Abstract
• We assessed the value of a fraction of hydroxyethyl starch (HES PZ) in reducing the myocardial reperfusion injury in a canine open-chest model in which 1 hour of left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion was followed by 24 hours of reperfusion. Three treatment infusions (5% of blood volume) were compared: Ringer's lactate, serum albumin, and HES PZ (70% of the macromolecules between 100 000 and 1 000 000 d). When compared with Ringer's lactate and albumin, HES PZ significantly reduced the ratio of 24-hour infarct size to pretreatment area at risk (3% vs 19% and 16%, respectively) and myocardial water content (0.5% vs 3% and 1%). Potassium content differences between injured and normal myocardium were significantly less in the infarct regions of animals receiving HES PZ. In the canine model, HES PZ reduced 1-hour myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury significantly.
