We evaluated the effects of a novel platelet fibrinogen receptor antagonist, Integrelin, and a direct thrombin inhibitor, recombinant hirudin, given together with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rTPA) in a canine experimental model of intracoronary thrombosis. We tested the hypothesis that combination of both agents at low doses would have an additive antithrombotic effect, resulting in a significant improvement in the efficacy of rTPA.
Thirty-two dogs with an electrically induced coronary thrombus were treated with rTPA (1 mg/kg over 20 minutes) together with one of the following adjunctive treatments in a random fashion. Eight dogs received saline for 90 minutes; Integrelin (5 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 for 90 minutes) was given to 8 dogs; 8 dogs received recombinant hirudin (20 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 for 90 minutes); and 8 dogs were treated with a low-dose combination of Integrelin (2.5 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) plus recombinant hirudin (10 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) for 90 minutes. Integrelin or recombinant hirudin, when given as single adjunct to rTPA, enhanced the lysis of the occlusive thrombus, causing full restoration of coronary blood flow (100% of its baseline value) for 29 +/- 16 and 26 +/- 5 minutes, respectively, whereas coronary blood flow was fully restored for only 5 +/- 1 minutes in dogs receiving rTPA plus saline (both P < .05). However, either Integrelin or recombinant hirudin failed to modify the reocclusion rate (57% and 63%, respectively) compared with saline (83%; all P = NS). Conversely, the low-dose combination therapy led to complete restoration of coronary blood flow for 92 +/- 19 minutes (P < .01 versus all treatments) and significantly reduced the reocclusion rate (25%; P < .05 versus saline).
These data show that inhibition of specific pathways of platelet and thrombin activity improves the extent and duration of rTPA-induced thrombolysis in the electrolytic canine model. Furthermore, our findings suggest that low doses of platelet IIb/IIIa and direct thrombin antagonists in combination may be used successfully during thrombolysis.
我们在犬冠状动脉内血栓形成的实验模型中,评估了一种新型血小板纤维蛋白原受体拮抗剂Integrilin和一种直接凝血酶抑制剂重组水蛭素与重组组织型纤溶酶原激活剂(rTPA)联合使用的效果。我们检验了以下假设:低剂量的两种药物联合使用将具有相加的抗血栓作用,从而显著提高rTPA的疗效。
32只通过电诱导形成冠状动脉血栓的犬,随机接受rTPA(20分钟内1mg/kg)与以下辅助治疗之一联合使用。8只犬接受90分钟的生理盐水;8只犬给予Integrilin(5μg·kg-1·min-1,持续90分钟);8只犬接受重组水蛭素(20μg·kg-1·min-1,持续90分钟);8只犬接受低剂量的Integrilin(2.5μg·kg-1·min-1)加重组水蛭素(1μg·kg-1·min-1)联合治疗90分钟。Integrilin或重组水蛭素作为rTPA的单一辅助药物使用时,可增强闭塞性血栓的溶解,使冠状动脉血流分别在29±16分钟和26±5分钟完全恢复至基线值的100%,而接受rTPA加生理盐水的犬冠状动脉血流仅在5±1分钟完全恢复(P均<0.05)。然而,与生理盐水组(83%)相比,Integrilin或重组水蛭素均未能改变再闭塞率(分别为57%和63%;P均=无显著性差异)。相反,低剂量联合治疗使冠状动脉血流完全恢复92±19分钟(与所有治疗相比,P<0.01),并显著降低再闭塞率(25%;与生理盐水组相比,P<0.05)。
这些数据表明,在电解犬模型中,抑制血小板和凝血酶活性的特定途径可改善rTPA诱导的溶栓程度和持续时间。此外,我们的研究结果提示,低剂量的血小板IIb/IIIa拮抗剂和直接凝血酶拮抗剂联合使用在溶栓过程中可能会取得成功。
