Effects of flow pulsatility on platelet adhesion to subendothelium.

چکیده
Platelet adhesion in the annular perfusion system developed by Baumgartner was studied under pulsatile, oscillatory, or steady flow conditions. To investigate in what way pulsatile flow affects platelet adhesion, we developed a flow system that produces a sinusoidal laminar flow superimposed on a constant component in the annular perfusion chamber. Frequencies and amplitudes of this sinusoidal flow were in the physiological range. Pulse frequencies varied between 30 and 120 beats/minute, and different amplitudes of the wall shear rate in the range 75 to 1000 s-1 were studied. Shear rates resulting from the constant flow component were between 500 s-1 and 1800 s-1. Under these conditions, no significant differences in platelet adhesion were observed between steady flow and pulsatile flow. In the case of an oscillatory flow (absence of constant component), a clear dependence of platelet adhesion on the amplitude of the pulse was seen. These data indicate that platelet adhesion in larger blood vessels, such as the aorta and larger arteries where backflow is limited, is not essentially influenced by the pulsatility in these vessels.

Platelet interaction with rabbit subendothelium in von Willebrand's disease: altered thrombus formation distinct from defective platelet adhesion.
Blood interaction with the subendothelium of rabbit aorta was investigated in an annular perfusion chamber using patients with von Willebrand's disease, hemophilia, and afibrinogenemia. The vessels were exposed to nonanticoagulated blood for a range of flow conditions (wall shear rates of 650-3,300 s-1) and exposure times (1.5-10 min). The resultant platelet and fibrin interaction was quantifie...

The role of subendothelial fibronectin in platelet interaction with subendothelium was studied. Human umbilical artery subendothelium was exposed to flowing blood containing 111In-labeled platelets in an annular perfusion chamber. Platelet adhesion was determined from the 111In radioactivity on the vessel wall. When perfusions were performed for five minutes at a wall shear rate of 1,800 s-1, p...

متن کاملBoth increased and decreased platelet adhesion to thermally injured subendothelium is caused by denaturation of von Willebrand factor.
BACKGROUND Thermal angioplasty methods heat the arterial wall. We related platelet adhesion to the temperature to which subendothelium and purified adhesive proteins had been exposed. METHODS AND RESULTS Cultured subendothelium, purified von Willebrand factor, collagen types I and III, or fibronectin was applied to glass coverslips. Coverslips were mounted on a heating device that applied a t...
