Resistance of the internal mammary artery to restenosis: a histomorphologic study of various porcine arteries.
2007
<i>Background/Aims:</i> Restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the internal mammary artery (IMA) grafts is much less pronounced than in other arteries and venous grafts. The aim of the study was to test whether various arteries respond differently to dilatation. <i>Methods:</i> PTA of the IMA, carotid, renal and circumflex coronary (RCx) arteries was performed in 9 pigs (balloon to artery ratio of 1:1.5). After 8 weeks, angiography was repeated and vessels prepared for histological analysis. Immunohistochemical staining was done to examine proliferative activity (Ki67) and to identify the vasa vasorum of the adventitia (F VIII-RA). <i>R…
Das Verhalten der Kollateralen bei der perkutanen transluminalen Angioplastie
1990
The fate of 106 collaterals was investigated following percutaneous transluminal dilatation of 113 stenoses and occlusions. Following dilatation, 78% of collaterals were unchanged and 22% could no longer be demonstrated. The success of the dilatation had no bearing on the fate of the collaterals. Collaterals beginning or ending in a dilated portion of vessel disappeared more frequently (30%) than the others (11%). Following five dilatations, some vessels were demonstrated in the area of stenosis, which had not been demonstrated previously. Evidently local events, such as displacement of arteriosclerotic plaques may lead to occlusion or reopening of vessels. Remaining collaterals may be of g…

Rolipram inhibits airway microvascular leakage induced by platelet-activating factor, histamine and bradykinin in guinea-pigs.
1993
Abstract Rolipram (0·1–1000 μg kg−1, i.v.) reduced the increase in microvascular permeability induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF; 50 ng kg−1, i.v.) at different sites of the guinea-pig airways. Rolipram (1–100μg kg−1, i.v.) inhibited histamine (30μg kg−1, i.v.)-and bradykinin (0·3 μg kg, i.v.)-induced airway microvascular leakage. These effects of rolipram were obtained at doses which inhibit histamine (7–20 μg kg−1 min−1)-induced bronchoconstriction (IC50 = 3 ± 1 μg kg, i.v.) without depressing arterial blood pressure in the guinea-pig. Aminophylline (50 mg kg−1) did not change the effect of PAF. The anti-exudative effect of rolipram is of potential therapeutic value in asthma.
Coronary venous therapy to improve microvascular dysfunction.
2021
The coronary circulation is a complex system in which vascular resistances are determined by an interplay of forces in at least three compartments: the epicardial, the microvascular, and the venous district. Cardiologists, and particularly interventional cardiologists, normallly place the focus of their attention on diseases of the epicardial coronary circulation as possible causes of coronary syndromes and neglect the importance of the other two compartments of coronary circulation. The study of the coronary microcirculation, an increasingly recognized source of ischemia, has long been disregarded, but is witnessing a revival since the (re-)introduction of diagnostic tools in the better eq…
Damage-associated molecular pattern activated Toll-like receptor 4 signalling modulates blood pressure in L-NAME-induced hypertension
2013
Aims Recent publications have shed new light on the role of the adaptive and innate immune system in the pathogenesis of hypertension. However, there are limited data whether receptors of the innate immune system may influence blood pressure. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a pattern recognition receptor, is a key component of the innate immune system, which is activated by exogenous and endogenous ligands. Hypertension is associated with end-organ damage and thus might lead to the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which are endogenous activators of TLR4 receptors. The present study aimed to elucidate whether TLR4 signalling is able to modulate vascular contractility in …
Modulatory role of a constitutively active population of α1D-adrenoceptors in conductance arteries
2002
A constitutively active population of α1D-adrenoceptors in iliac and proximal, distal, and small mesenteric rat arteries was studied. The increase in resting tone (IRT) that evidences it was observed only in iliac and proximal mesenteric and was inhibited by prazosin (pIC50 = 9.57), 5-methylurapidil (pIC50 = 7.61), and BMY 7378 (pIC50 = 8.77). Chloroethylchlonidine (100 μmol/l) did not affect IRT, but when added before the other antagonists it blocked their effect. The potency shown by BMY 7378 confirms the α1D-subtype as responsible for IRT. BMY 7378 displayed greater inhibition of adrenergic responses in iliac (pIC50 = 7.57 ± 0.11) and proximal mesenteric arteries (pIC50 = 8.05 ± 0.2) th…
Development of the coronary arteries in a murine model of transposition of great arteries.
2003
Transposition of great arteries in humans is associated with a wide spectrum of coronary artery patterns. However, no information is available about how this pattern diversity develops. We have studied the development of the coronary arteries in mouse embryos with a targeted mutation of perlecan, a mutation that leads to ventriculo-arterial discordance and complete transposition in about 70% of the embryos. The perlecan-deficient embryos bearing complete transposition showed a coronary artery pattern consisting of right and left coronary arteries arising from the morphologically dorsal and ventral sinuses of Valsalva, respectively. The left coronary artery gives rise to a large septal arter…
Ischemia in patients with no obstructive coronary artery disease: classification, diagnosis and treatment of coronary microvascular dysfunction
2020
Patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction represent a widespread population, and despite the good prognosis, many of them, because of the angina symptoms, have a poor quality of life with strong limitations in their daily activities. In 2017, a new classification of microvascular dysfunction as well as a new definition of ischemia in patients with no obstructive coronary artery disease became available. This new definition improves Kemp's initial work, where cardiac X syndrome was initially described. This work summarizes the last updates on the subject with particular attention to the new classification of microvascular dysfunction, with particular attention to microvascular and vas…
