Influence of the electrosynthesis conditions on the spontaneous release of anti-inflammatory salicylate during degradation of polypyrrole coated iron for biodegradable cardiovascular stent
PublikacjaIn this work, the spontaneous release of anti-inflammatory salicylate from polypyrrole (PPy) coated iron has been studied during degradation of the material in phosphate buffer saline at 37 C. The sodium salicylate was incorporated into PPy in a one-step electropolymerization process. The influence of the synthesis conditions such as sodium salicylate concentration, pyrrole concentration and deposition charge on drug release profile...

Vascular stents - materials and manufacturing technologies
PublikacjaThe objective of this article is to present materials and technology for the manufacture of vascular stents with appropriate design requirements. The use of the right material is very important in implantology. A biomaterial introduced into the circulatory system must be biocompatible and hemocompatible. At the same time, it should not initiate toxic, mutagenic, or immunological reactions. Currently, 316L stainless steel (316L...

Developing Materials for Biodegradable Otolaryngological Stents
PublikacjaMaterials for otolaryngological stents have to be characterized by good tensile strength, wear resistance, biocompatibility, and specific degradation time. This work aimed to synthesize polyurethanes based on various biodegradable polyol blends. Their biodegradability and mechanical properties were tested and compared to commercial BIOFLEX material.

Effects of stents under asymmetric inflow conditions
PublikacjaW publikacji rozważano komputerowe modele stentów przy niesymetrycznych warunkach napływu i ich wpływ na naprężenia styczne na ściankach. Umożliwia to znajdowanie kształtów stentów, które są mniej wrażliwe na brak symetrii napływu. Zmiany kształtów arterii można wiązać ze zmianami charakterystyki przepływów takimi jak m.in. naprężenia styczne na ściankach, które zwiększają ryzyko restenozy. Posłużono się również pojęciem dyssypacji...

Conducting polymer films for biodegradable metallic cardiovascular stents
PublikacjaIn recent years, there is increasing interest to create biodegradable metallic cardiovascular stents instead of using their permanent form. The most interesting materials for this purpose are iron and its alloys. However, in order to use it in clinical application, their degradation rate and biological performance need to be optimized. One promising solution is coating the metal with conducting polymer films. In this work, short...

Antimicrobial and Antiproliferative Coatings for Stents in Veterinary Medicine—State of the Art and Perspectives
PublikacjaMicrobial colonization in veterinary stents poses a significant and concerning issue in veterinary medicine. Over time, these pathogens, particularly bacteria, can colonize the stent surfaces, leading to various complications. Two weeks following the stent insertion procedure, the colonization becomes observable, with the aggressiveness of bacterial growth directly correlating with the duration of stent placement. Such microbial...

Tailoring the electrochemical degradation of iron protected with polypyrrole films for biodegradable cardiovascular stents
PublikacjaThe degradation of polypyrrole (PPy) coated iron is studied in phosphate buffer saline solution at 37 °C by odd random phase multisine electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ORP-EIS). PPy is electropolymerized with anti-inflammatory salicylates incorporated in the film, as a drug release system. The modelling of EIS over time provides the quantitative description of the corrosion behaviour of the material. Thus, the reliable...

Carotid Artery Stenting and Blood–Brain Barrier Permeability in Subjects with Chronic Carotid Artery Stenosis
PublikacjaFailure of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a critical event in the development and progression of diseases such as acute ischemic stroke, chronic ischemia or small vessels disease that affect the central nervous system. It is not known whether BBB breakdown in subjects with chronic carotid artery stenosis can be restrained with postoperative recovery of cerebral perfusion. The aim of the study was to assess the short-term effect...

Computed tomography indicators of cerebral microperfusion improve long term after carotid stenting in symptomatic patients
PublikacjaOBJECTIVES: We tested the hypothesis that computed tomography (CT) perfusion markers of cerebral microcirculation would improve 36 months after internal carotid artery stenting for symptomatic carotid stenosis while results obtained 6-8 weeks after the stenting procedure would yield a predictive value. METHODS: We recruited consecutive eligible patients with >70% symptomatic carotid stenosis with a complete circle of Willis and...

Unresectable malignant obstructive jaundice: a 2-year experience of EUS-guided biliary drainage
PublikacjaObjectives: Endoscopic biliary drainage is a first-line treatment in patients with unresectable malignant biliary obstruction. In most cases the drainage is conducted using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage or endosonography-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) represents therapeutic options after unsuccessful ERCP. Here we report on 2 years experience in the management...

Conducting polymers for biodegradable metallic implants
PublikacjaNowadays permanent metallic cardiovascular stents are long-term implants. The long-time presence of such an implant in human body can cause overgrowth of tissue within the treated portion of the vessel, blockage of the circulatory system and many other clinical complications, such as thrombosis, prolonged physical irritations or chronic inflammation. Therefore, in recent years, there is an interest to create biodegradable metallic...
