Coil occlusion yields more severe LV dysfunction than balloon reperfusion in sheep; extends severe HF model options but leaves clinical translation open.
Permanent coronary occlusion by thrombogenic coils in sheep produces a more severe model of left ventricular dysfunction and early remodeling compared to 90-minute balloon occlusion/reperfusion.
Charles et al. (2000) studied this question.
