Abstract Details

2011, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Biology.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and atherosclerosis is its major grounds. Based on statistics for aging population alone, a conservative prediction is, there will be approximately 190,000 peripheral vascular procedures performed in 2020 (American heart association). A major component of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is obstruction of blood flow to the lower extremities from atherosclerosis. Of the arteries in the lower extremity, the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is the most commonly affected by PAD. There is no ideal endovascular solution to treating lower extremity occlusive disease, as they have not yet proven to be efficacious in the SFA and in some cases, have performed worse than bare metal stents. The thesis will focus on PeriTec Bioscience’s novel peritoneum lined stent (PLS) development and its commercialization plan. The PLS has shown excellent performance in animal and early human clinical studies. The PLS is attached to a self expandable stent which must be crimped and attached to the catheter at the time of surgery for deployment in the SFA.
