Brief Summary: Significant experience with biodegradable materials has been reported in the orthopedic literature in particular biodegradable stents have been used in the endovascular and urologic epithelium Stents are typically made from polymeric materials including Polylactic Acid PLA Polyglycolide PGA Polydioxanone PDO Polyethyleneglycol PEG Polycaprolactone PCL etc which have been cleared or approved by the FDA and CE-marked as drug carriers sutures and bone fixatives The material is degraded by hydrolysis in eg lactic acid which is removed from the body by normal metabolic pathways In the field of gastroenterology these stents were first introduced in patients with an esophageal stenosis with encouraging results although esophageal hyperplasia was a frequently encountered complication

For biliary applications biodegradable stents have been evaluated in several in-vitro and animal studies that demonstrated that the stents were safe and well tolerated These stents provided an adequate radial force and resulted in complete stricture resolution within several months The stents did not show any signs of biliary hyperplasia or integration in the epithelium Moreover they seem to have a self-clearing effect on attached biofilm as the outer layer sloughs during the degradation process similarly to the exfoliation of human skin Also the stent could be removed from the bile duct thus offering the possibility of extraction if necessary at various times after implantation

In 2010 Petryl was the first to use a biodegradable stent in the human bile duct A stent was successfully placed using percutaneous transhepatic cholangiograpy in two patients with a postsurgical intrahepatic biliary stricture Transient cholangitis was the only complication encountered and during the two years of follow-up the bile duct remained patent

Later Mauri et al presented in 2013 and 2016 results of a 107 patient study on a polydioxanone biodegradable biliary stent The results have been published in the Journal of the European Society of Radiology The authors concluded that percutaneous placement of a biodegradable biliary stent is a feasible and safe strategy to treat benign biliary strictures refractory to standard bilioplasty with promising results in the mid-term period

Prior to this study the ARCHIMEDES device was assessed in the ARCHIMEDES Investigational study which has completed enrolment with 53 patients included and the results are not yet published In this study approximately half the stents were deployed in the bile duct 53 and half in the pancreatic duct All 53 patients have either completed exited or no longer have the study device No patient remains in the study with a stent in place during the time of the last patient follow-ups The study concluded without any device-related SAE Bilirubin was reduced by 256 which exceeded the 20 clinical success criterion quality of life score improved from 37 to 79 procedural success was rated 14 good to excellent and technical success was achieved in all 53 patients

Data from the ARCHIMEDES Investigational study was used for CE Mark approval which was obtained in June 2018
