Background. Reperfusion of acutely infarcted myocardium may be beneficial in limiting infarct expansion and ventricular remodeling even if established after the time that salvage of ischemic myocardium is possible.Methods and Results. To examine the permanency, time course, and mechanism of this effect of late reperfusion, 200 rats were randomized into one of four groups: (1) infarction with reperfusion after 1 to 2 hours, (2) infarction with reperfusion after 6 to 8 hours, (3) infarction without reperfusion, and (4) sham operation. Surviving rats were killed at either 7 days, when infarct expansion has plateaued, or 21 days, when infarct healing is complete. In both 7- and 21-day analyses, late reperfusion did not reduce infarct size or degree of transmural necrosis but significantly limited infarct expansion, as measured by an index based on infarct endocardial segment lengthening and infarct wall thinning (expansion index at 7 days: no reperfusion, 2.73+/-0.25, n=13; reperfusion after 1 to 2 hours, 1.56+/-0.13, n=23, P
