Abstract
- OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we aimed to deterimine the dose-related effects of ticagrelor, the first reversible inhibitor of the P2Y(12) receptor, found in smooth muscle cells as well as platelets, during neointimal hyperplasia in a rabbit carotid anastomosis model. METHODS: This study was an experimental, prospective, randomized controlled study including 20 New Zealand white female rabbits (6-months old; weighing 2300 +/- 300 g). Under general anaesthesia, the rabbits underwent transection of the right carotid artery and subsequent anastomosis of both ends. The study animals were divided into the following 4 groups: T1 (ticagrelor 5 mg/kg, orally, daily), T2 (ticagrelor 10 mg/kg, orally, daily), T3 (ticagrelor 20 mg/kg, orally, daily) and control (no ticagrelor treatment). The single oral doses were administered in phosphate-buffered saline. The control group received sterile phosphate-buffered saline (2 ml/kg/day, orally) for 3 weeks postoperatively. At the end of the study, the animals were killed, and the anastomosed segment of the right carotid artery and part of the left carotid artery were excised from each animal. Antibodies against transforming growth factor-beta were used in staining of arterial sections, which was followed by histomorphological and immunohistochemical studies. RESULTS: The median intimal thickness (2.0 +/- 0.14 m left vs 73.4 +/- 35.8 m anastomosed right arteries; P
