Pericardial adhesions pose a major problem during re-operative cardiac surgical procedures. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Batroxobin, a fibrinogen depleting agent, on the incidence of experimental pericardial adhesions. Twenty-four rabbits were divided into 3 groups of 8 rabbits each and pericardial mesothelial injury was induced by abrasion. Group A included rabbits receiving no further treatment, Group B included rabbits receiving intrapericardial injection of Ringer's solution, and Group C included rabbits receiving intrapericardial injection of Batroxobin. Three weeks after surgery, the incidence of adhesions in Groups B and C was compared with that in Group A. Pericardial adhesions found in 80% of the rabbits in Groups A and B. However, only 14% of the rabbits in Group C had pericardial adhesions (p < 0.05). Our findings demonstrated that intrapericardial Batroxobin reduced the incidence of pericardial adhesions in an animal model.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010496 Pericardium A conical fibro-serous sac surrounding the HEART and the roots of the great vessels (AORTA; VENAE CAVAE; PULMONARY ARTERY). Pericardium consists of two sacs: the outer fibrous pericardium and the inner serous pericardium. The latter consists of an outer parietal layer facing the fibrous pericardium, and an inner visceral layer (epicardium) resting next to the heart, and a pericardial cavity between these two layers.

D012103 Batroxobin A proteolytic enzyme obtained from the venom of fer-de-lance (BOTHROPS ATROX). It is used as a plasma clotting agent for fibrinogen and for the detection of fibrinogen degradation products. The presence of heparin does not interfere with the clotting test. Hemocoagulase is a mixture containing batroxobin and factor X activator. EC 3.4.21.-. Defibrol,Hemocoagulase,Defibrase,Reptilase,Reptilase-DEF,Reptilase DEF

D016009 Chi-Square Distribution A distribution in which a variable is distributed like the sum of the squares of any given independent random variable, each of which has a normal distribution with mean of zero and variance of one. The chi-square test is a statistical test based on comparison of a test statistic to a chi-square distribution. The oldest of these tests are used to detect whether two or more population distributions differ from one another.
