Reperfusion injury remains a limiting factor in extending ischemic storage time for human heart transplantation. In this study, initial myocardial reperfusion with an oxygenated perfluorochemical (Fluosol) was investigated as a means of limiting such injury. Neonatal piglet hearts were arrested with crystalloid cardioplegia, excised, and stored for 12 hours in saline solution at 0 degrees C. Initial reperfusion (10 minutes) was either with whole blood (n = 6), unmodified perfluorochemical (n = 8), or aspartate/glutamate-enriched perfluorochemical cardioplegia (n = 6), and was followed by an additional 40 minutes of whole blood perfusion. Functional evaluation was then completed, and left ventricular biopsy specimens were taken. A control group (n = 7) was evaluated without an intervening period of ischemia. At a left ventricular end-diastolic pressure of 9 mm Hg, hearts stored in whole blood cardioplegia developed a left-ventricular stroke work index of 3.8 +/- 2.3 x 10(3) erg/g (mean +/- standard error of the mean). Under the same conditions, perfluorochemical-reperfused hearts achieved a stroke work index of 14.6 +/- 1.3 x 10(3) erg/g, significantly greater than that of the whole blood group (p < 0.001). Stroke work index for hearts reperfused with aspartate/glutamate-enriched perfluorochemical cardioplegia was 19.8 +/- 1.6 x 10(3) erg/g, significantly increased over that of the nonenriched perfluorochemical group (p < 0.01) and not different from values obtained in controls (19.2 +/- 0.8 x 10(3) erg/g).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D005466 Fluorocarbons Liquid perfluorinated carbon compounds which may or may not contain a hetero atom such as nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, but do not contain another halogen or hydrogen atom. This concept includes fluorocarbon emulsions, and fluorocarbon blood substitutes. Perfluorinated and related polyfluorinated chemicals are referred to as PFAS and are defined as chemicals with at least two adjacent carbon atoms, where one carbon is fully fluorinated and the other is at least partially fluorinated.
