AI Article Synopsis
- A fluoropolymer drug-eluting stent was placed in a patient’s arteriovenous graft to treat a narrowing (stenosis) in the outflow vein.
- After 2.5 years, the stent was surgically removed due to a local infection, and a pathological examination was performed.
- The analysis showed that while some endothelial cell coverage was present on the stent, most of its surface was covered by fibrin, and there were no signs of restenosis or aneurysms.
Article Abstract
A fluoropolymer-based drug-eluting stent was implanted in an arteriovenous graft outflow venous stenosis. Two and a half years later, due to a local infection, the stent was removed surgically, and a pathological evaluation was conducted. The stent struts exhibited partial endothelial cell coverage, with the remaining surface predominantly covered by fibrin. Notably, there was no evidence of restenosis or aneurysmal change.
