Long-pulsed ultrasound-mediated microbubble thrombolysis in a rat model of microvascular obstruction

Abstract: In up to 30% patients who experience acute myocardial infarction, successful recanalization of the epicardial coronary artery cannot provide adequate microvascular reperfusion. In this study, we sought to determine whether long-pulsed ultrasound (US)-mediated microbubble (MB) cavitation was useful for the treatment of microvascular obstruction, and the therapeutic effects were compared within different long-pulse-length and short-pulsed US. Microvascular obstruction model was established by injecting micro-thrombi into common iliac artery of a rat’s hind limb. About 1 MHz US with different long pulse lengths (ranging from 100 to 50,000 cycles) was delivered, compared to short pulse (5 cycles). The control group was given MB only without therapeutic US. Contrast perfusion images were performed at baseline, emboli, and 1, 5, 10 min post-embolization, and peak plateau video intensity (A) was obtained to evaluate the therapeutic effects. Long-tone-burst US showed better thrombolytic effects than short-pulsed US (1,000, 5,000 cycles >500 cycles, >5 cycles, and control) (P < 0.01). 1,000 cycles group showed the optimal thrombolytic effect, but microvascular hemorrhage was observed in 50,000 cycles group. In conclusion, long-tone-burst US-enhanced MB therapy mediated successful thrombolysis and may offer a powerful approach for the treatment for microvascular obstruction within a certain pulse length.
