Novel Polymer-Free Everolimus-Eluting Stent Fabricated using Femtosecond Laser Improves Re-endothelialization and Anti-inflammation

Abstract: The aim of this study was to fabricate a novel polymer-free everolimus-eluting stent with nanostructure using a femtosecond laser (FSL). The stent were coated with everolimus (EVL) using FSL and electrospinning processes. The surface was rendered hydrophobic, which negatively affected both platelet adhesion (82.1%) and smooth muscle cell response. Animal study was performed using a porcine coronary restenosis model. The study groups were divided into 1) bare metal stent (BMS), 2) poly(L-lactide) (PLA)-based EV… Show more

“…Studies have identified stent design variables, such as polymer coatings, drugs, drug release kinetics and strut thickness that affect reendothelialization [54][55][56][57]. Although the understanding that thicker stent strut dimensions are associated with a greater risk of thrombosis, a mechanism for how flow and the stent strut thickness and geometry affect endothelialization has not been established [58].…”

“…Previously, we have reported that the formation of micropores on the surface of medical devices can have a positive effect on cells [ 14 ]. Furthermore, it has been reported that surface modification via micropore and patterning can improve the function of the metal as an implanted material by controlling the amount of drug in it [ 15 ].…”

“…Therapy against oxidative stress is the promising strategy for treatment of artery stent-induced restenosis [18]. The clinical researches demonstrate that the inflammatory response plays a key role in the artery neointimal hyperplasia and coronary instent restenosis in the patients with coronary heart disease after coronary stent implantation [19].…”

“…The study shows that the long stent implantations increase oxidative stress and inflammatory response. The oxidative stress and inflammatory response play the important roles in development of neointimal hyperplasia and instent restenosis in the patients after coronary stent implantations [18,19]. ACR plays a crucial role in the progression of atherosclerosis through the inflammatory response and oxidative stress [1,20].…”
