Cardioprotective Effect of Aprotinin on Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Abstract: Although all patients were in reasonable condition, less myocardial enzyme leakage occurred on the aprotinin group, suggesting that aprotinin has a protective effect on the myocardium beyond that achieved with blood cardioplegia and systemic hypothermia. Because of aprotinin's effects on multiple targets of metabolism, its protective value might increase in more complicated cases.

“…It should be noted that we have no established biological marker in the blood for acute lung injury. Indeed, only LDH has been occasionally used for this purpose but it is highly nonspecific and characterised by slow kinetics [43,44]. Regardless we observed a weak correlation between greatest LDH and SPB changes.…”

“…Karaca studied the expression alteration of lactate dehydrogenase gene, induced by ischemia-reperfusion. They previously proved that the expression of ldh gene rises in response to ischemia (Karaca et al, 2006;Xu et al, 2006), but at the same time our results have shown that in response to normoxic perfusion LDH was down- Hemodynamic parameters, like coronary flow and heart rate were also measured. None of these parameters changed in the perfused groups when compared to controls.…”

“…Considering the high sensitivity, high specificity, and strong predictive value of cTnI for myocardial injury, cTnI could be a strong predictor for assessment of myocardial injury after CABG. Protective measures such as aprotinin, a serine protease inhibitor, can thus be administered accordingly, as demonstrated in a recent study 40 …”
