Stent for stenosis treatment
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Stent zur Stenosebehandlung, insbesondere einen ballonexpandierbaren Stent, aus ein Netzwerk bildenden, flexiblen Drähten.The invention relates to a stent for treating stenosis, in particular a balloon-expandable stent made of flexible wires forming a network.
Ballonexpandierbare Stents werden auf einem Ballonkatheter montiert und mit diesem bis in die verengte Stelle (Stenose) des Gefäßes oder des Hohlorgans eingeführt. Der Ballon wird inflatiert und dadurch der Stent dilatiert. Nach Erreichen des gewünschten Stentdurchmessers wird der Ballon deflatiert, so daß der Katheter entfernt werden kann.Balloon-expandable stents are mounted on a balloon catheter and inserted into the narrowed area (stenosis) of the vessel or hollow organ. The balloon is inflated and the stent is thereby dilated. Once the desired stent diameter has been reached, the balloon is deflated so that the catheter can be removed.
Daneben gibt es auch selbstexpandierende Stents. Vor dem Einführen des selbstexpandierenden Stents wird die Stenose mittels Ballonkatheter aufgedehnt. Der Stent wird über einen Führungsdraht oder einen Trägerkatheter mit Hilfe eines Spezialbestecks implantiert. Nach exakter Plazierung wird der Stent, zum Beispiel durch Zurückziehen einer Außenhülle oder Hüllenmembran des Implantationsbestecks, freigesetzt. Die selbständige Expansion erfolgt nach Stentdesign durch eine entsprechende Netzwerkkonstruktion oder durch ein spezielles Stentmaterial.There are also self-expanding stents. Before the self-expanding stent is inserted, the stenosis is expanded using a balloon catheter. The stent is implanted using a guide wire or a carrier catheter with the help of a special instrument. After precise placement, the stent is released, for example by pulling back an outer shell or shell membrane of the implantation instrument. The independent expansion takes place according to the stent design using a corresponding network construction or a special stent material.

Bekannte Stents weisen ein Netzwerk aus Drähten auf, die rautenförmige Maschen bilden. Die Drähte sind miteinander verbunden oder spiralförmig gedreht. Bei anderen Stenttypen wird das Netzwerk aus einem Metalltubus herausgestanzt und entsprechend aufbereitet.Known stents have a network of wires that form diamond-shaped meshes. The wires are connected to each other or twisted into a spiral. In other types of stents, the network is punched out of a metal tube and prepared accordingly.
Nachteilig bei den Stents mit rautenförmigen Maschen ist, daß eine Expansion des Stents auch mit einer Verkürzung der Stentlänge verbunden ist. Eine erhebliche Verkürzung kann die genaue Plazierung des Stents und somit die Behebung einer Striktur oder Stenose erschweren.The disadvantage of stents with diamond-shaped meshes is that an expansion of the stent is also associated with a shortening of the stent length. A significant shortening can make it more difficult to place the stent precisely and thus to repair a stricture or stenosis.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Stent der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung anzugeben, der sich durch geringe Kürzung bei der Expansion auszeichnet.The object of the invention is to provide a stent of the type described above, which is characterized by minimal shortening during expansion.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß in Längsrichtung des Stents nebeneinander mehrere Reihen von in Umfangsrichtung des Stents mäanderförmig verlegten Drähten angeordnet sind und daß Mäander benachbarter Reihen durch Brückendrähte verbunden sind, die in Längsrichtung des Stents gekrümmt oder gewellt sind. Bei Expansion dieses Stents erzeugt der mäanderförmige Verlauf der Drähte eine nur geringe Verkürzung der einzelnen Reihen, die jedoch durch die gekrümmten oder gewellten Brückendrähte aufgefangen wird, so daß die Länge des Stents im wesentlichen konstant bleibt. Dabei können die Mäander in Längsrichtung des Stents vorzugsweise gerade Mäanderschenkel aufweisen. Die Eigenschaften des Stents bleiben aber auch erhalten, wenn die Mäander in Längsrichtung des Stents leicht gekrümmte Mäanderschenkel aufweisen.This task is solved by arranging several rows of wires laid in a meandering shape in the circumferential direction of the stent next to one another in the longitudinal direction of the stent and by connecting the meanders of adjacent rows by bridge wires that are curved or corrugated in the longitudinal direction of the stent. When this stent expands, the meandering course of the wires causes only a slight shortening of the individual rows, which is, however, compensated for by the curved or corrugated bridge wires, so that the length of the stent remains essentially constant. The meanders in the longitudinal direction of the stent can preferably have straight meander legs. The properties of the stent are also retained, however, if the meanders in the longitudinal direction of the stent have slightly curved meander legs.
Für den Anschluß der Brückendrähte an die Mäander gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten. So können die Brückendrähte anThere are various options for connecting the bridge wires to the meanders. The bridge wires can be connected to

Die Brückendrähte können aber auch an den die Mäanderschenkel verbindenden Mäanderbögen angeschlossen sein, wobei die Brückendrähte sowohl an den Außenseiten der Mäanderbögen als auch an den Innenseiten angeschlossen sein können.the meander legs. The bridge wires can also be connected to the meander arches connecting the meander legs, whereby the bridge wires can be connected to both the outside and the inside of the meander arches.
Auch für die Gestaltung des Netzwerks insgesamt bestehen verschiedene Möglichkeiten. Die Mäander können in Umfangsrichtung des Stents derart angeordnet sein, daß die Mäanderbögen benachbarter Reihen einander gegenüberliegen. Bei einer anderen Ausführung weisen die Mäanderbögen benachbarter Reihen in die gleiche Richtung.There are also various options for the design of the network as a whole. The meanders can be arranged in the circumferential direction of the stent in such a way that the meander arches of adjacent rows face each other. In another design, the meander arches of adjacent rows point in the same direction.
Die Anzahl der Brückendrähte kann in weiten Grenzen variiert werden und hängt gegebenenfalls auch vom Material des Netzwerks ab. Es können alle Mäander benachbarter Reihen durch Brückendrähte verbunden sein. Man kann aber auch jeden zweiten oder jeden dritten Mäander einer Reihe durch einen Brückendraht mit dem zugeordneten Mäander der benachbarten Reihe verbinden und die Brückendrähte der folgenden Reihen in Umfangsrichtung des Stents versetzt anordnen .The number of bridge wires can be varied within wide limits and may also depend on the material of the network. All meanders of adjacent rows can be connected by bridge wires. However, every second or every third meander in a row can also be connected to the corresponding meander in the adjacent row by a bridge wire and the bridge wires of the following rows can be arranged offset in the circumferential direction of the stent.
Vorteilhafterweise können zumindest einige Brückendrähte mehrfach gewunden, wie z. B. S-förmig oder dergleichen ausgebildet sein, wodurch zum einen eine gute Krimpbarkeit resultiert und zum anderen der Stent sehr flexibel ist und sich Biegungen gut anpassen kann, wobei die Länge in etwa gleichbleibt, da die Mehrfachwindungen sowohl eine Dehnung als auch eine Stauchung in Umf angsrichtung wie auch in axialer Richtung sehr gut ausgleichen können.Advantageously, at least some bridge wires can be wound multiple times, such as in an S-shape or the like, which on the one hand results in good crimpability and on the other hand the stent is very flexible and can adapt well to bends, whereby the length remains approximately the same, since the multiple windings can compensate very well for both stretching and compression in the circumferential direction as well as in the axial direction.
Für den Stent können unterschiedliche Materialien eingesetzt werden, zum Beispiel chirurgischer Edelstahl, TantalDifferent materials can be used for the stent, for example surgical stainless steel, tantalum
