1 Reducton of the Oxygen Utlzaton of the Heart by Left Heart Bypass By Clarence Denns, M.D., Ph.D., Davd P. Hall, M.D., Juan R.

The means nvestgated nclude: (1) heart-lung bypass, from the cava through an oxygenator and pump to the aorta; 1 ' 1 " 12 (2) veno-arteral pumpng wthout oxygenator ; 2 ' 3 ' 7 ' 13 ' 14> (3) aortc synchronzed counter pulsaton to lower the pressure durng left ventrcular ejecton and to rase t when the valves are closed; 8 and (4) left heart bypass, from left atrum to aorta. 8 The studes here reported have been done smultaneously wth our development of a smple method of nearly complete left heart bypass wthout thoracotomy, adaptable to clncal acute left heart falure whether from coronary occluson, mtral dsease, or aortc stenoss too severe to respond to the usual conservatve measures. 15 It s essental, therefore, to settle the dsputed queston as to whether partal cardac bypass can reduce the oxygen utlzaton of the heart. Left heart bypass has been nvestgated here for the further reason that t s bascally less complcated than heart-lung bypass, 11 or the Harken method, more physologcal than veno-arteral pumpng, 7 ' 14 and appears to us more susceptble to performance under precse control n the laboratory.

Thrty to 5 per cent Oo was gven wth an Engstrom resprator. The establshed technque conssted n securng 1 a cannula n the coronary snus by a lgature just dstal to the vena magna, cords, from whch a Y-tube led ether back to the rght atrum or to a condom attached at the level of the top of the atrum and supported dstally by one pan of a balance. Snus blood flow was measured by stopwatch and clamp occluson of the atral return tube at physologcal pressures (6 mm. I.D. throughout cnnnul.-, and 4 cm. of tubng) (fg. 1). For the bypass crcut, blood was draned from the transseptal cannula, 15 a cannula n the left atral appendage (abandoned because of poor maxmum flows), or a cannula, n the upper end of the left atrum (abandoned because of ar embolsm). It passed by sphonage through an AGA flowmeter* to a flexble-walled chamber placed 8 to 9 cm. below the atrum, from whch a, roller pump returned t to a proxmal femoral artery (fg. 1). A large sde tube permtted rapd addton or removal of blood. There was no bloodar contact. Blood and blood crcuts were prepared aseptcally; the surgcal technque was clean, not aseptc; and penclln and streptomycn were gven before dssecton. Heparn (3 mg./kg.) was gven after prelmnary dssectons. A mercury manometer was used for arteral blood pressure eght tmes, an Elema Mngograf 42B wth 1-rnn. polyethylene cannulas, nne tmes; the latter was also used for left ventrcular and left arteral pressures four tmes. A water manometer permtted mantenance of central venous pressure durng experments always wthn 3 cm. of the control, and always below 1 cm., except once when t was delberately rased. Temperature was held between 36 and 39 C. The electrocardograph was used to record pulse rates at tmes. Coronary snus blood samples were taken through a stopcock n the tube to the condom after two or more flow measurements. Arteral samples were drawn through a 1-mra. polythene catheter n the aortc arch. Blood was drawn nto standardzed slconzed syrnges, whch were sealed and l-efrgerated untl O2 determnaton (maxmum three hours). Although early exper- "Aktebolaget Gas Accumulator, Ldngo, Sweden.

Tr category I, all preparatons were made, but no bypass was used; the effects of changes n blood pressure secondary to wthdrawal or addton of blood, and the effects of mnute gas embolsm and of manpulaton were assayed. In category II, observatons were made n pars, one durng bypass and the other wthout t. Except for two nstances (see table 2), the control ether mmedately preceded or followed the expermental run. Control and expermental runs were less than 1 mnutes apart n half the experments, as long as 26 mnutes once, when flows wore run n qnntuplcate (here controls both preceded and followed the expermental run). The mean blood pressure was held nearly constant n the two runs of each pared observaton, that n the expermental run lyng below the control fve tmes (maxmum 4 mm., mean 2 mm.

Results CATEGORY I Coronary snus flows were not detectably altered by changes n level of the juncton of tubng to condom between 3 and +3 cm. above the top of the rght atrum. Resstance to flow through the crcut or nto the condom at the rates measured was less than 1 cm. In the absence of bypass, both coronary snus flow and O 2 utlzaton vary wth changes n blood pressure brought about by alterng the blood volume (fg. 2). There was slow varaton n control coronary snus flows and O2 utlzaton rates done serally wth ntervenng bypass runs even though the blood pressure was held constant (table 1). On the other hand, O2 utlzaton was ncreased followng mnmal ar embolsm (25 per cent on two observatons), manpulaton of the heart (25 per cent once), or fbrllaton and defbrllaton (15 per cent once), even though the blood pressure was controlled.

(Lower) Tracngs taken a few moments after upper tracngs at 25 mm. per second paper speed. The aortc pulsatons n the frst one-thrd of the record are clearly not ventrcular n orgn. The rse n left atral pressure when the pump support s stopped s assocated wth a drop n aortc pressure, whch n ths nstatce s temporary. In two dogs, the "tme-tenson ndex" (T.T.I.) of Sarnoff et al.2 was determned. The areas were measured under the left ventrcular pressure tracng on paper movng 1 mm. per second. The T.T.I, showed no decrease on partal bypass untl dsappearance of the left ventrcular component from the aortc pressure tracng (table 4). The slope of the steepest porton of the ascendng lmb of the systolc rse changed smlarly wth ncrease n bypass flow. Oxygen studes were not done on these dogs. Dscusson The mechansm by whch reducton n left ventrcular work s accomplshed by left heart bypass appears to be through reducton of left atral pressure to such a level that left ventrcular fllng s reduced or elmnated (fg. 4). That left ventrcular fllng does not occur under full left heart bypass wth the transseptal cannula n the absence of thoracotomy s demonstrated by angocardographc studes to be reported.23 Late n some experments, there was dffculty n holdng Crculaton Research, Volume X, March 1968

The blood pressure drop seen for a few seconds durng termnaton of hgh bypass may be due to the loss n systemc blood volume ncdent to refllng of the pulmonary vens and left heart suffcently to lead to effectve left ventrcular ejecton nto the aorta (fg. 4 lower). The rapdty of ths response s a good ndex of the stablty of the expermental preparaton. 15 The senstvty of the O2 utlzaton rate to multple factors (ar embolsm, manpulaton, tme) led us to the employment of the parng of expermental runs wth adjacent controls whch we have descrbed. The possblty that ar mero-embol mght be a factor n rasng cardac O 2 utlzaton confrmed our decson to use left bypass, and therefore no oxygenator, and to use a completely closed system, for ths study. As defned by Sarnoff: et al., 2 "the tmetenson ndex (T.T.I.) per beat n mm. Hg seconds was obtaned from the area under the systolc porton of the aortc pressure curve and s equal to the mean systolc pressure tmes the duraton of systole."

Ther work was concerned wth cardac outputs of 1 L. per mnute or more, whereas ours n consderable measure has nvolved bypass flows suffcent to reduce the calculated left ventrcular mnute output to less than 1 L. In some of our experments, bypass flow was suffcent so that some or all left ventrcular contractons faled to eject blood nto the aorta, a stuaton n whch Sarnoff's T.T.I, would be zero, but n whch the oxygen utlzaton s more than half the control level. We have, therefore, calculated the T.T.I, from the area under the left ventrcular pressure tracng, usng the end-dastolc pressure as base lne. Although full bypass produces comparable decreases n Oa utlzaton and n T.T.I., our results show defnte and consstent reductons n O2 utlzaton at lower bypass flow rates not accompaned by drops n T.T.I, (cf. fg. 3,fg.5, table 4).

Sarnoff et al. 2 suggest that varatons n Oo utlzaton mght arse from changes n the rate of development of systolc tenson whle holdng the other hemodynamc factors constant. Measurements of the slope of the steepest part of the rsng lmb of the left ventrcular tracng also faled to show correlaton wth oxygen utlzaton, as t dd not drop wth ncreasng bypass untl the left ventrcular component partally or wholly dsappeared from the aortc pressure curve (full bypass), whle O 2 utlzaton decreased wth less than 25 per cent bypass (table 4). We have not measured mean dastolc left ventrcular volume durng left heart bypass. It s possble that nsttuton of bypass may dmnsh ths value and, therefore, fber length and thus favor a decrease n 2 utlzaton, as Sarnoff suggests. In spte of the conclusons of others that bypass less than the full cardac output does not reduce 2 utlzaton by the heart, 8 ' 1 ' 12 ' 2 our use of left bypass wthout the complcatons of an oxygenator, the precson of our control of varables such as respraton, blood volume, blood pressure, venous pressure, temperature, and manpulaton, the elmnaton of gaseous mcro-embolsm, and the statstcal sgnfcance of our fndngs, lead us to the belef our conclusons are vald. We have measured total coronary snus flow only. It s suspected that the reductons n Oo utlzaton, here reported, mght be more strkng f one could measure blood draned from the left ventrcular muscle only, wthout admxture of blood whch has perfused the rght ventrcle, whch s reported to use approxmately as much ^ as the workng left ventrcle. 22 It s possble, on the other hand, that the proporton of total coronary flow draned by the coronary snus vares wth nsttuton of left bypass, and ths s a possblty we have not yet studed. We are proposng to use left heart bypass wthout thoracotomy by means of atra] septal puncture for such catastrophes as major coronary arteral occluson, or severe mtral dsease or aortc stenoss Avhch cannot be handled more conservatvely wth success. The method has been used for 24-hour runs wth survval of 9 of 1 dogs. n The results here reported ndcate a reducton n oxygen need on left bypass wth an ncrease n oxygen tenson n the myocardum (as reflected by that n the blood from the coronary snus), a drop n left atral and pulmonary ven pressure (antcpatng relef of pulmonary edema), whle mantanng a sound arteral blood pressure to assure good perfuson of the stll patent coronary arteral tree. Whether a few hours of support mght permt enough muscular recovery for patent survval wthout defnte surgcal procedure, as past experence suggests, 1 or whether left bypass be used a few hours as preparaton for defntve operaton, as we have once so far employed t clncally, 15 s a queston whch must awat further experence for resoluton. Summary Full left heart bypass reduces the oxygen utlzaton of the heart to about half the control levels, as measured by coronary snus flow and arterovenous oxygen dfferences. All measured lesser degrees of bypass reduce the oxygen utlzaton less markedly, but wth hgh statstcal sgnfcance of the reductons below controls. The reducton n oxygen utlzaton upon nsttuton of partal or complete left bypass s usually the result more of a decrease n arterovenous oxygen dfference than of a decrease n coronary sums blood flow. These results support the thess that left heart bypass should be benefcal n reducng the nternal work of the left ventrcle n acute left heart falure wth competent aortc valve.
