Research Abstract |
The potent mechanism of bioabsorbable graft was considered two ways : contact between blood cells and luminal surface, and contact between adventitia and neighbor tissue. These were assessed by color, smoothing of the surface, and neovascularization outside the graft. The findings were observed by intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography and angioscopy ; those are used in clinical. Serial observation using imaging modality in vivo may become a new methodology instead of patho-histological assessment after scarified animal.
