ABSTRACT Introduction and objectives: There is great interest in the development of devices for the percutaneous management of mitral regurgitation (MR). For this reason, having an experimental model that reproduces the conditions of the disease is of great importance. Our objective was to validate an experimental model of MR in a porcine model. Methods: For the model creation phase 3, 2-month-old 25 ± 3 kg large white pigs were used. An acute myocardial infarction was caused in the circumflex artery territory that hampered the perfusion of the posteromedial papillary muscle. Then, volume overload was induced in the animal by creating an arteriovenous shunt and connecting the aorta and the pulmonary artery using a Dacron tube. Echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed before the intervention and on week 8. Afterwards, the animal was euthanized to conduct the pathological study. Results: One out of the 3 pigs died during the intervention due to ventricular fibrillation. The remaining 2 pigs survived the procedure and were euthanized as scheduled on week 8. In both cases a transmural infarction occurred, 1 at lateral level and the other one at posteroinferior level with moderate secondary mitral regurgitation. Ventricular dimensions and volumes increased and the overall contractility was maintained... |
