Introduction. For chronic, repeat hemodynamic studies in conscious dogs, we designed and tested a chronically instrumented canine microsphere delivery model. The goals of this study were (1) to investigate the accuracy of repeated estimations of blood perfusion using fluorescent-labeled microspheres and (2) to develop and validate a chronic preparation that permits consecutive estimations in the same conscious animal over an extended protocol. Methods. Via thoracotomy, nine dogs were instrumented with left atrial appendage and aortic vascular access catheters connected to subcutaneous vascular access ports. Four animals received seven serial injections of 1.6 million 15 gm microspheres (total: 11.2 million), and five animals received 8 serial injections of 2.25 million microspheres (total: 18 million) over the course of 11 or 18 wk. Results. All catheters have remained bidirectionally patent during protocol for 14.9 +/- 0.8 (mean +/- SEM) wk. Sphere accumulation did not significantly alter global myocardial (P = 0.69, P = 0.25), renal (P = 0.92, P = 0.12), hepatic (P = 0.84, P = 0.32), or splenic (P = 0.33, P = 0.70) blood perfusion in either set of animals. Conclusions. Catheters remained bidirectionally patent for months, did not interfere with the hemodynamic responses of the preparation, and allowed repeat percutaneous injection of microspheres and withdrawal of reference arterial blood from within conscious canines. Eight serial injections totaling 18 million microspheres over 18 weeks did not alter regional myocardial, hepatic, renal, or splenic blood flow. This dependable, chronic, percutaneous arterial access preparation provides a means for examining acute and long-term effects of pathophysiological, pharmaceutical, and environmental influences on regional arterial blood flow in conscious, large animals.
