Functional remodeling of an electrospun polydimethylsiloxane‐based polyether urethane external vein graft support device in an ovine model

© 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure rates are unacceptably high, and external mechanical support may improve patency. We studied the histologic remodeling of a conformal, electrospun, polydimethylsiloxane-based polyether urethane external support device for SVGs and eva...

description © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure rates are unacceptably high, and external mechanical support may improve patency. We studied the histologic remodeling of a conformal, electrospun, polydimethylsiloxane-based polyether urethane external support device for SVGs and evaluated graft structural evolution in adult sheep to 2 years. All sheep (N = 19) survived to their intended timepoints, and angiography showed device-treated SVG geometric stability over time (30, 90, 180, 365, or 730 days), with an aggregated graft patency rate of 92%. There was minimal inflammation associated with the device material at all timepoints. By 180 days, treated SVG remodeling was characterized by minimal/nonprogressive intimal hyperplasia; polymer fragmentation and integration; as well as the development of a neointima, and a confluent endothelium. By 1-year, the graft developed a media-like layer by remodeling the neointima, and elastic fibers formed well-defined structures that subtended the neo-medial layer of the remodeled SVG. Immunohistochemistry showed that this neo-media was populated with smooth muscle cells, and the intima was lined with endothelial cells. These data suggest that treated SVGs were structurally remodeled by 180 days, and developed arterial-like features by 1 year, which continued to mature to 2 years. Device-treated SVGs remodeled into arterial-like conduits with stable long-term performance as arterial grafts in adult sheep.
