| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: As an important prognostic factor of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), graft vasospasm can be observed in all currently used graft conduits. Radial artery (RA) vasospasm is more prone to occur in comparisons with internal mammary artery (IMA) and great saphenous vein (GSV). There is still controversy about which antispasmodic agent is superior to different grafts, especially to RA conduits. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the relaxation response of four topical vasodilators to different in vitro grafts and how these vasodilators affect the blood flow of the vessel in situ during RA harvesting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Vasodilatory properties of diltiazem, nitroglycerin, urapidil and nicorandil were compared in matched patient-specific segments of RA, IMA and GSV harvested from 12 patients. The vasodilatory response of the RA to intraradial administration of nitroglycerin, diltiazem and urapidil was compared in vivo (n=10 per group) by assessing the free blood flow of RA. RESULTS: (1) The maximal relaxations occurring with urapidil, nitroglycerin and nicorandil in IMA, RA and SGV were significantly greater than that with diltiazem. The reactivity of all three graft conduits showed similar relaxation with nitroglycerin or with diltiazem, but the relaxation with urapidil in RA showed greater than that of IMA and GSV, and RA and GSV showed greater relaxation with nicorandil than IMA. (2) A dose of 10(-5)mol/l of nitroglycerin, urapidil and nicorandil but not diltiazem significantly inhibited the RA response to PE. (3) In vivo, urapidil and nitroglycerin significantly increased the RA blood flow, the potency of which was greater than that caused by diltiazem. CONCLUSIONS: (1) Comparing with nicorandil, urapidil and diltiazem, nitroglycerin caused a significant relaxation in all three graft vessels tested. (2) Nitroglycerin, nicorandil and urapidil were more effective in preventing RA spasm than diltiazem. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
