Summary: We performed balloon dilatation in the carotid artery of WHHL rabbits and examined subsequent morphological alteration over time. The balloon was inserted as far as the carotid bifurcation and observations were made on the morphological alteration after dilatation in the atherosclerotic intimal thickening from immediately after balloon dilatation over a period of ten months. Immediately after balloon dilatation, endothelial cells came of circularly and stretching, fragmentation off elastic fibers and coming off of smooth muscle cells of the media were confirmed. No change in the degree of thickening after dilatation was seen in the atherosclerotic intimal thickening of the carotid bifurcation. Three weeks later, endothelium covering except some parts, circular neointima and fibrosis of the media were observed; foamy cells had accumulated in the upper layer of the atherosclerotic intimal thickening, and that region was not yet covered with endothelial cells. The progress of fibrous intimal thickening so as to keep the lumen smooth was seen up to six months later, but foamy cells were not found in the neointima. |
