Summary

Microsurgical sidewall aneurysms in rats are created by end-to-side anastomosis of an aortic graft to the abdominal aorta. We present step-by-step instructions and discuss anatomical and surgical details for successful experimental saccular aneurysm creation.

Abstract

实验囊状动脉瘤模型所必需的试验新型手术和腔内治疗方案和设备之前,它们被引入到临床实践。此外,需要实验模型以阐明复杂动脉瘤生物学导致破裂囊状动脉瘤的。

几种不同类型的实验模型的囊状动脉瘤都建立了不同的物种。他们中的许多,但是,需要特殊的技能,昂贵的设备,或特殊的环境中,这限制了它们的广泛使用。一个简单的,强大的,廉价的实验模型是需要的,可以在各种机构的标准化方式使用标准化的工具。

显微大鼠腹主动脉旁瘤模型结合来研究这两个新的腔内治疗策略和动脉瘤生物学在一个标准化的和廉价的分子基础的可能性的方式。标准化的移植物由形状,大小和几何形状的装置被从供体大鼠的胸降主动脉收获,然后移植到同系受体鼠。动脉瘤是缝合的端至端具有连续或间断的9-0尼龙缝线的下腹主动脉。

我们目前对必要的设备一步一步的程序指令,信息,讨论重要的解剖和手术细节在大鼠腹主动脉旁瘤的显微外科成功创建。

Introduction

囊状动脉瘤破裂引起危及生命的出血导致中风,永久性的神经损伤,甚至死亡。破裂可以通过显微外科夹闭或血管内动脉瘤栓塞预防。一种医疗治疗,以防止动脉瘤的生长和破裂尚未确立。

需要为囊状动脉瘤的实验模型,研究动脉瘤并为新的治疗设备和策略,测试生物。为了这些目的,在不同物种的几个不同的模型已经开发和发布1。在猪,狗,兔较大动脉瘤模型,优选使用在复杂的动脉瘤架构1,2测试腔内的创新。鼠动脉瘤模型,另一方面,允许在转基因物种3,4测试研究问题,并促进澄清瘤生物学中的细胞和分子水平远远大于1种更好。虽然血管内反式颈动脉和反式髂设备部署仅限于大鼠(> 400-500克)和支架小于2.0毫米和1.5毫米的直径5,6,支架也可以通过直接插入置于腹主动脉段窝藏实验动脉瘤。使用大鼠显微腹主动脉侧壁动脉瘤模型先前的工作证明了其在测试新的栓塞装置的可行性和其在研究动脉瘤生物学3,7的分子基础使用。

很多目前公布的实验囊状动脉瘤模型需要昂贵的设备,特殊环境( 无菌手术室用透视功能),介入放射学的能力,或使用昂贵的品种。这些要求限制的广泛使用这些模式,并且导致在不同的实验室,这米使用不同的模型碟刹的数据比较和汇总分析困难的,如果不是不可能的。一个简单的,坚固的,并且便宜的实验模型是必要的,可用于在各种实验室标准化的方式,以获得来自不同机构的比较的结果,一个标准化的工具。为此,我们建立了大鼠主动脉壁囊状动脉瘤模型。

本报告的目的是介绍一步一步的过程说明,关于必要的设备,并讨论了在大鼠腹主动脉旁瘤显微外科成功创造重要的解剖及手术特点。

Protocol

注:雄性Wistar大鼠(平均体重:356±44克; 10-14周龄)被安置在动物房在22-24°C和12小时光/暗周期可免费使用颗粒饲料,普通自来水并且还获得了人文关怀,符合机构的指导方针。实验进行了审查和批准委员会动物福利在芬兰赫尔辛基大学。 注意:在下面的演示我们的手术方法如下:麻醉大鼠重量适应皮下注射盐酸美托咪定(0.5毫克/千克)和腹腔注射盐酸氯胺酮(50毫克/千克)…

Representative Results

飞行员系列包括14只。随后,共84动物根据协议提出的三月和九月之间的几个研究项目2012年增加29个动物作为供体的囊状动脉移植手术了。剩余的实验使用收获并从用大鼠同性别,应变,体重和年龄的先前实验中存储经预处理的移植物进行的。 体重,总体运行时间,主动脉阻断时间,时间吻合的创作,时间以止血吻合的创建,接枝缺血时间后,与动脉瘤的尺寸,在创建时(动?…

Discussion

在我们的囊状动脉瘤的复杂生物学的理解进展取决于流行病学和临床资料,在动物模型3,12,13辅以实验室检查对患者样本和实验工作分析。

小的动物,如大鼠本质上是与实验和壳体较低的成本相关联,并且减少需要专门的设备。的时间少于60分钟的大鼠的侧壁动脉瘤的显微创建的平均总操作时间比用于创建在兔子和狗2,14,15更复杂的显微静脉袋动脉分叉部动脉瘤…
