Özet
Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of vitamin E in the protection of the lung from potential ischemia-reperfusion injury during elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Material and Methods: This controlled randomized single-center study included patients who underwent elective coronary bypass grafting (CABG) operation. Forty-nine patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. Water soluble Vitamin E (100 mg) in tepid saline (n=25) or tepid saline alone (n=24) was administered via the jugular vein before the aortic cross clamping. Serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels and serum malonedialdehyde levels (MDA) were measured. Pulmonary biopsies were obtained before the aortic cross clamping and 60 minutes after removing the cross clamp. Biopsies were examined histopathologically under electron microscopy. Results: Serum MDA levels at T1 (15 minutes after removal of the cross clamp) and T2 (30 minutes after removal of the cross clamp) were higher in the control group compared to the Vitamin group. Serum TAC levels at T1, T2 and T3 (60 minutes after removal of the cross clamp) were higher in the Vitamin E group compared to the control group. Histopathologic injury grade was lower in the Vitamin E group than in the control group. Conclusion: Vitamin E was found to be protective against reperfusion induced oxidative injury in the early operative period. © 2013 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
