Aim To investigate the effect of slow-release stent of heparin implantation into transmural channels on myocardial revascularizition after acute myocardial infarction. Methods After the mid third of left anterior descending (LAD) was ligated, miniswine were grouped into control group (A group, n=6), transmyocardial drilling revascularization (TMDR) group (B group, n=6), TMDR+stent implantation group (C group, n=6). In B and C groups, two transmural channels with 3.5 mm in diameter were established by using a self-made drilling device, followed by implantation of two stents into the channels in C group. Vascular density, myocardial perfusion, histological and morphological analyses, and left ventricular (LV) function were evaluated at pre-treatment and 6 weeks post-treatment. Results At 6 weeks post-treatment, vascular density was significantly increased in C group (OD =4268±331 pixels/hpf), compared with A group (2557±241 pixels/hpf, P<0.001) and B group (2412±221 pixels/hpf, P<0.001). Changes of Mass defect percent (△MDP) significantly decreased in B group (-1.43±0.39%), compared to A group (2.83±0.31%, P<0.001) and B group (2.54±0.27%, P<0.001). There were more viable cardiaomyocytes in C group (OD=68224±4190 pixels/hpf) than that in A group (36345±3714 pixels/hpf, P<0.001) and in B group (41138±3989 pixels/hpf, P=0.003). LV ejection fraction (EF) significantly increased in C group (56±3%), relative to A group (49±2%, P=0.037) and B group (48±2%, P=0.019). There were no significant differences in these parameters between A group and B group. Conclusions Slow-release stent of heparin implanted into transmural channel could keep the channel open and promote luminal endothelialization by continuous anticoagulation, promoted angiogenesis, increased myocardial perfusion, enhanced myocardial viability, improved LV function, may be a new method for myocardial revascularization of acute myocardial infarction.
