چکیده
BACKGROUND Prostaglandin E1 is a potent vasodilator with anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet effects. We tested the hypothesis that prostaglandin E1 attenuates or prevents platelet aggregation-associated cyclic flow variations (CFVs) in severely stenosed and endothelium-injured coronary arteries. METHODS AND RESULTS We induced CFVs in 21 dogs by placing an external constrictor around the left anterior descending coronary artery at the site where the endothelium had been mechanically injured. The blood flow velocity in the artery was monitored by a pulsed Doppler flow probe. Sixty minutes after CFVs were established, liposome-bound prostaglandin E1, a stable formulation, was administered intravenously to 12 dogs at incremental doses of 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2 micrograms/kg body wt; it abolished CFVs in 8 of the 12 dogs (67%). After CFVs were eliminated, epinephrine was infused intravenously, and at a dose of 6.6 +/- 1.6 micrograms/min, it restored CFVs in 7 of 7 dogs. Control dogs (n = 9) were treated with free prostaglandin E1, which did not abolish CFVs in any dog. CONCLUSIONS Liposome-bound but not free prostaglandin E1 effectively diminishes CFVs in severely stenosed and endothelium-injured canine coronary arteries.

Background. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that clopidogrel, a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation, can eliminate cyclic flow variations in stenosed and endothelium-injured coronary and femoral arteries in nonhuman primates. Methods and Results. We studied five anesthetized, open-chest baboons. Blood flow velocity in the coronary and femoral arteries was monitored by pulsed...

متن کاملActive oxygen species play a role in mediating platelet aggregation and cyclic flow variations in severely stenosed and endothelium-injured coronary arteries.
A canine model with cyclic flow variations (CFVs) in stenosed and endothelium-injured coronary arteries was used to examine the role of active oxygen species in platelet aggregation in vivo. We studied 90 anesthetized dogs in which the pericardial cavity was opened and the heart was exposed. The velocity of blood flow in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was monitored by a puls...
متن کاملSynthesis of lipoxygenase and epoxygenase products of arachidonic acid by normal and stenosed canine coronary arteries.
Coronary vascular injury promotes blood cell-vessel wall interactions that influence arachidonic acid metabolism and coronary blood flow patterns. Since lipoxygenase and cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid are synthesized by vascular and inflammatory cells and have a variety of important biological actions, we investigated the metabolism of arachidonic acid by these pat...
