Influence of coronary architecture on the variability in myocardial infarction induced by coronary ligation in rats
Fig 3
The representative histological and angiographic findings of the 2 rats in which the coronary artery was ligated 2 mm distal to the LAA (A-C and D-F).
Both cases showed myocardial infarction localized to anterior territory with intact LCX and septal artery. The size of myocardial infarction was 33% (A), and 26% (C), respectively. Abbreviations, see Figs 1 and 2.
