title: [Experimental and clinical assessment of myocardial protective effect of a prostacyclin analogue (OP 41483)].
abstract: The beneficial effects of a stable prostacyclin analogue (PGI2-A), OP 41483 against myocardial ischemic injury were experimentally and clinically evaluated. In 31P-NMR study, the preischemic treatment with PGI2-A prevented myocardial ATP depletion of rat hearts which were subjected to 20 min global ischemia. In patients with congenital heart disease, the PGI2-A of 300 ng/ml was added to the glucose-insulin-potassium cardioplegia (PGI2-group), and this group was compared to control group without PGI2-A in terms of postoperative maximal leakage of CPK-MB (maxCPK-MB). In patients under 1 yr or patients over 1 yr with aortic cross clamp time exceeded 120 min, the maxCPK-MB was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced as compared to the control. This stable PGI2 analogue has shown significant myocardial protective effects experimentally and also in clinical setting.
