about 3cm of length of every end of ePTFE pipe 252 is to about 7cm.
[0109] another specific embodiments of the present invention comprises three layers of self-closed type device, and internal layer and skin are ePTFE graft material layer, and the intermediate layer is the silicone tube of turning up.Three bed devices have reduced the exposure of self-enclosed material to vascular system and health.Than the two-layer design that self-enclosed material is exposed to vascular system, three layers of design can improve the overall biocompatibility of described device.Three bed devices can slip over the ePTFE graft material by the silicone tube that will turn up, and form two assemblies are bonding.Then larger-diameter ePTFE graft is slipped over the silicone tube part of turning up, and bonding subsequently.Selectively, the ePTFE layer of inside can be adhered to the outer surface of non-silicone tube of turning up, turn up with silicone tube then.With described two-layer design class seemingly, preferably, the length in self-closed type intermediate layer all is shorter than inside and outside ePTFE layer so that the one or more ends without any silicone tube to be provided.The length of described inside and outside ePTFE layer can be identical or different.Preferably, described outside ePTFE layer be shorter in length than inner ePTFE layer so that the thickness of the end of described device can be compared with traditional graft.Although internal layer is shorter than skin and has similar end thickness, such structure places the transition region between two assemblies on the inner chamber of this device, rather than on the outer surface, may show more turbulent flow like this and reduce blood compatibility thus.
[0110] in three layers of design, the ID of described silicone tube of turning up is usually greater than the ID of inner ePTFE graft, and the ID of outside ePTFE assembly is greater than this silicone tube of turning up.In a specific embodiment, be that the silicone tube of 7.5mm is turned up and slipped over the ePTFE graft of 6mm with ID.The ePTFE of 8.5-9.5mm that will be bigger transplants the silicone tube part of turning up that property management slips over above-mentioned assembling then.In other embodiments of the present invention, the ID of inner graft material can be about 4mm to about 10mm, and preferably about 5mm is to about 8mm, most preferably from about 6mm.The ID of intermediary self-enclosed material can be about 4mm to about 11mm, and preferably about 5mm is to about 7mm, most preferably from about 6mm.The ID of outside graft material can be about 5mm to about 12mm, and preferably about 6mm is to about 10mm, and most preferably from about 7mm is to about 8mm.The length of described silicone tube can be about 5cm to about 80cm, and preferably about 8cm is to about 25cm, and most preferably from about 10cm is to about 17cm.The length of the graft material of described inside can be about 10cm to about 100cm, preferred about 20cm is to about 50cm, and most preferably from about 30cm arrives about 40cm, and the length of outside graft material can be about 5cm to about 82cm, preferred about 8cm is to about 27cm, and most preferably from about 31cm is to about 42cm.
[0111] in another embodiment of the invention, provide the vascular access graft 288 of taper, thereby an end 258 of the ePTFE of graft 288 pipe 252 is greater than another end 256 of described pipe 252.By providing less ePTFE end 256 connecting less tremulous pulse, and provide bigger ePTFE end 258 to connect bigger vein, terminal 256,258 size difference can make graft 286 coincide with tremulous pulse and venous and become easy.Describedly can occur in the total length of ePTFE pipe 252 or occur on the one or more less section of ePTFE pipe 252 than the transition region 290 (zones that ID 270 changes) between little end 256 and described big terminal 258.Thereby, the conversion of ID 270 can be gradually or unexpected.Graft 288 also can be tapered at one or two end 256,268 places, the 4mm that for example has an appointment keeps less to the diameter at tapering terminal 256,258 places so that one or two coincide of about 6mm, and coincideing at two simultaneously provides bigger diameter to be beneficial to the insertion of pin between terminal 256,258.In some embodiments as shown in figure 21, IMU pipeline material 254 can be located near the outer surface 282 of the pipe 252 the smaller diameter portion 292 of transition region 290, and randomly extends on pipe 252.This position can be favourable, because it can improve the increase of the OD272 of graft 288, in case IMU pipeline material 254 along the part location that has than the pipe 252 of major diameter 272 increase of the OD 272 of graft 288 will take place.The end 274,276 of IMU pipeline material 254 is preferably taper also, to provide more level and smooth transition between the end 274,276 of the outer surface 282 of ePTFE pipe 252 and IMU pipeline material 254.As in other embodiments, can around any or two ends 274,276 of instant via material 254, provide antitorque junction structure 280.In a selectable embodiment, IMU pipeline material 254 can be located in the chamber 268 than the taper graft 288 around the major diameter part 294 of transition region 290.The end 274,276 of IMU pipeline material 254 is preferably taper also, so that the more level and smooth transition in graft chamber 268 to be provided between the end 274,276 of ePTFE pipe 252 and IMU pipeline material 254.
[0112] can provide above-mentioned multiple instant access graft embodiment with different length, to adapt to the needed different duct lengths of different patient groups.The graft embodiment also can be with being provided by one or more parts that separate that graft parts adapter connects, described graft embodiment can or be adjusted to needed length by cutting, or has the part length that can select that can be incorporated into required length.
[0113] length-adjustable graft can be provided by the graft parts that have only the ePTFE end portion that the layering of IMU pipeline material can be removed to form this graft.With reference to Figure 22, an embodiment of length-adjustable graft 296 comprise embed IMU pipeline material 254 inside or embed unwinding member 298 between IMU pipeline material and the ePTFE pipe 252.After graft 296 is cut or is cropped to its needed length, similar with peel-away catheter, unwinding member 298 can be peeled off, cause the part 300 of IMU pipeline material 254 to be separated with ePTFE pipe 252.Then IMU pipeline material 254 is removed, and do not remove following ePTFE pipe 252.This just allows, and for example, the surgeon at first is cropped to needed length with an end 258 of graft 296, removes a section 300 of IMU pipeline material 254 then, and just having produced only has ePTFE end portion 262 to coincide helping.In one embodiment, IMU pipeline material 254 comprises silicones and the spiral coil 298 that is embedded in the silicones 254 that approaches ePTFE pipe 252 most, so that when tractive spiral coil 298, silicones 254 and ePTFE 252 layerings.Being cropped silicones 254 subsequently by layered portion 300 and unwound coil 298.Selectively, IMU pipeline material 254 and coil member 298 can be in the chambeies 268 of ePTFE graft 296, and with chamber 268 layerings.
[0114] Figure 23 and 24 has shown the embodiment of instant path blood vessel graft 302,312, and described 302,312 comprise and are arranged to first of arterial anastomosis and ePTFE end portion 304, IMU pipeline material part 306 only arranged, be arranged to second of venous anastomosis ePTFE end portion 308 is only arranged.In manufacture process, three parts, 304,306,308 whole formation perhaps as shown in figure 24, can be connected the two or more parts in the part 304,306,308 with one or more graft parts adapters 310.If connect, the number of the graft parts adapter 310 that is then provided depends on that whether IMU pipeline material part 306 only has ePTFE end portion 304,308 whole formation with arbitrary.Comprise two or more sections the instant access graft 302 that connects by graft parts adapter 310 allow (but not being essential) with each end of ePTFE end 304,308 respectively with vascular anastomosis, be connected with other parts 304,306,308 then.Concerning the surgeon, no matter whether the other end 304,308 of graft 302 waves in the operation that coincide, and coincideing not may be easier with an end 304,308 of the graft of the instant passage portion 306 of large volume.Yet, in other embodiments, before beginning to coincide, two ends 304,308 of graft 302 can be connected by adapter 310.Multistage graft 312 also can allow one or more sections 306 of graft 312 to be cut into needed length before being connected by adapter 310.This embodiment of graft 312 has kept the benefit that has the instant access graft that ePTFE end 304,308 is only arranged that the surgeon was familiar with, and provides the IMU highway section 306 that can carry out cutting or adjustment at particular patient for graft 312 simultaneously.This length that not only is used in the graft 312 of particular patient obtains optimization, and by do not need the multiple size of stock can not cutting the graft 302 of regular length also can reduce stock's needs of hospital or Surgicenter.In preferred embodiment shown in Figure 24, therefore whole formation of a part in instant passage portion 306 and the ePTFE part 304 only need a graft parts adapter 310 that three parts 304,306,308 are linked together.The embodiment of having only a graft parts adapter 310 has reduced the risk of the accidental separation of graft 312 by removing a position that disconnects probability.
[0115] selectively, each part 304,306,308 with multiple size of graft 312 can be packed separately or packed together, this multiple size can be mixed coupling so that needed graft length or other graft feature to be provided.Yet, pack the waste that each assembly can reduce arbitrary assembly separately.
[0116] in further embodiment of the present invention, two-part device can be provided, in this two-part device, first has with ID and is the identical element of the whole taper that is connected of the adapter of about 6mm or 7mm, and second portion is configured to whole ID to be about 4mm and to be used for arterial anastomosis.The internal diameter difference of these two parts diminishes gradually to reduce turbulent flow.
