Excerpt

The use of MRI for the study of ischemia and its consequences in small animals has been limited by the need for a thoracotomy and operative occlusion of the coronary arteries. The trauma of the surgery may be an important confounder in this open-chest model. The closure of the coronaries with a suture does not allow multiple occlusion-reperfusion cycles, and has limited the study of ischemia/reperfusion in small animals. …
