Post stent implantation stenosis is evaluated on the basis of differences in intimal area and thickness and lumen area and percent stenosis. |
Vors et al reported that the small vessel walls displayed hyaline degeneration and intimal and medial hyperplasia with no signs of arteritis. |
The study to evaluate carotid ultrasound with ramipril and vitamin E showed a dose dependent reduction in carotid artery intimal medial thickness. |
Medial or intimal smooth muscle cells had weak or absent expression of these molecules. |
The changes affected chiefly the intima, to less degree the media, and histologically were very much like human intimal disease. |
As the intimal growth increases, the blood supply is cut off. |
