Endovascular anastomotic connector device, delivery system, and methods of delivery and use
An endovascular anastomotic connector and method of using the same. The endovascular anastomotic connector includes a vascular conduit and a supply conduit. The vascular conduit has proximal and distal ends that reside within a vascular structure. The supply conduit extends at an angle from the vascular conduit. The proximal end of the supply conduit is configured to be attached to an auxiliary device.
1. A delivery system comprising:
an anastomotic connector including:
a vascular conduit having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therebetween, wherein the vascular conduit is configured to reside within a vascular structure; and
a supply conduit having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therebetween, wherein the distal end of the supply conduit forms a bifurcation joint with the vascular conduit and the proximal end of the supply conduit is configured to extend from the vascular structure and couple to an auxiliary device; and
a delivery subassembly, the delivery subassembly having an assembled position including:
a multi-lumen hub having a first lumen and second lumen;
a multi-lumen delivery shaft including a first lumen and a second lumen, the multi-lumen delivery shaft extending through the first lumen of the multi-lumen hub then through the lumen of the supply conduit, through the lumen of the distal end of the vascular conduit, and distally from the distal end of the vascular conduit; and
a secondary delivery shaft extending through the second lumen of the multi-lumen hub then into the proximal end of the vascular conduit, through the lumen of the vascular conduit, and distally from the distal end of the vascular conduit, wherein a distal portion of the secondary delivery shaft extending distally from the distal end of the vasculature conduit and is received by a distal portion of the first lumen of the multi-lumen delivery shaft extending distally from the distal end of the vascular conduit.
2. The delivery system of claim 1 , wherein the first lumen is slotted and configured to receive the secondary delivery shaft.
3. The delivery system of claim 1 , wherein the multi-lumen delivery shaft includes the second lumen for receiving a guide-wire.
4. The delivery system of claim 1 further comprising:
a delivery sheath configured to receive the delivery system and to move relative thereto.
5. The delivery system of claim 4 , wherein the delivery sheath is constructed of a peel-away sheath design.
6. A delivery system comprising:
a bifurcated stent having a body portion and a branch portion extending angularly from the body portion;
a multi-lumen hub including a first lumen and second lumen; and
an assembled position including:
a multi-lumen delivery shaft extending through the first lumen of the multi-lumen hub, then through a lumen of the branch portion, through the lumen of a distal end of the body portion, and distally from the distal end of the body portion; and
a secondary delivery shaft extending through the second lumen of the multi-lumen hub, then into a proximal end of the body portion, through the lumen of the body portion, and distally from the distal end of the body portion, wherein a distal portion of the secondary delivery shaft extending distally from the distal end of the body portion and is received by a distal portion of the first lumen of the multi-lumen delivery shaft extending distally from the distal end of the body portion.
7. The delivery system of claim 6 further comprising:
a delivery sheath configured to receive the delivery system and to move relative thereto.
