Abstract

Detachment of an implant from a delivery assembly can be electrolytic and provide an electrical current pathway through a fluid within a portion of a delivery system containing the delivery assembly. After the implant is located at a target location within a patient, a voltage potential is applied between (i) a delivery electrode electrically connected to an electrolytic detachment zone and (ii) an infusion electrode disposed outside of the patient and electrically connected to the electrolytic detachment zone via a fluid from a fluid source disposed outside of the patient. While applying the voltage potential, the fluid can be flushed from the fluid source past the detachment zone.

Claims (28)

1. A method of delivering an implant, the method comprising:

positioning a catheter with a proximal end region outside a patient and a distal end region at a target location within the patient, wherein an infusion electrode is disposed within a sidewall of the catheter with an exposed transmission portion at the catheter distal end region;

advancing an implant attached to a delivery wire by an electrolytically corrodible detachment zone through a lumen of the catheter until the implant is positioned distal to the catheter and the transmission portion of the infusion electrode is within 2 inches of the detachment zone, wherein a distal end portion of the delivery wire disposed distal to the detachment zone is covered with an electrically insulative material, and wherein the implant is attached to the delivery wire via a proximal hub coupled to the distal end portion of the delivery wire such that the proximal hub is separated from the distal end portion of the delivery wire by the electrically insulative material such that the implant is electrically isolated from the delivery wire; wherein the distal end portion of the delivery wire extends distally beyond the proximal hub and has a diameter larger than a diameter of the detachment zone;

applying a voltage potential between (i) a delivery electrode electrically coupled to the electrolytically corrodible detachment zone via the delivery wire and (ii) the infusion electrode electrically coupled to the electrolytically corrodible detachment zone via a fluid from a fluid source disposed outside of the patient; and

while applying the voltage potential, flushing the fluid from the fluid source past the electrolytically corrodible detachment zone.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein applying the voltage potential comprises:

connecting the delivery electrode to a portion of the delivery wire disposed outside of the patient; and

connecting the infusion electrode to a portion of the catheter disposed outside of the patient.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein applying the voltage potential comprises:

connecting the delivery electrode to a portion of the delivery wire disposed outside of the patient; and

connecting the infusion electrode to a portion of the fluid source disposed outside of the patient.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein applying the voltage potential comprises applying the voltage potential until the detachment zone has corroded.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voltage potential is applied until the implant is separated from the delivery wire.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fluid is flushed until the implant is separated from the delivery wire.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fluid comprises saline.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the infusion electrode extends within the sidewall from the proximal end region of the catheter to the distal end region of the catheter.

9. A method of delivering an implant, the method comprising:

positioning a catheter with a proximal end region outside a patient and a distal end region at a target location within the patient, wherein an infusion electrode is disposed within a sidewall of the catheter with an exposed transmission portion at the catheter distal end region;

advancing an implant attached to a delivery wire by an electrolytically corrodible detachment zone through a lumen of the catheter until the implant is positioned distal to the catheter and the transmission portion of the infusion electrode is within 2 inches of the detachment zone, wherein an electrically insulative material is disposed over a distal end portion of the delivery wire at a position distal to the detachment zone, and wherein the implant is coupled to the delivery wire via a hub coupled to the distal end portion of the delivery wire such that the hub is separated from the distal end portion of the delivery wire by the electrically insulative material; wherein the distal end portion of the delivery wire extends distally beyond the hub and has a diameter larger than a diameter of the detachment zone;

applying a voltage potential between (i) a delivery electrode electrically coupled to the electrolytically corrodible detachment zone via the delivery wire and (ii) the infusion electrode integrated within the catheter and extending in a longitudinal direction, the infusion electrode electrically coupled to the electrolytically corrodible detachment zone via a fluid within the catheter lumen; and

while applying the voltage potential, flushing the fluid from a fluid source past the electrolytically corrodible detachment zone.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the infusion electrode extends within the sidewall of the catheter from the proximal end region of the catheter to the distal end region of the catheter.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein a portion of the infusion electrode is exposed through the sidewall within 1 inch of the detachment zone.

12. A method of delivering an implant, the method comprising:

positioning a distal end region of a catheter at a treatment site, the catheter having a lumen and an integrated electrode within a sidewall of the catheter with an exposed transmission portion at the distal end region of the catheter;

advancing a medical device coupled to a distal end region of a core wire with an electrolytically corrodible detachment zone through the catheter lumen until the medical device is positioned distal to the catheter and the transmission portion of the integrated electrode is within 2 inches of the detachment zone, wherein the distal end region of the core wire is electrically insulated and the detachment zone is uninsulated, and wherein the medical device is coupled wire via the distal end region such that an electrically insulative material is disposed between the core wire and the medical device, thereby electrically insulating the medical device with respect to the core wire; wherein the distal end region of the core wire extends distally beyond a proximal hub of the medical device and has a diameter larger than a diameter of the detachment zone;

applying a voltage potential between (i) a delivery electrode electrically coupled to the electrolytically corrodible detachment zone via the core wire and (ii) the integrated electrode extending in a longitudinal direction within the catheter, the integrated electrode electrically coupled to the electrolytically corrodible detachment zone via a fluid within the catheter lumen; and

while applying the voltage potential, flushing the fluid from a fluid source past the electrolytically corrodible detachment zone.
