Neointimal hyperplasia, a pathological response to arterial interventions or injury, often leads to restenosis and recurrent narrowing or occlusion, particularly in the peripheral vasculature. Its prevalence and negative impact on the long-term success of vascular interventions have driven extensive research aimed at better understanding the condition and developing effective therapies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of emerging bioengineering strategies for treating neointimal hyperplasia in peripheral vessels. These approaches include novel therapeutics and cell-based technologies designed to promote re-endothelialization, modulate vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype, reduce inflammation, scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), and enhance biomechanical compatibility between grafts and native vessels. Furthermore, advanced therapeutic delivery modalities are highlighted for their potential to achieve targeted, localized treatment at injury sites. This review also explores underrepresented therapeutic targets beyond traditional approaches, offering new opportunities for intervention. The multifaceted examination underscores the challenge of neointimal hyperplasia and presents a promising roadmap toward more effective treatments, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes after vascular interventions.
新生内膜增生是对动脉干预或损伤的一种病理反应,常导致再狭窄以及反复的管腔狭窄或闭塞,在外周血管系统中尤为常见。其发生率以及对血管干预长期成功的负面影响推动了广泛的研究,旨在更好地了解这种病症并开发有效的治疗方法。本综述全面概述了用于治疗外周血管新生内膜增生的新兴生物工程策略。这些方法包括旨在促进再内皮化、调节血管平滑肌细胞(VSMC)表型、减轻炎症、清除活性氧(ROS)以及增强移植物与天然血管之间生物力学相容性的新型疗法和基于细胞的技术。此外,还强调了先进的治疗递送方式在损伤部位实现靶向、局部治疗的潜力。本综述还探讨了传统方法之外未得到充分研究的治疗靶点,为干预提供了新的机会。这种多方面的审视凸显了新生内膜增生的挑战,并为更有效的治疗提供了一条充满希望的路线图,最终目标是改善血管干预后的患者预后。
