Myocardial vessel implants in a dog model demonstrate minimal initial flow, as evidenced by prolonged contrast retention.
Minimal flow in dog myocardial implants cautions against early clinical use; leaves open viability questions for optimized designs in future studies.
The initial flow in a myocardial vessel implant in dogs was investigated by injecting contrast into the vessel. The contrast did not disappear during 50-90 seconds after injection, which indicates only minimal flow in the implant.
