Abstract To study the role of blood flow in normal and abnormal heart development, an embryonic chicken model was developed. The effect of altered venous inflow on normal intracardiac blood flow patterns was studied by visualization of blood flow with India ink. At stage 17, India ink was injected into a capillary or small venule within a specific yolk sac region. After determination of the normal intracardiac flow pattern, the right lateral vitelline vein was ligated, and the new intracardiac flow pattern was studied. Ligation resulted in disturbance of normal intracardiac flow patterns, which was most obvious in the conotruncus. The long-term effect of these abnormal intracardiac flow patterns on the development of the heart and pharyngeal arch arteries was investigated by permanent ligation in ovo with a microclip at stage 17 and subsequent evaluation at stages 34, 37, and 45. These experiments revealed anomalies of the vascular system in 58 of the 91 ligated embryos studied. We observed intracardiac malformations consisting of subaortic ventricular septal defects (n=52), semilunar valve anomalies (n=19), atrioventricular anomalies (n=7), and pharyngeal arch artery malformations (n=32). It is concluded that abnormal intracardiac blood flow, resulting from hampered venous inflow, may result in serious intracardiac and pharyngeal arch artery malformations comparable to defects observed in embryonic chicken models subjected to neural crest ablation, cervical flexure experiments, and excessive retinoic acid treatment.
Key Words: blood flow visualization • hemodynamic interference • heart development • cardiac malformation
