CBF and newly formed vasculature. (A) Distribution of CBF at baseline (b, green bars) and after left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion (o, blue bars) in sections proximal and distal to the stenosis. For details, see text and Fig. S10 in SI Appendix. *, P < 0.05 vs. baseline; n = 8. (B) Two newly formed coronary arteries from two hearts in which CBF was measured. Each vessel is positive for α-SMA (red) and Alu (white). The diameter of each vessel is indicated. The expression of EGFP alone and with α-SMA for each vessel is shown in Fig. S11 in SI Appendix. (C) Classes of newly formed human coronary vessels within the dog heart. (D) Tracing of segment length in the ischemic myocardium at 1 and 4 weeks in the same dog. (Lower) Improvement in shortening of the ischemic myocardium with time. *, P < 0.05 vs. 1 week.
