Treatment with the hyaluronan-degrading enzyme, hyaluronidase, reduces rejection-induced interstitial edema of transplanted organs. Hyaluronidase has also been demonstrated to reduce tissue necrosis after experimentally induced myocardial infarction, but its clinical use has been limited by an observed interaction between heparin and hyaluronan. In the present work, we investigated whether it is also possible to retain the effect of the enzyme in heparinized animals.
