Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the effect of biodegradable magnesium alloy stent and stainless steel 316L stent in vein graft anastomotic restenosis, and the influence on vascular remodeling.

Methods

27 male New Zealand white rabbits were divided into 3 groups (n=9 in each group), anesthetized by 3% sodium pentobarbital. External jugular vein was anastomosis to infra-renal abdominal aorta with 9-0 suture. 1 month after operation, two type of stents were randomly implanted in the stenosis anastomosis of vein graft. Biodegradable magnesium alloy stent (BMAS) were implanted in BMAS group. 316L stainless steel stent were implanted in 316L group, while control group (NC) did not receive stent implanting. DSA was carried out through ear vein at months 1, 2, 3 and 4 after stent implantation to measure the infra-renal abdominal aorta and vein graft anastomosis diameter. Paraffin section of the vein graft were performed Elastin and Van Gieson stain to evaluate vascular morphology and neointimal area. Evans blue staining was performed and detected OD value at a wavelength of 620 nm to evaluate the process of vascular re-endothelialization.

Results

Both stents can effectively support the anastomotic, and reduce loss of lumen diameter, the mechanical support effect of biodegradable magnesium alloy stent is not inferior to that of stainless steel stent. The neointimal area induced by biodegradable magnesium stent was similar to that of control group at 4th month [(4.80±0.58) mm2, vs. (4.17±0.56) mm2, P=0.112], which was significantly smaller than the control group [(4.80±0.58) mm2, vs. (6.97±0.78) mm2, P<0.001]. The OD value of 316L group was obviously higher than the other two groups [316L vs. NC: (0.19±0.03) vs. (0.09±0.01), P=0.001; 316L vs. BMAS: (0.19±0.03) vs. (0.08±0.01), P=0.001] at 4th month, while BMAS group and control group showed no significant difference [(0.08±0.01) vs. (0.09±0.01), P=0.940].

Conclusion

BMAS can effectively support the narrow vein graft anastomosis after implantation, which is similar to 316L stainless steel stent in mechanical support. However, BMAS was superior to 316L stent in reducing neointimal area and promoting re-endothelialization, which can be used as a potential method to prevent the restenosis of vein grafts.
