<html> Bu çalışma, küçük aort köklü hastalarda stentless aortik ksenogreftleri kullanarak tam kök aort kapak replasmanı cerrahi tekniğinin detaylı bir tanımını bildirmektedir. Erken morbidite ve mortalite çok düşüktür ve diğer raporlar ile olumlu karşılaştırılmalıdır 7 . Ağır kalsifiye koroner ostia, bu tekniğin anatomik bir kısıtlılığını oluşturmaktadır. Bu tekniğin diğer bir dezavantajı, genel operasyon süresi daha uzun süre dayanamayan fakir bir gene...

65 yaşından büyük hastalar için biyolojik aort kapak replasmanı önerilmektedir 1 . Küçük aort köklü hastalarda, üretici tarafından verilen etiketli büyüklüğe dayalı stentli bir biyolojik supap ikamesi implantasyonu fonksiyonel ihtiyaçları karşılamayabilir. Bu durumda, Rahimtoola önce protez-hasta uyumsuzluğunu (PPM) şöyle tanımladı : &quot; uyumsuzluk, etkili protez kapak alanı hastaya yerleştirildikten sonra normal bir insan kapağından daha az olduğunda görülüyor &quot; 2 . Vana protezinin efektif delik alanı, hastanın vücut ölçüsüne ve daha yaygın olarak hastanın vücut yüzey alanına bağlı olmalıdır. Çok küçük bir protez kapağının hemodinamik sonucu anormal yüksek transvalvüler gradienttir 3 . Transvalvüler gradient ve efektif arasındaki ilişkiVücut yüzey alanına (EOAI) endekslenmiş açıklık alanı eğrisel olup, endekslenmiş EOA 0.8 ila 0.9 cm 2 / m 2&#39;den düşük olduğunda bu degradeler katlanarak artmaktadır. Bu ilişkiye dayanarak, aortik pozisyon 4&#39;te , 0.85 cm2 / m2&#39;den daha düşük bir EOAI genellikle PPM için eşik olarak kabul edilmektedir. PPM&#39;nin erken ve geç klinik sonuçlara etkisi tartışmalıdır. Bununla birlikte, PPM&#39;nin sol ventrikül hipertrofisinin gerilemesini ve dolayısıyla sol ventrikül fonksiyonunun normalleşmesini ve semptomların hafifletilmesini olumsuz etkilediği bildirilmiştir4. Kalıcı sol ventrikül hipertrofisi artmış aritmi ve ani kardiyak ölüm riski ile ilişkilidir 5 . Bu nedenle, PPM&#39;yi olabildiğince önlemeniz önerilir 4 . Bir biyol ile planlanan aort kapak replasmanı için öngörülebilir bir PPM durumundaOpsiyonel olarak şunlardır: 1) stentli bir perikard kapısının implante edilmesinden kaynaklanan PPM&#39;yi kabul etmek, hastanın komorbiditeleri, daha büyük bir protezin implantasyonu için daha teknik olarak zorlayıcı bir ameliyat tekniğini yasakladığında, 2) aort kökünü yerleştirmek için büyütmektir Stentsiz bir biyolojik valf 7 veya homograft 8&#39;i yerleştirmek için daha geniş stentli bir valf yerine 6 veya 3). Aort kökü genişlemesinin, perioperatif kanamayı arttırdığı, yeniden sternotomi yapılması ve erken mortalitenin arttığı bildirilmiştir ( 9) . Aortik homogreftler, deneyimli cerrahlar tarafından implante edildiğinde mükemmel hemodinamik profiller ve uzun süreli iyi sonuçlar alabilirler 8 . Bununla birlikte, kalsifikasyon oranlarının sınırlı olması ve hızlandırılmış kalsifikasyon oranı, aortik homogreftleri, muadilleri olan domuz stentless aortik x&#39;e göre biyolojik kapak ikamelerini daha az uygun hale getirirEnogreftler 10 . Homogreftlerin eksikliği ve dezavantajları, alternatif biyolojik kapak ikamelerinin gelişimine ve gelişimine neden olmuştur. Bu amaçla, stentless aortik ksenograftlar klinik uygulamaya sokulmuştur11. Bir taraftan, hantal dikiş halkasının ortadan kaldırılması sayesinde, stentless aortik ksenograftlar homograftların hemodinamik avantajlarını çoğaltabilir. Öte yandan, anti-kalsifikasyon teknolojisinin uygulanmasının bir sonucu olarak, stentless aortik ksenograftların dayanıklılığı homogreflerin 11 uzunluğunu karşılamak ve hatta aşmak için optimize edilmiştir. Stentless aortik ksenograftların hemodinamik avantajları tam kök implantasyon ile sağlanır 12 . Subkoroner ve kök inklüzyon tekniklerinin aksine, tam kök implantasyon, stentless aortik ksenogrefti aort anülüsünün üzerine yerleştirir ve içinde bulunmaz. Bu gerçek veStentsiz supap yerine en büyük iç işlevsel çapın uygulanmasını sağlayan tam kök implantasyon tekniğini tercih etme gerekçesini eritebilir. Buna ek olarak, Valsalva sinüslerin kapak broşürleri ile en-blok halinde korunması, daha fazla fizyolojik açma ve kapama hareketine ve dolayısıyla broşürlerin ömrünün uzamasına neden olur. Bu avantaj, daha uzun vadeli sonuçların iyileştirilmesine katkıda bulunur 12 . Bununla birlikte, artan kanama potansiyeli ve olası koroner ostia anastomoz distorsiyonu ile ilgili endişeler, bir takım kalp cerrahlarının stentli bir biyolojik kapak ile klasik bir aort kapak replasmanından tam kök replasman ile temsil edilen daha teknik olarak talep eden prosedüre geçmesini önler Stentless aortik ksenograftlar. Stentless aortik ksenograftların olası hemodinamik avantajları göz önüne alındığında, tam rooAort kapak replasman&gt; n&gt; gerektiren küçük aort köklü hastalarda PPM&#39;yi önle- mek için ( Tablo 1 ). Bu hastalarda, yeni implante aort kapağı için 0,85 cm 2 / m 2&#39;den daha yüksek bir EOAI elde etmek amaçlanmaktadır. Bu niyet, Pibarot ve arkadaşlarının raporlarında, 0.85 cm2 / m 2&#39;den daha düşük projeksiyona tabi tutulmuş bir EOAI değerine sahip olan kapak ikame maddeleri için kabul edilemez derecede yüksek transvalvüler gradyanlar gösteren ve daha sonra semptomların hafifletilmesiyle ve yan etkilerin kalıcı riskini gösteren raporlara dayanmaktadır 3 , 4 . Ameliyat öncesi ekokardiyografide aortik anulus çapı 20 mm&#39;den az olan yetişkin hastaların ilk tanımlanmasının ardından, hastalar 1.6 m2&#39;den daha fazla bir vücut yüzey alanına sahip olmak için seçilir. Bu hasta alt grubunda, 19 mm stentli bir perikardiyal aort kapağının (EOA: 1.28 cm2 </0.85 cm2 / m2&#39;den daha düşük bir EOAI tahmini ile sonuçlanacaktır. Bu protokolde, bu hastalar stentless aortik ksenograftların tam kök implantasyonu için adaydır. Aort kapağının çıkarılmasından sonra nihai karar intraoperatif olarak verilir. Stentli perikardiyal aort kapağı için 19 mm&#39;lik bir valf ölçme cihazı aort halkasında aşırı sıkı geçerse ve hasta hemodinamik olarak kararlıysa ve daha uzun bir ameliyatı tolere edebilirse, stentless aortik ksenograftın tam kök implantasyonu gerçekleştirilir. Stentless aortik ksenograftlar için piyasada bulunan iki vana ikamesini birbirinin yerine kullanıyoruz (ayrıntılar için , Malzeme Tablosuna bakınız ). Her iki valf aort kapağını taşıyan domuz aort kökünden temin edilir. Bir kapak için anti-kalsifikasyon ( örn. XenoLogiX) ve antioksidan alfa amino oleik asit (AOA) ile düşük basınçlı (0-2 mmHg) fiksasyon işlemi kullanılarak hazırlanırlarDiğeri için laksifikasyon tedavisi. Stentli perikard kapakçıkları için 19 mm boyutlu kemiğin aortik anülüsten çok sıkı geçtiği hastalarda aortik anülüste stentless aortik ksenograft uydurma için 23 mm boyutlayıcı, 23 mm stentless aortik xenograft boyutunun Seçilmeli. Bu protokol, proksimal sütür hattının ve koroner anastomozların tedavisine vurgu yapılarak, stentless aortik ksenograftların tam kök implantasyon tekniğini detaylı olarak tarif eder. Bu tekniğin sınırlamaları ve alternatif seçenekler tartışılmıştır.

full-root aortic valve replacement by stentless aortic xenografts in patients with small aortic roots

Aort kapak replasmanları ile aort kapak replasmanına ihtiyaç duyan küçük aort köklerine sahip hastalarda, stentli perikart valfinin implantasyonu fonksiyonel ihtiyaçları karşılamayabilir. 0.85 cm2 / m2&#39;den daha düşük bir vücut yüzey alanına endeksli etkili bir delik alanına yol açan çok küçük stentli bir perikard valfinin implantasyonu protez hastası uyuşmazlığı (PPM) olarak kabul edilir. Bir PPM, sol ventrikül hipertrofisinin gerilemesi ve dolayısıyla sol ventrikül fonksiyonunun normale dönmesi ve semptomların hafifletilmesini olumsuz etkiler. Kalıcı sol ventrikül hipertrofisi artmış aritmi ve ani kardiyak ölüm riski ile ilişkilidir. Öngörülebilir PPM durumunda üç seçenek vardır: 1) stentli bir perikard kapısının implante edilmesiyle elde edilen PPM&#39;yi kabul etmek, hastanın eştanısı olan hastalar daha teknik olarak daha büyük bir protezi yerleştirme operatif tekniklerini yasakladığında, 2)Aort kökünün daha büyük bir stent kapak ikamesi yerine getirmesi, veya 3) stentsiz bir biyolojik vana veya bir homograft yerleştirilmesi. Stentli perikart kapaklı klasik aort kapak replasmanı ile karşılaştırıldığında, stentless aortik ksenograftların tam kök implantasyonu, belirli bir hastaya 3-4 mm&#39;lik daha büyük bir vana yerleştirme imkanı sunar, bu nedenle transvalvüler gradyanlarda önemli düşüşe izin verir. Bununla birlikte, bir takım kalp cerrahları, klasik bir aort kapak replasmanını stentli perikard vana ile stentless aortik ksenograftların tam kök implantasyonuna dönüştürmek konusunda isteksizdirler. Stentless aortik ksenograftların olası hemodinamik avantajları göz önüne alındığında, aort kapak replasmanı gerektiren küçük aort köklerine sahip hastalarda PPM&#39;yi önlemek için tam kök implantasyonu uyguladık.

Orthotopic Aortic Transplantation in Mice for the Study of Vascular Disease

Vascular procedures involving anastomoses in the mouse are generally thought to be difficult and highly dependent on the skill of the individual surgeon. This is largely true, but there are a number of important principles that can reduce the difficulty of these procedures and enhance reproducibility. Orthotopic aortic transplantation is an excellent procedure in which to learn these principles because it involves only two end-to-end anastomoses, but requires good suturing technique and handling of the vessels for consistent success. This procedure begins with the procurement of a length of abdominal aorta from a donor animal, followed by division of the native aorta in the recipient. The procured aorta is then placed between the divided ends of the recipient aorta and sutured into place using end-to-end anastomoses. To accomplish this objective successfully requires a high degree of concentration, good tools, a steady hand, and an appreciation of how easily the vasculature of a mouse can be damaged, resulting in thrombosis. Learning these important principles is what occupies most of the beginner's time when learning microsurgery in small rodents. Throughout this protocol, we refer to these important points. This model can be used to study vascular disease in a variety of different experimental systems1-8. In the context shown here, it is most often used for the study of post-transplant vascular disease, a common long-term complication of solid organ transplantation in which intimal hyperplasia occurs within the allograft. The primary advantage of the model is that it facilitates quantitative morphometric analyses and the transplanted vessel lies contiguous to the endogenous vessel, which can serve as an additional control9. The technique shown here is most often used for mice weighing 18-25 grams. We have accumulated most of our experience using the C57BL/6J, BALB/cJ, and C3H/HeJ strains.

We describe a technique in which a section of the abdominal aorta from a mouse is transplanted orthotopically to just below the renal arteries in an allogeneic or syngeneic recipient. This technique can be useful in studies in which transplantation of large arteries of uniform size is deemed advantageous.

A New Murine Model of Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Endovascular aneurysm exclusion is a validated technique to prevent aneurysm rupture. Long-term results highlight technique limitations and new aspects of Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) pathophysiology. There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm endograft exclusion model cheap and reproducible, which would allow deep investigations of AAA before and after treatment. We hereby describe how to induce, and then to exclude with a covered coronary stentgraft an abdominal aortic aneurysm in a rat. The well known elastase induced AAA model was first reported in 19901 in a rat, then described in mice2. Elastin degradation leads to dilation of the aorta with inflammatory infiltration of the abdominal wall and intra luminal thrombus, matching with human AAA. Endovascular exclusion with small covered stentgraft is then performed, excluding any interactions between circulating blood and the aneurysm thrombus. Appropriate exclusion and stentgraft patency is confirmed before euthanasia by an angiography thought the left carotid artery. Partial control of elastase diffusion makes aneurysm shape different for each animal. It is difficult to create an aneurysm, which will allow an appropriate length of aorta below the aneurysm for an easy stentgraft introduction, and with adequate proximal and distal neck to prevent endoleaks. Lots of failure can result to stentgraft introduction which sometimes lead to aorta tear with pain and troubles to stitch it, and endothelial damage with post op aorta thrombosis. Giving aspirin to rats before stentgraft implantation decreases failure rate without major hemorrhage. Clamping time activates neutrophils, endothelium and platelets, and may interfere with biological analysis.

Histological and biochemical modifications after aneurysm endograft exclusion are still unclear. We describe a new model of endograft implantation on a murine aneurysm. Through thrombus analysis with and without persistant circulating blood stream interface, and new endovascular biomaterials evaluation, this model will help to better understand endovascular aneurysm exclusion pathobiology.

Reproducible Arterial Denudation Injury by Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Clamping in a Murine Model

Percutaneous vascular interventions uniformly result in arterial denudation injuries that subsequently lead to thrombosis and restenosis. These complications can be attributed to impairments in re-endothelialization within the wound margins. Yet, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of re-endothelialization remain to be defined. While several animal models to study re-endothelialization after arterial denudation are available, few are performed in the mouse because of surgical limitations. This undermines the opportunity to exploit transgenic mouse lines and investigate the contribution of specific genes to the process of re-endothelialization. Here, we present a step-by-step protocol for creating a highly reproducible murine model of arterial denudation injury in the infrarenal abdominal aorta using external vascular clamping. Immunocytochemical staining of injured aortas for fibrinogen and &#946;-catenin demonstrate the exposure of a pro-thrombotic surface and the border of intact endothelium, respectively. The method presented here has the advantages of speed, excellent overall survival rate, and relative technical ease, creating a uniquely practical tool for imposing arterial denudation injury in transgenic mouse models. Using this method, investigators may elucidate the mechanisms of re-endothelialization under normal or pathological conditions.

Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of re-endothelialization following arterial denudation injury is of paramount importance in preventing thrombosis and restenosis of arteries. Here we describe a protocol for reproducible arterial denudation injury of the infrarenal abdominal aorta. The procedure was developed to investigate the underlying mechanisms that regulate endothelial regeneration using mouse models.

Minimally Invasive Transverse Aortic Constriction in Mice

Minimally invasive transverse aortic constriction (MTAC) is a more desirable method for the constriction of the transverse aorta in mice than standard open-chest transverse aortic constriction (TAC). Although transverse aortic constriction is a highly functional method for the induction of high pressure in the left ventricle, it is a more difficult and lengthy procedure due to its use of artificial ventilation with tracheal intubation. TAC is oftentimes also less survivable, as the newer method, MTAC, neither requires the cutting of the ribs and intercostal muscles nor tracheal intubation with a ventilation setup. In MTAC, as opposed to a thoracotomy to access to the chest cavity, the aortic arch is reached through a midline incision in the anterior neck. The thyroid is pulled back to reveal the sternal notch. The sternum is subsequently cut down to the second rib level, and the aortic arch is reached simply by separating the connective tissues and thymus. From there, a suture can be wrapped around the arch and tied with a spacer, and then the sternal cut and skin can be closed. MTAC is a much faster and less invasive way to induce left ventricular hypertension and enables the possibility for high-throughput studies. The success of the constriction can be verified using high-frequency trans-thoracic echocardiography, particularly color Doppler and pulsed-wave Doppler, to determine the flow velocities of the aortic arch and left and right carotid arteries, the dimension of the blood vessels, and the left ventricular function and morphology. A successful constriction will also trigger significant histopathological changes, such as cardiac muscle cell hypertrophy with interstitial and perivascular fibrosis. Here, the procedure of MTAC is described, demonstrating how the resulting flow changes in the carotid arteries can be examined with echocardiography, gross morphology, and histopathological changes in the heart.

Minimally invasive transverse aortic constriction (MTAC) conserves the essentials of regular transverse aortic constriction (TAC) while eliminating the use of a ventilator with tracheal intubation. It proves to be a highly desirable method for high-throughput studies on left ventricular overload, particularly in translational studies.

Standardized Technique of Aortic Valve Re-implantation for Valve-sparing Aortic Root Replacement

Despite the obvious advantages of the preservation of a normal aortic valve during aortic root replacement, the complexity of valve sparing procedures prevents a number of cardiac surgeons from incorporating them into their practice. The aim of this protocol is to describe a simplified and user-friendly technique of an aortic valve-sparing root replacement (VSRR) procedure by re-implantation of the aortic valve. Proper selection of patients and limitations of the technique are discussed.
In 54 consecutive patients, normal appearing aortic valves were re-implanted in a commercially available polyester prosthesis with pre-shaped sinuses by a simplified and standardized technique. Placement of the first row of the proximal suture line, choice of the prosthesis size, and adjustment of the height of the commissures of the patient to the fixed height of the sinus portion of the prosthesis were slightly modified from the reference techniques with the aim of increasing its feasibility for use by other cardiac surgeons. Early mortality and morbidity as well as 5-year survival, freedom from aortic valve reoperation, and freedom from recurrent moderate regurgitation were collected in all patients.
Thirty-day mortality, re-sternotomy for bleeding, re-sternotomy for mediastinitis, and the incidence of stroke were very low, 1.8% for each (1 of 54). No patient required permanent pace-maker implantation. At 5 years, survival, freedom from aortic valve reoperation, and freedom from recurrent moderate regurgitation were 97.5%, 95.2%, and 91.6%, respectively.
Mid-term results of our standardized technique of re-implantation of the aortic valve for valve-sparing aortic root replacement are very good and compare with more complex techniques reported by experienced surgeons. By following the present protocol of the standardized re-implantation technique, a greater number of cardiac surgeons can perform this procedure with comparable good results.

Valve-sparing aortic root replacement has the advantage of preserving the patient&#39;s own aortic valve. The complexity of the reported techniques to date restricts their use to a limited number of cardiac surgeons. This protocol describes step-by-step a standardized technique reproducible by a greater number of cardiac surgeons.

Technique and Patient Selection Criteria of Right Anterior Mini-Thoracotomy for Minimal Access Aortic Valve Replacement

Aortic valve stenosis has become the most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed countries, and is due to the aging of these populations. The incidence of the pathology increases with growing age after 65 years. Conventional surgical aortic valve replacement through median sternotomy has been the gold standard of patient care for symptomatic aortic valve stenosis. However, as the risk profile of patients worsens, other therapeutic strategies have been introduced in an attempt to maintain the excellent results obtained by the established surgical treatment. One of these approaches is represented by transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Although the outcomes of high-risk patients undergoing treatment for symptomatic aortic valve stenosis have improved with transcatheter aortic valve replacement, many patients with this condition remain candidates for surgical aortic valve replacement. In order to reduce the surgical trauma in patients who are candidates for surgical aortic valve replacement, minimally invasive approaches have garnered interest during the past decade. Since the introduction of right anterior thoracotomy for aortic valve replacement in 1993, right anterior mini-thoracotomy and upper hemi-sternotomy have become the predominant incisional approaches among cardiac surgeons performing minimal access aortic valve replacement. Beside the location of the incision, the arterial cannulation site represents the second major landmark of minimal access techniques for aortic valve replacement. The two most frequently used arterial cannulation sites include central aortic and peripheral femoral approaches. With the purpose of reducing surgical trauma in these patients, we have opted for a right anterior mini-thoracotomy approach with a central aortic cannulation site. This protocol describes in detail a technique for minimally invasive aortic valve replacement and provides recommendations for patient selection criteria, including cardiac computer tomography measurements. The indications and limitations of this technique, as well as its alternatives, are discussed.

The goal of this protocol is to describe in detail the technique of minimally invasive aortic valve replacement through a right anterior mini-thoracotomy and central aortic cannulation. This technique can potentially enhance patients&#39; comfort and, by reducing post-operative morbidity, promote lowering the length of stay and global costs.

Improved Registration of 3D CT Angiography with X-ray Fluoroscopy for Image Fusion During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

The fusion of 3D anatomical models derived from high-fidelity pre-interventional computed tomography angiography (CTA), and x-ray (XR) fluoroscopy to facilitate anatomical guidance is of huge interest for complex cardiac interventions like TAVI procedures with cerebral protection. Co-registration of CTA and XR has been introduced either based on additional intraoperative non-/contrast-enhanced cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) or two separate aortograms. With the related increase of radiation exposure and/or contrast agent (CA) dose, a potential additional risk for the patient is introduced. Here, we propose a modified co-registration approach making use of arteriograms of the iliofemoral arteries, routinely performed during the femoral puncture and sheath introduction. On-the-fly refinement of the co-registration during the on-going procedure enables accurate co-registration without any additional angiograms, thus reducing CA, XR dose and procedure time, while simultaneously improving operator confidence and procedure safety.

The aim of this study was to improve the co-registration for image fusion (IF) of pre-interventional CT data with real-time x-ray (XR) fluoroscopy during transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Studying Left Ventricular Reverse Remodeling by Aortic Debanding in Rodents

To better understand the left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling (RR), we describe a rodent model wherein, after aortic banding-induced LV remodeling, mice undergo RR upon removal of the aortic constriction. In this paper, we describe a step-by-step procedure to perform a minimally invasive surgical aortic debanding in mice. Echocardiography was subsequently used to assess the degree of cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction during LV remodeling and RR and to determine the best timing for aortic debanding. At the end of the protocol, terminal hemodynamic evaluation of the cardiac function was conducted, and samples were collected for histological studies. We showed that debanding is associated with surgical survival rates of 70-80%. Moreover, two weeks after debanding, the significant reduction of ventricular afterload triggers the regression of ventricular hypertrophy (~20%) and fibrosis (~26%), recovery of diastolic dysfunction as assessed by the normalization of left ventricular filling and end-diastolic pressures (E/e&#39;&#160;and LVEDP). Aortic debanding is a useful experimental model to study LV RR in rodents. The extent of myocardial recovery is variable between subjects, therefore, mimicking the diversity of RR that occurs in the clinical context, such as aortic valve replacement. We conclude that the aortic banding/debanding model represents a valuable tool to unravel novel insights into the mechanisms of RR, namely the regression of cardiac hypertrophy and the recovery of diastolic dysfunction.

Here we describe a step-by-step protocol of surgical aorta debanding in the well-established mice model of aortic-constriction. This procedure not only allows studying the mechanisms underlying the left ventricular reverse remodeling and regression of hypertrophy but also to test novel therapeutic options that might accelerate myocardial recovery.

Porcine Model of Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Large animal models to study abdominal aortic aneurysms are sparse. The purpose of this model is to create reproducible, clinically significant infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in swine. To achieve this, we use a combination of balloon angioplasty, elastase and collagenase, and a lysyl oxidase inhibitor, called &#946;-aminopropionitrile (BAPN), to create clinically significant infrarenal aortic aneurysms, analogous to human disease.
Noncastrated male swine are fed BAPN for 7 days prior to surgery to achieve a steady state in the blood. A midline laparotomy is performed and the infrarenal aorta is circumferentially dissected. An initial measurement is recorded prior to aneurysm induction with a combination of balloon angioplasty, elastase (500 units)/collagenase (8000 units) perfusion, and topical elastase application. Swine are fed BAPN daily until terminal procedure on either postoperative day 7, 14, or 28, at which time the aneurysm is measured, and tissue procured. BAPN + surgery pigs are compared to pigs that underwent surgery alone.
Swine treated with BAPN and surgery had a mean aortic dilation of 89.9% &#177; 47.4% at day 7, 105.4% &#177; 58.1% at day 14, and 113.5% &#177; 30.2% at day 28. Pigs treated with surgery alone had significantly smaller aneurysms compared to BAPN + surgery animals at day 28 (p &#60; 0.0003). The BAPN + surgery group had macroscopic and immunohistochemical evidence of end stage aneurysmal disease.
Clinically significant infrarenal AAA can be induced using balloon angioplasty, elastase/collagenase perfusion and topical application, supplemented with oral BAPN. This model creates large, clinically significant AAA with hallmarks of human disease. This has important implications for the elucidation of AAA pathogenesis and testing of novel therapies and devices for the treatment of AAA. Limitations of the model include variation in BAPN ingested by swine, quality of elastase perfusion, and cost of BAPN.&#160;

This novel model creates robust infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms in swine using a combination of balloon angioplasty, elastase/collagenase perfusion, topical elastase application, and oral compound &#946;-aminopropionitrile administration, which interferes with collagen cross-linking.

Operating Transverse Aortic Constriction with Absorbable Suture to Obtain Transient Myocardial Hypertrophy

Based on twice transverse aortic constrictions (TACs) in mice, it is proved that myocardial hypertrophic preconditioning (MHP) could attenuate cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and slow down progression to heart failure. For novices, however, the MHP model is usually quite difficult to establish because of the technical obstacles in ventilator operation, opening the chest repeatedly, and bleeding caused by debanding. To facilitate this model, to increase the surgical success rate and to reduce the incidence of bleeding, we switched to absorbable sutures for the first TAC combing with a ventilator-free technique. Using a 2-week absorbable suture, we demonstrated that this procedure could cause significant myocardial hypertrophy in 2 weeks; and 4 weeks after surgery, myocardial hypertrophy was almost completely regressed to the baseline. Using this protocol, the operators could master the MHP model easily with a lower operation mortality.

This protocol presents an improved method to obtain transient myocardial hypertrophy with absorbable suture, simulating left ventricular hypertrophy decrease after removing pressure overload. It could be valuable for the studies on myocardial hypertrophic preconditioning.
