Abstract

BACKGROUND: Use of 5-aminolevulinic acid for photodynamic malignant tumor diagnosis reportedly causes intraoperative hypotension (systolic blood pressure < 70 mmHg) during urologic surgery. However, its association with intraoperative hypotension in malignant glioma surgery and underlying mechanisms has not yet been elucidated.. This study aimed to investigate whether 5-aminolevulinic acid administration is associated with intraoperative hypotension in malignant glioma surgery and explore the mechanisms of 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced hypotension in vitro.

METHODS: In this retrospective multicenter cohort study, we investigated intracellular nitric oxide as a candidate mediator of hypotension in response to 5-aminolevulinic acid in vitro in human umbilical vein endothelial cell cultures.

RESULTS: Of 142 patients, 94 underwent 5-aminolevulinic acid-guided surgery. Systolic blood pressure was significantly lower throughout surgery with 5-aminolevulinic acid administration. 5-Aminolevulinic acid administration was an independent risk factor for intraoperative hypotension according to multivariable logistic regression analysis (89% vs. 56%; odds ratio = 6.72, 95% confidence interval [2.05-22.1], P = 002). In subgroup analysis of the 5-aminolevulinic acid group, increasing age and use of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors had a synergistic effect with 5-aminolevulinic acid on decreased blood pressure. In the vascular endothelial cell culture study, 5-aminolevulinic acid induced a significant increase in intracellular nitric oxide generation.

CONCLUSIONS: 5-Aminolevulinic acid administration was associated with intraoperative hypotension in malignant glioma surgery, with increasing age and use of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors boosting the blood pressure-lowering effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid. According to in vitro results, the low blood pressure induced by 5-aminolevulinic acid may be mediated by a nitric oxide increase in vascular endothelial cells.
