ABSTRACT
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>First generation drug-eluting stents (DESs) were based on 316L stainless steel and coated with a permanent polymer. The vessel wall of these DESs was inflammatory and late in-stent thrombosis was reported. Hence, cobalt chromium based DES coated with a bioabsorbable polymer was an alternate choice.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Cobalt chromium based DES with bioabsorbable polymer (Simrex stent) as well as control stents (Polymer stent and EXCEL(TM) stent) were implanted into porcine arteries. At a designated time, angiography, quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) analysis, histomorphometry, and electron-microscopical follow-up were performed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 98 stents of all the three groups were harvested. At week 24, percent diameter stenosis (%DS), late loss (LL), and percent area stenosis (%AS) of Simrex was (12.9 ± 0.4)%, (0.35 ± 0.02) mm, and (24.5 ± 4.2)%, respectively, without significant difference in comparison to commercialized EXCEL(TM) stent. Slight inflammatory reaction was seen around the stent strut of Simrex, just as in the other two groups. Electron-microscopical follow-up suggested that it might take 4 - 12 weeks for Simrex to complete its re-endothelialization process.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Cobalt chromium based, bioabsorbable polymer coated sirolimus-eluting stent showed excellent biocompatibility. During 24 weeks observation in porcine model, it was proved that this novel DES system successfully inhibited neointima hyperplasia and decreased in-stent stenosis. It is feasible to launch a clinical evaluation to improve the current prognosis of DES implantation.</p>
