Abstract
Despite impressive improvements in the care of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, mortality remains high. Reperfusion is necessary for myocardial salvage, but the abrupt return of flow sets off a cascade of injurious processes that can lead to further necrosis. This has been termed myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and is the subject of this review. The pathologic and molecular bases for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury are increasingly understood and include injury from reactive oxygen species, inflammation, calcium overload, endothelial dysfunction, and impaired microvascular flow. A variety of pharmacologic strategies have been developed that have worked well in preclinical models and some have shown promise in the clinical setting. In addition, there are newer mechanical approaches including mechanical unloading of the heart prior to reperfusion that are in current clinical trials.

Microvascular Obstruction in Patients With Anterior STEMI Treated With Supersaturated Oxygen. JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY FOR CARDIOVASCULAR ANGIOGRAPHY & INTERVENTIONS 2024; 3:101356. [PMID: 39132455 PMCID: PMC11307792 DOI: 10.1016/j.jscai.2024.101356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
Background Supersaturated oxygen (SSO2) delivered into the left anterior descending coronary artery after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been shown to reduce infarct size, but its effects on microvascular obstruction (MVO) are unknown. The aim of this study was to compare MVO in patients with anterior STEMI treated with SSO2 after successful primary PCI from 2 studies (the optimized SSO2 pilot and IC-HOT) with similar patients from 7 randomized trials who underwent primary PCI without SSO2 treatment. Methods A total of 874 patients with anterior STEMI who underwent MVO assessment using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging within 10 days after primary PCI were included, of whom 90 patients (10.3%) were treated with SSO2. The primary end point was the extent of MVO as a continuous measure in a weighted multivariable model. The secondary end point was the presence of MVO. Results SSO2 therapy was independently associated with a lower extent of MVO compared with no SSO2 therapy (coefficient, -1.35; 95% CI, -2.58 to -0.11; P = .03). SSO2 therapy was also associated with a borderline lower risk of any MVO (adjusted odds ratio, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.31-1.00; P = .051). Conclusions In the present individual patient data pooled analysis from 9 studies, SSO2 therapy was associated with less MVO after successful primary PCI for anterior STEMI.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although early reperfusion is the most effective strategy to salvage ischemic myocardium, reperfusion injury can develop with the restoration of blood flow. Therefore, it is important to identify protection mechanisms and strategies for the heart after myocardial infarction. Recent studies have shown that multiple intracellular molecules and signaling pathways are involved in cardioprotection. Meanwhile, device-based cardioprotective modalities such as cardiac left ventricular unloading, hypothermia, coronary sinus intervention, supersaturated oxygen (SSO2), and remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) have become important areas of research. Herein, we review the molecular mechanisms of cardioprotection and cardioprotective modalities after ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) to identify potential approaches to reduce mortality and improve prognosis in patients with AMI.

Abstract
This comprehensive case report documents the treatment of a 37-year-old female patient who presented with anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), followed by an innovative therapy - optimized supersaturated oxygen therapy (SSO2). This therapy was chosen due to its potential to enhance myocardial salvage, particularly in severe MI cases like the patient. The report meticulously details the patient's clinical course, including the diagnostic procedures and the rationale behind opting for SSO2 therapy. It highlights the significant improvements observed post-therapy: enhanced left ventricular (LV) function and a remarkable reduction in the size of the LV apical aneurysm. These outcomes suggest a direct benefit of SSO2 in reducing myocardial damage. Finally, the report discusses the broader implications of these findings. It underscores the potential of optimized SSO2 therapy in clinical settings, particularly for patients with anterior MI. The case exemplifies how advanced therapeutic interventions like SSO2 can play a pivotal role in improving clinical outcomes post-MI, thereby advocating for its consideration in similar clinical scenarios.

Abstract
Microvascular obstruction (MVO) is a recognised phenomenon following mechanical reperfusion in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Invasive and non-invasive modalities to detect and measure the extent of MVO vary in their accuracy, suggesting that this phenomenon may reflect a spectrum of pathophysiological changes at the level of coronary microcirculation. The importance of detecting MVO lies in the observation that its presence adds incremental risk to patients following STEMI treatment. This increased risk is associated with adverse cardiac remodelling seen on cardiac imaging, increased infarct size, and worse patient outcomes. This review provides an outline of the pathophysiology, clinical implications, and prognosis of MVO in STEMI. It describes historic and novel pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies to address this phenomenon in conjunction with primary PCI.

Abstract
Coronary no-reflow (CNR) is a frequent phenomenon that develops in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) following reperfusion therapy. CNR is highly dynamic, develops gradually (over hours) and persists for days to weeks after reperfusion. Microvascular obstruction (MVO) developing as a consequence of myocardial ischemia, distal embolization and reperfusion-related injury is the main pathophysiological mechanism of CNR. The frequency of CNR or MVO after primary PCI differs widely depending on the sensitivity of the tools used for diagnosis and timing of examination. Coronary angiography is readily available and most convenient to diagnose CNR but it is highly conservative and underestimates the true frequency of CNR. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the most sensitive method to diagnose MVO and CNR that provides information on the presence, localization and extent of MVO. CMR imaging detects intramyocardial hemorrhage and accurately estimates the infarct size. MVO and CNR markedly negate the benefits of reperfusion therapy and contribute to poor clinical outcomes including adverse remodeling of left ventricle, worsening or new congestive heart failure and reduced survival. Despite extensive research and the use of therapies that target almost all known pathophysiological mechanisms of CNR, no therapy has been found that prevents or reverses CNR and provides consistent clinical benefit in patients with STEMI undergoing reperfusion. Currently, the prevention or alleviation of MVO and CNR remain unmet goals in the therapy of STEMI that continue to be under intense research.

Abstract
Supersaturated oxygen (SSO2) is one of the emerging therapies that has shown benefit for patients suffering from acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in terms of reducing infarct size, which has been used as a prognostic indicator for future heart failure and hospitalizations. Trials investigating SSO2 therapy have shown improvement in infarct size when used as an adjunct therapy to percutaneous trans-luminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (aMI). Here we present a patient with a mid left anterior descending artery (mLAD) STEMI who underwent SSO2 therapy. The patient presented with new onset angina and ST elevations on EKG. He underwent emergent coronary angiography, which confirmed an mLAD complete vessel occlusion. Successful PCI was done with a drug-eluting stent followed by supersaturated oxygen therapy. On follow-up evaluation, the patient had improved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction from 35% to 60%. This case highlights the safety and efficacy of SSO2 therapy for patients suffering from acute anterior wall myocardial infarction. We recommend further investigation of this therapy for its routine use, safety, and prognostic utility. We also recommend routine use of adjunctive SSO2 therapy for patients suffering acute anterior STEMI.

Abstract
Coronary no-reflow (NR) defined as inadequate myocardial perfusion despite restoration of coronary artery patency is a bane for an interventional cardiologist. It can complicate percutaneous coronary interventions especially in the setting of STEMI and dampens the potential benefits of PPCI. Broadly classified as Reperfusion NR and Interventional NR, mechanism is multifactorial. The basic underlying culprit is microvascular obstruction either secondary to distal embolization, intravascular plugging, or ischemic reperfusion injury. Coronary angiogram is an easy, readily available, and essential modality to diagnose no-reflow, but the gold standard is gadolinium-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. Preventive strategies for NR should be integral part of prePCI planning especially in clinical scenario where NR is expected such as STEMI with delayed presentation and high thrombus burden, atherectomy, and SVG PCI. The cornerstone of treatment for NR is local vasodilators and antiplatelet therapy to ameliorate vasospasm and thromboembolism respectively, and different combinations of the two should be used in no specific order to achieve reversal of NR. NR phenomenon is associated with poor short-term and long-term prognosis and every attempt should be made to avoid or reverse it. Therapeutic hypothermia, hyperoxemic reperfusion therapy, targeted anti-inflammatory approach, and cellular approach appear proising but further research is mandatory.

Abstract
Molecular oxygen possesses a dual nature due to its highly reactive free radical property: it is capable of oxidizing metabolic substrates to generate cellular energy, but can also serve as a substrate for genotoxic reactive oxygen species generation. As a labile substance upon which aerobic life depends, the mechanisms for handling cellular oxygen have been fine-tuned and orchestrated in evolution. Protection from atmospheric oxygen toxicity as originally posited by the Endosymbiotic Theory of the Mitochondrion is likely to be one basic principle underlying oxygen homeostasis. We briefly review the literature on oxygen homeostasis both in vitro and in vivo with a focus on the role of the mitochondrion where the majority of cellular oxygen is consumed. The insights gleaned from these basic mechanisms are likely to be important for understanding disease pathogenesis and developing strategies for maintaining health.

Abstract
For almost 30 years, urgent revascularization termed primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) has been a cornerstone of modern care for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It lowers mortality and improved cardiovascular outcome compared to conservative therapy including thrombolysis. Reperfusion injury, which occurs after successful re-opening of the formerly occluded coronary artery, had been exploited as a potential therapeutic target. When revascularisation became faster and pPCI was successfully performed within 60-90 minutes of symptom onset, the interest in a potential additive effect of targeting reperfusion injury vanished. More recently, several meta-analyses indicated that limiting reperfusion injury prevents microvascular obstruction and reduces final infarct size, thereby lowering the probability of heart failure events and improving quality of life in AMI survivors. Here, we describe the current strategies to limit reperfusion injury and to improve post-AMI outcomes such as systemic or intracoronary hypothermia, left-ventricular unloading, intracoronary infusion of super-saturated oxygen, intermittent coronary sinus occlusion, and C-reactive protein apharesis.

Abstract
There is a discrepancy between epicardial vessel patency and microcirculation perfusion in a third of patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Optimization with aspiration thrombectomy (AT) may reduce distal embolization and microvascular obstruction. The effect of AT in the treatment of STEMI is debatable. The purpose of this study was to use cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to determine whether AT influences microvascular obstruction (MVO), infarct size and left ventricular (LV) remodelling in STEMI patients. Sixty STEMI patients with a thrombus-occluded coronary artery were randomized in a 2:1 fashion to receive PCI proceeded by AT (AT + PCI group), or PCI only. MVO, myocardial infarct size and LV remodelling were assessed by CMR during the index hospitalization and 6 months thereafter. The majority of patients had a large thrombus burden (TIMI thrombus grade 5 in over 70% of patients). PCI and AT were effective in all cases. There were no periprocedural strokes. CMR showed that the addition of AT to standard PCI was associated with lesser MVO when indexed to the infarct size and larger infarct size reduction. There were less patients with left ventricle remodelling in the AT + PCI vs. the PCI only group. To conclude, in STEMI patients with a high thrombus burden, AT added to PCI is effective in reducing infarct size, MVO and LV remodelling.

Abstract
Primary percutaneous angioplasty (pPCI), represents the reperfusion strategy of choice for patients with STEMI according to current international guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology. Coronary no-reflow is characterized by angiographic evidence of slow or no anterograde epicardial flow, resulting in inadequate myocardial perfusion in the absence of evidence of mechanical vessel obstruction. No reflow (NR) is related to a functional and structural alteration of the coronary microcirculation and we can list four main pathophysiological mechanisms: distal atherothrombotic embolization, ischemic damage, reperfusion injury, and individual susceptibility to microvascular damage. This review will provide a contemporary overview of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of NR.

Abstract
The study assessed chronic myocardial, coronary and systemic effects of intracoronary supersaturated oxygen (SSO2) therapy. Left anterior descending coronary arteries of 40 swine were stented and randomized to 90-min selective intracoronary infusion of SSO2 (pO2 760-1000 mmHg) or normoxemic saline. In 20 out of 40 animals, SSO2 delivery followed a 60-min balloon occlusion to induce myocardial infarction (MI). In both normal and MI models, intracoronary treatment with hyperoxemic SSO2 therapy showed no evidence of coronary thrombosis. There were no biologically relevant differences between treatments at either time point in regard to coronary intervention site healing and neointimal growth. No signs of any myocardial or systemic toxicity were observed after 7 or 30 days. A trend was observed toward reduced incidence of microscopic MI scars and reduced infarct size in histopathology, as well as toward better recovery of echocardiographically evaluated global and regional contractility at 30 days. No treatment related infarcts or thromboemboli were observed in the downstream organs.

Abstract
Optimal medical therapy for secondary prevention following acute myocardial infarction reduces non-fatal ischaemic events. Intensive antithrombotic or lipid-lowering approaches have failed to significantly lower mortality. In the past, reduction of infarct size in patients undergoing primary percutaneous revascularisation for acute myocardial infarction had been considered as a surrogate outcome marker. However, infarct size measured by magnetic resonance imaging or SPECT is strongly associated with all-cause mortality and hospitalization for heart failure within the first year after an acute myocardial infarction. Intracoronary administration of super-saturated oxygen (SSO2) immediately after revascularisation is an approach that can be used to reduce infarct size and, therefore, improve cardiovascular outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction. In this article, we describe the modulation of pathophysiology by SSO2, review the existing trial data and present our first impressions with the technique in real clinical practice.

Abstract
Despite the fact that door-to-balloon times have been greatly reduced, the rates of death and the incidence of heart failure in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) have plateaued. There is still an unmet need to further reduce MI size in the reperfusion era. Most adjunctive therapies to enhance myocardial salvage have failed, but some have shown promise. Currently, the only adjunctive therapy in a pivotal trial that has demonstrated reductions in infarct size is localized delivery of supersaturated oxygen (SSO2) therapy. This review provides background on prior infarct size reduction efforts. The authors describe the preclinical data that shows the effectiveness of SSO2 in reducing MI size, improving regional myocardial blood flow and cardiac function, and reducing adverse left ventricular remodeling-presumably by reducing patchy areas of residual ischemia within the reperfused risk zone. Potential mechanisms by which SSO2 is beneficial are described, including the delivery of high levels of dissolved oxygen through plasma to ischemic, but viable, vascular and myocardial cells, thus allowing their survival and function. The authors then describe the SSO2 clinical trials, demonstrating that in patients with anterior ST-segment elevation MI, SSO2 therapy safely and effectively reduces infarct size, improves cardiac function, and reduces adverse left ventricular remodeling.

Abstract
Cardiac reperfusion injury is a well-established outcome following treatment of acute myocardial infarction and other types of ischemic heart conditions. Numerous cardioprotection protocols and therapies have been pursued with success in pre-clinical models. Unfortunately, there has been lack of successful large-scale clinical translation, perhaps in part due to the multiple pathways that reperfusion can contribute to cell death. The search continues for new cardioprotection protocols based on what has been learned from past results. One class of cardioprotection protocols that remain under active investigation is that of controlled reperfusion. This class consists of those approaches that modify, in a controlled manner, the content of the reperfusate or the mechanical properties of the reperfusate (e.g., pressure and flow). This review article first provides a basic overview of the primary pathways to cell death that have the potential to be addressed by various forms of controlled reperfusion, including no-reflow phenomenon, ion imbalances (particularly calcium overload), and oxidative stress. Descriptions of various controlled reperfusion approaches are described, along with summaries of both mechanistic and outcome-oriented studies at the pre-clinical and clinical phases. This review will constrain itself to approaches that modify endogenously-occurring blood components. These approaches include ischemic postconditioning, gentle reperfusion, controlled hypoxic reperfusion, controlled hyperoxic reperfusion, controlled acidotic reperfusion, and controlled ionic reperfusion. This review concludes with a discussion of the limitations of past approaches and how they point to potential directions of investigation for the future.

Abstract
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) has dramatically changed the outcome of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, despite improvements in interventional technology, registry data show little recent change in the prognosis of patients who survive STEMI, with a significant incidence of cardiogenic shock, heart failure, and cardiac death. Despite a technically successful PPCI procedure, a variable proportion of patients experience suboptimal myocardial reperfusion. Large infarct size and coronary microvascular injury, as the consequence of ischaemia-reperfusion injury and distal embolization of atherothrombotic debris, account for suboptimal long-term prognosis of STEMI patients. In order to address this unmet therapeutic need, a broad-range of device-based treatments has been developed. These device-based therapies can be categorized according to the pathophysiological pathways they target: (i) techniques to prevent distal atherothrombotic embolization, (ii) techniques to prevent or mitigate ischaemia/reperfusion injury, and (iii) techniques to enhance coronary microvascular function/integrity. This review is an overview of these novel technologies with a focus on their pathophysiological background, procedural details, available evidence, and with a critical perspective about their potential future implementation in the clinical care of STEMI patients.

Abstract
To some extent, cell therapy for myocardial infarction (MI) has supported the idea of cardiac repair; however, further optimizations are inevitable. Combined approaches that comprise suitable cell sources and supporting molecules considerably improved its effect. Here, we devised a strategy of simultaneous transplantation of human cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) and an optimized oxygen generating microparticles (MPs) embedded in fibrin hydrogel, which was injected into a left anterior descending artery (LAD) ligating-based rat model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Functional parameters of the heart, particularly left ventricular systolic function, markedly improved and reached pre-AMI levels. This functional restoration was well correlated with substantially lower fibrotic tissue formation and greater vascular density in the infarct area. Our novel approach promoted CPCs retention and differentiation into cardiovascular lineages. We propose this novel co-transplantation strategy for more efficient cell therapy of AMI which may function by providing an oxygen-rich microenvironment, and thus regulate cell survival and differentiation.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. While pharmacological and surgical interventions developed in the late twentieth century drastically improved patient outcomes, mortality rates over the last two decades have begun to plateau. Following ischemic injury, pathological remodeling leads to cardiomyocyte loss and fibrosis leading to impaired heart function. Cardiomyocyte turnover rate in the adult heart is limited, and no clinical therapies currently exist to regenerate cardiomyocytes lost following ischemic injury. In this review, we summarize the progress of therapeutic strategies including revascularization and cell-based interventions to regenerate the heart: transiently inducing cardiomyocyte proliferation and direct reprogramming of fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes. Moreover, we highlight recent mechanistic insights governing these strategies to promote heart regeneration and identify current challenges in translating these approaches to human patients.

Abstract
Improvements in systems, technology and pharmacotherapy have significantly changed the prognosis over recent decades in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. These clinical achievements have, however, begun to plateau and it is becoming increasingly necessary to consider novel strategies to further improve outcomes. Approximately a third of patients treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction will suffer from coronary no-reflow (NR), a condition characterized by poor myocardial perfusion despite patent epicardial arteries. The presence of NR impacts significantly on clinical outcomes including left ventricular dysfunction, heart failure and death, yet conventional management algorithms neither assess the risk of NR nor treat NR. This review will provide a contemporary overview on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of NR.

Abstract
Protection against ischaemia-reperfusion injury after revascularisation in acute myocardial infarction remains an enigma. Many targets have been identified, but after the failure of the recent Effect of Remote Ischaemic Conditioning on Clinical Outcomes in ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (CONDI2/ERIC-PPCI) trial to show translation to clinical benefit, there is still no pharmacological or mechanical strategy that has translated to clinical practice. This article addresses the results of the CONDI2/ERIC-PPCI trial in the context of previous studies of ischaemic conditioning, and then considers the prospects for other potential targets of cardioprotection. Finally, the authors examine the pitfalls and challenges in trial design for future investigation of cardioprotective strategies. In particular, this article highlights the need for careful endpoint and patient selection, as well as the need to pay attention to the biology of cardioprotection during the study.

One-year outcomes of supersaturated oxygen therapy in acute anterior myocardial infarction: The IC-HOT study. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2020; 97:1120-1126. [PMID: 32649037 PMCID: PMC8246818 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.29090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2020] [Revised: 05/26/2020] [Accepted: 05/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Supersaturated oxygen (SSO2 ) has recently been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for administration after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in patients with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) based on its demonstration of infarct size reduction in the IC-HOT study. OBJECTIVES To describe the 1-year clinical outcomes of intracoronary SSO2 treatment after pPCI in patients with anterior STEMI. METHODS IC-HOT was a prospective, open-label, single-arm study in which 100 patients without cardiogenic shock undergoing successful pPCI of an occluded left anterior descending coronary artery were treated with a 60-min SSO2 infusion. One-year clinical outcomes were compared with a propensity-matched control group of similar patients with anterior STEMI enrolled in the INFUSE-AMI trial. RESULTS Baseline and postprocedural characteristics were similar in the two groups except for pre-PCI thrombolysis in myocardial infarction 3 flow, which was less prevalent in patients treated with SSO2 (9.6% vs. 22.9%, p = .02). Treatment with SSO2 was associated with a lower 1-year rate of the composite endpoint of all-cause death or new-onset heart failure (HF) or hospitalization for HF (0.0% vs. 12.3%, p = .001). All-cause mortality, driven by cardiovascular mortality, and new-onset HF or HF hospitalization were each individually lower in SSO2 -treated patients. There were no significant differences between groups in the 1-year rates of reinfarction or clinically driven target vessel revascularization. CONCLUSIONS Infusion of SSO2 following pPCI in patients with anterior STEMI was associated with improved 1-year clinical outcomes including lower rates of death and new-onset HF or HF hospitalizations.

Effects of Protective Controlled Coronary Reperfusion on Left Ventricular Remodeling in Dogs With Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Pilot Study. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2020; 21:1579-1584. [PMID: 32417208 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2020.05.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2020] [Revised: 04/26/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery obstruction causes ischemia of cardiac tissue, leading to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The treatment of choice for reducing acute myocardial ischemic injury is early, effective vascular reperfusion using thrombolytic therapy or primary percutaneous coronary intervention. However, reperfusion can cause cardiomyocyte injury. Currently, there is no effective therapy to prevent cardiac reperfusion-related tissue damage. This study evaluated whether Protective Controlled Coronary Reperfusion (PCCR), selectively delivered to ischemic tissue, is associated with decreased myocardial scarring, contractile deterioration and reperfusion-associated myocardial edema. METHODS Three hours of cardiac ischemia was induced in 10 mongrel dogs, and followed by either 30-minute PCCR or sham treatment. Cardiac performance was evaluated 2, 4 and 6 months later. Trichrome staining was used to distinguish collagen from viable myocardial tissue and to evaluate mean scar area. RESULTS One hour following reperfusion, PCCR significantly attenuated the relative increase (edema) in left ventricular end diastolic posterior wall thickness compared with sham treatment. At 6 months follow-up, the PCCR group showed a modest corrected increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (c∆LVEF) in comparison to the sham group where it deteriorated (2.3 ± 10.5% vs. -16.4 ± 10.3%, respectively, p = 0.043). Histomorphometric assessments of the hearts showed the PCCR group had smaller area of scarring, as compared to sham-treated animals (9.0 ± 2.4% vs. 14.0 ± 3.3%, p = 0.047). CONCLUSIONS In this pilot study, PCCR reduced myocardial edema, modestly increased in c∆LVEF and resulted in a smaller scar area. Further studies are needed to fully ascertain the mechanisms that underlie the potential benefits of PCCR therapy prior to initiating clinical trials in human subjects with AMI.

Abstract
Following a prolonged coronary arterial occlusion, heterogeneously scattered, focal regions of low erythrocyte flow are commonly found throughout the reperfused myocardium. Experimental studies have also demonstrated the presence of widespread, focally patchy regions of microvascular ischemia during reperfusion (RMI). However, the potential contribution of RMI to tissue viability and function has received little attention in the absence of practical clinical methods for its detection. In this review, the anatomic/functional basis of RMI is summarized, along with the evidence for its presence in reperfused myocardium. Advances in microcirculation research related to obstructive responses of vascular endothelial cells and blood elements to the effects of hypoxia and low shear stress are discussed, and a potential cycle of intensification of RMI from such responses and progressive loss of functional capillary density is presented. In capillaries with impaired erythrocyte flow, compensatory increases in the delivery of oxygen, because of its low solubility in plasma, are effective only at high partial pressures. As discussed herein, attenuation of the cycle with oxygen at hyperbaric levels in plasma is, very likely, responsible for improved tissue level perfusion noted experimentally. Observed clinical benefits from intracoronary SuperSaturated oxygen (SSO2) delivery, including infarct size reduction, can be attributed to attenuation of RMI with improvement in microvascular blood flow.

Abstract
The intracoronary hyperoxemic oxygen therapy study, designed to demonstrate the safety of supersaturated oxygen (SSO2 ) infused into the left main coronary after percutaneous coronary intervention for anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), demonstrated a net adverse clinical event rate of 7.1%, lower than the Food and Drug Administration-set goal of 10.7%. SSO2 , which has reduced infarct size in clinical STEMI trials, might become an important strategy for treating anterior STEMIs. Larger postmarketing trials are needed to determine whether decreases in infarct size are observed in real-world populations, whether they translate into improved clinical outcomes, and whether modifications in technique can streamline the administration of SSO2 therapy.
