Failure of Pentoxifylline or Cilostazol to Improve Blood and Plasma Viscosity, Fibrinogen, and Erythrocyte Deformability in Claudication

Peripheral artery disease is associated with altered blood rheologic properties, including increased viscosity and decreased red blood cell (RBC) deformability. Pentoxifylline and cilostazol are available therapies for intermittent claudication. Improvement of blood viscosity and erythrocyte deforma...

description Peripheral artery disease is associated with altered blood rheologic properties, including increased viscosity and decreased red blood cell (RBC) deformability. Pentoxifylline and cilostazol are available therapies for intermittent claudication. Improvement of blood viscosity and erythrocyte deformability have been cited as potential mechanisms of action for pentox ifylline. Cilostazol is a new drug with antiplatelet and vasodilating activity, but the mechanism by which it promotes an improvement in walking is not known. This study was performed to evaluate and compare the hemorheologic effects of pentoxifylline and cilostazol on viscosity, fibrinogen levels, and erythrocyte deformability when administered to adults with moderate to severe claudication. A double-blind, controlled study was conducted and included 59 patients (46 male, 13 female; mean age 65 yr) randomized to pentoxifylline 400 mg orally thrice daily (n=20), cilostazol 100 mg orally twice daily (n=19), or placebo (n=20); all subjects were observed for 24 weeks. Walking ability was assessed before, during, and at the conclusion of treatment by standard constant speed, variable grade treadmill testing. Erythrocyte deforma bility was measured by passage of washed RBCs, 10% hematocrit in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), through a polycarbonate membrane with 4.7 to 5.0 μm pores. Whole blood and plasma viscosity were measured using a cone/plate viscometer at variable shear rates (from 4.5 to 450 sec -1). Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was measured by a modified Westergren technique. Fibrinogen was assayed by a commercial reference laboratory. Plasma viscosities did not change significantly in any treatment group. Within-group comparisons demonstrated a significant (p
