A prostacyclin agonist and an omental flap increased myocardial blood flow in a porcine chronic ischemia model
We hypothesized that therapeutic efficacy may be augmented by a combination of placing a sheet immersed in ONO-1301SR, a slow-release synthetic prostacyclin agonist-inducing multiproangiogenic cytokines, over the left ventricle and a pedicled omental flap in a chronic myocardial infarct heart.

Zusammenfassung: | We hypothesized that therapeutic efficacy may be augmented by a combination of placing a sheet immersed in ONO-1301SR, a slow-release synthetic prostacyclin agonist-inducing multiproangiogenic cytokines, over the left ventricle and a pedicled omental flap in a chronic myocardial infarct heart.
A minipig chronic myocardial infarction was generated by placing an ameroid constrictor ring around the left anterior descending artery for 4 weeks. The minipigs were then assigned into 4 groups of 6 each: sham, omental flap only, ONO-1301SR only, and ONO-1301SR combined with an omental flap (combined). Four weeks after treatment, therapeutic efficacy was evaluated histologically and via several modalities used in the clinical setting.
In an angiogram and pressure wire study, the combined group induced development of collateral arteries to decrease the resistance and increase the flow reserve of microvasculature in the left circumflex territory. In a 13N-ammonia positron emission tomography study, the combined group displayed a prominent increase in myocardial blood flow and myocardial flow reserve in the left circumflex territory, particularly at the infarct-border region. Consequently, the combined group showed greater regional cardiac function in the left circumflex territory particularly at the infarct-border region, contributing to a greater global ejection fraction with a smaller left ventricular endosystolic volume. Pathologically, attenuated fibrosis, nonswollen myocytes, and upgraded capillary density and proangiogenic cytokines were prominent in the combined group.
ONO-1301SR combined with a pedicled omental flap synergistically promoted myocardial angiogenesis, leading to function recovery in a porcine chronic myocardial infarction model. |
