PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of using covered stents vs. bare stents in a model of central vein stenosis with an arteriovenous graft created to mimic the conditions in hemodialysis patients.
METHODS: In 7 mongrel dogs, an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene-covered nitinol stent was placed in one common iliac vein and a bare stent was placed in the contralateral vein. Arteriovenous grafts were created bilaterally between the common femoral artery and vein to induce endothelial damage. Neointima formation in the covered stents was compared to the bare stents at 12 weeks using microscopy and histochemical staining.
RESULTS: Two dogs were excluded due to thrombosis and infection of the arteriovenous grafts, but all stents in the remaining 5 dogs were patent. Smooth, complete neointimal coverage was observed on the inner surface of all the covered stents without intraluminal thrombus. In contrast, incomplete neointimal coverage was seen in all bare stents, with small focal thrombi adhering to the neointima on 3 bare stents. Focal nodular neointimal hyperplasia with denudation of the endothelium was observed in only 2 bare stents. Mean neointimal thickening was significantly greater in the covered stents. Eccentric neointimal thickening was observed at the inflow and outflow segments of both types of stents.
CONCLUSION: Covered stents are technically feasible for the treatment of central vein stenosis, and they demonstrate complete, smooth neointimal coverage in normal central veins, but they also display greater neointimal thickening than bare stents.
