Pig model of acute myocardial infarction. A: Experimental design and animal groups. MI = myocardial infarction; IC = intracoronary delivery; IV = peripheral intravenous delivery. B: Induction of myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography, before, during, immediately after and seven days after occlusion of left anterior descending artery and fibrinogen/thrombin injections. C: HES staining of myocardial tissue seven days after MI induction, characterized by a central necrotic zone and an inflammatory response.
