Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Ion implantation is a surface-modification technology that creates a borderless surface on protein-coated platinum; this change in physical and chemical properties on the surface of Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs) appears to enhance cell proliferation and adhesion. Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of ion implantation on GDCs in an experimental aneurysm model.

METHODS: GDCs were coated with either type I collagen, fibronectin, vitronectin, laminin, or fibrinogen. Using He+ or Ne+ 1 × 1014–15 ions/cm2, ion implantation was performed on these protein-coated GDCs (GDC-Is). A total of 56 experimental aneurysms were constructed microsurgically in the common carotid arteries of 28 swine. These experimental aneurysms were embolized with standard GDCs (n = 23), collagen GDC-Is (n = 11), vitronectin GDC-Is (n = 6), laminin GDC-Is (n = 4), fibrinogen GDC-Is (n = 6), and fibronectin GDC-Is (n = 6). The animals were sacrificed at day 14 after coil embolization. The physical properties of the new coils (friction on delivery, deployment into aneurysms, trackability, etc) and the development of tissue scarring and neoendothelium across the aneurysm's orifice were evaluated macroscopically and microscopically.

RESULTS: No evidence of increased coil friction/stiffness was observed during delivery of GDC-Is through microcatheters in this aneurysm model. A more intense scar formation and neoendothelium at the neck of aneurysms were observed macroscopically when treated with GDC-Is. Significant differences in the proportion of neck coverage between standard GDCs (48.3% ± 20.5%) and all GDC-I groups were observed (collagen GDC-I—89.4% ± 14.9%, P < .01; vitronectin GDC-I—71.5% ± 7.0%, P < .05; laminin GDC-I—76.5% ± 11.0%, P < .05; fibrinogen GDC-I—74.8% ± 13.9%, P < .05; fibronectin GDC-I—87.5% ± 15.0%, P < .01). Light microscopy showed a well-organized fibrous tissue bridging the aneurysm's neck when using GDC-Is, whereas only a fibrin-like thin layer covered the standard GDC surfaces.

CONCLUSION: GDC-Is indicated a more intense inflammatory response in the aneurysm body and dome and faster re-endothelial coverage of the neck of the aneurysm. This accelerated histologic response may decrease the chances of coil compaction and aneurysm recanalization. This technology may improve anatomic and clinical outcomes in patients harboring intracranial aneurysms.
