Definitions
- the present invention is related to a system (apparatus and method) for detection of blood pressure in a blood vessel, and in particular to a system having a guide wire with a sensor for sensing pressure of the blood.
- Interventional cardiologists rely on guide wires to reach the treatment site inside a blood vessel, such as the coronary arteries. Instead of utilizing the guide wire as a strictly mechanical or guiding tool, pressure and flow wires are being promoted as a dual function guide wire, providing mechanical guidance and hemodynamic information at the same time. Based on the results of the FAME study, FFR
- the present invention recognizes that a truly wireless transmission, or transmission through a sheath contact, of pressure data from a resonance circuit at a distal end of a cardiovascular guide wire to a pressure monitoring system greatly enhances clinical utility because catheters can be inserted over the wire without having to disconnect a handle.
- the wire really functions as a mechanical guide for catheter insertions and as a hemodynamic measurement tool.
- a two-contact version while requiring a handle still has an advantage over current wires in that the guide wire characteristics are not compromised through electrical wires running inside the guide wire since the inner core wire and outer hypotube, of which a typical wire consists, will be utilized as electrical conductors.
- the present invention contemplates a system for detection of blood pressure in a blood vessel, where the system comprises a guide wire, a coil provided at a distal end of the guide wire, and a capacitor provided at a distal end of the guide wire.
- the coil and the capacitor are coupled to each other to form a resonance circuit, and at least one of the coil and the capacitor is responsive to changes in pressure of fluid external to the guide wire such that the resonance circuit has a resonance frequency that varies in accordance with changes in pressure of the external fluid.
- the resonance circuit has an LC parameter (inductance or capacitance) that varies in accordance with pressure of a fluid surrounding a distal end portion of the guide wire.
- a blood-pressure detection system includes a guide wire having a distal portion with a coil and pressure sensitive capacitive element providing a first resonance circuit which varies in its resonance frequency depending on the pressure of blood external to the guide wire when in a blood vessel of a patient's body.
- the floppy tip that a typical guide wire has at the distal end may serve as the coil or inductor of the resonance circuit.
- the resonance frequency which is indicative of blood pressure, is detected through two electrical contacts at the proximal wire end.
- the resonance frequency is read via a single brush contact inside a sheath through which the guide wire is inserted and a ground electrode on the patient.
- a detector includes a second resonance circuit which is operatively connectable to the first resonance circuit (on the guide wire). The detector incorporates electronics for determining the frequency when the first and second circuits are in resonance with one another. This frequency of resonance corresponds to blood pressure about the distal end of the guide wire.
- the pressure sensitive capacitive element of the first resonance circuit represents a variable capacitive element with at least one pressure sensitive element, e.g., a membrane, which varies the capacitance responsive to the amount of pressure applied external of the guide wire onto the membrane.
- pressure sensitive capacitors are well known and described in Journal of Micromechanics and Micro- engineering, Volume 7, July 2007: A fast telemetric pressure and temperature sensor system for medical applications; R Schlierf, U Horst, M Ruhl,T Schmitz- Rode, W Mokwa and U Schnakenberg; Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, Volume 73, issues l-2, arch 1999: Low power integrated pressure sensor system for medical applications; C Hierold, B Clasbrummel, D Behrend, T Scheiter, M Steger, K
- the first resonance circuit may be integrated at the distal end of a typical guide wire, such as a coronary (14/1000 of an inch) guide wire utilizing the floppy tip of the guide wire as an inductor.
- the resonance frequency is exemplarily detected wirelessly through an external second resonance circuit which supplies electromagnetic energy to the first resonance circuit inside the guide wire.
- the transmitted energy to first resonance circuit from the second resonance circuit varies depending on resonance frequency fluctuations caused by a capacitive element of the pressure sensor which is coupled to the coil.
- the pressure sensitive element of the guide wire's resonance circuit is the inductor or coil.
- a method measuring blood pressure comprises, in accordance with the present invention, inserting a distal end portion of an elongate wire into a cardiovascular system of a patient, where the distal end portion is provided with an LC resonance circuit. The method further comprises detecting a resonance frequency of the LC resonance circuit while the circuit is inside the vascular system of the patient and determining a blood pressure value from the detected resonance frequency.
- the method further comprises monitoring the resonance circuit for a change in the resonance frequency owing to a variation in the LC parameter induced by a blood pressure change and; determining a second blood pressure value from the changed resonance frequency. Accordingly, blood pressure can be monitored continuously.
- the LC parameter is inductance
- the method further comprises varying the inductance in accordance with blood pressure by changing a physical parameter taken from the group consisting of coil length, number of active windings in an inductor, and extent of insertion of a movable ferromagnetic core member into an inductor or coil.

- FIG. 5 shows the mechanical arrangement of a floppy tip coil 14 and a capacitive sensor 20 forming a pressure sensing resonance circuit.
- the guide wire 11 may be inserted into the cardiovascular system of a patient. Small flexible devices, called catheters, may be guided over the guide wire 11 inserted through blood vessels and vascular structures of the patient, such as to the site of a damaged or diseased blood vessel, as typically performed in interventional cardiology.
- a detection unit 16 has a receiver housing 16a disposable external of the patient's body in the vicinity of the resonance circuit consisting of sensor 12 and coil 14.
- receiver housing 16a carries an inductor 25 (FIG. 3) that may take the form of a flat coil, particularly a printed coil, attachable to the patient's back roughly at the location of the heart in case of coronary artery interventions. Such printed circuit coils are preferably disposable.
- the receiver housing 16a may be in contact with the patient's skin surface or introduced within the patient .
- Information from the sensor 12 is wirelessly detected by the receiver (detection resonance circuit 24, see FIG. 3) through the human body (soft or hard tissue).
- the body 1 lb of the guide wire 11, which is integrated with the sensor 12 and the coil 14, may be a typical guide wire used in interventional cardiology or interventional radiology (i.e., composed of non-corrosive
- the sensor 12 and detection unit 16 provide wireless detection of a physical variable, in particular blood pressure at such site, thus eliminating the need for a mechanical connection between the sensor and external detection equipment of the prior art.
- FIG. 2 shows the distal portion 1 la of the guide wire 11 in more detail.
- the distal portion 1 la is a cone integrated to the body 1 lb at the distal end of the guide wire.
- the sensor 12 comprises a pressure sensitive element 18 mounted in the guide wire to detect the blood pressure surrounding the wire 11 , and further comprises a variable capacitor 20, which is referred to herein as a pressure sensitive capacitive element.
- Pressure sensitive element 18 is connected to or part of a variable capacitor 20 whose capacitance value varies with amount of pressure upon element 18 from the blood about the distal portion 1 la.
- the pressure sensitive element 18 has an outer surface 18a exposed to blood 21 about the distal wire portion 1 la, and may be biased, such as by a spring, away from capacitor 20.
- capacitor 20 may include a first plate element 20a and a second plate element 20b, where the latter is movably mounted relative to plate element 20a and guide wire 11 and coupled or entrained to pressure sensitive element 18 so that motion of the pressure sensitive element causes a change in the distance between plate 20b and 20a.
- Other capacitive pressure sensors may also be used, such as described for example in Sensors and Actuators A: Physical Vol 73, Issuesl-2,9 March 1999, Pages 58-67.
- the position of the coil 14 and sensor 12 in the distal portion 1 la of the guide wire may either be as shown in FIG. 1, in which the coil is more distal than the sensor 12, or vice versa, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the coil 14 provides an inductance which may utilize the coil tip (or sections thereof) at the distal end of the guide wire, often referred to as the floppy tip.
- This inductor 14 and pressure sensitive capacitor 20 form a resonance circuit 23 with a resonance frequency varying with blood pressure fluctuations.
- the capacitor can be of fixed value while the inductance of the coil changes according to the surrounding blood pressure. This can be accomplished by changing the length of a coil 56 or 60 according to surrounding blood pressure as shown in FIGS. 11A and 1 IB or FIGS. 12A and 12B. In the approach of FIGS. 12A and 12B, windings 58 of coil 60 are pressed in a longitudinal or axial direction of the guide wire in response to fluid pressure 61 exerted in that direction.
- Inductance changes can also be related to the surrounding blood pressure by changing the number of active windings of a coil or by changing the position of a ferromagnetic core 66 inside the coil as shown in FIGS. 13A and l3B.
- an external or extracorporeal electro-magnetic field is created in response to an applied voltage by an external resonance (or detector) circuit 24 of the detection unit 16, comprising a capacitor 26 and an inductor (or coil) 25 as shown in FIG. 3.
- an external resonance (or detector) circuit 24 of the detection unit 16 comprising a capacitor 26 and an inductor (or coil) 25 as shown in FIG. 3.
- Detuning of the circuit 23 through capacitance changes will vary the amount of transmitted energy to the external circuit 24.
- a blood pressure recording is provided, as via a current sensor 28.
- pressure values are detected without making an electrical connection by wire at the proximal guide-wire end or by switching the detector unit 16 into a receive-only mode relying on very weak signals being emitted from a free oscillation of the sensor circuit 12 after the power to the detector circuit 16 has been cut, as described in US Patent No. 6,517,481 .
- the detection circuit 24 may be disposed in housing 16a and electronically connected (e.g., via wires 16b) to the detection unit 16 which supplies power and varies the frequency of resonance circuit 24 in the operative frequency range of circuits 23 and 24, and a change in power/current monitor 28 detects the resonance frequency when circuits 23 and 24 are in resonance.
- the coil 25 of detector circuit 24 may be located in an insertion sheath 62 rather than housing 16a as shown in FIG. 14.
- the sheath 62 may be located inside the aorta of the patient and the distal sheath end at the aortic arch and all devices (guide wire 11, balloon catheters etc) are advanced through the sheath.
- the guide wire 11 typically contains a core wire which may be fabricated out of a ferromagnetic material to even further improve coupling, since sensor coil 14 and detector coil 25 surround the same ferromagnetic core as shown in FIG 14.
- Only one LC circuit 23 is provided in the guide wire 1 1 : an inductance L consisting of wire windings or coil 14 in the floppy tip 1 la of the wire 11 and a capacitor 20 which changes capacitance C with blood pressure.
- the inductance L of a distal pressure-sensing coil or inductor may be varied by moving, in response to blood pressure, a ferromagnetic core member 66 inside a guide wire coil 68 which is connected together with a fixed-value capacitor 70 in a resonance circuit 72, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B.
- the resonance frequency of an LC circuit may be varied in accordance with blood pressure by changing the number of active windings of a variable-inductance coil.
- This change in the number of active windings may be accomplished by shifting a winding-contact element and the coil relative to one another.
- the inductance is adjusted by compressing, through blood pressure, the coil 60 as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B. Changing the length of the coil 60, in response to a blood pressure-induced axial force serves to vary the inductance of the coil.
- a membrane 74 surrounding the coil 56 is compressed in a transverse or radial direction by the surrounding blood pressure 75.
- contact-less detection of a remote sensor is accomplished by detecting the resonant frequency of the sensor circuit 23 while the external detector circuit 24 is being powered up.
- the detection operation works as follows: the external high frequency oscillator sweeps across a frequency band. An electromagnetic field of different frequencies is generated while the power consumption of the external high-frequency oscillator is being monitored.
- the sensing LC circuit 23 absorbs a portion of the RF power of external high frequency oscillator only at its resonant frequency. The power, with which the external oscillator is supplied, will exhibit a change when the external circuit 24 and the sensing circuit 23 are in resonance. This change in power consumption of the external high frequency oscillator represents the resonance frequency of the LC sensor 12 which in turn is indicative of the blood pressure.
- the detection unit 16 may have electronics for detecting when the power change occurs and displaying the corresponding blood pressure reading on a display. Such electronics may have a programmed controller or microprocessor (or other logic device), which calculates (or lookups up in a table in a memory) the corresponding blood pressure for the detected resonance frequency for output to the display.
- the relationship of resonance frequency to blood pressure may be in accordance with an equation, or calibrated with circuits 23 and 24 to provide a curve or look-up-table relating frequency to blood pressure stored in memory of the electronics for later use. See for example, see monitoring material properties in: Butler; Sensors and Actuators A 102 (2002)61-66.
- the blood pressure monitoring process may be done periodically during interventional procedures or as needed to classify the hemodynamic significance of a lesion, so that the blood pressure about the site of intervention can be accurately measured.
- Detection unit 16 is configured for detecting a change in blood pressure by detecting an absorption of less electromagnetic energy by resonance circuit 23 in response to the change in the inductance or capacitance of the pressure-sensitive LC circuit element. Detection unit may be programmed to calculate, or look up in a table, the pressure corresponding to the amount of reduction of energy absorption.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B are two photographs illustrating resonance between two resonance circuits illustrating the operation of the present invention providing a sensor circuit 123, which corresponds to and functions the same way as sensor circuit 23, and a detector circuit 124, which corresponds to and functions the same way as sensor circuit 24 of system 10.
- the sensor circuit 123 for illustrative purposes is not shown in the desired form and configuration described earlier.
- the detector circuit 124 may also be in a different form than shown.
- FIG. 4A shows the sensor circuit and the detector circuit in resonance and accordingly a high current on the oscilloscope' screen 134 at this frequency.

- FIG. 4B illustrates the sensor circuit detuned with an additional capacitor 132 connected to capacitor 131, which reduces the current in the detector circuit and hence the observed current is now lower on the oscilloscope's screen 134.
- the frequency oscillating the detector circuit is now at the different frequency than the new resonance frequency of the sensor circuit due to the combined capacitance of capacitors 132 and 131 in the LC circuit 23 with coil 130.
- FIG. 6 is an electric circuit diagram showing the structure of the 2 contact pressure wire version.
- a resonance sensing circuit 80 at the distal wire end is identical to the one described above for the wireless version. Instead of wirelessly determining the change of the resonance frequency, two contacts 82 and 84 at the proximal wire end 86 are utilized.
- FIG. 8 demonstrates the change in resonance frequencies for capacitive values of about 13 pF in screen ffrl, about 8 pF in screen ffr2 and about 7 pF in screen ffr3.
- a change of about 5 to 6pF represents the physiological pressure range in this experiment and allows for unmistaken detection of the blood pressure values.
- FIG. 7 shows typical guide wire components utilized as electrical conductors to avoid having to integrate additional electrical wires into the guide wire structure, which negatively affects wire handling.
- the compromised wire handling of the commercially available pressure sensing guide wires represents a significant barrier towards widespread use of pressure sensing guide wires.
- FIG. 7 shows typical guide wire components utilized as electrical conductors to avoid having to integrate additional electrical wires into the guide wire structure, which negatively affects wire handling.
- the compromised wire handling of the commercially available pressure sensing guide wires represents a significant barrier towards widespread use of pressure sensing guide wires.
- the wire handling can be equal to non-pressure sensing guide wires by requiring only 2 electrical conductors in the form of the standard wire components of hypotube 88 and core wire 90).
- Core wire 90 is connected to a capacitor 87 and inductor or coil 89 of an LC pressure- sensing circuit 91.

Instead a sheath 94, which is part of any interventional procedure, contains a brush contact 96 to connect to the proximal end 92 of the guide wire 98, while a distal end 100 of the wire is in electrical contact via an electrode 102 with the patient P, who in turn is connected to ground potential through a ground electrode 104.

- the other end of the resonance circuit 106 is connected to the wire body 98, either the hypotube and or core wire.
- the proximal end portion 92 of the wire 98 is not insulated in order to make contact with the contact brush 96 within the sheath as shown in FIG.10.
- a wireless coupling is accomplished with an external radio transmitter 112, as shown in FIG. 15.
- An antenna 1 14 of the external radio transmitter 112 interacts with the proximal guide wire end 116, which acts as a receiver antenna, as shown in FIG. 16. Except for the coupling through antennas this configuration functions as described for the wireless system 10 with the detector unit 16 and the guide wire 1 1 as shown in FIG. 1.
- an external or detector resonance circuit 32 may include a printed disposable coil 34 attachable to a patient near an intervention site. Coil 34 may be embedded in a strip 36 of polymeric material that is provided with an adhesive layer 38 and a removable cover sheet 40. A capacitor 42 of the LC resonance circuit 32 may be provided in strip 36 or separately therefrom.
- a resonance circuit on a guide wire may have a movable electrical contact 44 shiftable relative to a coil 46 so that changes in pressure 48 of an external fluid (e.g., blood) results in shifting of the contact relative to the coil and changing the active length 50 of the coil, thereby varying an inductance of coil and concomitantly the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit.
- the movable electrical contact 44 is coupled to a plate or disk 52 that moves relative to the guide wire in response to changes in external fluid pressure 48.
