The role of leukocyte and endothelial adhesion molecules in ischemia-reperfusion injury

R R Thiagarajan et al. Thromb Haemost. 1997 Jul.

Abstract

Reperfusion of ischemic tissue is associated with an acute inflammatory response that may further exacerbate vascular and tissue damage. Compelling evidence from a variety of animal models indicates that neutrophils are the principle effector cells of the reperfusion injury and that blockade of neutrophil adhesion to endothelium attenuates ischemia-reperfusion injury. "Anti-adhesion" therapy may represent a new approach to treatment of the many diverse clinical disorders in which ischemia-reperfusion occurs.
