    摘要: An apparatus and method for blood oxygenation is provided, advantageously comprising an extracorporeal circuit for the preparation and delivery of hyperoxic or hyperbaric blood. In one embodiment, an apparatus for gas-supersaturating fluids, e.g., physiologic saline, includes a chamber having a first inlet to receive the fluid; a second inlet to receive a gas, e.g., oxygen, from a gas supply that maintains pressure within the chamber at a predetermined level, advantageously about 600 p.s.i.; and an outlet advantageously coupled to a capillary assembly. An atomizer nozzle coupled to the first inlet advantageously creates within the chamber fine droplets of fluid into which gas diffuses to create the gas-supersaturated fluid, which collects within the chamber below the atomizer nozzle for removal via the outlet. The removed gas-supersaturated fluid mixes with blood provided by a blood pump, the mixing occurring within a liquid-to-liquid oxygenation assembly including a pressurizable chamber having inlets for the gas-supersaturated fluid and blood, the inlets advantageously arranged to create a vortical or cyclonic fluid flow within the chamber to promote mixing. The mixed fluid exits the chamber via an outlet for delivery to a patient (e.g., sub-selective delivery) or other site via a catheter, infusion guidewire, or other interventional fluid delivery device, the mixed fluid advantageously comprising blood having increased oxygen levels, i.e., oxygenated blood. Alternately, the blood may be provided by the pump to a high pressure hollow fiber or other type membrane oxygenator within which oxygen, advantageously provided at a pressure greater than atmospheric, diffuses across the membrane(s) and into the blood to form oxygenated blood, again for delivery to a patient or other site. Advantageously, the oxygenated blood is delivered at a target pO2 greater than about 760 mm Hg and is delivered from the liquid-to-liquid oxygenation assembly or membrane oxygenator via a fluid conduit having an approximate pressure drop greater than the target pO2.

    摘要: Cooled and oxygenated blood is shunted from the heart or proximal aorta into the open ends of intercostal arteries severed during thoracoabdominal aortic surgery to prevent or minimize the effects of spinal ischemia. This cooled perfusion can be accomplished with a variety of perfusion assembly. For instance, a single vessel perfusion assembly can be employed to shunt the oxygenated blood from the heart or aorta to the lumen of a single intercostal artery. Cooled perfusion can also be performed with a branched multiple vessel perfusion assembly, which includes a branched conduit comprising a common portion and branch portions. The arterial perfusion assembly further comprises an inflow cannula formed at the end of the common portion and a plurality of outflow cannulae formed at the respective ends of the branch portions. The inflow cannula is configured to be inserted through the wall of the aorta, and the outflow cannulae are configured to be inserted within the open ends of the severed intercostal arteries. In operation, oxygenated blood flows from the aorta into the inflow cannula, through the blood flow conduit, out of the outflow cannulae, and into the lumens of the intercostal arteries. Cooled perfusion can also be performed with a chambered multiple vessel perfusion assembly, which includes a conduit with an inflow cannula formed at one end and a perfusion chamber formed at the other end. The perfusion chamber comprises a plurality of vessel engaging outlets through which the open ends of the severed intercostal arteries can be disposed. In operation, oxygenated blood flows from the aorta, through the blood flow conduit, into the perfusion chamber, and into the lumens of the intercostal arteries.

    摘要: The invention provides a medical device having first and second elongate tubular members. Each member comprises a manometer at a distal end and a lumen communicating with a port at the distal end. An expandable occlusive member is optionally mounted on either or both tubular members proximal to the distal port. A proximal end of each tubular member is adapted for attachment to an oxygenator and/or a pump for aspirating blood from an artery or a symptomatic carotid artery through the first tubular member and perfusing the blood into the contralateral carotid artery through the second tubular member, thereby providing a means of augmenting the collateral vasculature and maintaining perfusion distal to the offending lesion. The flow rate of blood can be controlled by inflating or deflating the balloon occluder. The device may employ a neuroprotective agent, hypothermic perfusion, and an atherectomy device or an extracorporeal pumping mechanism to remove a vascular occlusion and reestablish cerebral perfusion. Methods of using the devices in treating patients with acute stroke or occlusive cerebrovascular disease are also disclosed.

    摘要: A perfusion shunt apparatus and methods are described for isolating and selectively perfusing a segment of a patient's cardiovascular system and for directing circulatory flow around the isolated segment. An aortic perfusion shunt apparatus is configured for deployment within a patient's aortic arch and methods are described for isolating the aortic arch vessels from the aortic lumen, for selectively perfusing the arch vessels with a fluid and for directing blood flow within the aortic lumen through a shunt past the isolated arch vessels. The perfusion shunt apparatus may be mounted on a catheter or cannula for percutaneous introduction or for direct insertion into a circulatory vessel, such as the aorta. The perfusion shunt apparatus has application for protecting a patient from embolic stroke or hypoperfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass or cardiac surgery and also for selectively perfusing the cerebrovascular circulation with oxygenated blood or with neuroprotective fluids in the presence of risk factors, such as head trauma or cardiac insufficiency. The perfusion shunt apparatus will also find application for selective perfusion of other organ systems within the body.

    摘要: A multi-lumen catheter and method for providing antegrade perfusion to an ischemic region of the myocardium of a patient induced by a coronary or vascular deficiency, including a restriction or obstruction in the vessel such as an athesclerotic lesion or stenosis, embolism, thrombosis, vessel spasm, aneurysm, or the like. The distal tip of the catheter is introduced by a conventional percutaneous transluminal procedure via the femoral or brachial artery and advanced through the vascular system to a position closely proximate to the ischemic region. A volume of oxygenated blood is withdrawn into a lumen of the catheter from a position remote to the deficiency, circulated through a pump assembly and filter, and expelled from the distal tip of the catheter to increase the supply of oxygenated blood reaching the ischemic region. The catheter may be advanced directly to or past the deficiency within the same arterial vessel, or the volume of oxygenated blood may be supplied to the ischemic region via a collateral arterial pathway. An inflatable balloon may be used to anchor the distal tip of the catheter in a selected position and to block retrograde perfusion, and a pressure transducer may monitor pressure levels within the vessel and be used to responsively control the pressure at which the oxygenated blood is expelled.

    摘要: A catheter for retroperfusion of myocardium has an infusion tip, such that when retroperfusing myocardium, the tip extends within the coronary sinus to a depth in a range of about 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) from the coronary sinus ostium. The catheter also comprises a tube defining at least three channels. The channels include an infusion channel, which has a first infusion end coupled to an infusion port located in the infusion tip and a second infusion end coupled to an outlet orifice of a pump; a withdrawal channel, which has a first withdrawal end coupled to a withdrawal port located in the superior vena cava and a second withdrawal end coupled to an inlet orifice of the pump; and a pressure monitoring channel for monitoring pressure at pressure port at the infusion tip having a first end coupled to the pressure port and a second monitoring end coupled to a pressure sensor. The catheter also has a microprocessor for controlling the pump and measuring a rate of retroperfusate flow, whereby autologous venous blood entering the withdrawal port is continuously discharged at the infusion port at a flow rate in a range of about 5 to 50 mil./min. and at a pressure less than about 15 mm Hg. The tube and tip are made from biocompatible, non-thrombogenic material. Further, the catheter has remotely identifiable markers spaced along the tube, and a marker is located at said infusion tip. The invention also is a method for coronary sinus retroperfusion. The method includes the steps of inserting the catheter through the patient's jugular vein; guiding the catheter's infusion tip into the coronary sinus, such that when retroperfusing myocardium, the tip extends within the coronary sinus to a depth in a range of about 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) from the coronary sinus ostium; and providing a non-synchronized retroperfusate flow of autologous venous blood at a rate in a range of about 5 to 50 mil./min. and at a pressure less than about 15 mm Hg.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for variably controlling the ratio of blood to cardioplegia solution to be administered to a patient. A presently preferred embodiment of the apparatus of the invention comprises a multilumen tubing member having a blood supply lumen and three cardioplegia supply lumens, each having approximately the same tubing wall thickness, but having different inside diameters so that causing flow through different combinations of the cardioplegia lumens will result in different ratios of blood to cardioplegia. The four tubes comprising the multilumen tubing member are advantageously connected by web members, thereby facilitating use with a roller pump and minimizing the tangle of tubes.
