Figure 3From: 119 Visualized microinfarction on contrast enhanced MR imaging linked to progressive left ventricular dysfunctionHistological sections show partially healed microinfarction 7 days after delivery of the embolic agents (left panel, arrows 40×). The center of the infarct is comprised of necrotic muscle (I) and the margin granulation tissue (G), indicating the start of the repair process. The embolic agents are shown occluding a vessel and associated with organizing thrombus (T) (100×).Back to article page
