A Nonthoracotomy Myocardial Infarction Model in an Ovine Using Autologous Platelets
Figure 3
Histological analysis highlighting the three distinct zones of myocardium post-embolization. Representative regional myocardial histology (20x magnification). (a) Infarct tissue showing significant area of inflammation (H&E) and fibrosis (Masson’s trichrome), (b) border zone myocardium showing the transition (delineated by blocked arrows) between normal myocytes (top) and ischemic tissue (bottom), and (c) remote zone showing normal myocardial cell structure and no fibrosis.
