de Zeeuw and colleagues [1] have developed an elegant and technically challenging model to evaluate myocardial perfusion after creation of a left ventricular-to-coronary artery shunt (LV-CA). This animal model specifically assesses transmyocardial blood flow and coronary physiology in a normal porcine heart without collateral circulation. This is a physiologic state that is uncommon in patients with chronic arterial occlusive disease. However, it may represent a plausible intervention in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease.

A valveless LV-CA bypass has a significant impact on regional myocardial perfusion. The conduit used in this study reverses mid-left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) . . . [Full Text of this Article]
