ABSTRACT
Foreign-body granulomas within intramyocardial arteries were detected in three domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica) in a routine transcoronary safety assessment study. The foreign bodies stained light grayish-blue by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and were strongly birefringent by polarized light microscopy. By their morphological features, they were identified as cotton fibers. Embolization of foreign-body material into the myocardial arteries following catheter-based procedures is an unusual event, and its occurrence may lead to granulomatous foreign-body reaction and misinterpretation of histological results.
