Fig 1 The growth factors delivery catheter was placed between the epicardium and the latissimus dorsi muscle. A sensing epicardial electrode was inserted in the left ventricular wall. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (02) )

Fig 2 Angiographic studies. (A) Control group. (B) Basic fibroblast growth factor group showing hypervascularization of thoracodorsal artery branches and helical arteries (neoangiogenesis). (Arrows show helical arteries.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (02) )

Fig 3 Histologic studies. (A) Control group showing atrophy in the distal portion of the latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) (hematoxylin-eosin-saffron, magnification ×40). (∣ = the borderline between the epicardium and the LDM.) (B) Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) group showing a preserved LDM trophicity (hematoxylin-eosin-saffron, magnification ×20). (C) bFGF group. A large number of neocapillaries (arrows) is observed between the LDM fibers (hematoxylin-eosin-saffron, magnification ×400). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (02) )
