Endothelial injury post implantation Implanted stent Plaque Stent implantation causes arterial injury, which can initiate restenosis. The restenosis process includes inflammation, migration of smooth muscle cells, smooth muscle cell proliferation and extracellular matrix formation.

Platelet aggregation and activation Drug-eluting stent struts Platelets Red blood cells Inflammatory cells Platelet deposition and activation occur at the injury site, leading to the release of cell-signaling molecules.

Transmigration of inflammatory cells Endothelial cells Transmigration of inflammatory cells Smooth muscle cells Inflammatory cells secreting cell-signaling molecules Once activated, these inflammatory cells roll across the endothelial surface and transmigrate into the lesion.

Activation of smooth muscle cells Smooth muscle cell extracellular view Cell signaling molecules activate smooth muscle cells Smooth muscle cell surface receptor The activated inflammatory cells secrete molecules that bind to specific receptors on smooth muscle cells.

Activation of smooth muscle cells Smooth muscle cell intracellular view Activated smooth muscle cell receptor mTOR activates smooth muscle cells to enter cell cycle Bound smooth muscle cell receptors activate various intracellular smooth muscle cell proteins. One such protein, mTOR, plays a central regulatory role in the cell cycle.

Activation of smooth muscle cells (III) Cell responds to growth factor stimulation Mitosis Cell resting phase Restriction point DNA synthesis Cell prepares for mitosis Activated mTOR stimulates smooth muscle cells to advance from the G1 phase to the S phase where DNA replication occurs, causing the smooth muscle cells to undergo mitosis (ie, cell proliferation).

There are three major components to a drug-eluting stent: Type of stent that carries the drug coating Method by which the drug is delivered (eluted) by the coating to the arterial wall (polymeric or other) The drug itself – how does it act in the body to prevent restenosis?

Zilver PTX (paclitaxel) Paclitaxel is a mitotic inhibitor used in cancer chemotherapy. It was discovered in a National Cancer Institute program at the Research Triangle Institute in 1967 when Monroe E. Wall and Mansukh C. Wani isolated it from the bark of the Pacific Yew tree, Taxus brevifolia and named it 'taxol' First, it allows targeted delivery of a drug (paclitaxel) proven to reduce the renarrowing (restenosis) of arteries opened using balloon angioplasty. Second, by eliminating the need for a polymer, Zilver PTX avoids the potential patient risks posed by leaving a permanent foreign, plastic substance in the body. Zilver PTX mechanisms of action: Hydrophobic—PTX won't wash off. It adheres to the stent without the need for a synthetic polymer Lipophilic—PTX seeks the lipids in the vessel wall and attaches Antiproliferative—once in the cell, PTX blocks cell division (proliferation) for the life of the cell

Local Taxane with Short Exposure for Reduction of Restenosis in Distal Arteries (THUNDER) trial 154 patients (24% smokers, 49% diabetics) with femoropopliteal lesions Paccocath (n=48 patients) no adverse event 6 months  mean late lumen loss 0.461.2 mm vs. 1.761.8 mm for controls (p=0.001) 6-month & 12-month  angiographic binary restenosis were 10% and 25% for the Paccocath patients vs. 41% and 59% for the control patients (p=0.01) Currently, the use of antiproliferative agents, either exposed by stents or balloon catheters in preventing restenosis in infrainguinal arteries, is still investigational.

Ανεπιθύμητες ενέργειες Vascular toxicity rather than cytotoxicity Late incomplete apposition Medial thinning Aneurysm/rupture Delayed re-endothelialization Vasculo-toxic effects in pig coronaries: 90 days High dose, fast release Low dose, slow release Rogers C et al. Circ. 2000.

Late incomplete apposition Potential for stent thrombosis Baseline Follow-up In a Taxus and Cypher study of patients with late incomplete apposition upon clopidogrel discontinuation: 20% had stent thrombosis* No remodeling Explain late incomplete apposition: at baseline, the vessel is fully opposed; however, at follow-up one of two conditions occur: 1. No remodeling: Intimal tissue decreases in size and causes a dissociation between the struts and vessel wall. 2. Aneurysmal remodeling: the vessel wall (media and adventia) pulls away from the stent struts. Emphasize LIA upon discontinuation of clopidogrel has been associated with a high thrombosis rate. Be sure to transition to the Cypher case (in the re-print) to give a real world example of LaST (next slide) Positive remodeling

Endothelial dysfunction Reduction in eNOS and nitric oxide (NO) production Normal vessels dilate in response to exercise or acetylcholine (ACH) This response is dependent on endothelial production of NO Atherosclerotic vessels are characterized by having endothelial dysfunction and constrict in response to exercise or ACH Cai H, Harrison DG. Circ Res. 2000;8This is explained by either a loss of endothelial cells or loss of eNOS expression and NO production 7:840-844. Bonetti PO et al. ATVB. 2003;23:168-175.
