In vivo models to investigate mechanisms of local hemostasis in the macro- and microvascular coronary circulation are not available. Therefore, we established a culture system of human macro- and microvascular endothelial cells with high cellular yield and high endothelial cell purity. Microvascular endothelial cells from human hearts were isolated by enzymatic treatment of cardiac muscle preparations obtained during heart transplantation. The isolated microvessels were used to start cultures that were subsequently separated and purified from contaminating nonendothelial cells by paramagnetic beads linked to the lectin Ulex europaeus agglutinin I. Macrovascular endothelial cells were isolated from epicardial coronary arteries and purified by paramagnetic beads as well. With this method high purity (
