چکیده
BACKGROUND We have previously demonstrated vasculoprotective effects after repeated intravenous administration of recombinant apolipoprotein A-IMilano (apoA-Im)/phospholipid complex. In this study, we sought to determine the effects of local recombinant apoA-Im/1-palmitoyl,2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine complex (ETC-216) delivered intramurally via the Infiltrator catheter on luminal narrowing in a porcine coronary artery stent overstretch injury model. METHODS AND RESULTS In twelve domestic swine ( approximately 25 kg), two arteries each were infiltrated with 0.4 mL ETC-216 (14 mg/mL) or vehicle control immediately before deployment of GFX stents (stent:artery ratio=1.3:1). Animals were euthanized at day 28, and evaluation by QCA revealed a significant improvement in mean lumen loss index with ETC-216 treatment (21+/-22% versus 43+/-13% lumen loss; P=0.01). Histomorphometric analysis showed that ETC-216 treatment significantly reduced the intimal area (6.7+/-1.5 versus 5.2+/-1.4 mm2, -22%; P=0.02) and the stenosis index (0.76+/-0.15 versus 0.59+/-0.15; P=0.01), and increased the lumen area (2.1+/-1.4 versus 3.7+/-1.8 mm2, +76%; P=0.02). Regression analysis showed significant differences in lumen area (P=0.004), neointimal area (P=0.003), stenosis index (P=0.001), and neointimal thickness (P=0.003) adjusted for injury score in favor of ETC-216. CONCLUSIONS A single intramural administration of ETC-216 significantly inhibited injury-induced luminal narrowing in the porcine stent overstretch model through reduction of intimal hyperplasia. These data show that local intracoronary delivery of ETC-216 may be useful to prevent restenosis after coronary stenting.

Apolipoprotein A-IMilano and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine complex (ETC-216) protects the in vivo rabbit heart from regional ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Ex vivo studies demonstrated that a synthetic high-density lipoprotein (HDL) comprised of a complex of recombinant apolipoprotein A-IMilano and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine protects the isolated rabbit heart from reperfusion injury. Therefore, we sought to determine whether a pharmaceutical preparation of this complex, ETC-216, was cardioprotective in an in vivo model of left anteri...

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to examine whether or not intramural delivery of ST638 (a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor) with biodegradable stent can suppress the restenotic changes of the coronary artery in vivo. BACKGROUND Clinical and animal studies demonstrated that restenosis after coronary intervention results from a combined effect of neointimal formation and geometric remodeli...

Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) is the major protein component of the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. Higher levels of apoA-I have been associated with a lower cardiovascular risk even among subjects with reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels; but, unlike HDL-C, an increase in apoA-I levels in individuals treated with statins has been associated with a lower risk of m...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of stent-based delivery of sirolimus (SRL) alone or in combination with dexamethasone (DEX) to reduce in-stent neointimal hyperplasia. SRL is a potent immunosuppressive agent that inhibits SMC proliferation by blocking cell cycle progression. METHODS AND RESULTS Stents were coated with a nonerodable polymer containing 185 micr...

Activated protein C (APC), an endogenous protein, inhibits inflammation and thrombosis and interrupts the coagulation cascade. Here, we investigated the effect of human recombinant APC on the development of neointimal hyperplasia in porcine coronary arteries. Yukon Choice bare metal stents were coated with 2.6 µg APC/mm(2). Under general anesthesia, APC-coated and bare stents were implanted in ...
