ABSTRACT: Stent-based delivery of sirolimus has been shown to reduce neointimal hyperplasia significantly. However, the long-term effect of the polymer is thought to initiate and sustain an inflammatory response and contribute to the occurrence of late complications. Our study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the BuMA biodegradable drug-coated sirolimus-eluting stent (BSES) for inhibiting neointimal hyperplasia in a porcine coronary model. Four types of stents were implanted at random in different coronary arteries of the same pig: BSES (n = 24), bare metal stent (BMS) (n = 24), biodegradable polymer coated stent without drug (PCS) (n = 24) and only poly (n-butyl methacrylate) base layer coated stent (EGS) (n = 23). In total, 26 animals underwent successful random placement of 95 oversized stents in the coronary arteries. Coronary angiography was performed after 28 days, 90 days and 240 days of stent implantation. After 14 days, 28 days, 90 days and 240 days, 6 animals at each timepoint were sacrificed for histomorphologic analysis. The 28-day, 90-day and 240-day results of quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) showed reduction in luminal loss (LL) in the BSES group when compared with the BMS group; (0.20 ± 0.35) mm vs. (0.82 ± 0.51) mm (P = 0.035), (0.20 ± 0.30) mm vs. (0.93 ± 0.51) mm (P = 0.013), and (0.18 ± 0.16) mm vs. (0.19 ± 0.24) mm (P = 0.889), respectively. By 28-day, 90-day and 240-day histomorphomeric analysis results, there was also a corresponding significant reduction in neointimal tissue proliferation with similar injury scores of BSES compared with the BMS control; average neointimal area (0.90 ± 0.49) mm(2) vs. (2.16 ± 1.29) mm(2) (P = 0.049), (1.53 ± 0.84) mm(2) vs. (3.41 ± 1.55) mm(2) (P = 0.026), and (2.43 ± 0.95) mm(2) vs. (3.12 ± 1.16) mm(2) (P = 0.228), respectively. High magnification histomorphologic examination revealed similar inflammation scores and endothelialization scores in both the BSES and BMS groups. The BuMA biodegradable drug-coated sirolimus-eluting stents can significantly reduce neointimal hyperplasia and in-stent restenosis. Re-endothelialization of the BuMA stent is as good as that of the BMS in the porcine coronary model due to the reduced inflammation response to the BuMA stent.Chinese medical journal 11/2012; 125(22):4083-7. · 0.86 Impact Factor -
Article: Renal insufficiency is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality for patients with acute myocardial infarction receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the relationship between renal function and clinical outcomes among patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (ASTEMI), who were treated with emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). 420 patients hospitalized in Peking University First Hospital, diagnosed with ASTEMI treated with emergency (PCI) from January 2001 to June 2011 were enrolled in this study. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was used as a measure of renal function. We compared the clinical parameters and outcomes between ASTEMI patients combined renal insufficiency and the patients with normal renal function. There was a significant increase in the concentrations of fibrinogen and D-Dimer (P<0.05) and a much higher morbidity of diabetes mellitus in the group of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD; eGFR<60 ml/(min·1.73 m(2))) (P<0.01). CKD (eGFR<60 ml/(min·1.73 m(2))) was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality for patients hospitalized with ASTEMI receiving PCI therapy rapidly (P=0.032, odds ratio (OR) 4.159, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.127-15.346). Renal insufficiency is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality for patients hospitalized with ASTEMI treated with primary PCI.Journal of Zhejiang University SCIENCE B 08/2012; 13(8):638-44. · 1.10 Impact Factor -
Article: Long-term effects of novel biodegradable, polymer-coated, sirolimus-eluting stents on neointimal formation in a porcine coronary model.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The postulated relationship between nonbiodegradable polymers and late stent thrombosis has led to a concerted effort to seek alternative biodegradable polymers for drug delivery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of novel sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) with biodegradable polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) polymer on neointimal thickening in a porcine coronary model. Three types of stents were implanted in different coronary arteries of the same mini-swine: bare cobalt-chromium stents (BMS); PLGA-coated-only stents (PCOS); and PLGA-coated, sirolimus-eluting stents (PCSES). A total of 26 animals underwent successful placement of 78 oversized stents (each stent-group, n = 26) in the coronary arteries with histopathologic analysis and Western blot at 28 days, 3 months, or 1 year. At 28 days and 3 months, the mean neointimal area was about two-fold lower in PCSES versus BMS or PCOS. At 1 year, the mean intimal area was similar for PCSES (1.76 +/- 0.28 mm(2)) and BMS (2.06 +/- 0.23 mm(2), P = 0.051). Western blot analysis demonstrated decreased expression of p27(kip1) in the vessel wall 3 months after PCSES implantation as compared with 28 days. PCSES effectively reduced in-stent neointimal formation for the first 3 months in this porcine coronary model. Beyond 3 months, neointimal proliferation was not substantially inhibited by PCSES. The observed delayed neointimal hyperplasia with PCSES may be partly related to the potential side effects of sirolimus and/or late insufficient arterial drug levels.International Heart Journal 11/2009; 50(6):811-22. · 1.16 Impact Factor
