Effective value of myocardial tissue oxygen pressure monitoring during cold ischaemia and reperfusion

چکیده
Introduction: In former studies on ischaemic preconditioning, adenosine was found to trigger this cardioprotective process. After promising experiments in rabbit hearts and the first clinical use during emergency percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in patients, we started to investigate the ability of adenosine to protect the myocardium during standard cross-clamping bypass surgery. Because adenosine is metabolized within a few seconds, no systemic effects occur.

Objective(s): Reperfusion of ischaemic myocardium results in reduced nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) leading to endothelial dysfunction and subsequent tissue damage. Impaired NO biosynthesis may be partly due to increased levels of asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of eNOS. As dimethylarginine dimet...

BACKGROUND Alleviation of oxidative stress via targeted delivery of catalase to the pulmonary endothelium by conjugation of angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) monoclonal antibodies attenuates lung injury in an in vivo model of warm lung ischaemia and reperfusion. This study evaluates treatment of lung allografts with conjugates of anti-ACE antibody with catalase (9B9-CAT) in the setting of hyp...
متن کاملLimited Sanguineous Reperfusion Reduces Ventricular Fibrillation Following Intermittent Cold Crystalloid Cardioplegic Arrest
Introduction A still and bloodless operative field provides the surgeon with optimal conditions to perform delicate coronary anastomosis, while effective myocardial protection avoids myocardial injury during this process.1 Cold crystalloid cardioplegia has been the cornerstone of this strategy by inducing electromechanical arrest and further reducing oxygen demand with hypothermia.2 In spite of...
متن کاملSuccinate metabolism: a new therapeutic target for myocardial reperfusion injury.
Myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is a major cause of death worldwide and remains a disease for which current clinical therapies are strikingly deficient. While the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a critical driver of tissue damage upon reperfusion, the precise mechanisms underlying ROS production have remained elusive. More recently, it has been demonstr...
متن کاملReperfusion strategy after regional ischaemia: simulation of emergency revascularization and effects of integrated cardioplegia on myocardial resuscitation.
We induced ischaemia in the left anterior descending artery of 16 dogs while the heart was beating, followed by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), aortic cross clamping and blood cardioplegia. Half of the dogs received integrated blood cardioplegia and sudden uncontrolled reperfusion (group A) while the others received the same cardioplegia followed by pressure-controlled tepid initial reperfusion (...
