pubmed:abstractText |
placing external non-restrictive macro-porous stents around porcine vein grafts prevents neointima formation and medial thickening in both the short and long term. Whether the porosity of the stent material influences this effect, however, has not been determined. Therefore, the effect on neointimal and medial thickening of external macro-porous (polyester) and micro-porous (polytetrafluorethylene) stents of equal diameter were compared. The effect on expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a potent mediator of vascular smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation and its receptors was also investigated.
