The effects of hypotension induced by adenosine on myocardial metabolism were studied in ten mongrel dogs anesthetized with 0.5% isoflurane. Adenosine was infused intravenously to reduce mean arterial blood pressure by approximately 30% during a period of 20 min. Although heart rate was unchanged, cardiac output increased and coronary blood flow increased 3-fold of the preinfusion value. Oxygen tension of the myocardium, and oxygen extraction as well as lactate extraction of the myocardium decreased. Myocardial oxygen uptake and myocardial lactate uptake were unchanged, but lactate production was observed in three of ten dogs. In addition, coronary venous lactate/pyruvate ratio and excess lactate increased, and excess lactate became positive in five of ten dogs. The results suggest that adenosine-induced hypotension may inhibit the myocardial aerobic metabolism.

Some non-adenosinergic drugs are reported to also act through adenosine receptors (ARs). We used mouse hypothermia, which can be induced by agonism at any of the four ARs, as an in vivo screen for adenosinergic effects. An AR contribution was identified when a drug caused hypothermia in wild type mice that was diminished in mice lacking all four ARs (quadruple knockout, QKO).

Due to advances in interventional techniques, the transvenous approach may present an effective treatment option for embolization of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Contrary to the transarterial method, the transvenous approach can only be utilized in a specific subset of patients and is not suitable as a standard procedure for all AVM lesions. While this technique can be helpful in certain patients, careful patient selection to ensure patient safety and favorable clinical outcomes is important.

Background: Internal carotid artery (ICA) injuries represent a rare, potentially fatal complication of endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (EESBS). The use of adenosine to induce transient hypotension and facilitate management of high-flow, high-pressure arterial lesions has been well-documented in neuro-endovascular literature. A similar setting in which adenosine-induced hypotension may prove beneficial is during the management of major vascular injury encountered during EESBS.

Background: Intraoperative rupture of an intracranial aneurysm is a life-threatening situation that carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Since 2000, adenosine has been used successfully to induce transient hypotension and/or asystole to control bleeding and facilitate surgical clipping of aneurysms that rupture intraoperatively. Given the paucity of reports describing this method in a limited number of patients, we performed a systematic review of the literature detailing the use and outcomes of this technique.

Background: This study evaluated whether caffeine abstention is required before fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement by intravenous adenosine triphosphate (ATP) administration in Japanese patients.
Methods: This study was a subanalysis of a previously published study and a total of 208 intermediate lesions that underwent FFR measurements were enrolled for this analysis. Hyperemia was induced by continuous intravenous ATP infusion at 150 μg/kg/min (IVATP150) and 210 μg/kg/min (IVATP210), and by intracoronary administration of nicorandil 2 mg (ICNIC2mg) as a reference standard.
