From: A perfusable, multifunctional epicardial device improves cardiac function and tissue repair
a, Representative in vivo CT images before and after the injection of contrast medium to assess the distribution of liquid on days 7, 14 and 28 (i); quantitative analysis of the ratio of the CT value after to before the injection of contrast medium (CT valueaft / CT valuebef) (ii); n = 3 biologically independent animals per group. b, Representative in vitro CT images before and after the injection of contrast medium to assess the distribution of liquid within PerMed on days 7, 14 and 28 (i); CT valueaft/CT valuebef was also analysed (ii); n = 3 biologically independent samples per group. c, Representative Masson’s trichrome staining in the IZ (i); assessment of PHMs porosity on days 7, 14 and 28 (ii); n = 7 biologically independent samples for Day 7 group, n = 8 biologically independent samples for Day 14 and 28 group. The data are expressed as mean ± s.d. NS indicates not significant. Data were analysed by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’ s post hoc test. IZ: infarcted zone.
