摘要
A model of arterial restenosis in domestic pigs using deep injury to the coronary arterial media resulting in extensive proliferative response. Metal wire coils are delivered percutaneously to the coronary arteries of pigs with an oversized, high pressure (14 atm) balloon and left in place for 5-6 weeks. During placement, the balloon expands the coils and delivers them securely within the arterial lumen causing fracture of the internal elastic lamina by the coil. An extensive proliferative response occurs and is associated with a lumenal area narrowing of at least 50% Immunohistochemical studies confirms the prominence of smooth muscle cells in the tissue. The histopathologic features of the proliferative response are identical to those observed in cases of restenosis post- angioplasty.PPThis model closely mimics the proliferative portion of human restenosis both grossly and microscopically. It may thus be useful for understanding human restenosis and for testing therapies aimed at preventing restenosis after balloon angioplasty or other coronary interventional procedures.
