A low-grade direct electrical current passed through an intraluminal and external electrode circuit consistently induces coronary thrombosis in intact closed-chest dogs.
Describes a reproducible method for inducing experimental coronary thrombosis in a closed-chest dog model using electrical current.
Coronary thrombosis can be consistently induced in the intact closed-chest dog by the passage of a low-grade direct electrical current through a circuit that includes a positive intraluminal electrode in a major coronary branch and a negative external electrode on the chest wall.
Andres E. Salazah (1961) studied this question. A low-grade direct electrical current passed through an intraluminal and external electrode circuit consistently induces coronary thrombosis in intact closed-chest dogs.
