External Collar Inhibits Balloon-Induced Intimal Hyperplasia in Rabbits

Abstract: Intimal hyperplasia is a common complication following vascular interventions. To understand the underlying pathophysiology, the focus has mainly been on the intima and media. The adventitia has been less investigated, although adventitial hyperplasia is seen together with intimal hyperplasia. If the adventitial response is an important part of the process, the adventitia might be a target to inhibit intimal hyperplasia. In the present study we investigated whether an external collar attenuating the adventitia… Show more

“…To further explore possible deleterious effects of marking pens on vein grafts we have studied the effect of crystal violet on venous cell migration, proliferation, and apoptosis. These are the major biological activities that contribute to intimal hyperplasia in both large and small animal models of vein graft healing 915 .…”

“…The external shielding in the present study might have interfered with mechanical forces, such as shear or tensile stress, which are known to influence intimal hyperplasia [18 -20]. An external support in direct contact to the vessel wall has been shown to reduce intimal thickening in vein grafts [23,24] as well as in balloon-injured arteries [25]. However, the shielding in this study was not in close contact with the vessel wall.…”

“…The restenotic luminal narrowing is due to constrictive remodeling and/or intimal hyperplasia (neointimal formation). The formation of intimal hyperplasia is commonly explained as a result of smooth muscle cell migration, proliferation, and deposition of extracellular matrix [21]. The best-studied model of neointimal formation is the response of the rat carotid artery to balloon angioplasty [22].…”
