Endogenous myocardial angiogenesis and revascularization using a gastric submucosal patch.
BACKGROUND The gastrointestinal submucosa physiologically produces angiogenic proteins. We examined whether these properties could lead to endogenous myocardial angiogenesis in a swine model of chronic ischemia. METHODS Fifteen Yorkshire swine underwent ameroid constrictor placement around the circumflex artery and either lateral epicardial abrasion, creation of a gastroepiploic artery (GEA) ...
متن کاملAngiogenesis by gene therapy: a new horizon for myocardial revascularization?
The concept of therapeutic angiogenesis is based on the premise that the potential for vascular growth inherent in vascular tissue can be utilized to promote the development of new blood vessels under the influence of the appropriate growth factors. Direct application of growth factors of the fibroblast (acidic, basic fibroblast growth factor, FGF-5), endothelial (vascular endothelial growth fa...
متن کاملDelivery strategies to achieve therapeutic myocardial angiogenesis.
The use of recombinant genes or growth factors to enhance myocardial collateral blood vessel function may represent a new approach to the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Proof of concept has been demonstrated in animal models of myocardial ischemia, and clinical trials are underway. Currently, it is unknown which is the safest and most effective delivery strategy to induce clinically impor...
متن کاملLongevity of the placebo effect in the therapeutic angiogenesis and laser myocardial revascularization trials in patients with coronary heart disease.
The long-term beneficial effects of placebo therapy were evaluated in angiogenesis and laser myocardial revascularization trials in patients who had end-stage coronary heart disease. Improvements in mean angina class, exercise treadmill time, and quality of life were mostly maintained at 30 +/- 6 months of follow-up. Persistence of effect cannot be used as evidence of efficacy, and double-blind...
متن کاملIndirect myocardial revascularization: great therapeutic potential if understanding the mechanisms.
Strategies for indirect myocardial revascularization in end stage ischemic coronary artery disease have been described and are still developing, including transmyocardial laser revascularization, ischemic preconditioning, low-energy shock wave therapy, or epicardial transplantation of latissimus dorsi muscle flap. All of them are intended to induce angiogenesis and generate neocollaterals to im...
