          Abstract

          Type 1 diabetic patients have increased risk of developing in-stent restenosis following endovascular stenting. Underlying pathogenetic mechanisms are not fully understood partly due to the lack of a relevant animal model to study the effect(s) of long-term autoimmune diabetes on development of in-stent restenosis. We here describe the development of in-stent restenosis in long-term (~7 months) spontaneously diabetic and age-matched, thymectomized, nondiabetic Diabetes Prone BioBreeding (BBDP) rats ( n = 6-7 in each group). Diabetes was suboptimally treated with insulin and was characterized by significant hyperglycaemia, polyuria, proteinuria, and increased HbA 1c levels. Stented abdominal aortas were harvested 28 days after stenting. Computerized morphometric analysis revealed significantly increased neointima formation in long-term diabetic rats compared with nondiabetic controls. In conclusion, long-term autoimmune diabetes in BBDP rats enhances in-stent restenosis. This model can be used to study the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms of diabetes-enhanced in-stent restenosis as well as to test new therapeutic modalities.

          Restenosis and the proportional neointimal response to coronary artery injury: results in a porcine model.

          Restenosis is a reparative response to arterial injury occurring with percutaneous coronary revascularization. However, the quantitative characteristics of the relation between vessel injury and the magnitude of restenotic response remain unknown. This study was thus performed to determine the relation between severity of vessel wall injury and the thickness of resulting neointimal proliferation in a porcine model of coronary restenosis. Twenty-six porcine coronary artery segments in 24 pigs were subjected to deep arterial injury with use of overexpanded, percutaneously delivered tantalum wire coils. The vessels were studied microscopically 4 weeks after coil implantation to measure the relation between the extent of injury and the resulting neointimal thickness. For each wire site, a histopathologic score proportional to injury depth and the neointimal thicknesses at that site were determined. Mean injury scores were compared with both mean neointimal thickness and planimetry-derived area percent lumen stenosis. The severity of vessel injury strongly correlated with neointimal thickness and percent diameter stenosis (p less than 0.001). Neointimal proliferation resulting from a given wire was related to injury severity in adjacent wires, suggesting an interaction among effects at injured sites. If the results in this model apply to human coronary arteries, restenosis may depend on the degree of vessel injury sustained during angioplasty.

            Coronary stents: current status.

            Coronary artery stents revolutionized the practice of interventional cardiology after they were first introduced in the mid-1980s. Since then, there have been significant developments in their design, the most notable of which has been the introduction of drug-eluting stents. This paper reviews the benefits, risks, and current status of Food and Drug Administration-approved drug-eluting stents. Copyright 2010 American College of Cardiology Foundation.

              Diabetes mellitus and the clinical and angiographic outcome after coronary stent placement.

              The objectives of this study were to analyze the clinical and angiographic outcome of diabetic patients with successful coronary stent placement and to compare these results with those achieved after stenting in nondiabetic patients. The outcome of diabetic patients treated with stent placement due to coronary artery disease has not been assessed comprehensively. This study analyzes a consecutive series of patients with successful stent placement comprising 715 patients with diabetes and 2,839 patients without diabetes. Clinical one year follow-up and angiographic control at 6 months were part of the protocol. Death, myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization were considered as adverse events. An automated edge detection system was used for the angiographic assessment. The primary clinical endpoint was event-free survival at one year. The primary angiographic endpoint was restenosis rate at 6 months (> or = 50% diameter stenosis). Event-free survival was significantly lower in diabetic than in nondiabetic patients (73.1 vs. 78.5%, p < 0.001). Survival free of myocardial infarction was also significantly reduced in the diabetic group (89.9 vs. 94.4% in nondiabetics, p < 0.001). The incidence of both restenosis (37.5 vs. 28.3%, p < 0.001) and stent vessel occlusion (5.3 vs. 3.4%, p = 0.037) was significantly higher in diabetic patients. Diabetes was identified as an independent risk factor for adverse clinical events and restenosis in multivariate analyses. Patients with diabetes mellitus have a less favorable clinical outcome at one year after successful stent placement as compared to the nondiabetic patients. The clinical follow-up was characterized by a higher incidence of death, myocardial infarction and reinterventions. Diabetic patients also demonstrated an increased risk for restenosis.
