Coronary artery ligation to induce myocardial infarction (MI) in mice is typically performed by an invasive and time consuming approach that requires ventilation and chest opening (classical method), often resulting in extensive tissue damage and high mortality. We developed a novel and rapid surgical method to induce MI that does not require ventilation. The purpose of this study was to develop and comprehensively describe this method and directly compare it to the classical method. Male C57/B6 mice were grouped into four groups: new method MI (MI-N) or sham (S-N), classical method MI (MI-C) or sham (S-C). In new method, heart was manually exposed without intubation through a small incision and MI was induced. In classical method, MI was induced through a ventilated thoracotomy. Similar groups were used in an ischemia/reperfusion injury model. This novel MI procedure is rapid with an average procedure time of 1.22±0.05 min while the classical method requires 23.2±0.6 min per procedure. Surgical mortality was 3% in MI-N and 15.9% in MI-C. The rate of arrhythmia was significantly lower in MI-N. The post-surgical levels of TNFα and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were lower in new method indicating less inflammation. Overall 28 day post-MI survival rate was 68% with MI-N and 48% with MI-C. Importantly, there was no difference in infarct size or post-MI cardiac function between methods. This new rapid method of MI in mice represents a more efficient and less damaging model of myocardial ischemic injury compared to the classical method.
