Effect of EDTA with porous balloon on calcified lesion : An atherosclerotic cadaver study

© 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC..

BACKGROUND: Ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) is a chelating agent used to dissolve calcium deposits but evidence in decalcifying atherosclerotic lesions is limited.

AIMS: We assessed the feasibility and efficacy of EDTA delivered via porous balloon to target calcified lesions in cadaveric below-the-knee (BTK) arteries.

METHODS: Using porcine carotid arteries, EDTA concentration was measured in the arterial wall and outside the artery at the 0-, 0.5-, 4-, and 24-h circulation after the injection through a porous balloon. In cadaver BTK samples, the proximal and distal anterior tibial artery (ATA) and distal posterior tibial artery (PTA) were studied. EDTA-2Na/H2O or EDTA-3Na/H2O were administrated using a porous balloon, then circulated for 6 h for EDTA-3Na/H2O and 24 h for EDTA-2Na/H2O and EDTA-3Na/H2O. Micro-CT imaging of the artery segments before and after the circulation and cross-sectional analyses were performed to evaluate calcium burden.

RESULTS: In the porcine carotid study, EDTA was delivered through a porous balloon present in the arterial wall and was retained there for 24 h. In BTK arteries, cross-sectional analyses of micro-CT revealed a significant decrease in the calcium area in the distal ATA segment under 24-h circulation with EDTA-2Na/H2O and in the distal ATA segment under 24-h circulation with EDTA-3Na/H2O. The proximal ATA segment under 6-h circulation with EDTA-3Na/H2O showed no significant change in any parameters of calcium CONCLUSION: EDTA-3Na/H2O or EDTA-2Na/H2O with longer circulation times resulted in greater calcium reduction in atherosclerotic lesion. EDTA may have a potential therapeutic option for the treatment of atherosclerotic calcified lesions.
