Modelo animal ex vivo para vertebroplastia percutânea

Abstract

O teste de novos biomateriais para vertebroplastia percutânea (VP), depende da escolha de um modelo animal adequado. O objectivo deste estudo foi o desenvolvimento ex vivo de um modelo animal reprodutível e fiável para VP, para posterior aplicação in vivo, tendo em consideração a necessidade de evitar o derrame de cimento para o canal vertebral e estruturas vasculares adjacentes. Foi seleccionado um modelo animal superior (ovino), pelas suas reconhecidas propriedades translacionais para a espécie humana. Foram realizadas VP’s em vértebras lombares sob controlo táctil e fluoroscópico, através de uma abordagem parapedicular bilateral. O volume médio de defeito obtido foi 1234±240 mm3, o que assegura defeitos viáveis para o teste de novos biomateriais injectáveis. Seis vértebras foram injectadas com um cimento comercial (Cerament®, Bone Support, Suécia) tendo-se observado preenchimento adequado dos defeitos em todas as vértebras. Todas as vértebras foram avaliadas por microtomografia axial computorizada (microTAC) antes e após a criação dos defeitos e após injecção dos cimentos. Realizaram-se testes mecânicos de compressão, tendo as vértebras sido sujeitas a cargas superiores às fisiológicas e inspeccionadas macroscopicamente. Em conclusão considera-se este modelo adequado para estudos in vivo pré-clínicos, mimetizando aplicações clínicas.
