Abstract :
[en] BACKGROUND: Prosthetic heart valves are the only treatment for most patients with severe valvular heart disease. Mechanical valves, made of metallic components, are the most long-lasting type of replacement valves. However, they are prone to thrombosis and require permanent anticoagulation and monitoring, which leads to higher risk of bleeding and impacts the patient's quality of life. OBJECTIVES: To develop a bioactive coating for mechanical valves with the aim to prevent thrombosis and improve patient outcomes. METHODS: We used a catechol-based approach to produce a drug-releasing multilayer coating adherent to mechanical valves. The hemodynamic performance of coated Open Pivot valves was verified in a heart model tester, and coating durability in the long term was assessed in a durability tester producing accelerated cardiac cycles. Coating antithrombotic activity was evaluated in vitro with human plasma or whole blood under static and flow conditions and in vivo after surgical valve implantation in a pig's thoracic aorta. RESULTS: We developed an antithrombotic coating consisting of ticagrelor- and minocycline-releasing cross-linked nanogels covalently linked to polyethylene glycol. We demonstrated the hydrodynamic performance, durability, and hemocompatibility of coated valves. The coating did not increase the contact phase activation of coagulation, and it prevented plasma protein adsorption, platelet adhesion, and thrombus formation. Implantation of coated valves in nonanticoagulated pigs for 1 month efficiently reduced valve thrombosis compared with noncoated valves. CONCLUSION: Our coating efficiently inhibited mechanical valve thrombosis, which might solve the issues of anticoagulant use in patients and the number of revision surgeries due to valve thrombosis despite anticoagulation.
