Perfluoropropane-Albumin Microsphere Injection
Clinical Value
The ultrasound contrast agent (UCA) plays an important role in clinical
diagnosis, treatment and clinical research. The internationally approved
echocardiographic contrast agents are used for same clinical
indications: patients with poor left ventricular opacification (LVO) and
left ventricular endocardial border delineation (EBD) in routine
echocardiography in the resting state.
American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines recommend: if
imaging quality of the heart is poor in at least two out of the six
stages, ultrasonic contrast should be applied to enhance the image
quality.
Application of contrast agent in LVO enhances the possibility, accuracy
and repeatability of qualitative and quantitative echocardiographic
assessments of left ventricular structure and function in the resting
state, or during exercise or pharmacological stress, making it easier
for the diagnosis or assessment of intracardiac space occupying lesion,
such as tumors and thrombus. Meanwhile, it improves the visibility of
right ventricle and large vessels and reinforces the Doppler signal
which is used to assess valve function. The UCA can also be used for
echocardiographic study in emergency rooms, intensive care units,
cardiac catheterization rooms and operation rooms. The effective
application of contrast agent in echocardiography will optimize and
improve the cost-effectiveness of examination and may help improve
clinical outcomes.
In recent years, great progress has been made in the application of
Perfluoropropane-Albumin Microsphere Injection for myocardial blush
grades and ultrasonography of parenchymatous organs, such as liver,
kidneys, mammary glands and pancreatic gland. Clinicians have
established a complete set of methods to qualitatively identify various
masses in parenchymatous organs with Perfluoropropane-Albumin
Microsphere Injection.
Accurate assessment of ventricular wall motion and wall thickness ratio;
Correct measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction;
Clear diagnosis of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy;
Clear diagnosis of intracardiac mural thrombus;
Potential real-time evaluation of the value of myocardial perfusion;
Clinical Outcomes
Clinical experiments in seven hospitals, including Zhongshan Hospital
under Fudan University, Rui Jin Hospital under Shanghai Jiao Tong
University School of Medicine, Changhai Hospital of Shanghai, Chinese
PLA General Hospital, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Qilu
Hospital of Shandong University and Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, prove
that 98.6% of intima imaging quality has been enhanced and the
identification of left ventricular endocardial border has been
significantly improved. In the meanwhile, the application of
Perfluoropropane-Albumin Microsphere Injection does not affect the
function of liver or kidneys, or the results of blood and urine routine
examinations and electrocardiogram (ECG) results. Therefore, it is a
safe and effective cardiac ultrasound contrast agent, suitable for
patients with poor imaging quality in routine echocardiography, and can
be promoted for extensive clinical use.

strengthen the acoustic reflection signal in ultrasound diagnostic
instrument. After peripheral intravenous injection, it can enhance the
left cardiac ultrasound contrast effect without causing adverse effect
on hemodynamics or electrocardiogram.
[Pharmacokinetics] Pharmacokinetics study on this product has not been
conducted. The following kinetic data are obtained from using the same
type of Perfluoropropane-Albumin Microsphere Injection in Chinese
patients. After intravenous administration, perfluoropropane will be
immediately released and exhaled out of the human body. When the dosages
of administration reaches 0.02ml/kg, 0.03ml/kg and 0.04ml/kg,
respectively, Tmzx of perfluoropropane in breath is 0.42±0.14 (min),
0.39±0.13 (min) and 0.44±0.17 (min), respectively; T1/2 is 1.84±0.2
(min), 1.95±0.73 (min) and 2.22±0.53 (min). The call-out volume of
perfluoropropane in one minute after the administration (AUCO-1min)
accounts for 0.49 (49%)±0.02 (2%) of the total call-out volume (AUCO-∞)
on average. The call-out volume of perfluoropropane in 15 minute after
administration accounts for 0.96 (96%)±0.02 (2%) of the total (AUCO-∞).
