Wound healing in the media of the normolipemic rabbit carotid artery injured by air drying or by balloon catheter de-endothelialization.
Abstract
The response to air-dry injury to the carotid artery of the normolipemic rabbit was compared with the response to de-endothelialization with a balloon catheter. Air drying induced an inflammatory response that resembled arteritis rather than atherosclerosis. There was medial damage, neutrophil but not macrophage infiltration, and fibrin formation, limited smooth muscle proliferation, which regressed after 3 months, and no lipid deposition. …
