چکیده

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.

Intrapericardial Delivery of Gelfoam Enables the Targeted Delivery of Periostin Peptide after Myocardial Infarction by Inducing Fibrin Clot Formation

BACKGROUND Administration of a recombinant peptide of Periostin (rPN) has recently been shown to stimulate cardiomyocyte proliferation and angiogenesis after myocardial infarction (MI) [1]. However, strategies for targeting the delivery of rPN to the heart are lacking. Intrapericardial administration of drug-eluting hydrogels may provide a clinically viable strategy for increasing myocardial re...

Delivery 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...

Successful Therapy of Ventricular Rupture by Percutaneous Intrapericardial Instillation of Fibrin Glue: A Case Report

Rupture of the ventricular myocardium is an often lethal complication after myocardial infarction. Due to the dramatic hemodynamics and the short time frame between ventricular rupture and surgical closure of the defect, additional therapeutic strategies are needed. Here we report the successful therapy of ventricular rupture by percutaneous intrapericardial instillation of fibrin glue in a 72-...

Intrapericardial delivery of fibroblast growth factor-2 induces neovascularization in a porcine model of chronic myocardial ischemia.

Therapeutic angiogenesis is a novel approach to the treatment of myocardial ischemia based on the use of proangiogenic growth factors to induce the growth of new blood vessels to supply the myocardium at risk. This study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of a single intrapericardial injection of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) in a porcine model of chronic myocardial ischemi...

Myocardial 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 ...
