Purpose: Our aim was to study the effect of chronic ischemia on bladder contraction and detrusor smooth muscle reactivity. The relationship between structural damage and functional changes in the chronically ischemic bladder was also investigated.Material and Methods: Male New Zealand White rabbits were divided into arterial injury (AI), hypercholesterolemia (Hch) and control groups. The AI group (n = 18) underwent balloon endothelial injury of the iliac arteries and received a 0.5% cholesterol diet. The Hch group (n = 8) received a 0.5% cholesterol diet alone. The control group (n = 8) received a regular diet. After 16 weeks, iliac artery and bladder wall blood flows were recorded. Cystometrograms and arteriography were obtained and bladder tissues were processed for isometric tension measurement in the organ bath and for histological evaluation.Results: At 16 weeks, blood flow through the iliac arteries was significantly reduced in the Al group compared with the Hch and control groups. In the Al group, 8 animals developed severe bladder ischemia (SBI) defined as greater than 60% decrease in bladder blood flow, 7 animals developed moderate bladder ischemia (MBI) defined as 40 to 60% decrease in bladder blood flow, and 3 animals failed to develop significant bladder ischemia (
