Biocompatibility aspects of new stent technology.
Stent implantation represents a major step forward since the introduction of coronary angioplasty. As indications continue to expand, better understanding of the early and late biocompatibility issues appears critical. Persisting challenges to the use of intracoronary stents include the prevention of early thrombus formation and late neointima development. Different metals and designs have been...
متن کاملMechanical Strength and Biocompatibility of Ultrafine-Grained Commercial Purity Titanium
The effect of grain refinement of commercial purity titanium by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on its mechanical performance and bone tissue regeneration is reported. In vivo studies conducted on New Zealand white rabbits did not show an enhancement of biocompatibility of ECAP-modified titanium found earlier by in vitro testing. However, the observed combination of outstanding mechanical...
متن کاملA new removable airway stent
BACKGROUND Malignant airway obstruction is a feared complication and will most probably occur more frequently in the future because of increasing cancer incidence and increased life expectancy in cancer patients. Minimal invasive treatment using airway stents represents a meaningful and life-saving palliation. We present a new removable airway stent for improved individualised treatment. METH...
متن کاملA novel bioabsorbable drug-eluting tracheal stent.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Currently available silicone and metallic stents for tracheal stenosis are associated with problems of granulations, mucus trapping, and difficult removals. Our aim was to develop a novel bioabsorbable tracheal stent with mitomycin C (MMC) drug elution to circumvent such problems. STUDY DESIGN A randomized animal study. METHODS Twenty-five rabbits were randomly assigne...
متن کاملLate stent recoil of the bioabsorbable everolimus-eluting coronary stent and its relationship with plaque morphology.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate late recoil of a novel bioabsorbable everolimus-eluting coronary stent (BVS), which is composed of a poly-L-lactic acid backbone, coated with a bioabsorbable polymer containing everolimus. BACKGROUND Little is known about the mechanical behavior of bioabsorbable polymer stents after deployment in diseased human coronary arteries. METHODS The study po...
