    ObjectiveIn-stent restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS) due to neointimal hyperplasia is a potential cause of clinical complications, including repeated revascularization and ischemic events. Neointimal hyperplasia induced by an inflammatory response to the stent strut may be a possible mechanism of in-stent restenosis. Intravenous infusion of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been reported to show therapeutic efficacy for cerebral stroke, presumably by an antiinflammatory effect. This study aimed to determine whether MSCs can reduce or prevent neointimal hyperplasia induced by an endovascular stent.MethodsIn this study, two types of bare metal stents were deployed using a porcine (mini-pig) model. One stent was implanted in the common carotid artery (CCA), which is considered quite similar to the human CCA, and the other was inserted in the superficial cervical artery (SCA), which is similar in size to the human middle cerebral artery. Angiographic images, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging, and microscopic images were used for analysis.ResultsAngiographic images and IVUS studies revealed that intravenous infusion of MSCs immediately after deployment of stents prevented in-stent stenosis of the CCA and SCA. Histological analysis also confirmed that inflammatory responses around the stent struts were reduced in both the stented CCA and SCA in the mini-pig.ConclusionsIntravenous infusion of MSCs inhibited the inflammatory reaction to an implanted stent strut, and prevented progressive neointimal hyperplasia in the stented CCA and SCA in a porcine model. Thus, MSC treatment could attenuate the recurrence of cerebral ischemic events after stenting.
