A Nonthoracotomy Myocardial Infarction Model in an Ovine Using Autologous Platelets
Figure 2
Pre- and postembolization angiograms and infarct area at cardiectomy. Illustrative example of embolization and corresponding area of infarctionat cardiectomy. (a) Preembolization angiogram showing the relationship of the nativeovine coronary anatomy and selection of embolization target of the LAD. (b) Area of thrombus formation immediately postembolization (note that * corresponds to the location of embolization injection). (c) Final pathology showing the corresponding area of infarction (note that * once again shows area of embolization with arrows demarcating the area effected by infarction).
