BACKGROUND: The potent vasodilators nicardipine and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) are useful for the treatment of systemic hypertension or pulmonary hypertension during aortic surgery.METHODS: We measured cerebral pial arteriolar diameters, using a rabbit closed cranial window preparation: before (baseline) and 15 min after the start of an IV infusion (preclamp) (0.9% saline [control group], nicardipine [at 0.1, 1.0, or 10 mu g (.) kg(-1) (.) min(-1)], or PGE1 [at 0.1 or 1.0 mu g (.) kg(-1) (.) min(-1)]), just after aortic clamping, 20 min after clamping, and at 0-60 min after unclamping.RESULTS: In the control group, a significant decrease in diameter persisted for at least 60 min after unclamping (maximum [at 60 min], -16% for large [>= 75 mu m], and -27% for small [< 75 mu m] arterioles versus baseline). Although the aortic unclamping-induced vasoconstriction was unaffected under the smallest dose of nicardipine, it was significantly attenuated under larger doses in both large and small arterioles (residual vasoconstriction, -10% and -6% for large and -18% and -10% for small arterioles; at 60 min). The pial arteriolar constriction observed at 5 min or more after unclamping in the control group was not altered by PGE1 in either large or small arterioles.CONCLUSIONS: The larger doses of nicardipine, but neither dose of PGE1, attenuated aortic unclamping-induced sustained cerebral pial arteriolar constriction.
