title: Renal cisplatin chemoembolization with Angiostat, Gelfoam, and Ethiodol in the rabbit: renal platinum distributions.
abstract: Renal platinum distributions were determined in rabbits after administration of 0.4 mL of 1 mg/mL cisplatin by intravenous infusion, by injections into the left renal artery with aqueous contrast material and with lipid contrast material (Ethiodol), and by chemoembolization of the left renal artery with concurrent administration of various concentrations of two collagen carriers, Angiostat collagen for embolization and Gelfoam gelatin. Renal platinum concentration was measured in tissue homogenates at 2 1/2 hours with atomic absorption spectrometry. Target-kidney platinum levels were 5.4 and 6.9 times the contralateral-kidney levels after intraarterial infusion of aqueous and lipid contrast media, respectively. With Angiostat and Gelfoam chemoembolization, renal platinum retention and collagen concentration were linearly related (r = .87 and .81, P less than .001). Target-kidney-contralateral-kidney platinum ratios were 57:1 for 30 mg/mL Gelfoam and 220:1 for 10 mg/mL Angiostat. The difference in regional drug retention for Angiostat versus Gelfoam reflects the stable fiber integrity of Angiostat.
