Résumé

Pre-stenting of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is commonly performed before percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI), to relieve obstruction, prevent valved stent fractures, and provide a landing zone. This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of the stents currently used to perform pre-stenting of the RVOT. We assessed five commercially available stents: Cheatham-Platinum Stent ("CP Stent"), AndraStent XL, AndraStent XXL, Optimus XL, and Optimus XXL. Following stent deployment at nominal pressure, radial and longitudinal elastic recoils and radial resistance were measured. The bending stiffness of the stents crimped onto the balloons was also evaluated. Three samples were tested for each stent. Our study showed no significant difference between the stent platforms in terms of radial elastic recoil, which was relatively low (< 10%). The longitudinal elastic recoil was also low for all the devices (< 5%). Significant differences were observed in radial resistance (P < 0.001). CP Stent and AndraStent XL exhibited the highest radial resistances. The bending stiffnesses of the stents crimped on their balloons were significantly different (P < 0.00001). Optimus XL and XXL were more flexible than the other stents. This study highlights the significant differences between the stents currently used in RVOT pre-stenting. Stents with good radial resistance are preferred, especially for calcified vessels, and flexibility is crucial for tortuous vessels. We proposed an algorithm for selecting the most suitable stent according to the need for radial force and flexibility, which will help inform clinicians considering RVOT revalvulation.
