Background: We tested whether intra-coronary administration of cyclosporine effectively preserves left ventricular (LV) function in porcine acute anterior wall infarction (AMI).Methods and results: Eighteen male mini-pigs were randomized into groups 1 (control), 2 (AMI alone), and 3 (AMI with cyclosporine treatment). AMI was induced by ligating middle left anterior descending artery (LAD). Fifteen minutes after ligation, saline and cyclosporine (2.5 mg) combination was injected into LAD beyond ligation in groups 2 and 3, respectively. Echocardiography was performed after 14 days, followed by animal sacrifice. Larger infarcted area (IA) was noted in group 2 than in group 3 (p
