Abstract

Biodegradability Endothelial cells Reduction Stents Surgical implants Therapy Ultrasonic imaging Wave attenuation
Conference Title: 2018 International Conference Laser Optics (ICLO) Conference Start Date: 2018, June 4 Conference End Date: 2018, June 8 Conference Location: Saint Petersburg, Russia The present study evaluated the potential of magnetically mediated delivery of endothelial cells (ECs) to inhibit in-stent stenosis induced by mechanical injury in a rat carotid artery stent angioplasty model. Syngeneic ECs loaded with biodegradable polymeric magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were administered at the distal end of the stented artery using a brief exposure (12 min) to a uniform magnetic field (1.4-kOe). After two months, magnetic delivery of ECs demonstrated significant protection from stenosis at the distal part of the stent in the cell therapy group compared to both the proximal part of stent in the cell therapy group and the control (stented, nontreated) group: 1.7-fold (p < 0.001) less reduction in lumen diameter as measured by B-mode and color Doppler ultrasound, 2.3-fold (p < 0.001) less reduction in the ratios of peak systolic velocities as measured by pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound, and 2.1-fold (p < 0.001) attenuation of stenosis as determined through end point morphometric analysis.
