Background: Long diseased vessel segments of peripheral arteries may display irregular shapes with different diameters. The aim of this study was to investigate inhibition of neointimal proliferation in porcine peripheral vessels with different diameters covered by one single hyper-compliant drug-coated balloon (HCDCB), compared to conventional drug-coated balloons (DCB), each selected according to the respective vessel diameter.
Methods And Results: Neointimal proliferation was stimulated in proximal and distal segments of the peripheral arteries by balloon overstretch and stent implantation.

Introduction: Neointimal hyperplasia after percutaneous coronary intervention remains a major determinant of in-stent restenosis (ISR). The extent of mechanical vessel injury correlates with ISR. A new ex vivo porcine stent model was introduced and evaluated comparing different stent designs.

Rationale: Lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) disease is caused by the formation of atherosclerotic plaque in the femoral artery, which causes the stenosis and occlusion of lower legs, and then leads to chronic limb ischemia. Stent intervention is the most common treatment for ASO in the lower extremities, although there is a risk of overstretching or fracturing the stent, resulting in stent rupture. We provide a unique method for treating stent rupture.

Titanium is commonly used in blood-exposed medical devices because it has superior blood compatibility. Mycophenolic acid inhibits the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. This study examined the effect of a non-polymer TiO thin film-coated stent with mycophenolic acid in a porcine coronary overstretch restenosis model.
