Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the method of establishment of a minipig model of ischemic heart failure(HF) with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) by coronary balloon occlusion and coadministration of injecting of microthrombi and plastic microspheres.Methods A total of eighteen minipigs were selected.After coronary angiography,angioplasty balloons were placed in the mid-distal of left anterior descending(LAD).The balloon was inflated intermittently to occlude the LAD 3 times and then to occlude it continuously for 120 minutes.After the balloon was taken out,4F Judkins-type angiogrphic catheter was superelectively engaged in LAD and 3 mL intermixture of mierothrombi and plastic microspheres were injected at 10 minites interval until TIMI myocardial perfusion was grade<2 and left ventfieular end-diastolic pressure was maintained from 15 to 18 mmHg.Electrocardiogram(ECG),hemodynamic perameters,ultrasonic cardiogram,cTnI and CK-MB were measured.Myocardial infarction area was evaluated by histopathology.Results Fourteen days later,fifteen minipigs survived and fourteen satisfied the criteria(pulmonary capillary wedge pressure.PCWP>18 mmHg and eardio output (CO) decreased beyond 30% ). The changes of ECG, hemodynamic perameters, CKMB, cTnI and cardiac pathologic examination were in accordance with AMI. Conclusion A stable experimental method of establishment of minipig model of ischemic heart failure (HF) with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by coronary balloon occlusion and coadministration of injecting of microthrombi and plastic mierospheres is succeded. This method has advantages such as closed chest, higher success rate and stability compared with the drug induced, taehycardia-pacing induced, coronary artery ligation induced or microsphere injection alone methods.
