Effect of the Direct Nitric Oxide Donors Linsidomine and Molsidomine on Angiographic Restenosis After Coronary Balloon Angioplasty

Abstract: Treatment with linsidomine and molsidomine was associated with a modest improvement in the long-term angiographic result after angioplasty but had no effect on clinical outcome. The improved angiographic result related predominantly to a better immediate procedural result, because late luminal loss did not differ significantly between groups.

“…Recently, the ACCORD study showed that in patients with atherosclerotic heart disease undergoing angioplasty, shortterm treatment with NO donors (12 to 24 hours) was associated with a modest improvement in immediate angiographic result, which was sustained at 6-month angiographic follow-up. 23 Systemic administration of NO donors may, however, be associated with hypotensive side effects, especially when high local concentrations in the vessel wall are desired. Moreover, these pharmacological studies did not distinguish between effects on SMC migration and/or proliferation or on the adhesion of circulating leukocytes or platelets with release of growth factors and mitogens.…”

“…It is therefore tempting to speculate that the mechanisms outlined in the present investigation may play a role in hyperinsulinemic states in vivo by reducing or even reversing the protective effect of NO in vascular remodeling. Also of note, studies (18,32) of the effects of NO in patients undergoing angioplasty found no significant decrease of neointimal expansion, perhaps related to the concomitantly high levels of insulin expected to occur in this cohort and the cell signaling pathways outlined in the present report.…”

“…Consistent with these concepts are the results of the ACCORD study, which recently demonstrated that treating angioplasty patients for 12-24 h with NO donors results in a modest improvement in immediate and 6-month angiographic results. 30 Therefore, more information about the role of the endothelium and vasa vasorum in diseased arteries is needed in order to better understand both lesion development and adaptive changes in arterial wall dimensions.…”
