Micro‐CT and histopathology methods to assess host response of aneurysms treated with shape memory polymer foam‐coated coils versus bare metal coil occlusion devices

Abstract: Recent studies utilizing shape memory polymer foams to coat embolizing coils have shown potential benefits over current aneurysm treatments. In the current study utilizing a rabbit-elastase aneurysm model, the performance of test article (foam-coated coil [FCC]) and control (bare platinum coils [BPCs]) devices were compared at 30, 90, and 180 days using micro-CT and histological assessments. The host response was measured by identifying the cells regionally present within the aneurysm, and assessing the degree… Show more

“…One proposed application for this material is as a coating for an embolic coil that can be used in the occlusion of aneurysms. 16,17,34 In order to make a rough comparison of degradation product mass to tissue volume, we assumed an aneurysm diameter of 11 mm to represent an aneurysm larger than 92% of aneurysms in a clinical study. 35 To determine the amount of foam that would be present in this aneurysm, we assumed a packing density of 23% with foamcoated coil devices before the devices had expanded, which correlates with a packing density of ~58% after foam expansion, based on our previous work.…”

“…13 Polyurethane foams are one example of SMPs that is being investigated for use in medical devices, including potential applications such as embolic devices and tissue scaffolds. [14][15][16][17][18][19] SMP foams can be designed to be compressed in a low-profile secondary shape that enables minimally invasive delivery and actuation at body temperature. After serving their purpose in the specific application and allowing for the desired new tissue growth, these foams can be designed to degrade in the body.…”

“…Inflammatory responses will continue for many months and through the full resorption of the scaffold. Consistent with classic remodeling and wound healing processes, however, 30 days has been shown with other, biodegradable (polyurethane‐based) SMPs to be an important transition phase where acute inflammatory reactions are still active, but begin to give way to macrophage‐directed remodeling to granulation tissue (Jessen et al, 2020). Indeed, it is generally known that key inflammatory and remodeling phases have peaked and/or are resolved by 3 weeks (Anderson, Rodriguez, & Chang, 2008; Li, Chen, & Kirsner, 2007).…”

“…Over 180 days of implantation in a rabbit elastase aneurysm model, SMP foams had comparable inflammation rates to platinum coil clinical controls 29 . Additionally, the overall host response scores to SMP foams were significantly better than those of platinum coil controls at 90 and 180 days 30 . In a porcine aneurysm model, SMP foams promoted stable clotting within the first hour of implantation 10 .…”
