High potassium concentration in a parenteral preparation of glyceryl trinitrate. Need for caution if given by intracoronary injection.

چکیده
Glyceryl trinitrate (Tridil) was given by intracoronary injection to a patient who developed coronary artery spasm during angioplasty. Transient exacerbation of chest pain and electrocardiographic changes occurred. This formulation of the drug contains a high concentration of potassium ions and should not be given by this route.

Effect of pre-treatment with transdermal glyceryl trinitrate on myocardial ischaemia during coronary angioplasty.
OBJECTIVE In the light of the reported inconsistent anti-ischaemic and antianginal effects of transdermal glyceryl trinitrate, its efficacy and influence on the effects of intracoronary glyceryl trinitrate were examined during coronary angioplasty, which provides a model of controlled, reversible ischaemia. DESIGN Double blind, randomised study of the effect of transdermal and intracoronary g...
متن کاملMigration of fully deployed stent after intracoronary glyceryl trinitrate administration: An unusual percutaneous coronary intervention complication
Stent embolization is a rare complication of coronary stenting. If left untreated, it may lead to devastating consequences. Although there is much known about stent embolization, data about migration of stent after deployment is limited. We report an unusual case of a deployed stent migration into the distal part of right coronary artery after intracoronary glyceryl trinitrate administration du...
متن کاملRelief by intracoronary glyceryl trinitrate of coronary artery spasm resistant to sublingual route of administration.
Inappropriate percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of the anterior descending artery was avoided in a 52-year-old woman when the intracoronary administration of glyceryl trinitrate immediately before the angioplasty disclosed the organic component of the supposedly fixed, critical (80%) stenosis to be less than 50% of the lumen diameter. The spastic component of the stenosis had not b...
متن کاملHaemodynamic effects of hydrallazine and of hydrallazine plus glyceryl trinitrate paste in heart failure.
In a study designed to investigate potential non-parenteral treatment for chronic heart failure, hydrallazine, 225 to 300 mg per day, was given orally to 9 patients. There was no significant change in heart rate or mean arterial pressure as cardiac output increased. Left ventricular stroke work increased significantly and pulmonary artery wedge pressure fell. Systemic and pulmonary vascular res...
متن کاملIncreased coronary sinus lactate concentration during pacing induced angina pectoris after clinical improvement by glyceryl trinitrate.
Ten patients with stable angina pectoris and obstructed coronary arteries (greater than 75% reduction in diameter) were studied before and during two periods of pacing, the second of which was preceded by sublingual administration of glyceryl trinitrate (mean dose 0.78 mg). Coronary sinus blood flow measurements and aortocoronary sinus blood sampling for metabolite determinations were carried o...
