Biocompatible Carbon-Based Coating as Potential Endovascular Material for Stent Surface.

ABSTRACT: Stainless steel 316L is a material commonly used in cardiovascular medicine. Despite the various methods applied in stent production, the rates of in-stent restenosis and thrombosis remain high. In this study graphene was used to coat the surface of 316L substrate for enhanced bio- and hemocompatibility of the substrate. The presence of graphene layers applied to the substrate was investigated using cutting-edge imaging technology: energy-filtered low-voltage FE-SEM approach, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The potential of G-316L surface to influence endothelial cells phenotype and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) has been determined. Our results show that the bio- and hemocompatible properties of graphene coatings along with known radial force of 316L make G-316L a promising candidate for intracoronary implants.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To evaluate the influence of baseline parameters on the occurrence of stent-graft surface movement after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and to investigate its association with migration and stent-graft-related endoleaks (srEL). METHODS:In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, three-dimensional surface models of the stent-graft, delimited by landmarks using custom-built software, were derived from the pre-discharge and last follow-up computed tomography angiography (CTA). Stent-graft surface movement in the proximal anchoring zone between these examinations was considered significant at a threshold of 9 mm. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to determine baseline variables associated with the occurrence of stent-graft surface movement. The association between migration and srEL with stent-graft surface movement was tested with the chi-square and the Fisher exact test, respectively. RESULTS:Stent-graft surface movement was observed in 54 (28.9%) of 187 patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that age ([HR] 1.05; p?=?0.017), proximal neck diameter ([HR] 5.07; p?<?0.001), infrarenal aortic neck angulation ([HR] 1.02, p?=?0.002), and proximal neck length ([HR] 0.62, p?<?0.001) were significantly associated with the occurrence of stent-graft surface movement. Migration and srEL occurred in 17 (31.5%) and 5 (9.3%) patients, with and 11 (8.3%) and 2 (1.5%) without stent-graft surface movement (p?<?0.001, p?=?0.022). CONCLUSIONS:Age, neck diameter, infrarenal neck angulation, and proximal neck length were significantly associated with the occurrence of stent-graft surface movement. Apart from possible use of adjunctive sealing systems, concerned patients may benefit from regular CTA surveillance, enabling timely diagnosis of subtle changes of stent-graft position. KEY POINTS:• Stent-graft surface movement, demonstrating subtle, three-dimensional changes in stent-graft position in the proximal anchoring zone, can be derived from CTA examinations. • Age, proximal neck diameter, and infrarenal neck angulation were significantly associated with an increased incidence of stent-graft surface movement. Stent-graft surface movement is significantly more frequent in patients with stent-graft migration and stent-graft-related endoleaks. • Consideration of risk factors for stent-graft surface movement may help to identify patients who might benefit from regular CTA surveillance and timely diagnosis of subtle changes of stent-graft position, enabling re-interventions to prevent migration and srEL.
