title: The effects of new platelet inhibitory drug E-5510 on platelet deposition on aortic bifurcation grafts: assessment by indium-111-oxime labeled platelet imaging.
abstract: The effects of a recently synthesized anti-platelet aggregation drug (E-5510) on platelet deposition in a knitted Dacron aortic graft underwent preliminary evaluation by In-111 oxime labeled platelet imaging. Seven patients undergoing aortofemoral bypass using this graft for occlusive disease were randomized into two groups: those receiving E-5510 and those receiving no medication. This agent was administered for 17 days postoperatively, and on the 14th day In-111 platelets were injected and images were acquired at 24, 48, and 72 hours. Platelet deposits in the grafts were assessed by the ratios of graft radioactivity to that of the adjacent native iliac arteries. Platelet deposition at the sites of anastomosis and deposition along the entire graft were normalized by initial deposition at 24 hours, and had significantly decreased at 72 hours in the three treated patients, while the normalized deposition increased progressively over time in the remaining four nonmedicated patients. E-5510 seems to have the potential to inhibit excessive platelet deposition on recently implanted grafts.
