Local Delivery of Ethanol Inhibits Intimal Hyperplasia in Pig Coronary Arteries After Balloon Injury

Abstract: Local delivery of 15% ethanol solution to pig coronary arteries significantly decreased the SMC proliferative activity and neointimal formation induced by balloon dilation injury.

“…21 Considerable reductions in neointimal hyperplasia, including SMC proliferation, were also observed in pigs after angioplasty. 20 Interestingly, in the last model, local delivery of 15% ethanol in the immediate postinjury phase was effective in reducing the size of neointimal lesions, which suggests that early signaling events might be specifically targeted by ethanol. Ethanol-induced inhibition of rat vascular SMC proliferation and activation of p42/p44 MAPK in vitro was subsequently demonstrated.…”

“…Hendrickson et al 19 reported that ethanol inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity and the growth of SMCs in vitro. Ethanol also inhibits intimal hyperplasia in the arteries of pigs 20 and rabbits 21 after angioplasty.…”

“…21 After anesthesia induction and intubation, heparin (200 U/kg) and bretylium (50 mg) were given as an intravenous bolus, and 10 mg of nifedipine was given sublingually. Via a right femoral artery approach, a balloon catheter, 20 mm long with a diameter 20% larger than the arterial diameter, was used to perform the dilation injury.…”

“…1,2 Early local administration of numerous therapeutic agents into injured vessel walls poorly inhibited smooth muscle cell proliferation. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Recently, newer stent-based drug-delivery systems, particularly devices incorporating hydrophobic antiproliferative agents, have been successful in the clinic. [13][14][15] These promising results indicate that local deposition and prolonged release of appropriate antiproliferative agents can effectively ameliorate restenosis.…”
