Elamipretide mitigates ischemia-reperfusion injury in a swine model of hemorrhagic shock. Sci Rep 2023; 13:4496.

Abstract
ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) after hemorrhage is potentiated by aortic occlusion or resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). Given the central role of mitochondrial injury in shock, we hypothesized that Elamipretide, a peptide that protects mitochondria, would mitigate IRI after hemorrhagic shock and REBOA. Twelve pigs were subjected to hemorrhagic shock and 45 min of REBOA. After 25 min of REBOA, animals received either saline or Elamipretide. Animals were transfused with autologous blood during balloon deflation, and pigs were resuscitated with isotonic crystalloids and norepinephrine for 4.25 h. Elamipretide-treated animals required less crystalloids than the controls (62.5 [50-90] and 25 [5-30] mL/kg, respectively), but similar amounts of norepinephrine (24.7 [8.6-39.3] and 9.7 [2.1-12.5] mcg/kg, respectively). Treatment animals had a significant reduction in serum creatinine (control: 2.7 [2.6-2.8]; Elamipretide: 2.4 [2.4-2.5] mg/dL; p = 0.04), troponin (control: 3.20 [2.14-5.47] ng/mL, Elamipretide: 0.22 [0.1-1.91] ng/mL; p = 0.03), and interleukin-6 concentrations at the end of the study. There were no differences in final plasma lactate concentration. Elamipretide reduced fluid requirements and protected the kidney and heart after profound IRI. Further understanding the subcellular consequences of REBOA and mitochondrial rescue will open new therapeutic avenues for patients suffering from IRI after hemorrhage.

Intermittent thoracic resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta improves renal function compared to 60 min continuous application after porcine class III hemorrhage. Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg 2022; 49:1303-1313. [DOI: 10.1007/s00068-022-02189-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) may be considered for stabilization of patients with hemorrhage from below the diaphragm. Occluding the aorta is a powerful means of hemorrhagic control but is also associated with acute kidney injury, which increases mortality in trauma patients. Allowing for intermittent distal blood flow during REBOA application (iREBOA) could decrease this risk, but circulatory consequences have not been sufficiently elucidated. Therefore, we investigated circulatory effects and the renal artery blood flow (RBF) in iREBOA versus continuous, complete aortic occlusion (cREBOA).
Methods
In a porcine model of uncontrolled class III hemorrhage (34% estimated total blood volume, mean 1360 mL), swine (n = 12, mean weight 60.3 kg) were randomly assigned to iREBOA: 3-min full deflation every 10 min (n = 6), or cREBOA (n = 6), for 60 min of thoracic (zone I) application. The animals then underwent 60 min of reperfusion (critical care phase).
Results
Survival was 100% in iREBOA and 83% in cREBOA. The intermittent balloon deflation protocol was hemodynamically tolerable in 63% of reperfusion intervals. Systolic blood pressure decreased during the reperfusion intervals in iREBOA animals (mean 108 mm Hg versus 169 mm Hg; p < 0.005). No differences were detected in heart rate, cardiac output or stroke volume between methods. Troponin I increased in cREBOA after 60 min (mean 666–187 ng/L, p < 0.05). The norepinephrine requirement increased in cREBOA during reperfusion (mean infusion time 12.5–5.5 min; p < 0.05). Total ischemic time decreased in iREBOA (60.0–48.6 min; p < 0.001). RBF increased in iREBOA during balloon deflations and after 60 min reperfusion (61%–39% of baseline RBF; p < 0.05). Urine output increased in iREBOA (mean 135–17 mL; p < 0.001). Nephronal osteopontin, a marker of ischemic injury, increased in cREBOA (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
iREBOA was survivable, did not cause rebleeding, decreased the total ischemic time and increased the renal blood flow, urine output and decreased renal ischemic injury compared to cREBOA. Intermittent reperfusions during REBOA may be preferred to be continuous, complete occlusion in prolonged application to improve renal function.

Automated aortic endovascular balloon volume titration prevents re-arrest immediately after return of spontaneous circulation in a swine model of nontraumatic cardiac arrest. Resusc Plus 2022; 10:100239. [PMID: 35542691 PMCID: PMC9079240 DOI: 10.1016/j.resplu.2022.100239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Revised: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives Endovascular aortic occlusion as an adjunct to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for non-traumatic cardiac arrest is gaining interest. In a recent clinical trial, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was achieved despite prolonged no-flow times. However, 66% of patients re-arrested upon balloon deflation. We aimed to determine if automated titration of endovascular balloon volume following ROSC can augment diastolic blood pressure (DBP) to prevent re-arrest. Methods Twenty swine were anesthetized and placed into ventricular fibrillation (VF). Following 7 minutes of no-flow VF and 5 minutes of mechanical CPR, animals were subjected to complete aortic occlusion to adjunct CPR. Upon ROSC, the balloon was either deflated steadily over 5 minutes (control) or underwent automated, dynamic adjustments to maintain a DBP of 60 mmHg (Endovascular Variable Aortic Control, EVAC). Results ROSC was obtained in ten animals (5 EVAC, 5 REBOA). Sixty percent (3/5) of control animals rearrested while none of the EVAC animals rearrested (p = 0.038). Animals in the EVAC group spent a significantly higher proportion of the post-ROSC period with a DBP > 60 mmHg [median (IQR)] [control 79.7 (72.5–86.0)%; EVAC 97.7 (90.8–99.7)%, p = 0.047]. The EVAC group had a statistically significant reduction in arterial lactate concentration [7.98 (7.4–8.16) mmol/L] compared to control [9.93 (8.86–10.45) mmol/L, p = 0.047]. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in the amount of adrenaline (epinephrine) required. Conclusion In our swine model of cardiac arrest, automated aortic endovascular balloon titration improved DBP and prevented re-arrest in the first 20 minutes after ROSC.

Front Physiol 2022; 13:871073. [PMID: 35615678 PMCID: PMC9125334 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.871073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is used for aortic control in hemorrhagic shock despite little quantification of its mechanism of resuscitation or cardiac injury. The goal of this study was to use pressure-volume (PV) loop analysis and direct coronary blood flow measurements to describe the physiologic changes associated with the clinical use of REBOA. Methods: Swine underwent surgical and vascular access to measure left ventricular PV loops and left coronary flow in hemorrhagic shock and subsequent placement of occlusive REBOA, partial REBOA, and no REBOA. PV loop characteristics and coronary flow are compared graphically with PV loops and coronary waveforms, and quantitatively with measures of the end systolic and end pressure volume relationship, and coronary flow parameters, with accounting for multiple comparisons. Results: Hemorrhagic shock was induced in five male swine (mean 53.6 ± 3.6 kg) as demonstrated by reduction of stroke work (baseline: 3.1 vs. shock: 1.2 L*mmHg, p < 0.01) and end systolic pressure (ESP; 109.8 vs. 59.6 mmHg, p < 0.01). ESP increased with full REBOA (178.4 mmHg; p < 0.01), but only moderately with partial REBOA (103.0 mmHg, p < 0.01 compared to shock). End systolic elastance was augmented from baseline to shock (1.01 vs. 0.39 ml/mmHg, p < 0.01) as well as shock compared to REBOA (4.50 ml/mmHg, p < 0.01) and partial REBOA (3.22 ml/mmHg, p = 0.01). Percent time in antegrade coronary flow decreased in shock (94%-71.8%, p < 0.01) but was rescued with REBOA. Peak flow increased with REBOA (271 vs. shock: 93 ml/min, p < 0.01) as did total flow (peak: 2136, baseline: 424 ml/min, p < 0.01). REBOA did not augment the end diastolic pressure volume relationship. Conclusion: REBOA increases afterload to facilitate resuscitation, but the penalty is supraphysiologic coronary flows and imposed increase in LV contractility to maintain cardiac output. Partial REBOA balances the increased afterload with improved aortic system compliance to prevent injury.
