| Research Abstract |
Coronary perfusion insufficiency is known to occur heterogeneously at the capillary network level depending on the minimum size of coronary flow control unit (FCU ; several hundreds ng length). We aimed to investigate micro-perfusion pattern andthree-dimensional [3-D] structural abnormality of coronary capillary network after myocardial reperfusion using a con focal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Using opened-chest anesthetized Wistar rats' hearts, LAD was occluded for 7 min followed by 3 min reperfusion. The hearts were divided into two groups ; 1) well stained reperfused area by indocyanine green iv after reperfusion [Good-reflow], and 2) poorly stained group [No-reflow]. Then, the hearts were isolated and perfused by LangendorfFs mode. Entire coronary microvasculature was filled with contrast medium [BaSO4+Indian ink+gelatin]. Capillaries in the section [200um in thickness] were observed 3-dimensionaly using CLSM [0.09um3/voxel] for control area [Ct ; LCX region] and reperfused area [LAD region] in both reflow groups. Capillary volume fraction [CVF=capillary vol./[myocardial vol.+ capillary vol.] was computed from 3-D images. Comparing with Ct, reperfused area of both groups showed decreased capillary diameter and density with waving and shrinkage configuration. CVF was significantly reduced by 40% in the reperfused area of Good-reflow compared with Ct [p<.005], and further decreased by 83% in No-reflow [P<.001, vs. Ct, p<.001, vs. Good-reflow]. In No-reflow, the low perfusion area was distributed heterogeneously with similar low-flow clusterings of several FCUs lower flows. Coronary no-reflow after myocardial reperfusion was characterized by heterogeneous capillary filling reduction with morphological change such as waving and shrinkage.
