Abstract

The present disclosure describes treatment of the vasculature of a patient with an expandable implant. The implant is constrained to a reduced delivery diameter for delivery within the vasculature by at least one sleeve. The implant can be constrained to other diameters, such as an intermediate diameter. The sleeves can be expanded, allowing for expansion of the diameter of the expandable implant, by disengaging a coupling member from the sleeve or sleeves from outside of the body of the patient. The expandable implant can comprise a steering line or lines which facilitate bending and steering of the expandable implant through the vasculature of a patient.

Claims (31)

1. A catheter assembly comprising:

a catheter;

an expandable device arranged near a distal end of the catheter;

a monosleeve coupled about at least a portion of the expandable device, the monosleeve operable to constrain the expandable device at a collapsed configuration and an intermediate configuration;

a primary coupling member coupled to the monosleeve, the primary coupling member operable to be fully disengaged from the monosleeve resulting in the expandable device being released from the collapsed configuration toward the intermediate configuration that includes a diameter greater than the collapsed portion along the portion of the expandable device about which the monosleeve is coupled when the secondary coupling member is coupled to the monosleeve; and

a secondary coupling member coupled to the monosleeve, the secondary coupling member operable to be disengaged from the monosleeve resulting in the expandable device being released from the collapsed configuration toward a deployed configuration that includes a diameter greater than the intermediate configuration along the portion of the expandable device about which the monosleeve is coupled when the primary coupling member is disengaged from the monosleeve.

2. The catheter assembly of claim 1 , wherein the monosleeve includes a plurality of primary holes through which the primary coupling member is stitched when engaged with the monosleeve.

3. The catheter assembly of claim 1 , wherein the monosleeve includes a plurality of secondary holes through which the secondary coupling member is stitched when engaged with the monosleeve.

4. The catheter assembly of claim 1 , further comprising two steering lines releasably coupled to the expandable device, the steering lines each including circumferential portions diametrically staggered at a proximal end and a distal end of the expandable medical device and at least one linear portion extending from about the proximal end to about the distal end of the expandable medical device.

5. The catheter assembly of claim 4 , wherein the at least one linear portion of the two lines are essentially parallel with one another across a significant portion of the expandable device and essentially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the expandable device.

6. The catheter assembly of claim 5 , wherein the steering lines are configured to bend the expandable device in response to tension applied to the steering lines.

7. The catheter assembly of claim 6 , further comprising a handle and mechanisms for applying tension to the steering lines arranged at a trailing end of the catheter.

8. The catheter assembly of claim 5 , wherein the expandable device includes a stent coupled to a graft, and the steering lines are woven through the stent and the graft.

9. The catheter assembly of claim 5 , wherein the linear portions of the steering lines are parallel with one another.

10. The catheter assembly of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate configuration includes a diameter greater than the collapsed configuration along an entire length of the expandable device when the secondary coupling member is coupled to the monosleeve, and wherein the deployed configuration includes a diameter greater than the intermediate configuration along the entire length of the expandable device when the primary coupling member is disengaged from the monosleeve.

11. A catheter assembly comprising:

a catheter;

an expandable device arranged near a distal end of the catheter;

a monosleeve coupled about the expandable device, the monosleeve operable to constrain the expandable device at a collapsed configuration and an intermediate configuration; and

two steering lines releasably coupled to the expandable device, the steering lines each being positioned radially interior of the monosleeve, wherein the at least one linear portion of the two lines are essentially parallel with one another across a significant portion of the expandable device and essentially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the expandable device.

12. The catheter assembly of claim 11 , wherein the two steering lines include circumferential portions diametrically staggered at a proximal end and a distal end of the expandable medical device and at least one linear portion extending from about the proximal end to about the distal end of the expandable medical device.

13. The catheter assembly of claim 11 , wherein the steering lines are configured to bend the expandable device in response to tension applied to the steering lines.

14. The catheter assembly of claim 13 , further comprising a handle and mechanisms for applying tension to the steering lines arranged at a trailing end of the catheter.

15. The catheter assembly of claim 11 , wherein the expandable device includes a stent coupled to a graft, and the steering lines are woven through the stent and the graft.

16. The catheter assembly of claim 11 , wherein the linear portions of the steering lines are parallel with one another.

17. A catheter assembly comprising:

a catheter;

an expandable device arranged near a distal end of the catheter;

a monosleeve coupled about the expandable device, the monosleeve operable to constrain the expandable device at a collapsed configuration and an intermediate configuration;

a primary coupling member coupled to the monosleeve, the primary coupling member operable to be disengaged from the monosleeve resulting in the expandable device being released from the collapsed configuration toward the intermediate configuration when the secondary coupling member is coupled to the monosleeve; and

a secondary coupling member coupled to the monosleeve, the secondary coupling member operable to be disengaged from the monosleeve resulting in the expandable device being released from the collapsed configuration toward a deployed configuration when the primary coupling member is disengaged from the monosleeve, wherein the at least one linear portion of the two lines are essentially parallel with one another across a significant portion of the expandable device and essentially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the expandable device.
