Abstract

The putative features of the (endo)vascular photothermal response, characterized by laser-induced thermal denaturation of blood and vessel wall constituents, have been elucidated individually, but not simultaneously in dynamic, isolated in vivo systems. A hamster dorsal skin fold model in combination with brightfield/fluorescence intravital microscopy was used to examine the effect of laser pulse duration and blood flow velocity on the size of the thermal coagulum, its attachment behavior, and laser-mediated vasomotion. The size of the coagulum and the extent of vasoconstriction and latent vasodilation were proportional to the laser pulse duration, but pulse duration had no effect on coagulum attachment/dislodgement. Blood flow velocity exhibited no significant effect on the studied parameters. The (endo)vascular photothermal response is governed predominantly by laser energy deposition and to a marginal extent by blood flow velocity.

(a) Experimental setup consisting of a modified intravital fluorescence microscope with mercury lamp epi- and transillumination. Labels (b) and (c) correspond to the respective panels. (b) Left-hand side: mercury lamp epi-illumination (blue beam) was filtered (λex = 560 ± 20 nm) and reflected towards the dorsal skin fold (yellow beam). The emitted light (orange beam) passed through a dichroic mirror (λcutoff = 595 nm) and emission filter (λem = 630 ± 25 nm) and was captured by the CCD video camera. Right-hand side: mercury lamp transillumination (blue beam) enhanced contrast as a result of differences in transmission spectra of thermal coagula, undamaged blood, and (peri)vascular tissue in the wavelength range of the emission filter. (c) The animal was secured to the microscope platform by the implanted optical chamber. The fiber guiding the light from the external mercury lamp was affixed in front of a reflective mirror that was mounted under the dorsal skin flap at a 45° angle with respect to the optical chamber. The 532 nm laser light was focused into the vessel lumen via a mirror in the probe.

Blood flow velocity (BFV) distribution of the irradiated venules, measured prior to laser irradiation. BFV category 0.1 corresponds to a BFV range of 0.05 ≤ BFV < 0.15 mm/s; BFV category 0.2 corresponds to a range of 0.15 ≤ BFV < 0.25 mm/s; etc. The color of the bars indicates the grouping of BFVs for the quantification of coagulum size, coagulum attachment/detachment, vasoconstriction, and latent vasodilation.

Laser-induced coagulum size plotted as a function of blood flow velocity (BFV) and laser pulse duration (LPD). The mean coagulum sizes exhibit an increasing trend with longer LPDs, but seem to be independent of BFV.

(2.7 MB) Movie: Laser pulse duration-dependent thermal coagulum size (10.0 MB version). Thermal coagulum size induced by 30 ms irradiation (a) (4.6 × 103 μm2) was significantly smaller than the coagulum size induced by 150 ms irradiation (b) (10.4 × 103 μm2). Scale bar = 100 μm.

(2.8 MB) Movie: Randomness of coagulum attachment and dislodgement (13.6 MB version). In the first example (a) a coagulum (6.5 × 103 μm2) induced by a 30 ms laser pulse attaches at 0.5 mm/s blood flow velocity (BFV), whereas in (b) a coagulum (16.9 × 103 μm2) produced by a 120 ms pulse dislodges at a 0.2 mm/s BFV. Scale bar = 100 μm.

Mean normalized vessel diameters before irradiation and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 min after irradiation for the 30 and 150 ms laser pulse duration (LPD) groups. Blood flow velocity (BFV) data is discounted since no correlation was found between vasoconstriction and latent vasodilation as a function of BFV. The normalized vessel diameters measured directly after irradiation decreased with longer LPDs. Within 5 min post-irradiation, vessel diameters expanded over time for each LPD group; the rate of expansion was positively correlated to the degree of laser-induced vasoconstriction (Fig. 9).

(2.9 MB) Movie: Laser-induced axial vasoconstriction (15.1 MB version). Two microspheres that are attached to the vessel wall ((a), arrow) are ‘pulled’ towards the irradiation site during the 150 ms laser pulse, demonstrating that vasoconstriction also occurs along the longitudinal axis ((b), arrows, indicating pre- (grey) and post-irradiation (black) microsphere positions).

(2.9 MB) Movie: Laser-induced vasoconstriction and latent vasodilation (8.5 MB version). Vessel diameter measurements were performed prior to irradiation, directly after the laser pulse, and every min up to 5 min post-irradiation. During a 30 ms laser pulse, the vessel constricts from 150 μm to 51 μm ((a), arrow) and then dilates during a period of 5 min to a diameter of 62 μm ((b), arrow). Scale bar = 100 μm.

Mean rate of latent vasodilation expressed as a percentage, plotted as a function of time (min) after laser irradiation. For the calculation of the mean latent vasodilation, the pulse durations (30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 ms) were grouped per time interval. The rate of vasodilation was calculated as [(Ø t - Ø t-1 ) / Ø t ], where Ø is the vessel diameter and t is time (min) after laser irradiation, and expressed as a percentage.

(2.0 MB) Movie: Altered hemodynamics during laser irradiation (14.2 MB version). Microspheres flowing downstream of the irradiation site accelerate during the laser pulse ((a), arrow). Directly after laser irradiation, stasis of microspheres coincides with cessation of blood flow (b). After a few seconds, the attached coagulum dislodges and blood flow is restored. Scale bar = 100 μm.
