Publication Title:
Assessment of a pro-healing stent in an animal model of early neoatherosclerosis
Advanced BioMatrix Products Used:
How the products were used:
RGD Peptide was used for an in vitro permeability assay in development of a pro-healing stent.
Article Abstract:
We investigated whether improved reendothelialization using RGD-coated stents results in diminished vascular permeability and reduced
foam cell formation compared to standard DES in atherosclerotic rabbits.
Neointimal foam cell formation was induced in rabbits (n = 7). Enhanced endothelial integrity in RGD coated stents resulted in decreased vascular permeability relative to DES,
