Long-axis MRIs after MI (A), 2 weeks after the Dor procedure (B), and 2 weeks after plication (C) in sheep. MI, Dykinetic myocardial infarct; SI, septal infarct; IP, infarct plication. All images were obtained at end systole. Note that the LV shapes obtained with plication and the Dor procedureare significantly different. For instance the postplication shape (C) is very globular with acute bending at the plication. The LV shape after the Dor procedure, however, seems to be rectangular, is less spherical, and is more ellipsoidal than that after plication (B).
