6-Month Follow-Up of a Novel Biodegradable Drug-Eluting Stent Composed of Poly-L-Lactic Acid and Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticles in Porcine Coronary Artery

Abstract: At six-month post-implantation, the PowerStent Absorb stents maintained their structural strength and functional performance. The development of restenosis was controlled, no stent thrombosis was observed and the stents were fully re-endothelialized. These results suggest the PowerStent Absorb stent is safe and effective for up to 6 months when implanted in porcine coronary arteries.

“…The porcine model of restenosis after stenting was generated as our previously described. 22 , 23 After porcine were sacrificed, the coronary arteries were removed from the heart and fixed with 10% formalin, then paraffin embedded and sectioned into 5 μm. The sections were then stained with haematoxylin–eosin, and observed under the microscope.…”

“…The total protein from HASMCs was extracted by RIPA as previously described. 3,4 The Pierce™ BCA Protein Assay Kit (23,225,Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to determine the protein concentration. The protein was denatured at 95 C with 5 Â Loading buffer, 20 μg of total protein was loaded and separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.…”

“…The second generation of BS was composed of biodegradable polymers that generate more innocuous products during their degradation than metallic oxides. One of the most frequently used biodegradable polymers is PLLA due to its high biocompatibility ( Xiao et al, 2015 ). In a period of 12–18 months, PLLA is metabolized into Carbon dioxide and water via the Krebs cycle with no toxic products resulting from the degradation.…”

“… 248 The long-term safety and efficacy evaluation of these stents in porcine revealed minimal restenosis and complete re-endothelialization, with no stent thrombosis. 249 A fully bioresorbable PLLA/ACP nanoparticle composite scaffold containing sirolimus that could release more than 70% of drug within 28 days, and completely degrade the polymer matrix within 2–3 years in vivo , was also studied. This stent showed a similar safety profile as sirolimus-eluting stents, with long-term inhibition of neointimal proliferation in pigs.…”
