Therapeutic myocardial angiogenesis using percutaneous intrapericardial drug delivery.
In this manuscript, we describe the potential role of the pericardial space as a drug delivery reservoir to administer angiogenic agents to the heart resulting in functionally significant angiogenesis with single bolus basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) delivery. We also describe a percutaneous subxyphoid pericardial access technique that is safe, rapid, and reliable.
متن کاملMyocardial drug distribution pattern following intrapericardial delivery: an MRI analysis.
OBJECTIVES The main goal was to gain insights into the pharmacokinetics of intrapericardial drug delivery using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging analysis and the extracellular MR contrast agent gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) as a model. BACKGROUND Recent development of catheter-based techniques to access the intact pericardial space has increased interest in intrapericardial delivery for ...
متن کاملDelivery strategies to achieve therapeutic myocardial angiogenesis.
The use of recombinant genes or growth factors to enhance myocardial collateral blood vessel function may represent a new approach to the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Proof of concept has been demonstrated in animal models of myocardial ischemia, and clinical trials are underway. Currently, it is unknown which is the safest and most effective delivery strategy to induce clinically impor...
متن کاملAngiogenesis in chronically ischaemic human heart following percutaneous myocardial revascularisation.
Patients with intractable angina and severe diffuse coronary artery disease not amenable to conventional revascularisation therapy have relatively few treatment options. A number of studies suggest myocardial laser revascularisation is of clinical benefit in such patients. 2 Percutaneous myocardial revascularisation (PMR) involves the use of an intravascular catheter, positioned within the left...
متن کاملPsyllium as therapeutic and drug delivery agent.
There is no doubt that fibers, in particular viscous dietary fibers, have positive effects on human health, both in the prevention and in treatment of chronic diseases. Dietary fibers from psyllium have been used extensively both as pharmacological supplements, food ingredients, in processed food to aid weight control, to regulation of glucose control for diabetic patients and reducing serum li...
