Background: Previous studies suggested that epicardial patch applied to the infarcted site after acute myocardial infarction (MI) can alleviate left ventricular (LV) remodeling and improve cardiac performance; however, the effects of regional epicardial patch on chronic phase of LV remodeling remain unclear.Methods and Results: We studied 20 pigs with MI induced by distal embolization and impaired LVejection fraction (LVEF .05). As determined by cardiac MRI, LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes increased at 20 weeks compared with 8 weeks in both groups (P < .05). However, the increase in LV end-diastolic volume (+14.1 +/- 1.8% vs. +6.6 +/- 2.1%, P = .015) and LV end-systolic volume (+12.1 +/- 2.4% vs. 4.7 +/- 3.7%, P = .0015) were significantly greater in the control group compared with the patch group. Furthermore, the percentage increase in LVEF (+17.3 +/- 4.9% vs. +4.1 +/- 3.9%, P = .048) from 8 to 20 weeks was significantly greater in the patch group compared with the control group. Histological examination showed that LV wall thickness at the infarct region and adjacent pen-infarct regions were significantly greater in the patch group compared with the control group (P < .05).Conclusion: Regional application of a simple, passive synthetic epicardial patch increased LV wall thickness at the infarct region, attenuated LV dilation, and improved LVEF and +dP/dt in a large animal model of MI.
