Abstract

Background: Intravascular stent (IVaS) is sometimes used for suturing small vessels, but removing the stent after suturing is difficult. To overcome this problem, we developed an IVaS that integrates a stent and a manipulating string. This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of the modified IVaS (M-IVaS) by comparing it with conventional sutures (CS) and conventional IVaS (C-IVaS).

Methods: Forty-five superficial femoral arteries from rats were resected and sutured. The rats were randomly divided into the following 3 groups: CS, M-IVaS, and C-IVaS, with 15 rats per group. Patency rate, operating time, and ultrasonographic blood flow dynamics were examined immediately after suturing. Patency tests, ultrasonographic evaluations, and histological investigations were performed 1 week (n = 5), 2 weeks (n = 5), and 6 weeks (n = 5) after surgery.

Results: The 3 groups showed vessel patency in all cases immediately after suturing and at 1 week, 2 weeks, and 6 weeks after surgery. The mean operative time was 22.6 minutes for the CS group, 21.5 minutes for the M-IVaS group, and 25.9 minutes for the C-IVaS group. There were no significant differences in peak flow velocity and stenosis rate among the 3 groups as evaluated by ultrasonography. Histopathological evaluation revealed a similar recovery process of endothelial cells and no damage to the vascular wall.

Conclusion: The surgical time using M-IVaS was significantly shorter compared to that using C-IVaS. The M-IVaS reduced the inconvenience of C-IVaS removal. M-IVaS showed the same effectiveness as did the CS in terms of patency rate, operating time, ultrasonographic blood flow dynamics, and histological evaluation. M-IVaS can be used in the field of microsurgery.

用于大鼠股浅动脉微血管缝合的改良型血管内支架

背景：血管内支架（IVaS）有时用于缝合小血管，但缝合后取出支架很困难。为了克服这一问题，我们开发了一种将支架和操纵绳整合在一起的 IVaS。本研究旨在通过与传统缝合器（CS）和传统IVAS（C-IVAS）的比较，研究改良型IVAS（M-IVAS）的实用性：方法：切除并缝合 45 只大鼠的股浅动脉。大鼠随机分为以下 3 组：CS、M-IVaS 和 C-IVaS，每组 15 只。缝合后立即检查通畅率、手术时间和超声血流动力学。术后 1 周（5 只）、2 周（5 只）和 6 周（5 只）分别进行了通畅测试、超声波评估和组织学检查：3 组病例在缝合后立即以及术后 1 周、2 周和 6 周均显示血管通畅。CS 组的平均手术时间为 22.6 分钟，M-IVaS 组为 21.5 分钟，C-IVaS 组为 25.9 分钟。通过超声波检查评估，三组的峰值流速和狭窄率无明显差异。组织病理学评估显示，内皮细胞的恢复过程相似，血管壁无损伤：结论：使用 M-IVaS 的手术时间明显短于使用 C-IVaS 的手术时间。结论：使用 M-IVaS 的手术时间明显短于使用 C-IVaS 的手术时间。在通畅率、手术时间、超声血流动力学和组织学评估方面，M-IVaS显示出与CS相同的有效性。M-IVaS 可用于显微外科领域。
