Pharmacological Attenuation of Myocardial Reperfusion Injury in a Closed-Chest Porcine Model: a Systematic Review

Research output: Contribution to journalReviewpeer-review

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is a clinical challenge in interventional cardiology, and at the moment, no pharmacological agent is universally accepted in the prevention. In order to prevent inappropriate clinical trials, a potential pharmacological agent should be proved reproducibly effective in clinically relevant experimental studies before initiation of human studies. The closed-chest porcine model is a promising experimental model of ischemia-reperfusion injury. The purpose of this systematic review was to describe the pharmacological treatments evaluated in the closed-chest porcine model and discuss different aspects of the model for future use. The systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines.
