Abstract

Abstract —The spatial correlation between arterial wall microvessels and the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaque is well documented. The role of these microvessels in the development of primary and restenotic lesions is not known. To investigate the effect of interventional procedures on arterial wall microvessels, we studied the adventitial microvascularity of porcine coronary arteries subjected to angioplasty. Twenty-two juvenile domestic swine were subjected to single or repeated (double) balloon angioplasty of the coronary arteries, with the interval between the first and second injury being 14 days. The number, density, and size of adventitial microvessels were measured 1 hour as well as 3, 7, 14, and 28 days after injury. One hour after single balloon injury, there were very few intact adventitial microvessels. Adventitial microvessel number, microvessel area density, and microvessel size were maximal 3 days after single (SI) and double (DI) injury but subsequently underwent progressive regression. Adventitial endothelial cell replication, as assessed by the incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine, was very low for the majority of arteries. Maximal endothelial cell replication indices were observed 3 days after SI and DI (eg, 12.0±3.3%). Early after SI the central arterial lumen area transiently increased, then renarrowed. The lumen area did not change after DI. Arterial remodeling occurred, as the accumulation of intimal and medial mass was correlated with expansion of the external elastic lamina. Adventitial microvessel area density was correlated with central arterial luminal area ( R =0.34, P =0.04). The adventitial microvessel area density and the microvessel size index were greater late after DI compared with SI. These data indicate that adventitial angiogenesis occurs within 3 days after balloon injury and that regression of adventitial microvessels after SI corresponds with arterial narrowing. Changes in the adventitial microvasculature may be a component of arterial remodeling after balloon angioplasty.
