Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Collateral circulation is when an area of tissue or an organ has a number of different pathways for blood to reach it. This is often as a result of Circulatory anastomosis anastamoses branches formed between adjacent blood vessels. An example of the usefulness of collateral circulation is a systemic thrombo embolism in cats. This is when a thrombus lodges above the external iliac artery Common Iliac Artery , blocking the external and internal iliac arteries and effectively shutting off all blood supply to the hind leg. Even though the main vessels to the leg are blocked, enough blood can get to the tissues in the leg via the collateral circulation in order to keep them alive.

Consequences Main Asplenia Absence of effective splenic function asplenia is associated with increased risks of overwhelming post splenectomy infection , especially by encapsulated organisms. Protocols involving vaccination and Prophylaxis prophylactic antibiotics can reduce these risks. Diseases that cause autosplenectomy Sickle cell anemia Sickle cell anemia causes autosplenism by causing hypoxia and infarcts in the spleen. Since in the spleen blood flow is sluggish, the oxygen tension is low. When red blood cells with hemogblobin S are exposed to this low oxygen tension they tend to aggregate and polymerize. Sickled cells also express more adhesion molecules and appear more sticky. The sickle cells arrest in the hypoxic vascular bed in the spleen, resulting in a vicious cycle decrease in O2, sickling and vascular obstruction from thrombus formation. Initially the spleen is enlarged, then progressively becomes smaller. The stasis of flow in the spleen causes hypoxic damage, thrombosis, infarction and fibrosis.

Thrombosis is a medical term for blood clotting Haemostasis occurring in the wrong place, i.e. a thrombus forming on the inside wall of a blood vessel. Classification Superficial venous thromboses can cause discomfort but generally do not cause serious consequences, unlike the deep venous thrombosis deep venous thromboses DVTs that form in the deep veins of the legs or in the pelvic veins. Since the veins return blood to the heart , if a piece of a blood clot formed in a vein breaks off it can be transported to the right side of the heart, and from there into the lung s. A piece of thrombus that is transported in this way is an embolism the process of forming a thrombus that becomes embolic is called a thromboembolism . An embolism that lodges in the lungs is a pulmonary embolism PE . A pulmonary embolus is a very serious condition that can be fatal if not recognized and treated promptly. Systemic embolisms of venous origin can occur in patients with an Atrial septal defect atrial or ventricular septal defect , through which an embolus may pass into the arterial system.

Tenecteplase is a tissue plasminogen activator tPA produced by recombinant DNA technology using an established mammalian cell line Chinese hamster ovary cells . Tenecteplase is a 527 amino acid glycoprotein developed by introducing the following modifications to the complementary DNA cDNA for natural human tPA a substitution of threonine 103 with asparagine, and a substitution of asparagine 117 with glutamine, both within the kringle 1 domain, and a tetra alanine substitution at amino acids 296 299 in the protease domain. Tenecteplase is a recombinant fibrin specific plasminogen activator that is derived from native t PA by modifications at three sites of the protein structure. It binds to the fibrin component of the thrombus blood clot and selectively converts thrombus bound plasminogen to plasmin, which degrades the fibrin matrix of the thrombus. Tenecteplase has a higher fibrin specificity and greater resistance to inactivation by its endogenous inhibitor PAI 1 compared to native t PA. Tenecteplase is indicated in thrombolytic treatment of the acute phase of myocardial infarction AMI for reduction of mortality associated with AMI. Treatment should be initiated as soon as possible after the onset of AMI symptoms.
