The overall goal of this research proposal is to design, engineer, and test in vivo a type I collagen-based endovascular template for the therapy of cerebral aneurysms. Cerebral aneurysms are present in at least 0.5-1.0% of the United States population, and aneurysm rupture remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Even in major referral centers, a significant number of aneurysms are not amenable to surgical repair. The device described in this proposal is specifically designed to act as a vascular template to support and guide vascular regeneration at the base of the aneurysm and to inhibit blood flow into the aneurysm sac, resulting in thrombosis of the aneurysm. A preliminary in vitro study was performed using the initial prototype developed by the principle investigator of this proposal. The results demonstrated that type I collagen may be used to construct a hemocompatible tubular template that produces a modest reduction in arterial luminal dimension and little change in flow. During phase I, we will examine the in vivo feasibility of the collagen template in a rabbit model, while in phase II we will extend the period of study in the rabbit model to evaluate the long term effects of the collagen template. The neurosurgical and interventional neuroradiology community is in serious need of a viable therapy for wide-neck aneurysms. If an acceptable template is developed, it is estimated that the yearly gross revenues from such a template would exceed at least $100 million. Furthermore, the work described in this proposal could be expanded to apply to a wide range of clinical applications, including percutaneous angioplasty, closure of arteriovenous fistulae, and billary, renal and esophageal procedures. If widely applied clinically, a collagen-based template could generate well over $1 billion per year worldwide. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: See above abstract

这项研究提案的总体目标是设计、设计和在体内测试一种基于I型胶原的血管内模板，用于治疗脑动脉瘤。美国至少0.5-1.0%的人口存在脑动脉瘤，动脉瘤破裂仍然是发病率和死亡率的重要原因。即使在主要的转诊中心，也有相当数量的动脉瘤不适合手术修复。这项建议中描述的装置是专门设计作为血管模板的，以支持和引导动脉瘤底部的血管再生，并抑制血液流入动脉瘤囊，导致动脉瘤血栓形成。初步的体外研究是使用由该提案的首席调查员开发的初始原型进行的。结果表明，I型胶原可以用来构建一种血液相容的管状模板，该模板可以产生适度的动脉管腔尺寸减小和几乎不改变的血流。在第一阶段，我们将研究胶原模板在兔模型中的体内可行性，而在第二阶段，我们将延长在兔模型中的研究期，以评估胶原模板的长期效果。神经外科和介入神经放射学领域迫切需要一种可行的治疗宽颈动脉瘤的方法。如果开发出一个可接受的模板，估计这种模板每年的总收入将至少超过1亿美元。此外，这项建议中描述的工作可以扩大到广泛的临床应用，包括经皮血管成形术，动静脉瘘的闭合，以及胆道、肾脏和食道手术。如果广泛应用于临床，以胶原蛋白为基础的模板每年可在全球产生超过10亿美元的收入。建议的商业应用：见上文摘要
