About

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces a systemic inflammatory response and affects the organ vascular bed. Experimentally, the lack of pulsatility alters myogenic tone of resistance arteries and increases the parietal inflammatory response. The purpose of this study was to compare the vascular reactivity and the inflammatory response of the internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) between patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) under CPB with a roller pump or with a centrifugal pump.

Full description

Eighty elective male patients undergoing CABG were selected using one or two internal thoracic arteries under CPB with a roller pump (RP group) or centrifugal pump (CFP group). ITA samples were collected before starting CPB (Time 1) and before the last coronary anastomosis during aortic cross clamping (Time 2). Terminal complement complex activation (SC5b-9) and neutrophil activation (elastase) analysis were performed on arterial blood at the same times.

Enrollment: 80 patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• male patients and elective coronary artery bypass grafting using at least one of the two ITAs.

Exclusion criteria

• female patients because their complement activation has been shown to be greater than that in men during surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass ; age < 18 years; CABG requiring additional valve repair or replacement; emergency surgery and insufficient length of the internal thoracic artery

Description:

CABG was performed under normothermic (36-37°C) cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). All components of the circuits were coated with phosphorylcholine inert surface (PHISIO, Sorin®). The pump manufacturer is Maquet® for the roller pumps.1.5 cm of ITA distality was sampled before blood flow interruption into the graft and before starting CPB (Time 1) and another segment (1.5 cm) before the last coronary anastomosis during aortic cross clamping (Time 2) (Figure 1). Each arterial segment was cut into three parts: a fresh part for arterial myography bathed and stored in a 50 ml organ bath containing a physiological salt solution (PSS). The other two parts were cooled in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C for immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR analysis.
