Objectives: This study sought to study the performance of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) coated stainless steel (SS) coronary stent in a pig coronary artery model. Background: Diamond is hard, biocompatible material which offers the possibility of functionalization by covalent carbon chemistry. Results: All animals survived and all stents were patent at 6 weeks. There was a significantly larger lumen area in the NCD group (4.8±0.97 versus 3.85±0.87 mm2, p=0.02). The neointimal hyperplasia area was smaller in the NCD group by 37% (1.57±0.63 mm2 in NCD group versus 2.39±0.87 mm2 in SS group, p=0.02). There was no difference in stent strut apposition and coverage between NCD and SS group.
