Study design, showing the time-line of the CMR experiment of imaging coronary vessel wall edema. Balloon overstretch injury was induced in the LAD of 40 kg Danish Land Race pigs (n = 7). Cross sectional views of the LAD were acquired by CMR before and post balloon injury. The animals were euthanized to correlate CMR observations with histopathological findings. The number of animals assessed by CMR at various time points after the balloon injury is indicated in parenthesis.
