Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) represents the treatment of choice for the majority of patients with coronary artery disease. While currently available DES, in addition to physiological support, has failed to show the non-inferiority to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in terms of cumulative incidence of clinical events over the short-term follow-up. Studies have also shown that DES is associated with an increased risk of target vessel revascularization compared to CABG after long-term follow-up. Drug-coated balloons (DCB) have been shown to provide clinically significant benefits in the management of in-stent restenosis and diffuse coronary artery disease, as well as small coronary artery lesions. The aim of this review was to describe the inherent technical limitations of DES and highlight the potential advantages of PCI with DCB for long-term outcomes and potentially demonstrate its non-inferiority to CABG. Currently, ongoing studies will provide more information and help to understand if a blended therapy of DCB+DES can match the performance of CABG in the need for revascularization in more complex patients.

Unravelling the progress and potential of drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons in cardiological insurgencies. Life Sci 2024; 352:122908. [PMID: 39004270 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2024.122908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
AIM Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality. Though percutaneous transluminal angioplasty followed by stenting is still the default treatment of choice for revascularization of obstructive CAD, the high rate of restenosis compromises the outcomes of endovascular procedures. To overcome restenosis, drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-coated balloons (DCB) are designed that release antiproliferative drugs like sirolimus, paclitaxel, everolimus, etc., over time to inhibit cell growth and proliferation. Our review aims to summarize the challenges and progress of DES/DCBs in clinical settings. MATERIAL AND METHODS The comprehensive review, search and selection encompasses in relevant articles through Google Scholar, Springer online, Cochrane library and PubMed that includes research articles, reviews, letters and communications, various viewpoints, meta-analyses, randomized trials and quasi-randomized trials. Several preclinical and clinical data have been included from National Institutes of Health and clinicaltrials.gov websites. KEY FINDINGS Challenges like delayed endothelialization, stent thrombosis (ST), and inflammation was prominent in first-generation DES. Second-generation DES with improved designs and drug coatings enhanced biocompatibility with fewer complications. Gradual absorption of bioresorbable DES over time mitigated long-term issues associated with permanent implants. Polymer-free DES addressed the inflammation concerns but still, they leave behind metallic stents in the vasculature. As an alternative therapeutic strategy, DCB were developed to minimize inflammation in the vessel. Although both DES and DCBs have shown considerable progress, challenges persist. SIGNIFICANCE This review illustrates the advancements in the designs, preparation technologies, biodegradable materials, and drugs used as well as challenges associated with DES and DCBs in clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with coronary artery disease treated with permanent polymer-coated drug-eluting stents (DES), the persistent presence of a less biocompatible polymer might delay arterial healing. Thin strut polymer-free DES have the potential to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The purpose of this first-in-human study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of a novel polymer-free DES in patients with de novo coronary lesions. The TIGERevolutioN® stent (CG Bio Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea) consists of a cobalt chromium platform with a strut thickness of 70 μm and a surface treated with titanium dioxide onto which everolimus-eluting stent (EES) is applied abluminally (6 µg/mm of stent length) without utilization of a polymer. METHODS A total of 20 patients were enrolled, with de novo coronary lesions (stable or unstable angina) and > 50% diameter stenosis in a vessel 2.25 to 4.00 mm in diameter and ≤ 40 mm in length for angiographic, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and clinical assessment at 8 months. All patients received DAPT after stent implantation. The primary endpoint was angiographic in-stent late lumen loss (LLL) at 8 months. RESULTS Twenty patients with 20 lesions were treated with TIGERevolutioN®. At 8 months, in-stent LLL was 0.7 ± 0.4 mm. On OCT, percent area stenosis was 29.2 ± 9.4% and stent strut coverage was complete in all lesions. No adverse cardiovascular event occurred at 8 months. CONCLUSION The new polymer-free EES was safe and effective with low LLL and excellent strut coverage at 8 months of follow-up.

Abstract
Restenosis following percutaneous revascularization is a major challenge in patients with insulin resistance and diabetes. Currently, the vascular effects of insulin are not fully understood. In vitro, insulin's effects on endothelial cells (ECs) are beneficial, whereas on vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), they are mitogenic. We previously demonstrated a suppressive effect of insulin on neointimal growth under insulin-sensitive conditions that was abolished in insulin-resistant conditions. Here, we aimed to determine the cell-specific effects of insulin on neointimal growth in a model of restenosis under insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant conditions. Vascular cell-specific insulin receptor (IR)-deficient mice were fed a low-fat diet (LFD) or a high-fat, high-sucrose diet (HFSD) and implanted with an insulin pellet or vehicle prior to femoral artery wire injury. In insulin-sensitive conditions, insulin decreased neointimal growth only in controls. However, under insulin-resistant conditions, insulin had no effect in either control, EC-specific or SMC-specific IR-deficient mice. These data demonstrate that EC and SMC IRs are required for the anti-restenotic effect of insulin in insulin-sensitive conditions and that, in insulin resistance, insulin has no adverse effect on vascular SMCs in vivo.

Abstract
Porous nickel-titanium (NiTi) manufactured using metal injection molding (MIM) has emerged as an innovative generation of drug-loaded stent materials. However, an increase in NiTi porosity may compromise its mechanical properties and cytocompatibility. This study aims to explore the potential of porous NiTi as a vascular drug delivery material and evaluate the impact of porosity on its drug loading and release, mechanical properties, and cytocompatibility. MIM, combined with the powder space-holder method, was used to fabricate porous NiTi alloys with three porosity levels. The mechanical properties of porous NiTi were assessed, as well as the surface cell growth capability. Furthermore, by loading rapamycin nanoparticles onto the surface and within the pores of porous NiTi, we evaluated the in vitro drug release behavior, inhibitory effect on cell proliferation, and inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia in vivo. The results demonstrated that an increase in porosity led to a decrease in the mechanical properties of porous NiTi, including hardness, tensile strength, and elastic modulus, and a decrease in the surface cell growth capability, affecting both cell proliferation and morphology. Concurrently, the loading capacity and release duration of rapamycin were extended with increasing porosity, resulting in enhanced inhibitory effects on cell proliferation in vitro and inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia in vivo. In conclusion, porous NiTi holds promise as a desirable vascular drug delivery material, but a balanced consideration of the influence of porosity on both mechanical properties and cytocompatibility is necessary to achieve an optimal balance among drug-loading and release performance, mechanical properties, and cytocompatibility.

Selection Criteria in the Era of Perfect Competition for Drug-Eluting Stents in Association With Operator Volumes: An Operator-Volume Analysis of the Selection DES Study. Cardiol Res 2024; 15:189-197. [PMID: 38994230 PMCID: PMC11236343 DOI: 10.14740/cr1651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background This study aimed to explore the factors influencing the drug-eluting stent (DES) selection criteria of cardiologists in association with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) volumes and to determine whether they value further DES improvements and modifications. Methods The survey was conducted on a group of cardiologist operators from April 10 to 30, 2023. Results The analysis included 126 operators who answered the questions. Of these, low-, intermediate-, and high-volume operators accounted for 49 (38.9%), 47 (37.3%), and 30 (23.8%), respectively. Overall, Xience™ everolimus-eluting stent (CoCr-EES) was most frequently used, with > 70% of cardiologists using it in > 20% of their PCI practice. The percentage of selection by low-, intermediate-, and high-volume operators among the DESs used demonstrated no difference, except for dual-therapy sirolimus-eluting and CD34+ antibody-coated Combo® stent (DTS). Logistic regression analysis revealed that low-volume operators are less likely to be affected in terms of company/sales representative (odds ratio (OR): 0.402, P = 0.031) and bending lesions (OR: 0.339, P = 0.037) for selecting DES. Low-volume operators less frequently selected Resolute Onyx™ zotarolimus-eluting stents (OR: 0.689, P = 0.043) and DTS (Drug-Eluting Stents) (OR: 0.361, P = 0.006) for PCI. Conclusions The current study results indicate that patient background, DES performance, and product specifications were not criteria for DES selection in cardiologists with different PCI volumes in routine PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Ultimaster™, a third-generation sirolimus-eluting stent using biodegradable polymer, has been introduced to overcome long term adverse vascular events, such as restenosis or stent thrombosis. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the 12-month clinical outcomes of Ultimaster™ stents in Korean patients with coronary artery disease. METHODS This study is a multicenter, prospective, observational registry across 12 hospitals. To reflect real-world clinical evidence, non-selective subtypes of patients and lesions were included in this study. The study end point was target lesion failure (TLF) (the composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction [MI], and target lesion revascularization [TLR]) at 12-month clinical follow up. RESULTS A total of 576 patients were enrolled between November 2016 and May 2021. Most of the patients were male (76.5%), with a mean age of 66.0±11.2 years. Among the included patients, 40.1% had diabetes mellitus (DM) and 67.9% had acute coronary syndrome (ACS). At 12 months, the incidence of TLF was 4.1%. The incidence of cardiac death was 1.5%, MI was 1.0%, TLR was 2.7%, and stent thrombosis was 0.6%. In subgroup analysis based on the presence of ACS, DM, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or bifurcation, there were no major differences in the incidence of the primary endpoint. CONCLUSIONS The present registry shows that Ultimaster™ stent is safe and effective for routine real-world clinical practice in non-selective Korean patients, having a low rate of adverse events at least up to 12 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention have improved with the use of drug-eluting stents, but data beyond 10 years are limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing sirolimus-eluting stent implantation with follow-up beyond 10 years and to determine the impact of clinical and angiographic characteristics on long-term prognosis. METHODS AND RESULTS The clinical outcomes of 885 patients who had undergone sirolimus-eluting stent implantation at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. Primary endpoints included in the analysis were clinically driven target lesion revascularization (cTLR) and target lesion revascularization (TLR). Univariate and multivariate nominal logistic regression was used for data analysis. The incidence rates of cTLR and TLR beyond 10 years after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation were 16.4% and 36.8%, respectively, with cTLR tending to decrease beyond 10 years. Acute coronary syndrome was a predominant trigger for cTLR. Age, statin use, and stent restenosis emerged as predictors of cTLR within 10 years, but no significant predictors other than age were identified beyond 10 years. CONCLUSIONS Events continue to occur beyond 10 years after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation, with a trend toward an increase in acute coronary syndromes. It is important to be vigilant about the occurrence of acute coronary syndromes during long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Plain balloon angioplasty was the initial method used to enlarge the intracoronary lumen size. However, it was linked to acute coronary closure due to early vessel recoil. This led to the invention of coronary stents, which offer mechanical support to open and maintain the vascular lumen. Nevertheless, the metallic scaffold introduced other issues, such as thrombosis and restenosis caused by neointimal proliferation. To address these concerns, polymers were employed to cover the scaffold, acting as drug reservoirs and regulators for controlled drug release. The use of polymers prevents direct contact between blood and metallic scaffolds. Drugs within the stent were incorporated to inhibit proliferation and expedite endothelialization in the healing process. Despite these advancements, adverse effects still arise due to the inflammatory reaction caused by the polymer material. Consequently, resorbable polymers and scaffolds were later discovered, but they have limitations and are not universally applicable. Various scaffold designs, thicknesses, materials, polymer components, and drugs have their own advantages and complications. Each stent generation has been designed to address the shortcomings of the preceding generation, yet new challenges continue to emerge. Conflicting data regarding the long-term safety and efficacy of coronary stents, especially in the extended follow-up, further complicates the assessment.

Abstract
Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are specialized coronary devices comprised of a semicompliant balloon catheter with an engineered coating that allows the delivery of antiproliferative agents locally to the vessel wall during percutaneous coronary intervention. Although DCBs were initially developed more than a decade ago, their potential in coronary interventions has recently sparked renewed interest, especially in the United States. Originally designed to overcome the limitations of conventional balloon angioplasty and stenting, they aim to match or even improve upon the outcomes of drug-eluting stents without leaving a permanent implant. Presently, in-stent restenosis is the condition with the most robust evidence supporting the use of DCBs. DCBs provide improved long-term vessel patency compared with conventional balloon angioplasty and may be comparable to drug-eluting stents without the need for an additional stent layer, supporting their use as a first-line therapy for in-stent restenosis. Beyond the treatment of in-stent restenosis, DCBs provide an additional tool for de novo lesions for a strategy that avoids a permanent metal scaffold, which may be especially useful for the management of technically challenging anatomies such as small vessels and bifurcations. DCBs might also be advantageous for patients with high bleeding risk due to the decreased necessity for extended antiplatelet therapy, and in patients with diabetes and patients with diffuse disease to minimize long-stented segments. Further studies are crucial to confirm these broader applications for DCBs and to further validate safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of death globally, demanding innovative therapeutic strategies. Nanoformulations, including nanoparticles, address challenges in drug delivery, stem cell therapy, imaging, and gene delivery. Nanoparticles enhance drug solubility, bioavailability, and targeted delivery, with gas microbubbles, liposomal preparations, and paramagnetic nanoparticles showing potential in treating atherosclerosis and reducing systemic side effects. In stem cell therapy, nanoparticles improve cell culture, utilizing three-dimensional nanofiber scaffolds and enhancing cardiomyocyte growth. Gold nanoparticles and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-derived microparticles promote stem cell survival. Stem cell imaging utilizes direct labeling with nanoparticles for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), while optical tracking employs dye-conjugated nanoparticles. In gene delivery, polymeric nanoparticles like polyethylenimine (PEI) and dendrimers, graphene-based carriers, and chitosan nanoparticles offer alternatives to virus-mediated gene transfer. The potential of magnetic nanoparticles in gene therapy is explored, particularly in hepatocellular carcinoma. Overall, nanoparticles have transformative potential in cardiovascular disease management, with ongoing research poised to enhance clinical outcomes.

Abstract
We examine physician responses to a global information shock and how these impact their patients. We exploit international news over the safety of an innovation in healthcare, the drug-eluting stent. We use data on interventional cardiologists' use of stents to define and measure cardiologists' responsiveness to the initial positive news and link this to their patients' outcomes. We find substantial heterogeneity in responsiveness to news. Patients treated by cardiologists who respond slowly to the initial positive news have fewer adverse outcomes. This is not due to patient-physician sorting. Instead, our results suggest that the differences are partially driven by slow responders being better at deciding when (not) to use the new technology, which in turn affects their patient outcomes.

Abstract
Drug-eluting stents (DES) play a crucial role in treating coronary artery disease (CAD) by preventing restenosis. These stents are coated with drug carriers that release antiproliferative drugs within the vessel. Over the past two decades, DES have been employed in clinical practice using various materials, polymers, and drug types. Despite optimizations in their design and materials to enhance biocompatibility and antithrombotic properties, evaluating their long-term efficacy and safety necessitates improved clinical follow-up and monitoring. To delineate future research directions, this study employs a bibliometric analysis approach. We comprehensively surveyed two decades' worth of literature on DES for CAD using the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC). Out of 5,778 articles, we meticulously screened them based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subsequently, we conducted an in-depth analysis encompassing annual publication trends, authorship affiliations, journal affiliations, keywords, and more. Employing tools such as Excel 2021, CiteSpace 6.2R3, VOSviewer 1.6.19, and Pajek 5.17, we harnessed bibliometric methods to derive insights from this corpus. Analysis of annual publication data indicates a recent stabilisation or even a downward trend in research output in this area. The United States emerged as the leading contributor, with Columbia University and CRF at the forefront in both publication output and citation impact. The most cited document pertained to standardized definitions for clinical endpoints in coronary stent trials. Our author analysis identifies Patrick W. Serruys as the most prolific contributor, underscoring a dynamic exchange of knowledge within the field.Moreover, the dual chart overlay illustrates a close interrelation between journals in the "Medicine," "Medical," and "Clinical" domains and those in "Health," "Nursing," and "Medicine." Frequently recurring keywords in this research landscape include DES coronary artery disease, percutaneous coronary intervention, implantation, and restenosis. This study presents a comprehensive panorama encompassing countries, research institutions, journals, keyword distributions, and contributions within the realm of DES therapy for CAD. By highlighting keywords exhibiting recent surges in frequency, we elucidate current research hotspots and frontiers, thereby furnishing novel insights to guide future researchers in this evolving field.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective We aimed to study the comparative effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent and coronary artery bypass grafting in patients receiving dialysis. Study Design This was a retrospective observational cohort study. Setting & Participants This population-based study identified patients receiving dialysis hospitalized for coronary revascularization between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2015, in the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Exposures Patients received percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent versus coronary artery bypass grafting. Outcomes The study outcomes were all-cause mortality, in-hospital mortality, and repeat revascularization. Analytical Approach Propensity scores were used to match patients. Cox proportional hazards models and logistic regression models were constructed to examine associations between revascularization strategies and mortality. Interval Cox models were fitted to estimate time-varying hazards during different periods. Results A total of 1,840 propensity score-matched patients receiving dialysis were analyzed. Coronary artery bypass grafting was associated with higher in-hospital mortality (coronary artery bypass grafting vs percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent; crude mortality rate 12.5% vs 3.3%; adjusted OR, 5.22; 95% CI, 3.42-7.97; P < 0.001) and longer hospitalization duration (median [IQR], 20 [14-30] days vs 3 [2-8] days; P < 0.001). After discharge, repeat revascularization, acute coronary syndrome, and repeat hospitalization all occurred more frequently in the percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent group. Importantly, with a median follow-up of 2.8 years, coronary artery bypass grafting was significantly associated with a higher risk of all-cause overall mortality (adjusted HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.05-1.35; P = 0.006) in the multivariable Cox proportional hazard model. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses yielded consistent results. Limitations This was an observational study with mainly Asian ethnicity. Conclusions Percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent may be associated with better survival than coronary artery bypass grafting in patients receiving dialysis. Future studies are warranted to confirm this finding.

Intravascular ultrasound-guided versus angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention in unprotected left main coronary artery disease: A systematic review. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2024; 59:99-108. [PMID: 37657950 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2023.08.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Significant unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease is encountered in approximately 5 % of patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) overcomes many of the known limitations of angiography and improves outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in stable or complex coronary artery disease. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the evidence on IVUS-guidance versus angiography-guidance in ULMCA PCI, highlighting the chronological frequencies of event rates in line with the maturation of PCI technique and devices over time. METHODS A comprehensive systematic search in Medline was performed to identify all studies that had assessed the effect of IVUS-guided versus angiography-guided ULMCA PCI on various primary and secondary endpoints. RESULTS Seventeen studies (2 randomized, 10 non-randomized and 5 meta-analyses) were included in this systematic review. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review on IVUS-guided versus angiography-guided PCI in patients with significant ULMCA disease strongly supports the hypothesis that IVUS-guided PCI is associated with a significant reduction in major adverse cardiac events composites, all-cause death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction and stent thrombosis. Ongoing, adequately powered trials will contribute significantly to the level of evidence.

Abstract
The use of biomaterials in implanted medical devices remains hampered by platelet adhesion and blood coagulation. Thrombus formation is a prevalent cause of failure of these blood-contacting devices. Although systemic anticoagulant can be used to support materials and devices with poor blood compatibility, its negative effects such as an increased chance of bleeding, make materials with superior hemocompatibility extremely attractive, especially for long-term applications. This review examines blood-surface interactions, the pathogenesis of clotting on blood-contacting medical devices, popular surface modification techniques, mechanisms of action of anticoagulant coatings, and discusses future directions in biomaterial research for preventing thrombosis. In addition, this paper comprehensively reviews several novel methods that either entirely prevent interaction between material surfaces and blood components or regulate the reaction of the coagulation cascade, thrombocytes, and leukocytes.

Abstract
Stent restenosis is the most unfavorable complication of interventional treatment for coronary heart disease. We already know from various literature sources that the causes for stent restenosis in patients are both mechanical damage (partial opening, stent breakage, extended stented area, calcification, incomplete stent coverage of atherosclerotic plaque, weak radial stiffness of the stent metal frame, lack of stent drug coating), and the neointimal hyperplasia formation which is closely related to the de novo atherosclerosis development, being a predictor of the recurrent cardiovascular event.

Abstract
Magnesium alloy stents have been extensively studied in the field of biodegradable metal stents due to their exceptional biocompatibility, biodegradability and excellent biomechanical properties. Nevertheless, the specific in vivo service environment causes magnesium alloy stents to degrade rapidly and fail to provide sufficient support for a certain time. Compared to previous reviews, this paper focuses on presenting an overview of the development history, the key issues, mechanistic analysis, traditional protection strategies and new directions and protection strategies for magnesium alloy stents. Alloying, optimizing stent design and preparing coatings have improved the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy stents. Based on the corrosion mechanism of magnesium alloy stents, as well as their deformation during use and environmental characteristics, we present some novel strategies aimed at reducing the degradation rate of magnesium alloys and enhancing the comprehensive performance of magnesium alloy stents. These strategies include adapting coatings for the deformation of the stents, preparing rapid endothelialization coatings to enhance the service environment of the stents, and constructing coatings with self-healing functions. It is hoped that this review can help readers understand the development of magnesium alloy cardiovascular stents and solve the problems related to magnesium alloy stents in clinical applications at the early implantation stage.

Abstract
The local delivery of antiproliferative agents to inhibit neointimal growth is not specific to vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and delays reendothelialization and vascular healing. This investigation was intended to evaluate the effect of luminal delivery of a VSMC-specific aptamer on endothelial healing. The impact of an RNA aptamer (Apt 14) was first examined on the migration and proliferation of primary cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells (ECs) in response to in vitro scratch wound injury. We further evaluated the impact of Apt 14 on reendothelialization when delivered locally in a swine iliofemoral injury model. Although Apt 14 did not affect EC migration and proliferation, in vitro results confirmed that paclitaxel significantly inhibited EC migration and proliferation. En face scanning electron microscopy demonstrated confluent endothelium with elongated EC morphology in Apt 14-treated arteries 14 and 28 days post-treatment. In contrast, vessels treated with paclitaxel-coated balloons displayed a cobblestone morphology and significant platelet and fibrin attachment at cell junctions. These results provide the first evidence of the efficacy of a cell-targeted RNA aptamer to facilitate endothelial healing in a clinically relevant large animal model.

Abstract
Persistence of the pathology of in-stent restenosis even with the advent of drug-eluting stents warrants the development of highly resolved in silico models. These computational models assist in gaining insights into the transient biochemical and cellular mechanisms involved and thereby optimize the stent implantation parameters. Within this work, an already established fully-coupled Lagrangian finite element framework for modeling the restenotic growth is enhanced with the incorporation of endothelium-mediated effects and pharmacological influences of rapamycin-based drugs embedded in the polymeric layers of the current generation drug-eluting stents. The continuum mechanical description of growth is further justified in the context of thermodynamic consistency. Qualitative inferences are drawn from the model developed herein regarding the efficacy of the level of drug embedment within the struts as well as the release profiles adopted. The framework is then intended to serve as a tool for clinicians to tune the interventional procedures patient-specifically.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease is the most prevalent cardiovascular disease, claiming millions of lives annually around the world. The current treatment includes surgically inserting a tubular construct, called a stent, inside arteries to restore blood flow. However, due to lack of patient-specific design, the commercial products cannot be used with different vessel anatomies. In this review, we have summarized the drawbacks in existing commercial metal stents which face problems of restenosis and inflammatory responses, owing to the development of neointimal hyperplasia. Further, we have highlighted the fabrication of stents using biodegradable polymers, which can circumvent most of the existing limitations. In this regard, we elaborated on the utilization of new fabrication methodologies based on additive manufacturing such as three-dimensional printing to design patient-specific stents. Finally, we have discussed the functionalization of these stent surfaces with suitable bioactive molecules which can prove to enhance their properties in preventing thrombosis and better healing of injured blood vessel lining.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease, including ischemic heart disease, is the leading cause of death worldwide, and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) have been demonstrated to improve the prognosis of these patients on top of optimal medical therapy. PCIs have evolved from plain old balloon angioplasty to coronary stent implantation at the end of the last century. There has been a constant technical and scientific improvement in stent technology from bare metal stents to the era of drug-eluting stents (DESs) to overcome clinical challenges such as target lesion failure related to in-stent restenosis or stent thrombosis. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these adverse events has led DESs to evolve from first-generation DESs to thinner and ultrathin third-generation DESs with improved polymer biocompatibility that seems to have reached a peak in efficiency. This review aims to provide a brief historical overview of the evolution of coronary DES platforms and an update on clinical studies and major characteristics of the most currently used DESs.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine (RM) is a multidisciplinary field that utilizes the inherent regenerative potential of human cells to generate functionally and physiologically acceptable human cells, tissues, and organs in vivo or ex vivo. An appropriate biomaterial scaffold with desired physicochemical properties constitutes an important component of a successful RM approach. Among various forms of biomaterials explored until the present day, hydrogels have emerged as a versatile candidate for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) applications such as scaffolds for spatial patterning and delivering therapeutic agents, or substrates to enhance cell growth, differentiation, and migration. Although hydrogels can be prepared from a variety of synthetic polymers as well as biopolymers, the latter are preferred for their inherent biocompatibility. Specifically, keratins are fibrous proteins that have been recently explored for constructing hydrogels useful for RM purposes. The present review discusses the suitability of keratin-based biomaterials in RM, with a particular focus on human hair keratin hydrogels and their use in various RM applications.

Abstract
It is well known that patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have delayed vessel healing despite accelerated endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) mobilization. The COMBO stent is a unique biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent with an anti-CD34 antibody coating which captures EPC and potentially promotes vessel healing. However, there are limited data about strut tissue coverage at the very short-term period after COMBO stent implantation. This was a prospective study to investigate strut tissue coverage within 1 month after COMBO stent implantation using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Struts fully covered with tissue were defined as covered, and struts with distance from lumen surface longer than strut plus polymer thickness were defined as malapposed. Mean tissue thickness was measured only in apposed struts. A total of 8173 struts of 33 lesions in 32 patients were analyzed at an average of 19.8 ± 4.6 days after COMBO stent implantation. In lesion-level analysis, the rate of covered struts was 89.6 ± 7.2%, the rate of malapposed struts was 0.9 ± 2.0% and mean tissue thickness was 46.8 ± 14.3 µm. In comparison between AMI (n = 12) and non-AMI (n = 21) patients, there were no significant differences in the rate of covered struts (88.4 ± 8.4% vs. 90.2 ± 6.6%, p = 0.48) and mean tissue thickness (46.8 ± 13.7 µm vs. 46.9 ± 15.0 µm, p = 0.98). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that time from implantation to OCT imaging was significantly associated with mean tissue thickness. The COMBO stent had substantial tissue coverage at the very short-term period after implantation even in AMI patients, and follow-up time had an impact on vessel healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In recent years, studies of drug-eluting stent (DES) for femoropopliteal artery diseases (FPADs) have been gradually published. To explore whether this type of stent is superior to the traditional bare metal stent (BMS), we performed this study. METHODS A systematic search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in Excerpta Medica Database (Embase), PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), and Cochrane Library was performed on November 29, 2022. We innovatively adopted the hazard ratio (HR), the most appropriate indicator, as a measure of the outcomes that fall under the category of time-to-event data. The HRs was extracted directly or indirectly. Then, the meta-analyses using random effects model were performed. The bias risks of included papers were assessed by the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool. This study was registered on the PROSPER platform (CRD42023391944) and not funded. RESULTS Seven RCTs involving 1,889 participants were found. After pooled analyses, we obtained results without propensity on each of the following 3 outcomes of interest: in-stent restenosis (ISR) -free survival, primary patency (PP) survival, and target lesion revascularization (TLR) -free survival (P >0.05, respectively). Because the results of pooled analyses of the other two outcomes of interest (all-cause death free survival and clinical benefit survival) had high heterogeneity both, they were not accepted by us. CONCLUSION For FPADs, the DES has not yet demonstrated superiority or inferiority to BMS, in the ability to maintain PP, avoid ISR and TLR.

Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:311. [PMID: 37658418 PMCID: PMC10472664 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01220-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As the complexity and diversity of the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are being explored and reported, burgeoning research has progressed in this field. However, there is no comprehensive analysis available on PCI-related studies published in the literature. This study aimed to analyze and visualize the changes of scientific output regarding prognosis of coronary heart disease (CHD) after PCI over the past 20 years and to reveal the knowledge domain and development trends in this field by using CiteSpace software. METHODS Relevant articles published over the period 2004-2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. After manual selection, qualified documents were included and recorded with the information of their title, abstract, keyword, author, descriptor, citation, identifier, publishing year and publishing organization. We transferred the data to CiteSpace V5.8.R2 (Version 5.8.R2) to draw knowledge maps and to conduct co-occurrence analysis, cluster analysis, timeline analysis, burst term detection and citation analysis. RESULTS A total of 14,699 literature records were found relating prognosis of CHD after PCI in the past 20 years (2004-2022), including 14,212 original articles and reviews, and they were published in 153 different journals. Publication production has increased annually and a total of 1182 authors, 796 institutes and 147 countries have contributed to these publications. Moreover, the most representative author was Gregg W Stone from the CardioVascular Research Foundation (CVRF) with 368 publications, whose team mainly focused on exploring the efficacy and safety of revascularization and the characteristics of susceptible population. The global productivity ranking was led by the USA with 3326 published papers, followed by Italy (n = 1355), Japan (n = 1080), China (n = 1075) and Germany (n = 937). And the keywords of these publications were "percutaneous coronary intervention" (n = 2271), "outcome" (n = 1756), "mortality" (n = 1730) and "impact" (n = 1334). Other commonly-used words were "predictor" (n = 1324), "intervention" (n = 1310), "angioplasty" (n = 1299), "risk" (n = 1144), "acute myocardial infarction" (n = 1136) and "artery disease" (n = 1098). Cluster analysis showed that 15 high connected clusters were generated with a modularity Q of 0.831 and a weighted mean silhouette of 0.9388 by applying the log-likelihood ratio algorithm, and the top 5 clusters were #0 optical coherence tomography, #1 dual antiplatelet therapy, #2 bleeding, #3 clopidogrel and #4 thrombus aspiration. Furthermore, the frontiers in the field of prognosis of CHD after PCI mainly involved "decision making", "reperfusion", "angioplasty", "balloon", "unstable angina", "dual antiplatelet therapy", "cardiac surgical score", "restenosis", "reperfusion", "thrombolytic therapy", etc. CONCLUSIONS: To sum up, efficacy and safety of different types of stents, the risk factors of restenosis and thrombotic events after PCI, early risk assessment, and secondary prevention and complications of patients with CHD after PCI were research hotspots and frontier topics in the area by bibliometric analysis. The results could provide a comprehensive overview of the research hotspots and frontier topics relating prognosis of CHD after PCI, promoting a better understanding of the knowledge domain and development trends in this field during the past 20 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous drug-eluting stent implantation (DESI) is an emerging and promising treatment modality for infrapopliteal artery diseases (IPADs). This systematic review and meta-analysis summarizes and quantitatively analyzes the outcomes of DESI in IPADs considering the hazard ratio (HR), which is a more accurate and appropriate outcome measure than the more commonly used relative risk and odds ratio. AIM To explore the superiority of drug-eluting stents (DESs) vs traditional treatment modalities for IPADs. METHODS The following postoperative indicators were the outcomes of interest: All-cause death (ACD)-free survival, major amputation (MA)-free survival, target lesion revascularization (TLR)-free survival, adverse event (AE)-free survival, and primary patency (PP) survival. The outcome measures were then compared according to their respective HRs with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The participants were human IPAD patients who underwent treatments for infrapopliteal lesions. DESI was set as the intervention arm, and traditional percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with or without bare metal stent implantation (BMSI) was set as the control arm. A systematic search in the Excerpta Medica Database (Embase), PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library was performed on November 29, 2022. All controlled studies published in English with sufficient data on outcomes of interest for extraction or conversion were included. When studies did not directly report the HRs but gave a corresponding survival curve, we utilized Engauge Digitizer software and standard formulas to convert the information and derive HRs. Then, meta-analyses were conducted using a random-effects model. RESULTS Five randomized controlled trials and three cohort studies involving 2639 participants were included. The ACD-free and MA-free survival HR values for DESI were not statistically significant from those of the control treatment (P > 0.05); however, the HR values for TLR-free, AE-free, and PP-survival differed significantly [2.65 (95%CI: 1.56-4.50), 1.57 (95%CI: 1.23-2.01), and 5.67 (95%CI: 3.56-9.03), respectively]. CONCLUSION Compared with traditional treatment modalities (i.e., PTA with or without BMSI), DESI for IPADs is superior in avoiding TLR and AEs and maintaining PP but shows no superiority or inferiority in avoiding ACD and MA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The HELIOS stent is a sirolimus-eluting stent with a biodegradable polymer and titanium oxide film as the tie-layer. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HELIOS stent in a real-world setting. METHODS The HELIOS registry is a prospective, multicenter, cohort study conducted at 38 centers across China between November 2018 and December 2019. A total of 3060 consecutive patients were enrolled after application of minimal inclusion and exclusion criteria. The primary endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF), defined as a composite of cardiac death, non-fatal target vessel myocardial infarction (MI), and clinically indicated target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 1-year follow-up. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate the cumulative incidence of clinical events and construct survival curves. RESULTS A total of 2998 (98.0%) patients completed the 1-year follow-up. The 1-year incidence of TLF was 3.10% (94/2998, 95% closed interval: 2.54-3.78%). The rates of cardiac death, non-fatal target vessel MI and clinically indicated TLR were 2.33% (70/2998), 0.20% (6/2998), and 0.70% (21/2998), respectively. The rate of stent thrombosis was 0.33% (10/2998). Age ≥60 years, diabetes mellitus, family history of coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction at admission, and device success were independent predictors of TLF at 1 year. CONCLUSION The 1-year incidence rates of TLF and stent thrombosis were 3.10% and 0.33%, respectively, in patients treated with HELIOS stents. Our results provide clinical evidence for interventional cardiologists and policymakers to evaluate HELIOS stent. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03916432.

Outcome of a polymer-free drug-coated coronary stent in bifurcation lesions-Pilot registry with serial OCT imaging. Herz 2023; 48:292-300. [PMID: 35397659 DOI: 10.1007/s00059-022-05109-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymer-free and carrier-free drug-coated stents (DCS) represent a novel therapeutic option for the treatment of coronary artery disease. The objective of this pilot registry is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DCS implantation in bifurcation lesions. METHODS Overall, 23 consecutive patients with 24 lesions received a Biolimus A9-coated DCS for coronary bifurcation lesions. Patients were examined with quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) at 3-6 months of follow-up. RESULTS A total of 23 patients with 24 bifurcation lesions were included in this study. Nine (33.3%) lesions of eight patients revealed angiographical target lesion failure due to in-stent restenosis (ISR). In total, 19 patients with 20 bifurcation lesions were suitable for OCT analysis. A total of 2936 struts were analyzed and 14 struts (0.47%) were classified as malapposed. The mean luminal area (mm2) was not different in lesions with ISR vs. lesions with no ISR (5.07 ± 2.0 vs. 5.73 ± 1.34, p = 0.39) at follow-up. Lesions with ISR showed higher mean neointimal burden (27.11 ± 10.59 vs. 13.93 ± 9.16%, respectively; p = 0.009). All of the patients who presented with significant ISR required percutaneous re-intervention. CONCLUSIONS We observed a high rate of DCS ISR in bifurcation lesions, possibly related to increased inflammation and neoatherosclerosis. The small size of the study warrants careful interpretation of our results. Larger trials are necessary to expand knowledge of these findings.

Expert Rev Med Devices 2023; 20:1235-1242.

Abstract
BACKGROUND More than 20 years have passed since the first company introduced drug-eluting stent (DES) in 2002, but competing companies still have improved their DESs under regulatory approval. This study aimed to investigate the criteria for interventional cardiologists performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in selecting a DES. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS From 10 April 2023, to 30 April 2023, 3,422 cardiologists were requested to complete a questionnaire, of whom 126 responded to the survey. RESULTS Overall, 86.5% of the respondents used Xience cobalt-chromium everolimus-eluting stent (Xience) in > 10% of PCI procedures. For Xience, brand loyalty and calcified lesions were important independent variables for the DES selection criteria. Ultimaster sirolimus-eluting stent (Ultimaster) was not affected by the clinical data delivered by the company, whereas the respondents were shown to seek support for their activities from the Ultimaster supplier. The relationship with the company and/or sales representative and the planned surgical procedure affected the use of Coroflex ISAR NEO sirolimus-eluting polymer-free stent. CONCLUSIONS Patient background and lesion characteristics had little impact on the DES selection criteria, suggesting that DES performance has already reached its physical limitations to the extent that respondents may not value further improvements in performance or characteristics of DES.

Abstract
Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is pathologic fibrotic narrowing of the larynx and trachea characterized by hypermetabolic fibroblasts and CD4+ T cell-mediated inflammation. However, the role of CD4+ T cells in promoting LTS fibrosis is unknown. The mTOR signaling pathways have been shown to regulate the T cell phenotype. Here we investigated the influence of mTOR signaling in CD4+ T cells on LTS pathogenesis. In this study, human LTS specimens revealed a higher population of CD4+ T cells expressing the activated isoform of mTOR. In a murine LTS model, targeting mTOR with systemic sirolimus and a sirolimus-eluting airway stent reduced fibrosis and Th17 cells. Selective deletion of mTOR in CD4+ cells reduced Th17 cells and attenuated fibrosis, demonstrating CD4+ T cells' pathologic role in LTS. Multispectral immunofluorescence of human LTS revealed increased Th17 cells. In vitro, Th17 cells increased collagen-1 production by LTS fibroblasts, which was prevented with sirolimus pretreatment of Th17 cells. Collectively, mTOR signaling drove pathologic CD4+ T cell phenotypes in LTS, and targeting mTOR with sirolimus was effective at treating LTS through inhibition of profibrotic Th17 cells. Finally, sirolimus may be delivered locally with a drug-eluting stent, transforming clinical therapy for LTS.

Abstract
Coronary artery revascularisation can be performed surgically or percutaneously. Surgery is associated with higher procedural risk and longer recovery than percutaneous interventions, but with long-term reduction of recurrent cardiac events. For many patients with obstructive coronary artery disease in need of revascularisation, surgical or percutaneous intervention is indicated on the basis of clinical and anatomical reasons or personal preferences. Medical therapy is a crucial accompaniment to coronary revascularisation, and data suggest that, in some subsets of patients, medical therapy alone might achieve similar results to coronary revascularisation. Most revascularisation data are based on prevalently White, non-elderly, male populations in high-income countries; robust data in women, older adults, and racial and other minorities, and from low-income and middle-income countries, are urgently needed.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12072675.

Abstract
Drug-eluting stent (DES) recipients require 6–12 months of dual antiplatelet treatment (DAPT) and long-term aspirin mono-antiplatelet treatment (MAPT). Given the diversity of contemporary antiplatelet agents, antiplatelet treatment (APT) selection is becoming more complicated. We evaluated 15-year APT trends based on nationwide prescription data of 79,654 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using DESs from 2002 to 2018 in Korea. DAPT (80.7%) was the most preferred initial APT post-PCI. Many DES recipients received prolonged DAPT (post-PCI 3 years: 41.0%; 10 years: 27.7%). There was a noticeable delay in DAPT-to-MAPT conversion from the mid to late 2000s (after the late-stent thrombosis concerns of first-generation DESs raised); the conversion after that was similar during the 2010s, occurring most robustly at 12–18 months post-PCI. Clopidogrel had long and increasingly been used for MAPT, surpassing aspirin. The recent increase in newer P2Y12 inhibitor prescriptions was noted. The patients treated with newer P2Y12 inhibitors were more likely younger men and presented with acute myocardial infarction. Real-world APT is evolving, and guideline–practice gaps exist. Further studies exploring the impact of diverse APT strategies on patient outcomes are expected to provide insights into optimal APT that can sophisticatedly balance the ischemic and bleeding risks.

Abstract
The deployment of structures that enable localized release of bioactive molecules can result in more efficacious treatment of disease and better integration of implantable bionic devices. The strategic design of a biopolymeric coating can be used to engineer the optimal release profile depending on the task at hand. As illustrative examples, here advances in delivery of drugs from bone, brain, ocular, and cardiovascular implants are reviewed. These areas are focused to highlight that both hard and soft tissue implants can benefit from controlled localized delivery. The composition of biopolymers used to achieve appropriate delivery to the selected tissue types, and their corresponding outcomes are brought to the fore. To conclude, key factors in designing drug-loaded biopolymeric coatings for biomedical implants are highlighted.

Abstract
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) technology was developed to deliver the antiproliferative drugs to the vessel wall without leaving any permanent prosthesis or durable polymers. The absence of foreign material can reduce the risk of very late stent failure, improve the ability to perform bypass-graft surgery, and reduce the need for long-term dual antiplatelet therapy, potentially reducing associated bleeding complications. The DCB technology, like the bioresorbable scaffolds, is expected to be a therapeutic approach that facilitates the "leave nothing behind" strategy. Although newer generation drug-eluting stents are the most common therapeutic strategy in modern percutaneous coronary interventions, the use of DCB is steadily increasing in Japan. Currently, the DCB is only indicated for treatment of in-stent restenosis or small vessel lesions (< 3.0 mm), but potential expansion for larger vessels (≥ 3.0 mm) may hasten its use in a wider range of lesions or patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. The task force of the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics (CVIT) was convened to describe the expert consensus on DCBs. This document aims to summarize its concept, current clinical evidence, possible indications, technical considerations, and future perspectives.

Abstract
Abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) induces graft anastomotic stenosis, resulting in graft failure. Herein, we developed a drug-loaded tissue-adhesive hydrogel as artificial perivascular tissue to suppress VSMCs proliferation. Rapamycin (RPM), an anti-stenosis drug, is selected as the drug model. The hydrogel was composed of poly (3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid-co-acrylamide) (BAAm) and polyvinyl alcohol. Since phenylboronic acid reportedly binds to sialic acid of glycoproteins which is distributed on the tissues, the hydrogel is expected to be adherent to the vascular adventitia. Two hydrogels containing 25 or 50 mg/mL of BAAm (BAVA25 and BAVA50, respectively) were prepared. A decellularized vascular graft with a diameter of <2.5 mm was selected as a graft model. Lap-shear test indicates that both hydrogels adhered to the graft adventitia. In vitro release test indicated that 83 and 73 % of RPM in BAVA25 and BAVA50 hydrogels was released after 24 h, respectively. When VSMCs were cultured with RPM-loaded BAVA hydrogels, their proliferation was suppressed at an earlier stage in RPM-loaded BAVA25 hydrogels compared to RPM-loaded BAVA50 hydrogels. An in vivo preliminary test reveals that the graft coated with RPM-loaded BAVA25 hydrogel shows better graft patency for at least 180 d than the graft coated with RPM-loaded BAVA50 hydrogel or without hydrogel. Our results suggest that RPM-loaded BAVA25 hydrogel with tissue adhesive characteristics has potential to improve decellularized vascular graft patency.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) leading to heart failure contributes to almost 85% of deaths associated with CVDs. MI results from plaque formation in the coronary artery which leads to a lack of oxygen and nutrients in the myocardium. To date, stenting is a widely used gold-standard technique to maintain the proper blood flow through coronary circulation in the myocardium. Bare metal stents (BMS) and drug-eluting stents (DES) are majorly used in implantation. However, BMS and DES both can induce neointima formation by depositing excessive collagens in the coronary arteries leading to restenosis. Identification and quantitative analysis of site-specific post-translational modifications (PTMs) of deposited COL1A1 from neointima ECM are not known. Applying our in-house workflow, we re-analyzed a previously published mass-spectrometry data set to comprehensively map site-specific prolyl-hydroxylation, lysyl hydroxylation, and O-glycosylation sites in COL1A1 from neointima ECM. Furthermore, we quantitated the occupancy level of 9 3-hydroxyproline (3-HyP) sites, 2 hydroxylysine sites, and glycosylation microheterogeneity on 6 lysine sites of COL1A1. Although the total level of COL1A1 was decreased in DES-induced neointima, the occupancy levels of 2 3-HyP sites (P872, and P881) and 2 HyK (K435 and K768) sites of COL1A1 were significantly (p < 0.05) elevated in DES-induced neointima compared to BMS-induced neointima. We also found O-glycosylation to be significantly elevated on 3 lysine sites (K573, K339, and K and K849) of COL1A1 in DES-induced neointima compared to BMS-induced neointima. Taken together, our first comprehensive PTM analysis of COL1A1 reflected significant site-specific alterations that may play a very important role in the ECM remodeling during stent-induced neointima formation in MI patients. SIGNIFICANCE: The knowledge about site-specific post-translational modifications (PTMs) of collagen 1 deposited in the neointima ECM during the post-stenting restenosis process is absent. Here for the first time, we report the altered levels of COL1A1 PTMs during metal stent and drug-eluting stent-induced neointima formation. Our study showcases a novel ECM remodeling through site-specific collagen PTMs during stent-induced restenosis.

Abstract
The valid management of inflammation and precise inhibition of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is regarded as a promising strategy for regulating vascular responses after stent implantation, yet posing huge challenges to current coating constructions. Herein, we proposed a spongy cardiovascular stent for the protective delivery of 4-octyl itaconate (OI) based on a "spongy skin" approach, and revealed the dual-regulation effects of OI for improving vascular remolding. We first constructed a "spongy skin" onto poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) substrates, and realized the protective loading of OI with the highest dosage of 47.9 μg/cm2. Then, we verified the remarkable inflammation mediation of OI, and surprisingly revealed that the OI incorporation specifically inhibited SMC proliferation and phenotype switching, which contributed to the competitive growth of endothelial cells (EC/SMC ratio ∼ 5.1). We further demonstrated that OI at a concentration of 25 μg/mL showed significant suppression of the TGF-β/Smad pathway of SMCs, leading to the promotion of contractile phenotype and reduction of extracellular matrix. In vivo evaluation indicated that the successful delivery of OI fulfilled the inflammation regulation and SMCs inhibition, therefore suppressing the in-stent restenosis. This "spongy skin" based OI eluting system may serve as a new strategy for improving vascular remolding, and provides a potential concept for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Investigation of the small-balloon technique as a method for retrieving dislodged stents. Cardiovasc Interv Ther 2023:10.1007/s12928-023-00917-y.

Abstract
The small-balloon technique used to retrieve a dislodged coronary stent is less studied. We investigated the small-balloon technique to study the capture force and retrieval rate of dislodged proximal or distal stents. We developed a retrieval model for stent dislodgement and performed bench tests to compare proximal and distal capture. We evaluated capture force by capture site in a fixed stent dislodgement model and capture force and retrieval rate by capture site using a retrieval model of stent dislodgement. Three-dimensional (3D)-micro-computed tomography (CT) was used to scan the captured conditions of the distal (DC) and proximal (PC) groups. Stent, balloon shaft, and guiding catheter (GC) diameters were measured. Retrieval areas within GC were calculated and compared. The force was significantly lower in the PC group than in the DC group (p < 0.01). Successful retrieval was achieved in 100% and 84.8% in the PC and DC groups, respectively. The force required to retrieve the dislodged stent was significantly lower in the PC group than that in the DC group (p < 0.01). The force was significantly lower in the successful cases in the DC group than in the unsuccessful cases (p < 0.01). The retrievable areas in the PC and DC groups were 67.5% and 32.7%, respectively, as calculated from the values measured from the 3D-CT images. The success rate of PC was higher than that of DC using the small-balloon technique. The smaller proximal stent gap in the PC method facilitated the retrieval of the dislodgement stent.

Abstract
Iterations in stent technologies, advances in pharmacotherapy, and awareness of the implications of implantation techniques have markedly reduced the risk of stent failure, both in the form of stent thrombosis (ST) and in-stent restenosis (ISR). However, given the number of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) performed worldwide every year, ST and ISR, albeit occurring at a fairly low rate, represent a public health problem even with contemporary DES platforms. The understanding of mechanisms and risk factors for these two PCI complications has been of fundamental importance for the parallel evolution of stent technologies. Risk factors associated with ST and ISR are usually divided into patient-, lesion-, device- and procedure-related. A number of studies have shown how certain risk factors are related to early (1 month) versus late/very late ST (between 1 month and 1 year and >1 year, respectively). However, more research is required to conclusively show the role of time-dependence of risk factors also in the incidence of ISR (early [1 year] or late [>1 year]). A thorough risk assessment is required due to the complex etiology of ST and ISR. The most effective strategy to treat ST and ISR is still to prevent them; hence, it is crucial to identify patient-, lesion-, device- and procedure-related predictors.

Abstract
In the world, one of the leading causes of death is coronary artery disease (CAD). There are several ways to treat this disease, and stenting is currently the most appropriate way in many cases. Nowadays, the use of stents has rapidly increased, and they have been introduced in various models, with different geometries and materials. To select the most appropriate stent required, it is necessary to have an analysis of the mechanical behavior of various types of stents. The purpose of this article is to provide a complete overview of advanced research in the field of stents and to discuss and conclude important studies on different topics in the field of stents. In this review, we introduce the types of coronary stents, materials, stent processing technique, stent design, classification of stents based on the mechanism of expansion, and problems and complications of stents. In this article, by reviewing the biomechanical studies conducted in this field and collecting and classifying their results, a useful set of information has been presented to continue research in the direction of designing and manufacturing more efficient stents, although the clinical-engineering field still needs to continue research to optimize the design and construction. The optimum design of stents in the future is possible by simulation and using numerical methods and adequate knowledge of stent and artery biomechanics.

Abstract
Pathway genes functionally participate in the same biological process. They typically act cooperatively, and none is considered dispensable. The dominant paradigm in drug discovery is the one-to-one strategy, which aims to find the most sensitive drug to act on an individual target. However, many complex diseases, such as cancer, are caused by dysfunction among multiple-gene pathways, not just one. Therefore, identifying pathway genes that are responsive to synthetic compounds in a global physiological environment may be more effective in drug discovery. The high redundancy of crosstalk between biological pathways, though, hints that the covariance matrix, which only connects genes with strong marginal correlations, may miss higher-level interactions, such as group interactions. We herein report the development of DPADM-a Drug-Pathway association Detection Model that infers pathways responsive to specific drugs. This model elucidates higher-level gene-gene interactions by evaluating the conditional dependencies between genes under different drug treatments. The advantage of the proposed method is demonstrated using simulation studies by comparing with another two methods. We applied this model to the Connectivity Map data set (CMap), and demonstrated that DPADM is able to identify many drug-pathway associations, such as mitoxantrone (MTX)- PI3K/AKT association, which targets the topological conditions of DNA transcription. Surprisingly, apart from identifying pathways corresponding to specific drugs, our methodology also revealed new drug-related pathways with functions similarly to those of seed genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Increased risk of in-hospital mortality is critical to guide medical decisions and it played a central role in intensive care unit (ICU) with high risk of in-hospital mortality after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). At present,most predicting tools for in-hospital mortality after PCI were based on the results of coronary angiography, echocardiography, and laboratory results which are difficult to obtain at admission. The difficulty of using these tools limit their clinical application. This study aimed to develop a clinical prognostic nomogram to predict the in-hospital mortality of patients in ICU after PCI. METHODS We extracted data from a public database named the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC III). Adult patients with coronary artery stent insertion were included. They were divided into two groups according to the primary outcome (death in hospital or survive). All patients were randomly divided into training set and validation set randomly at a ratio of 6:4. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was performed in the training set to select optimal variables to predict the in-hospital mortality of patients in ICU after PCI. The multivariate logistical analysis was performed to develop a nomogram. Finally, the predictive efficiency of the nomogram was assessed by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC),integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), and net reclassification improvement (NRI), and clinical net benefit was assessed by Decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS A total of 2160 patients were recruited in this study. By using LASSO, 17 variables were finally included. We used multivariate logistic regression to construct a prediction model which was presented in the form of a nomogram. The calibration plot of the nomogram revealed good fit in the training set and validation set. Compared with the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and scale for the assessment of positive symptoms II (SAPS II) scores, the nomogram exhibited better AUROC of 0.907 (95% confidence interval [CI] was 0.880-0.933, p < 0.001) and 0.901 (95% CI was 0.865-0.936, P < 0.001) in the training set and validation set, respectively. In addition, DCA of the nomogram showed that it could achieve good net benefit in the clinic. CONCLUSIONS A new nomogram was constructed, and it presented excellent performance in predicting in-hospital mortality of patients in ICU after PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents were developed to improve safety and efficacy outcomes for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. However, few long-term follow-up efficacy studies are available. The study sought to investigate 5-year results from the SORT OUT VII trial (Scandinavian Organization for Randomized Trials With Clinical Outcome) comparing the biodegradable polymer ultrathin-strut sirolimus-eluting Orsiro stent (O-SES) versus the biodegradable polymer biolimus-eluting Nobori stent (N-BES). METHODS This registry-based, randomized, multicenter, single-blinded, noninferiority trial compared O-SES and N-BES in an all-comer population. The composite primary end point, target lesion failure, consisted of cardiac death, myocardial infarction related to the target lesion, or target lesion revascularization within 1 year. Follow-up was extended to 5 years. RESULTS Five-year follow-up was completed for 2521 patients (99.8%). Five-year target lesion failure did not differ between O-SES (12.4%) and N-BES (13.1%; rate ratio [RR], 0.94 [95% CI, 0.75-1.18]). Cardiac death (RR, 0.95 [95% CI, 0.67-1.34]), target myocardial infarction (RR, 1.14 [95% CI, 0.76-1.71]), target lesion revascularization (RR, 0.90 [95% CI, 0.67-1.21]), and definite stent thrombosis rates (RR, 0.73 [95% CI, 0.41-1.33]) did not differ significantly between the 2 stents. Within the first year, definite ST was significantly lower for O-SES (0.4%) compared to N-BES (1.2%; RR, 0.33 [95% CI, 0.12-0.92]), but no difference was from 1 through 5 years: O-SES 1.2% and N-BES 0.9% (RR, 1.28 [95% CI, 0.58-2.82]). CONCLUSIONS Five years after treatment with biodegradable polymer stents, target lesion failure did not differ among O-SES and N-BES. Definite stent thrombosis was less often seen within the first year in the O-SES but the difference was not maintained after 5 years.
