This study was designed to assess the release kinetics of endothelin after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and to prove the coronary endothelium as the source of the endothelin release. Twenty-seven patients with single-vessel coronary artery disease underwent PTCA. Endothelin, troponin T, myoglobin, and creatine phosphokinase paired blood samples were withdrawn from the coronary sinus and a peripheral vein before the balloon maneuver and at 1, 5, 10, 30, 45 minute(s), and at 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hour(s) after the last balloon maneuver. Myocardial ischemia was monitored by means of cardiac lactate metabolism and 12-lead electrocardiogram. Thirteen patients who underwent a diagnostic cardiac catheterization served as a control group. In the left coronary artery, PTCA (n = 19) endothelin concentrations increased from 4.1 pg/ml as a common mean baseline level before intervention to 13.9 +/- 2.6 pg/ml (mean +/- SD) in the coronary sinus and 7.9 +/- 2.2 pg/ml (mean +/- SD) in the peripheral vein at 1 minute after the intervention (p <0.001). The levels remained elevated for 3 hours with higher coronary sinus than peripheral venous concentrations due to persistent cardiac endothelin release. PTCA of the right coronary artery (n = 8) also led to an instantaneous endothelin increase from a mean concentration of 4.4 before intervention to 8.3 pg/ml after intervention with identical coronary sinus and peripheral venous levels (p <0.001). Endothelin levels gradually decreased to normal within 6 hours. No patient developed a measurable myocardial ischemia or a myocardial infarction. In the control group all parameters remained unchanged. Uncomplicated PTCA was followed by a significant cardiac endothelin release that seems to indicate endothelial injury and not myocardial ischemia.
