Biliverdin administration prevents the formation of intimal hyperplasia induced by vascular injury.
BACKGROUND Autologous vein grafts and balloon angioplasty are still commonly used for arterial reconstructive procedures. Their success is limited by the development of intimal hyperplasia (IH). Biliverdin (BVD), one of the by-products of heme degradation, has been shown to have potent antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects. We hypothesized that BVD administration would protect vascular tissu...
متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated delivery of fas ligand inhibits intimal hyperplasia after balloon injury in immunologically primed animals.
BACKGROUND Adenoviral constructs have been used for studies of injury-induced vascular hyperplasia in immunologically naive laboratory animals, but their usefulness for intra-arterial gene therapy may be limited by the prevalence of preexisting immunity to adenovirus in the patient population. Here, we explored the efficacy of adenovirus-mediated transfer of Fas ligand, a cytotoxic gene with im...
متن کاملLocal honokiol application inhibits intimal thickening in rabbits following carotid artery balloon injury
Honokiol is a natural bioactive product with anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-angiogenic and neuroprotective properties. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of honokiol treatment on intimal thickening following vascular balloon injury. The current study determined that perivascular honokiol application reduced intimal thickening in rabbits 14 days after carotid...
متن کاملRecombinant apolipoprotein A-I Milano reduces intimal thickening after balloon injury in hypercholesterolemic rabbits.
BACKGROUND Several epidemiological studies have shown an inverse relation between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and coronary heart disease. Recently, observational studies have suggested a similar inverse relation between HDL and restenosis after coronary balloon angioplasty. Despite these observations, it is unclear whether this inverse relation reflects a direct vascular p...
متن کاملNeo-intimal hyperplasia, diabetes and endovascular injury
Diabetes is a significant major risk factor for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and critical limb ischaemia (CLI), the latter which is also the most common cause of amputation in these patients. Revascularisation of the lower extremities of such patients is imperative for limb salvage and has become First-line therapy. However, the incidence of restenosis following endovascular stenting is ve...
