    Abstract Acute myocardial infarction continues to account for a growing burden of heart failure worldwide. Despite existing therapies, new approaches for reducing the extent of damage and better managing heart failure progression are urgently needed. Preclinical large animal models are a critical step in the translation of scientific discoveries toward clinical trials and therapeutic application. In this chapter, we detail methods to induce swine models of myocardial infarction through catheter-mediated approaches involving either temporary (ischemia-reperfusion) or permanent (thrombus injection or embolic coil) occlusions. These techniques are relatively low in invasiveness, while infarct size with corresponding cardiac dysfunction can be controlled by adjusting the location of coronary occlusion. We also describe methods for cardiac angiography and echocardiography in pigs. This is the second edition of a previously published chapter with modifications.

    Abstract Formation of neutralizing antibodies and cellular immune response with repeat adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy dosing are critical concerns in translational, large animal studies. The enzyme-linked immunospot/immunosorbent spot (ELISpot) assay introduced a way to track B- and/or T-cell response to therapy over time at a protein level. We describe the protocol for this assay looking at relative interferon (IFN)-γ secretion in pre- and post-AAV injections in a pig model.

    Abstract Coronary artery dissection (CAD) is the intimal tearing of the coronary arterial wall and can be iatrogenic, spontaneous, or traumatic in origin. CAD is a rare but challenging condition that can cause significant hemodynamic compromise. Management strategies for CAD, such as the use of mechanical circulatory support devices, are available in the clinical setting. However, the incidence, etiology, and optimal management of CAD are not well-defined, emphasizing the need for adequate animal models in preclinical studies. Large animal models provide the human-like conditions necessary for testing and development of potential treatment strategies. In this chapter, we describe a method for the creation of a CAD swine model.

    Abstract The field of cardiac gene therapy has seen the rising use of adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors as a promising therapeutic option for cardiac diseases and heart failure. To achieve intended results of AAV delivery, a majority of clinical studies screen patients for existing neutralizing antibodies that could inhibit the effects of the administered AAV and confound treatment efficacy. The cell-based neutralizing antibody assay offers a method of quantifying and identifying a patient's existing neutralizing antibodies against specific serotypes. Combined with the luciferase assay, the neutralizing antibody assay tests the ability of patient antibodies in the blood to prevent gene transduction of AAV-encoded luciferase gene at ranging serial dilutions. This chapter provides a protocol and experimental techniques to determine the presence of neutralizing antibodies against AAV in the blood.

    Abstract Restoring ischaemic myocardial tissue perfusion is crucial for minimizing infarct size. Acute mechanical left ventricular (LV) support has been suggested to improve infarct tissue perfusion. However, its regulatory mechanism remains unclear. We investigated the physiological mechanisms in six Yorkshire pigs, which were subjected to 90-min balloon occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. During the acute reperfusion phase, LV support using an Impella heart pump was initiated. LV pressure, coronary flow and pressure of the infarct artery were simultaneously recorded to evaluate the impact of LV support on coronary physiology. Coronary wave intensity was calculated to understand the forces regulating coronary flow. Significant increases in coronary flow velocity and its area under the curve were found after mechanical LV support. Among the coronary flow-regulating factors, coronary pressure was increased mainly during the late diastolic phase with less pulsatility. Meanwhile, LV pressure was reduced throughout diastole resulting in significant and consistent elevation of coronary driving pressure. Interestingly, the duration of diastole was prolonged with LV support. In the wave intensity analysis, the duration between backward suction and pushing waves was extended, indicating that earlier myocardial relaxation and delayed contraction contributed to the extension of diastole. In conclusion, mechanical LV support increases infarct coronary flow by extending diastole and augmenting coronary driving pressure. These changes were mainly driven by reduced LV diastolic pressure, indicating that the key regulator of coronary flow under mechanical LV support is downstream of the coronary artery, rather than upstream. Our study highlights the importance of LV diastolic pressure in infarct coronary flow regulation. KEY POINTS: Restoring ischaemic myocardial tissue perfusion is crucial for minimizing infarct size. Although mechanical left ventricular (LV) support has been suggested to improve infarct coronary flow, its specific mechanism remains to be clarified. LV support reduced LV pressure, and elevated coronary pressure during the late diastolic phase, resulting in high coronary driving pressure. This study demonstrated for the first time that mechanical LV support extends diastolic phase, leading to increased infarct coronary flow. Future studies should evaluate the correlation between improved infarct coronary flow and resulting infarct size.

    Abstract Coronary reperfusion therapy has played a pivotal role for reducing mortality and heart failure after acute myocardial infarction. Although several adjunctive approaches have been studied for reducing infarct size further, both ischemia-reperfusion injury and microvascular obstruction are still major contributors to both early and late clinical events after acute myocardial infarction. The progress in the field of cardioprotection has found several promising proof-of-concept preclinical studies. However, translation from bench to bedside has not been very successful. This comprehensive review discusses the importance of infarct size as a driver of clinical outcomes post-acute myocardial infarction and summarizes recent novel device-based approaches for infarct size reduction. Device-based interventions including mechanical cardiac unloading, myocardial cooling, coronary sinus interventions, supersaturated oxygen therapy, and vagal stimulation are discussed. Many of these approaches can modify ischemic myocardial biology before reperfusion and offer unique opportunities to target ischemia-reperfusion injury.

    Abstract Gene therapy for heart failure targets various pathways that modulate cardiac function. Its detailed evaluation is crucial for proving the efficacy of cardiac gene therapies. Parameters that can be obtained by noninvasive approaches are generally influenced by loading conditions of the heart. In contrast, catheter-based left ventricular pressure-volume assessment provides a unique option to minimally invasively assess intrinsic myocardial function in a load-insensitive manner. In this chapter, we describe procedural steps for performing pressure-volume measurements and analysis in a preclinical large animal model.

    Abstract Mechanical LV unloading for acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a promising supportive therapy to reperfusion. However, no data is available on exit strategy. We evaluated hemodynamic and cellular effects of reloading after Impella-mediated LV unloading in Yorkshire pigs. First, we conducted an acute study in normal heart to observe effects of unloading and reloading independent of MI-induced ischemic effects. We then completed an MI study to investigate optimal exit strategy on one-week infarct size, no-reflow area, and LV function with different reloading speeds. Initial studies showed that acute reloading causes an immediate rise in end-diastolic wall stress followed by a significant increase in cardiomyocyte apoptosis. The MI study did not result in any statistically significant findings; however, numerically smaller average infarct size and no-reflow area in the gradual reloading group prompt further examination of reloading approach as an important clinically relevant consideration.
