ATA attenuates neointimal formation after hamster vascular injury; leaves open translation to human stenosis or thrombosis prevention.
Does aurintricarboxylic acid prevent vascular stenosis and thrombus formation in a hamster model of endothelial injury?
Aurintricarboxylic acid inhibits both platelet adhesion and smooth muscle cell proliferation, effectively reducing neointima formation and thrombosis after vascular injury in a preclinical model.
A 1998 study studied this question.
