Using of trimetazidine in percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary artery bypass grafting

Trimetazidine is a selective inhibitor of 3-ketoacyl-coenzyme A-thiolase. After its administration during hypoxia β-oxidation of free fatty

acid is blocked with metabolic switch in favour of glucose oxidation. During glucose oxidation less oxygen is consumed for production

of one molecule of adenosine triphosphate. As a result, the cell acidosis and its consequences are attenuated. Studies with trimetazidine

during revascularization procedures, which support the favourable effect of trimetazidine on severity of ischemia, myocardial necrosis

and ischemic-reperfusion injury, are reviewed in this article.

Keywords: trimetazidine, percutaneous coronary intervention, aorto-coronary bypass, ischemia, ischemic-reperfusion injury
