Morphometric analysis of intimal thickening secondary to stent placement in pig carotid arteries

Abstract: All arteries that underwent stent placement showed intimal thickening without changes in the tunica media at four weeks. Dissection and insertion of the delivery system without stent placement was associated with a lesser degree of intimal thickening.

“…The hyperplasia secondary to angioplasty and cobalt-chromium stent placement does not appear to differ from that found after placement of devices made from 316L-grade stainless steel or nitinol in previous studies conducted in our experimental unit. Various studies conducted by Pasa et al, Grudtner et al, Dutra et al e Castro et al [21][22][23][24] have shown the role of angioplasty-and stent-induced vascular injury, regardless of alloy and coating, in the intimal hyperplasia process.…”

“…Past studies have reported development of full-blown intimal hyperplasia, similar to that found in humans, within 28 days. [12][13][14]20 In prior studies, Pasa et al 21 conducted morphometric analysis of intimal thickening in the swine carotid artery after placement of 316L-grade stainless steel stents, without angioplasty, and concluded that intimal thickening induced by the stent is greater than that produced by injury of the contralateral artery by the introducer sheath. The mere presence of a stent, even in the absence of rupture of the internal elastic lamina, is therefore enough to produce intimal hyperplasia.…”

“…As mentioned, some animals are used as experimental model to evaluate vascular hyperplasia. Swine are often selected as a model for monitoring the lesion, due to the similarity with human in the response to vascular injury, so morphometric studies are carried out for controlled evaluation of chronic arterial injury [44]. Similarly, rodent models are also found to be useful because they are animals with short life cycle, available for genetic manipulation, presenting relative low cost laboratory maintenance, and mainly because of the similarity with humans in the spontaneous development of atherosclerosis during their lifetime [39].…”
