(Abstract)
Background:Stent thrombosis and late restenosis are still major limitations in the clinical use of coronary stenting. Heparin-coated stent may reduce the incidences of stent thrombosis and restenosis. Heparin-coated stents were compared with control stents in a porcine coronary stent restenosis model in order to evaluate the effects of heparin-coated stent on stent restenosis.
Methods:Heparin was coated on a stent by deposition of an ultra-thin polymeric film containing amine groups by means of plasma polymerization. And then stent was immersed in heparin solution. Stent overdilation injury (stent:artery=1.3:1.0) was performed with bare (Group Ⅰ, n=4) and heparin-coated (Group Ⅱ, n=5) MAC stents in porcine coronary arteries. Follow-up quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) was performed at 4 weeks after stenting. The histopathologic assessments of stented porcine coronary arteries were compared in between 2 groups.
Results:1) Luminal area of stented artery was 7.05±1.25 mm2 in Group Ⅰ and 7.67±2.85 mm2 in Group Ⅱ, which were not different between two Groups. 2) Histopathologic stenosis of Group Ⅰ was 35.7±13.2%, which was higher than 28.6±14.7% of Group Ⅱ (p<0.05). Ratio of neointima/media was 1.16±0.52 in Group Ⅰ and 0.87±0.31 in Group Ⅱ and neointimal area was higher in Group Ⅰ than in Group Ⅱ (3.81±1.78 mm2 vs. 2.82 ±1.11 mm2, p<0.05 respectively). 3) PCNA (Proliferating cell nuclear antigen) index of GroupⅠ was 10.0±2.2%, which was higher than in Group Ⅱ (6.8±4.0%).
Conclusions:Heparin-coated MAC stent may be effective in the inhibition of neointimal proliferation in a porcine stent restenosis model.
