DSA study of the effect of vasopressin on the small bowel circulation before and after embolization / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect of vasopressin (VS) on the small bowel circulation and the safety of emboliotherapy for the small intestinal hemorrhage by DSA. Methods Ten dogs were divided into three groups. Vasa recta were ligated 30min after VS infusion ended in group A( n =4), and 2h after VS infusion ended in group B( n =4), they were ligated without VS infusion in control group ( n =2). DSA were performed before and after VS infusion, before and after the ligation. The tested parts of intestine were resected to make the pathologic examination a week late. Results All branches of mesenteric arteries contracted and the contrast developed light in the intestinal wall after VS infusion. Branches contraction recovered but the contrast developed still slight in the intestinal wall about 30min after infusion ended. All manifestation of DSA recovered to normal 2h after infusion ended. In all groups, the blood vessel net can be seen but is fewer and scattered in the area of ligation. The collorate presented soon after the ligation. The pathologic examination proved that there was only mind mucosal ischemia in all groups. Conclusion The repressive effect of VS to the circulation of intestine weakened and then disappeared rapidly after the infusion ended. VS infusion had no significant effect on the safety of emboliotherapy for small intestinal bleeding when the infusion has been finished for more than 2hr. DSA can demonstrated the circulation state of the intestine before and after embolization.
