Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This study evaluated the impact of low-pressure balloon devices on coronary morphology and function. An active coronary perfusion catheter (2.5-mm balloon diameter, inflation with 1 bar for 30 min) was placed in the left anterior descending coronary artery of 12 German landrace pigs under general anesthesia. After 3 mo, coronary segments with balloon contact were compared with control segments taken from the right coronary artery as to histology, vascular reactivity, and expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Thirty-three balloon treated segments were analyzed. Twenty of these segments (61%) showed neointima formation. In these segments endothelium-independent relaxation induced by sodium nitroprusside was preserved. However, endothelium-dependent bradykinin-induced relaxation was significantly attenuated compared with both the control segments and the balloon-treated segments without neointima formation. In >60% of the ballooned arterial segments examined, low-pressure balloon devices induced neointima formation accompanied by reduced endothelium-dependent relaxation. Thus interventions with so-called nontraumatic coronary devices can induce relevant vascular injury, with potential adverse clinical consequences.
