1 Reperfusion Injury, Cardioprotection, and 2 Decades of Failed Studies The Dark Side of Reperfusion 2014 MFMER

2 Reduction of Infarct Size in the Experimental Animal What can be achieved? No reperfusion With standard reperfusion With standard reperfusion plus cardioprotection Infarct size 75% Infarct size reduced 40% Infarct size reduced by further 25% Heusch, Gersh et al: Lancet 383:1933, MFMER

3 Mechanisms of Myocardial Malperfusion Lysis/PPCI Microvascular obstruction/ dysfunction no-reflow phenomenon Reperfusion injury? Thrombus Obstruction Platelet microemboli Spasm Atheroemboli Free O 2 radicals Hemorrhage Neutrophil plugging Microvascular spasm Mitochondrial dysfunction and permeability Intracellular Tissue calcium edema overload Myocardial necrosis? Inflammation Inflammation? 2015 MFMER

4 Event-free survival (%) Event-free survival (%) Freedom from cardiac death (%) Cumulative (%) Indices of Microvascular Dysfunction and Prognosis Angiographic TIMI Flow Reflow group ST-Segment Recovery and Myocardial Blush Grade P=0.01 <70%, Blush 0/1 (a) 1-yr mortality 10.1% P< No-Reflow group (TIMI 2) Months Morishima et al: JACC, 2000 Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography P< No microvascular dysfunction Months Bolognese et al: Circulation, 2004 Microvascular dysfunction Months Sorajja et al: Eur Heart J, 2005 P<0.01 <70%, Blush 2/3 (b) Magnetic Resonance Imaging Months Wu et al: Circulation, 1998 <70%, Blush 0/1 (c) <70%, Blush 2/3 (d) No microvascular obstruction Microvascular obstruction 6.3% 5.1% 1.2% 2014 MFMER

5 From Reperfusion of the IRA to the Myocardium Everything Works in the Experimental Model Epicardial Flow Microcirculation Myocardial Salvage Combination pharmacotherapy Facilitated PCI PTCA/Stents- Antithrombotics Filters Thromboembolectomy IIb/IIIa inhibitors Nicorandil Adenosine Neutrophil antagonists Complement inhibitors P-selectin inhibitors Statins Hyperoxemic perfusion O2 Cold GIK Nicorandil Adenosine Na+/H+ pump inhibitors Complement inhibitors P-selectin inhibitors Intracellular Ca modulators Delta-protein kinase C inhibitors Statins Stem cells Cyclosporine FX06 (pep fibrin-derived peptide) Erythropoietin Post-conditioning 2015 MFMER

6 Modification of Reperfusion Injury Large Agenda Unimpressive Results Randomized trials Disappointing No trial achieved primary clinical endpoint Further mechanistic studies required Changes in trial design and endpoints Adenosine ANF Cyclosporine A High dose atorvastatin GIK in ambulance Therapeutic hypothermia Therapeutic hyperoxemia Intracoronary abciximab Exenatide Some Promise? Intermittent coronary sinus occlusion Thrombectomy (manual) Ischemic postconditioning Remote ischemic preconditioning 2015 MFMER

7 Experimental Models vs Clinical Studies Lost in Translation Reperfusion injury not clinically relevant Timing of drug administration (pre-occlusion vs post) Impact of pre- and post-conditioning Adjunctive drug therapy Atherosclerosis vs ligature/occluder Different time course Occlusion/ reperfusion Dynamic evolving thrombosis Comorbidities in pt vs animals Age and sex Incomplete reperfusion Distal coronary emboli Differences in microvascular function, collaterals and coronary circulation 2015 MFMER

8 Innate protection of baboon myocardium: effects of coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion YOU-TANG SHEN, JOHN T. FALLON, MITSUNORI IWASE, AND STEPHEN F., VATNER Departments of Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston 02115; and New England Regional Primate Research Center, Southborough, Massachusetts Effects of 60 minutes of coronary occlusion/reperfusion on infarct size as a % of area at risk Pigs Dogs Baboons IF/AAR (%) Thus pigs and baboons were characterized by minimal coronary collateral circulation, but infarct size was significantly less in conscious baboons than in conscious pigs. Potentially, these differences could be explained, in part, by natural protective mechanisms and/or less reperfusion Potentially, these differences could be injuries in primates explained, in part, by natural protective mechanisms and/or less reperfusion injuries in primates Am J Physiol, MFMER

Hausenloy and Yellon: CV Res, MFMER

13 These data* are clearly as solid as they are surprising and the challenge the clinical use of cyclosporine and cardioprotection Potential Mechanisms <12 hours of symptoms Cyclosporine A dissolved in intralipid Kottenberg: Acha Anaest Scand, 2012 Chung: NEJM, 2015 Administration of platelet inhibiting P2Y12 antagonists which are cardioprotective Powerful cardioprotective agent Vehicle also used for propafol 2015 MFMER

18 The most plausible explanation for a lack of protection is the use of propofol anaesthesia in more than 90% of patients in ERICCA and all patients per-protocol in RIPHeart Propofol specifically abrogated protection ( TnI release) by remote ischemic preconditioning in patients undergoing elective CABG Protection demonstrated during CABG with isoflurane but not with propofol anesthesia a clinical trial Kottenberg: Acha Anaest Scand, MFMER

19 Remote Ischemic Preconditioning. Hopefully better understanding of the protective transfer and of the activation of myocardial signal transduction, remote ischemic preconditioning may indeed become the future of ischemic preconditioning. Mitochondria Mitochondria are critical subcellular target organelles for myocardial protection and warrant further investigation into identifying new targets, Future and Ongoing Directions Heusch and Gersh EHJ In Press 2016 MFMER
