RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The Lumi-Solve photo-angioplasty drug eluting balloon catheter (DEBc) may afford safety advantages over current DEBc. Lumi-Solve utilises the guidewire (GW) port and lumen to deliver fibre-optic UV365nm light to the angioplasty balloon which may be problematic. We explore and evaluate alternative Lumi-Solve design options to circumvent fibre-optic use of the GW port and lumen which may enhance efficacy and clinical utility. METHODS: Effects of guidewire shadowing (GWS) on visible and UV365nm light transmission were evaluated and modelled in-silico. To evaluate the effect of a dedicated intra-balloon fibre-optic port, modified angioplasty balloons and sections of translucent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) GW port tubing were utilised. Investigation of the effect of GWS on chemical and biological photo-activation of balloon surface drug was performed utilising LCMS analysis and inhibition of histone deacetylase activity (HDACi) was measured in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). RESULTS: Parallel fibre-optic and GW port configurations generated a GWS of approximately 18.0% of the evaluable balloon surface area and attenuated both visible and UV light intensity by 20.0-25.0% and reduced chemical photo-activation of balloon surface drug and HDACi by at least 40-45%. Alternative fibre-optic port configurations including a spiral design significantly mitigated GWS effects on UV light transmission. CONCLUSIONS: To avoid use of the GW port and its associated complications a dedicated third port and lumen for the Lumi-Solve fibre-optic may be required. To maximize balloon surface chemical and biological photo-activation, non-parallel, intra-balloon, fibre-optic lumen trajectories, including a spiral design may be useful.
