A Novel and Efficient Model of Coronary Artery Ligation in the Mouse

Coronary artery ligation to induce myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice is typically performed by an invasive and time-consuming approach that requires ventilation and a full thoracotomy (classical method), often resulting in extensive tissue damage and high mortality. Here, we describe a novel and rapid surgical method to induce MI that does not require ventilation. This method is much more efficient and safer than the classical method of MI and I/R injury.
