ABSTRACT

We investigated tissue responses to endoskeleton stent grafts for saccular abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in canines. Saccular AAAs were made with Dacron patch in 8 dogs, and were excluded by endoskeleton stent grafts composed of nitinol stent and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft. Animals were sacrificed at 2 months (Group 1; n = 3) or 6 months (Group 2; n = 5) after the placement, respectively. The aortas embedding stent grafts were excised en bloc for gross inspection and sliced at 5 to 8 mm intervals for histopathologic evaluation. Stent grafts were patent in all except a dog showing a thrombotic occlusion in Group 2. In the 7 dogs with patent lumen, the graft overhanging the saccular aneurysm was covered by thick or thin thrombi with no endothelial layer, and the graft over the aortic wall was completely covered by neointima with an endothelial layer. Transgraft cell migration was less active at an aneurysm than at adjacent normal aorta. In conclusion, endoskeleton stent grafts over saccular aneurysms show no endothelial coverage and poor transgraft cell migration in a canine model.

ABSTRACT

FUNDAMENTO: O uso da rosiglitazona tem sido o objeto de extensas discussões. OBJETIVO: Avaliar os efeitos da rosiglitazona nas artérias ilíacas, no local da injúria e na artéria contralateral, de coelhos hipercolesterolêmicos submetidos à lesão por cateter-balão. MÉTODOS: Coelhos brancos machos receberam uma dieta hipercolesterolêmica através de gavagem oral por 6 semanas e foram divididos em 2 grupos: grupo rosiglitazona (GR - 14 coelhos tratados com rosiglitazona por 6 semanas) e grupo controle (GC - 18 coelhos sem rosiglitazona). Os animais foram submetidos a lesão por cateter-balão na artéria ilíaca direita no 14º dia. RESULTADOS: Na artéria ilíaca contralateral, não houve diferença significante na razão entre as áreas intimal e medial (RIM) entre os grupos GR e GC. A rosiglitazona não reduziu a probabilidade de lesões tipo I, II ou III (72,73 por cento vs 92,31 por cento; p=0,30) e lesões tipo IV ou V (27,27 por cento vs 7,69 por cento; p=0,30). Na artéria ilíaca homolateral, a área intimal era significantemente menor no GR quando comparado ao GC (p = 0,024). A área luminal era maior no GR quando comparado ao GC (p < 0,0001). Houve uma redução significante de 65 por cento na IMR no GR quando comparado ao GC (p = 0,021). Nenhum dos critérios histológicos para lesões ateroscleróticas tipos I a V (American Heart Association) foram encontrados na artéria ilíaca homolateral. CONCLUSÃO: Esses achados demonstram que a administração de rosiglitazona por 6 semanas impede a aterogênese no local da lesão, mas não em um vaso distante do sítio da lesão.


BACKGROUND: Rosiglitazone has been the focus of extensive discussion. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of rosiglitazone on iliac arteries, both at the injury site and the contralateral artery, of hypercholesterolemic rabbits undergoing balloon catheter injury. METHODS: White male rabbits were fed a hypercholesterolemic diet by oral gavage for 6 weeks and divided into two groups as follows: rosiglitazone group (14 rabbits treated with rosiglitazone during 6 weeks) and the control group (18 rabbits without rosiglitazone). Animals underwent balloon catheter injury of the right iliac artery on the 14th day. RESULTS: In the contralateral iliac artery, there was no significant difference in the intima/media layer area ratio (IMR) between the control and rosiglitazone groups. Rosiglitazone did not reduce the probability of type I, II, or III lesions (72.73 percent vs 92.31 percent; p=0.30) and type IV or V lesions (27.27 percent vs 7.69 percent; p=0.30). As for the homolateral iliac artery, the intimal area was significantly lower in the rosiglitazone group, as compared to the control group (p = 0.024). The luminal layer area was higher in the rosiglitazone group vs. the control group (p < 0.0001). There was a significant reduction of 65 percent in the IMR in the rosiglitazone group vs the control group (p = 0.021). None of the histological criteria for type I-V atherosclerotic lesions (American Heart Association) were found in the homolateral iliac artery. CONCLUSION: These findings demonstrate that rosiglitazone given for 6 weeks prevents atherogenesis at the injury site, but not in a vessel distant from the injury site.
