A biodegradable Mg alloy stent with a dual effect of drug and growth factor release was developed. Inorganic and organic coatings were applied to the alloy surface to slow down its degradation. The coated stent showed a successful reduction in degradation rate and demonstrated high biocompatibility in in vitro studies.
Despite significant advancements made in cardiovascular stents, restenosis, thrombosis, biocompatibility, and clinical complications remain a matter of concern. Herein, we report a biodegradable Mg alloy stent with a dual effect of the drug (Paclitaxel) and growth factor (VEGF) release. To mitigate the fast degradation of Mg alloy, inorganic and organic coatings were formed on the alloy surface. The optimized hierarchal sequence of the coating was the first layer consisting of magnesium fluoride, followed by poly(L-lactide) and hydroxyapatite coating, and finally sealed by a polycaprolactone layer (Mg-C). PLLA and HAp were used to increase the adhesion strength and biocompatibility of the coating. Paclitaxel and VEGF were loaded in the final PCL layer (Mg-C/PTX-VEGF). As compared to bare Mg alloy (28 % weight loss), our Mg-C system showed (3.1 % weight loss) successful decrease in the degradation rate. Further, the in vitro biocompatibility illustrated the highly biocompatible nature of our drug and growth factor-loaded system. The in vivo results displayed that the drug loading decreased the inflammation and neointimal hyperplasia as indicated by the & alpha;-SMA and CD-68 antibody staining. The growth factor helped in the endothelialization which was established by the FLKI and ICAM antibody staining of the tissue.
