Background-Microvascular obstruction within an area of myocardial infarction indicates worse functional recovery and a higher risk of postinfarction complications. After prolonged coronary occlusion, contrast-enhanced MRI identifies myocardial infarction as a hyperenhanced region containing a hypoenhanced core. Because the time course of microvascular obstruction after infarction/reperfusion is unknown, we examined whether microvascular obstruction reaches its full extent shortly after reperfusion or shows significant progression over the following 2 days.Methods and Results-Seven dogs underwent 90-minute balloon occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) followed by reflow. Gadolinium-DTPA-enhanced MRT performed at 2, 6, and 48 hours after reperfusion was compared with radioactive microsphere blood flow (MBF) measurements and myocardial staining to define microvascular obstruction (thioflavin S) and infarct size (triphenyltetrazolium chloride, TTC). The MRI hypoenhanced region increased 3-fold during 48 hours after reperfusion (3.2+/-1.8%, 6.7+/-4.4%, and 9.9+/-3.2% of left ventricular mass at 2, 6, and 48 hours, respectively, P
