| Popis: | Despite meticulous adherence to presently known principles of myocardial preservation, reperfusion after aortic cross-clamping results in a unique injury manifested by decreasing high-energy phosphate levels and increased coronary resistance. We hypothesize that platelet deposition into the coronary microvasculature is a major factor in reperfusion injury. To differentiate platelet deposition due to subendocardial hemorrhage from deposition due to vascular entrapment, we infused 111In-labeled platelets together with 51Cr-labeled erythrocytes into 15 dogs that were on normothermic bypass and subjected to 60 minutes of global ischemia followed by 30 minutes of reperfusion. Platelet deposition is indicated only when the proportion of platelets to erythrocytes in tissue exceeds that measured by peripheral blood. Myocardial biopsy specimens were obtained after 10 minutes of bypass, 120 minutes of continuous bypass (Group I), and at the end of reperfusion after global ischemia (Group II). In five dogs (Group III), dipyridamole (1 mg/kg), an antiplatelet activation agent, was administered in the preischemic period. Platelet deposition was expressed as the number of radioactive-labeled platelets deposited per gram of tissue. Bypass for 120 minutes resulted in only a minimal increase in platelet deposition. However, normothermic ischemia followed by reperfusion resulted in over a twofold increase in platelet deposition compared to controls. Pretreatment with dipyridamole appeared to avoid platelet deposition. These data indicate that platelet deposition in the coronary microcirculation following surgically induced myocardial ischemia may be associated with reperfusion injury and that antiplatelet drugs alter this sequence. |
