Why the study?
Does reperfusion after varying durations of coronary occlusion reduce the area of myocardial necrosis compared to permanent occlusion in a canine model?
Population
Open chest anaesthetised dogs undergoing left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion
Comparison
Reperfusion after 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 hours of left… vs Permanent occlusion
Design
Preclinical
Follow-up
96 hours

This preclinical study demonstrates that the salvage of ischemic myocardium by reperfusion is highly time-dependent and strongly influenced by collateral blood flow and myocardial oxygen demand.
