Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Recent studies suggest that complement inhibition reduces reperfusion injury. A clinical setting with local application of a C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) has been modeled in an animal study in order to further investigate these findings. METHODS: In 21 pigs, the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was occluded distally to the first diagonal branch for 2 hours (h), including 1 h of cardioplegic arrest during CPB. After release of the coronary snare, C1-INH or NaCl (contro...     »
