Intimal thickening in arterial autografts. Role of the adventitial layer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present work, the repairing response of the iliac arterial wall is studied after carrying out autografts in segments of these vessels. The formation of the intimal hyperplasia, which occurred in all the cases, was followed at the biochemical level (tritium thymidine incorporation) and with light and electron microscopy. The adventitial layer showed great activity during the repairing process. We believe that it plays an important role not only in neoadventitial formation, but also in myointimal raising.

The role of the pericytes of the adventitial microcirculation in the arterial intimal thickening.
Segments of rat femoral arteries, with one collateral each, occluded between ligatures and dissected from surrounding tissue, developed intimal thickening, with or without ligation of their collaterals. Numerous newly-formed capillaries from the surrounding arterial microcirculation growing into the adventitia, tunica media and intimal thickening were demonstrated by means of serial longitudina...
متن کاملAngiogenesis-dependent and independent phases of intimal hyperplasia.
BACKGROUND Neointimal vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation is a primary cause of occlusive vascular disease, including atherosclerosis, restenosis after percutaneous interventions, and bypass graft stenosis. Angiogenesis is implicated in the progression of early atheromatous lesions in animal models, but its role in neointimal VSMC proliferation is undefined. Because percutaneous co...
متن کاملArterial enlargement, tortuosity, and intimal thickening in response to sequential exposure to high and low wall shear stress.
We investigated the effects of sequential and prolonged exposure to high and low wall shear stress on arterial remodeling using a rabbit arteriovenous fistula (AVF) model. Blood flow was increased by approximately 17-fold to 20-fold when the AVF was open, and returned to normal when the AVF was occluded. Repeated opening and closing of the AVF resulted in sequential exposure of the artery to hi...
متن کاملAbsence of CD40 signaling is associated with an increase in intimal thickening after arterial injury.
Immune-mediator CD40 ligand is expressed on a variety of cell types involved in the immune response and on the cells of the vascular system. Inhibition of CD40 signaling has been associated with reduction of experimental atherosclerosis and transplant-associated vasculopathy. Immune response also plays a cardinal role in intimal thickening after acute arterial-wall injury. After carotid artery ...
متن کاملPeriadventitial inducible nitric oxide synthase expression and intimal thickening.
Positioning a silicone collar around the rabbit carotid artery induces a smooth muscle cell-rich intimal thickening. We investigated the localization of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) during thickening of the intima, the effect of iNOS inhibition on intimal thickness, and the effect of oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) on iNOS expression in the vessel wall. Collars were positioned for 18 hours or f...
