Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVES: to study the effects of hypervolaemic haemodilution with hypertonic saline-dextran solution (HSD) on regional blood flow and thrombogenicity of small diameter polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts. DESIGN: blood flow in rabbit aorta, vena cava and femoral, renal and ear arteries was determined in five groups: controls, isovolaemic haemodilution with dextran-70 (10 ml/kg body weight (b.w. )), hypervolaemic haemodilution (10 ml/kg b.w.) with either dextran-70, 7.5% NaCl or a combination of dextran and NaCl (HSD). In a second series PTFE grafts were inserted into the vena cava of rabbits treated with hypervolaemic haemodilution with dextran, hypertonic saline or HSD and examined after two days. RESULTS: blood flow increased in aorta, vena cava and femoral artery after haemodilution. The increase was transient in animals treated with hypertonic NaCl alone but sustained in the dextran-70 groups. The grafts from animals treated with hypertonic saline alone had a lower thrombus mass and higher blood flow compared to those from rabbits haemodiluted with dextran-70 only, indicating that both dextran and NaCl have antithrombotic effects. Superior results were obtained with HSD solution. CONCLUSIONS: HSD solution has a strong flow-promoting action in several vascular beds and beneficial effects on the patency of small diameter vessel grafts.
