Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Arterial remodeling after balloon angioplasty has been recognized as a major determinant of restenosis. Perturbation of collagen metabolism might be important. After balloon injury, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression is upregulated. We investigated the effect of Batimastat, a nonspecific MMP inhibitor, on late lumen loss, arterial remodeling, and neointima formation after balloon dilation. METHODS AND RESULTS: In atherosclerotic iliac arteries of 12 Yucatan micropigs, balloon dilation was performed, with intravascular ultrasound and quantitative angiography used before and after balloon dilation and at 42-day follow-up. The animals were randomly divided into 2 groups, the Batimastat group (n=6) and the vehicle group (n=6). All animals were intraperitoneally injected with either Batimastat or a vehicle immediately after balloon dilation and at 2 weeks and 4 weeks after balloon dilation. Angiographic and echographic late lumen loss in the Batimastat group versus the vehicle group was 0.3+/-0.1 versus 0.8+/-0.1 mm (P=0.01) and 2.2+/-0.5 versus 4.9+/-0.7 mm(2) (P=0.004), respectively. Late media-bounded area loss was used as a measure of remodeling after balloon dilation and was 0.9+/-0.6 mm(2) in the Batimastat group compared with 3.8+/-0.8 mm(2) in the vehicle group (P=0.003, mixed model analysis P=0.01). Neointima formation was 1.3+/-0.3 mm(2) in the Batimastat group and 1.0+/-0.2 mm(2) in the vehicle group (P=0. 542). CONCLUSIONS: Metalloproteinase inhibition by Batimastat significantly reduced late lumen loss after balloon angioplasty by inhibition of constrictive arterial remodeling, whereas neointima formation was not inhibited by MMP inhibition.
