The chain-encircled angioplasty balloon produced a circumferential deep vessel wall injury that healed by luminal narrowing. In this porcine model, arterial remodeling was more important than neointimal formation in late luminal narrowing.
The quality of the axial length readings of the IOLMaster was influenced by the SNR value. However, with proper SNR evaluation and recalibration of the PCI measurements, it is possible to achieve consistent PCI readings with little variation between preoperative and postoperative measurements. These results are promising for a higher accuracy of the IOL power calculation.
Formation of neoadventitia precedes late loss of lumen, constrictive remodeling, and formation of neointima. The time course of vascular remodeling coincides with growth of neointima rather than with changes in the adventitia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
