Patent Ductus and Vascular Occlusion Devices Michelle Carlsen Elaine Isom Brad Klosterman Ornob Roy Advisor: Dr. Thomas Doyle
Project Definition • Objective: Design, build, and market an occlusion device which can be used to close the Patent Ductus and cylindrical vasculature • Presentation topics: • Background • solution • accomplishments • current status • future plans
Background:Patent Ductus • Condition affecting Infants/Children • ~ 10-12% of congenital defects • 40 cases/yr at Vanderbilt • > 20,000 nationwide • Connection btw pulmonary artery and aorta
Background:General Vasculature • Less common than PDA • Cylindrical shape • Reroute blood flow • Isolate defective vasculature • Impede significant flow
Diagnosis: Heart murmur Extreme weight loss Stunted growth Irregular blood flow* * General vasculature Consequences: Irreversible pulmonary-vascular disease Congestive heart failure Hemorrhaging (e.g. diabetics, post-surgical patients)* PDA/ Vascular Conditions
Biocompatible Quick endothelialization (1-2months) Delivered through a catheter < 2mm diameter Simple, Retrievable Inexpensive Various size (2 to 10mm) Form-fitting Maximum effectiveness Internal device Complete closure Standard catheter size Minimum training Cost effective - comparatively Universal Device Immovable and closure No leakage Requirements
Endomethiasin initial form of treatment steroid medicine (vasoconstrictor) restricted to premature infants Suturing effective invasive, long recovery Coils inexpensive not form fitting Titanium devices form fitting very expensive Ultrasonic Devices non-invasive high-intensity not human tested Current Solutions
Accomplishments • Identification of associated diseases • Analysis of previous device designs • Studies in biocompatible materials (Prof. Kinser, Material Sciences) • Fluoroscopy viewing • SDRC I-DEAS CAD/CAM modeling • Began mock circulation system
Goal allow for quick and accurate prototyping marketing and visualization I-DEAS Modeling
Current Status • 3D modeling using SDRC I-DEAS • Material search • 4 design concepts • Large scale simulation: drawings, materials, construction
Design 1 • Advantages: • adjust on contact • expandable polymer • form-fitting (PDA & general) • Disadvantages: • FDA • expensive (polymer & wire • retrievable??
Design 2 • Advantages: • form-fitting (PDA & general) • collapsible (>500%) • endothelialize quickly • inexpensive • Disadvantages: • complex • possible limited retrieval
Design 3 • Advantages • very rigid • easily retrievable • adjustable • Disadvantages • difficult to maneuver • expensive
Design 4 • Advantages: • form-fitting (PDA & general) • retrievable • simple • inexpensive • Disadvantages: • expansion limitations?? • Two materials
Material Search • Zotefoams • plastazote foam (polyethylene) • Medicell • medical sponges • Titanium/wire material • Thrombosing fibers • Polyurethane foam (earplugs) • Polyurethane that is modified with lower alkyl Sulfonate and L(L-glutamic acid co L-leucine) • biocompatible, used in surgical implantations and blood contacting procedures
Suitable Materials • Hydromer • Medicell Hydrophilic Open Cell Medical Foam • consists of polyurethane and polyvinylpyrrolidone polymers • Foamex • Functional Flexibility • Titanium Feet
