Initial coronary occlusion improves tolerance to subsequent prolonged balloon inflations

Abstract: An acute coronary occlusion with severe ischemic signs during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was successfully treated with a long balloon inflation. Subsequent balloon inflations did not produce ischemic signs. Distal coronary occlusion pressure rose significantly during balloon inflations of more than 2 min. It is hypothesized that an initial ischemic occlusion may improve tolerance to prolonged coronary occlusions. The underlying mechanism may be that further coronary collateral circulation i… Show more

“…An 8-french guiding catheter (USCI) was positioned into the coronary ostium and an appropriately sized 'steerable-balloon dilation catheter (USCI) posi tioned through the guiding catheter across the stenotic lesion. In all patients, angioplasty was performed by three or more balloon infla tions (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)4.3 ± 1.8 times) for 90 s. Initially, balloon inflation was repeated three times with pressures of 6, 8 and 10 atm. The angio plasty was concluded when optimal dilation was obtained.…”

“…However, per cutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) serves as a useful model in the study of the clinical, elec- trocardiographic, systemic and coronary hemodynamic and myocardial metabolic responses to controlled coro nary-artery occlusion. Some reports describe evidence of adaptation to ischemia during PTCA [4][5][6], However, the greatest interest in this 'ischemic preconditioning' is in its mechanism. In the present study, we investigated, clini cally.…”

“…Indirect evidence that preconditioning can occur in man derives from studies of indirect markers of regional ischemia during coronary angioplasty balloon inflations (BIs) [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. The bulk of the evidence supporting preconditioning in man has been derived from studies of the electrocardiographic consequences of repeated BIs during coronary angioplasty.…”

“…A number of confounding factors may contribute to confusion over preconditioning of the human myocardium during coronary angioplasty. Firstly, it is clear that in a number of positive reports, there may have been recruitment of additional collateral flow to the ischemic zone following the initial BI [2, 6]. Secondly, in the majority of studies, the duration of the BIs ranged from 30 to 120 s; however, studies in rabbits suggest that at least 120 s of ischemia may be necessary to initiate preconditioning [8].…”
