This study was performed to measure the effects of sustained coronary flow reduction on lung lymph flow and protein clearance at normal and elevated lung microvascular pressures. Eleven halothane-anesthetized sheep were provided with lung lymph and carotid-to-left-anterior-descending coronary artery cannulas. Six sheep (ischemic group) were observed in a protocol of five periods, each of 2 hr duration: baseline, left atrial pressure (PLA) increased by mitral valve obstruction, return to baseline, reduced coronary flow, and reduced coronary flow plus increased PLA. Five sheep (control group) were studied in an identical protocol except that coronary flow was not reduced. PLAS were equal in the second and fifth periods. Lung lymph flow QL and protein clearance (QL times the lymph-to-plasma protein concentration ratio) normalized to second baseline were greater during ischemia than in the comparable control period, and clearance was also greater during the second increased-pressure period. We conclude that reduced coronary flow is related to sustained, significant increases in lung vascular transport at elevated as well as at normal vascular pressures.
