Tricuspid Repair

The deteriorating nature of severe functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) has led to the heightened interest in this pathology. However, therapies are heterogeneous and an ideal technique is uncertain. The hemodynamic impact on the cardiac chamber following therapeutic repairs has not been well studied, while its analysis could be used to predict the treatment success. In this study, the hemodynamics of the right ventricle (RV) after 1) clover edge-to-edge tricuspid repair, and 2) double orifice tricuspid repair was evaluated in three right heart models using an ex vivo pulsatile platform emulating severe FTR with the aid of stereoscopic particle image velocimetry. Although all repairs substantially reduced tricuspid regurgitant area, they resulted in a more than 50% reduction in diastolic tricuspid valve (TV) opening area. Splitting the TV orifice into multiple smaller orifices by both repairs eliminated the ring-shaped vortical structure inside the RV observed in FTR cases. Postrepair RV domain was mostly occupied with irregular vortical features and isolated vortex residuals. Moreover, vortical features varied among repair samples, indicating enhanced sensitivity of RV flow to postrepair TV morphology. Compared with clover repair, double orifice subjected the RV to enhanced swirling motions and exposed more regions to vortical motions, potentially indicating better rinsing and lower risk of mural thrombus formation. Double orifice repair increased the levels of RV mean kinetic energy and viscous energy loss than those observed in clover repair, although the impact of these on the cardiac efficiency remains unclear. These preliminary insights could be used to improve future treatment design and planning. NEW & NOTEWORTHY While clover and double orifice tricuspid repairs markedly improved leaflet coaptation, they substantially reduced diastolic tricuspid opening area. Postrepair right ventricle (RV) exhibited specific hemodynamic traits, including the loss of ring-shaped vortical structure and the enhanced sensitivity of RV flow to postrepair tricuspid valve morphology. Compared with clover technique, double orifice repair led to higher swirling motions in the RV domain, which could indicate lower risk of mural thrombus formation.

Antithrombotic Effects

SummaryCyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) containing synthetic peptides such as L-cysteine, N-(mercaptoacetyl)-D-tyrosyl-L-arginylglycyl-L-a-aspartyl-cyclic (1→5)-sulfide, 5-oxide (G4120) and acetyl-L-cysteinyl-L-asparaginyl-L-prolyl-L-arginyl-glycyl-L-α-aspartyl-[0-methyltyrosyl]-L-arginyl-L-cysteinamide, cyclic 1→9-sulfide (TP9201) bind with high affinity to the platelet GPIIb/IIIa receptor.The relationship between antithrombotic effect, ex vivo platelet aggregation and bleeding time prolongation with both agents was studied in hamsters with a standardized femoral vein endothelial cell injury predisposing to platelet-rich mural thrombosis, and in dogs with a carotid arterial eversion graft inserted in the femoral artery. Intravenous administration of G4120 in hamsters inhibited in vivo thrombus formation with a 50% inhibitory bolus dose (ID50) of approximately 20 μg/kg, ex vivo ADP-induccd platelet aggregation with ID50 of 10 μg/kg, and bolus injection of 1 mg/kg prolonged the bleeding time from 38 ± 9 to 1,100 ± 330 s. Administration of TP9201 in hamsters inhibited in vivo thrombus formation with ID50 of 30 μg/kg, ex vivo platelet aggregation with an ID50 of 50 μg/kg and bolus injection of 1 mg/kg did not prolong the template bleeding time. In the dog eversion graft model, infusion of 100 μg/kg of G4120 over 60 min did not fully inhibit platelet-mediated thrombotic occlusion but was associated with inhibition of ADP-induccd ex vivo platelet aggregation and with prolongation of the template bleeding time from 1.3 ± 0.4 to 12 ± 2 min. Infusion of 300 μg/kg of TP9201 over 60 min completely prevented thrombotic occlusion, inhibited ex vivo platelet aggregation, but was not associated with prolongation of the template bleeding time.TP9201, unlike G4120, inhibits in vivo platelet-mediated thrombus formation without associated prolongation of the template bleeding time.

SummaryA recent study (Fernandez et al., Thromb. Haemostas. 1987; 57: 286-93) demonstrated that when rabbits were injected with the minimum weight of a variety of glycosaminoglycans required to inhibit tissue factor-induced thrombus formation by —80%, exogenous thrombin was inactivated —twice as fast in the post-treatment plasmas as the pre-treatment plasmas. In this study, we investigated the relationship between inhibition of thrombus formation and the extent of thrombin inhibition ex vivo. We also investigated the relationship between inhibition of thrombus formation and inhibition of prothrombin activation ex vivo. Four sulfated polysaccharides (SPS) which influence coagulation in a variety of ways were used in this study. Unfractionated heparin and the fraction of heparin with high affinity to antithrombin III potentiate the antiproteinase activity of antithrombin III. Pentosan polysulfate potentiates the activity of heparin cofactor II. At less than 10 pg/ml of plasma, all three SPS also inhibit intrinsic prothrombin activation. The fourth agent, dermatan sulfate, potentiates the activity of heparin cofactor II but fails to inhibit intrinsic prothrombin activation even at concentrations which exceed 60 pg/ml of plasma. Inhibition of thrombus formation by each sulfated polysaccharides was linearly related to the extent of thrombin inhibition achieved ex vivo. These observations confirm the utility of catalysis of thrombin inhibition as an index for assessing antithrombotic potential of glycosaminoglycans and other sulfated polysaccharides in rabbits. With the exception of pentosan polysulfate, there was no clear relationship between inhibition of thrombus formation and inhibition of prothrombin activation ex vivo.

The presence of a pathologic mass in the right ventricle (RV) may lead to hemodynamic consequences and to a life-threatening incident of pulmonary embolism. The diagnosis of an unstable thrombus in the right heart chamber usually necessitates intensive treatment to dissolve or remove the pathology. We present a report of an unusual complication of severe ketoacidosis: thrombus in the right ventricle, removed from the tricuspid valve (TV) apparatus. A four-year-old boy was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM) type I de novo. During hospitalization, a 13.9 × 8.4 mm tumor in the RV was found in a routine cardiac ultrasound. The patient was referred for surgical removal of the floating lesion from the RV. The procedure was performed via midline sternotomy with extracorporeal circulation (ECC) and mild hypothermia. Control echocardiography showed complete tumor excision with normal atrioventricular valves and heart function. Surgical removal of the thrombus from the tricuspid valve apparatus was effective, safe, and a definitive therapy for thromboembolic complication of pediatric severe ketoacidosis.<br /><br />

Abstract SANORG 34006 is a new sulfated pentasaccharide obtained by chemical synthesis. It is an analog of the “synthetic pentasaccharide” (SR 90107/ ORG 31540) which represents the antithrombin (AT) binding site of heparin. SANORG 34006 showed a higher affinity to human AT than SR 90107/ORG 31540 (kd = 1.4 ± 0.3 v 48 ± 11 nmol/L), and it is a potent and selective catalyst of the inhibitory effect of AT on factor Xa (1,240 ± 15 anti–factor Xa U/mg v850 ± 27 anti-factor Xa U/mg for SR 90107/ORG 31540). In vitro, SANORG 34006 inhibited thrombin generation occurring via both the extrinsic and intrinsic pathway. After intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) administration to rabbits, SANORG 34006 displayed a long-lasting anti–factor Xa activity and inhibition of thrombin generation (TG) ex vivo. SANORG 34006 was slowly eliminated after IV or SC administration to rats, rabbits, and baboons, showed exceptionally long half-lives (between 9.2 hours in rats and 61.9 hours in baboons), and revealed an SC bioavailability near 100%. SANORG 34006 displayed antithrombotic activity by virtue of its potentiation of the anti–factor Xa activity of AT. It strongly inhibited thrombus formation in experimental models of thromboplastin/stasis-induced venous thrombosis in rats (IV) and rabbits (SC) (ED50values = 40.0 ± 3.4 and 105.0 ± 9.4 nmol/kg, respectively). The duration of its antithrombotic effects closely paralleled the ex vivo anti–factor Xa activity. SANORG 34006 enhanced rt-PA–induced thrombolysis and inhibited accretion of125I-fibrinogen onto a preformed thrombus in the rabbit jugular vein suggesting that concomitant use of SANORG 34006 during rt-PA therapy might be helpful in facilitating thrombolysis and preventing fibrin accretion onto the thrombus under lysis. Contrary to standard heparin, SANORG 34006 did not enhance bleeding in a rabbit ear incision model at a dose that equals 10 times the antithrombotic ED50 in this species and, therefore, exhibited a favorable therapeutic index. We suggest that SANORG 34006 is a promising compound in the treatment and prevention of various thrombotic diseases.

SummaryThe in vivo antithrombotic activity of RPR120844, a novel synthetic coagulation factor Xa (fXa) inhibitor (Ki = 7 nM), was assessed by its ability to inhibit thrombus formation in a damaged segment of the rabbit jugular vein. Intravenous dose-response studies were performed and thrombus mass (TM), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), inhibition of ex vivo fXa activity and plasma drug levels (PDL) were determined. TM, measured at the end of a 50 min infusion, was significantly reduced (p <0.05 vs saline-treated animals) by RPR120844 at 30 and 100 μg/kg/min. At doses of 10, 30 and 100 μg/kg/min, APTT was prolonged by 2.1, 4.2 and 6.1-fold, and PT was prolonged by 1.4, 2.2 and 3.5-fold, respectively. PDL were determined by measuring anti-fXa activity using an amidolytic assay. Peak PDL were 0.8 ± 0.3, 1.5 ± 0.9 and 2.4 ± 0.6 μM, respectively. The drug effect was reversible with APTT, PT and PDL returning toward pretreatment values 30 min after termination of treatment. The results suggest that RPR120844, or similar compounds, may provide an efficacious, yet easily reversible, means of inhibiting thrombus formation.
