OBJECTIVE It is controversial whether transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMLR) improves myocardial perfusion. Therefore, we assessed myocardial perfusion before and after TMLR with quantitative magnetic resonance perfusion imaging (MRPI) in an animal study. METHODS One week after partial occlusion of the left circumflex artery (LCx) in 12 pigs, resting perfusion (ml/g/min), perfusion reserve (PR) with adenosine, regional wall thickening (RWT), cardiac output (CO) were quantified with MRI in the LCx (lateral) and LAD (septal) dependent myocardium. Subsequently, six animals were treated with TMLR of the lateral left ventricle (LV). Six animals were left untreated. A final MR was performed 8 weeks later. MRPI data were compared to microsphere-derived blood flow and % LV necrosis (TTC). 'Normal' myocardial perfusion was assessed with MRPI in 12 non-instrumented animals. RESULTS Resting perfusion prior to TMLR (0.7-0.9+/-0.3) in the LV-lateral myocardium was preserved after TMLR (1.0+/-0.3) and decreased without TMLR (0.3+/-0.1, P<0.05). There was a significant difference (P<0.01) between the TMLR treated and untreated group. Compared to 'normals' (1.2+/-0.2) perfusion of the LV-lateral wall was not different after TMLR but reduced (P<0.02) without TMLR. PR was not different between TMLR-treated (1.4+/-0.9) and untreated (1.9+/-0.6) group but was reduced (P<0.04) compared to PR of 'normals' (2.7+/-0.8). MRPI data and microsphere-derived perfusion were significantly correlated (P<0.01). RWT in the LCx-dependent myocardium improved (P<0.02) after TMLR. CO decreased (P<0.02) and TTC-staining indicated more LV-necrosis without TMLR (6.6+/-1.6 vs. 3.7+/-1.5, P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS TMLR preserves regional myocardial perfusion and improves function as shown with MRPI.

D015425 Myocardial Reperfusion Generally, restoration of blood supply to heart tissue which is ischemic due to decrease in normal blood supply. The decrease may result from any source including atherosclerotic obstruction, narrowing of the artery, or surgical clamping. Reperfusion can be induced to treat ischemia. Methods include chemical dissolution of an occluding thrombus, administration of vasodilator drugs, angioplasty, catheterization, and artery bypass graft surgery. However, it is thought that reperfusion can itself further damage the ischemic tissue, causing MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY.
