Angiography of porcine model of chronic coronary artery occlusion and collateral perfusion. The left main coronary artery was catheterized for performance of selective coronary angiography. A and B: regionally enhanced serial images emphasizing the cardiac silhouette to provide detail of coronary vasculature. White arrows in A and B identify collateral vessels supplying the left circumflex artery (LCX) distal to occlusion. LAD, left anterior descending artery; LMC, left main coronary artery catheter; PVC, pulmonary vein catheter for procedure not related to the data associated with this study.
