"This study was undertaken to evaluate safety and biocompatibility of a novel biodegradable polydioxanone stent in a rabbit tracheal model. Metallic and silicone stents represent standard therapeutic approaches for hollow organ stenosis, although complications have been reported repeatedly. Biodegradable stents could reduce the risks associated with this procedure while still achieving the purpose of maintaining lumen patency. METHODS: A commercially available polydioxanone suture strand with a long safety record was used to manufacture the self-expanding stents. The polydioxanone stents were then implanted bronchoscopically and under fluoroscopic guidance into the tracheas of white rabbits (N = 25). Periodic clinical examination was performed. Histopathologic examination concluded the study for the 5 experimental groups at 3, 4, 5, 10, and 15 weeks after implantation."@en . . "10.1016/j.jtcvs.2011.08.002" . "Crha, Michal" .
