Objective: To establish an animal model of myocardial ischemia with blood stasis syndrome in mini-swines.
Methods: An animal model of myocardial ischemia was established in mini-swines by oppressing the coronary artery through the expansion of inner layer of Ameroid constrictor and the Ameroid constrictor was implanted into the distal end of the initial part of the first branch of interventricular septum of ramus descendens anterior arteriae coronariae sinistrae. Dynamic observation of behavior changes, general health status and changes of hemorheological parameters in the mini-swines were made after operation.
Results: The coronary angiography showed that the stenosis rate in ischemic group was more than 75% four weeks after operation. Compared with before operation and sham-operated group, there were great changes of behavior, general health status, tongue color and hemorheological parameters in ischemic group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The animal model of myocardial ischemia with blood stasis syndrome in mini-swines was established successfully 4 weeks after operation. The pathological process in the animal model is similar to that in the patients with chronic myocardial ischemia. So this model can be adopted in the research of myocardial ischemia with blood stasis syndrome.

Key words: myocardial ischemia, blood stasis, models, animal, minipigs
