Objective: We report carotid artery stenting (CAS) using balloon-expandable coronary (BECo) stent. The materials in this study consist of 15 cases of high-grade stenosis in internal carotid artery (ICA) in which self-expanding carotid (SECa) stent was not utilized. There were two groups why BECo stent was used instead of SECa stent: alternative group and intentional group. The alternative group was subdivided into two groups: access difficulty of guiding catheter and access difficulty of SECa stent.

Case Presentation: The alternative group included 11 cases (access difficulty of guiding catheter in 10 and access difficulty of SECa stent in 1), and the intentional group included 4 cases. There were four cases using transbrachial approach. All the intentional group cases were the first stage of staged angioplasty (SAP). The second stage of SAP was PTA in two and SECa stent over the BECo stent in two. There was no complication related to CAS.

Conclusion: CAS using BECo stent is one of the choices for the first stage of SAP, if stent placement instead of PTA is required at the first stage. It is also the useful alternative for the patient having difficulty of SECa stent.

Although significant progress in developing biodegradable magnesium alloy materials in cardiovascular stents has been achieved recently, they still face challenges such as rapid in vivo corrosion degradation, inferior blood compatibility, and limited re-endothelialization after the implantation. Hydrogel coating that can catalyze the liberation of gas signal molecules offers a good solution to alleviate the corrosion rate and enhance the biocompatibility of magnesium and its alloys. In this study, based on alkaline heat treatment and construction of polydopamine coating on the surface of magnesium alloy, sodium alginate/carboxymethyl chitosan (SA/CMCS) gel was simultaneously covalently grafted onto the surface to build a natural polymer hydrogel coating, and selenocystamine (SeCA) and CO release molecules (CORM-401) were respectively immobilized on the surface of the hydrogel coating to ameliorate the anticoagulant performance and accelerate endothelial cells (ECs) growth by catalyzing the release of endogenous gas signal molecules (NO or CO).

Bioclickable and mussel adhesive peptide mimics for engineering vascular stent surfaces.

Thrombogenic reaction, aggressive smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation, and sluggish endothelial cell (EC) migration onto bioinert metal vascular stents make poststenting reendothelialization a dilemma. Here, we report an easy to perform, biomimetic surface engineering strategy for multiple functionalization of metal vascular stents. We first design and graft a clickable mussel-inspired peptide onto the stent surface via mussel-inspired adhesion.

Co-immobilization of two or more molecules with different and complementary functions to prevent thrombosis, suppress smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation, and support endothelial cell (EC) growth is generally considered to be promising for the re-endothelialization on cardiovascular stents. However, integration of molecules with distinct therapeutic effects does not necessarily result in synergistic physiological functions due to the lack of interactions among them, limiting their practical efficacy. Herein, we apply heparin and nitric oxide (NO), two key molecules of the physiological functions of endothelium, to develop an endothelium-mimetic coating.

Mussel-inspired catalytic selenocystamine-dopamine coatings for long-term generation of therapeutic gas on cardiovascular stents.

The development of a nitric oxide (NO)-generating surface with long-term, stable and controllable NO release improves the therapeutic efficacy of cardiovascular stents. In this work, we developed a "one-pot" method inspired by mussel adhesive proteins for copolymerization of selenocystamine (SeCA) and dopamine (Dopa) to form a NO-generating coating on a 316 L stainless steel (SS) stent. This "one-pot" method is environmentally friendly and easy to popularize, with many advantages including simple manufacturing procedure, high stability and no involvement of organic solvents.
