Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The treatment of large wide-necked cerebral aneurysms is extremely difficult. The covered stents were prepared using balloon-expandable stents by dip-coating to completely cover their struts with polyurethane film and microprocessing to form the honeycomb pattern after expansion. In an the large, wide-necked, outer-sidewall aneurysm canine model, almost all parts of the aneurysms had embolized immediately after stenting, and histological examination at 2 months revealed neointimal formation with complete endothelialization at all stented segments and entirely organized aneurysms. In a perforating artery rabbit model, the lumbar arteries remained patent, with minimal change in the vascular flow pattern, even after placement of a second, overlapping stent. Excellent embolization performance of the designed microporous covered stents without disturbing branching flow was confirmed at the aneurysms in this pilot examination.
