Suggests ischemia drives collateral growth after occlusion; leaves open translation to human revascularization strategies.
p-value: p=<0.01
Collateral arterial growth following major artery occlusion appears to be driven by downstream ischemic events rather than luminal blood flow, spreading centripetally from the ischemic zone.
Hollenberg et al. (1987) studied Renal artery stenosis. Renal artery stenosis was evaluated on Endothelial cell labelling with tritiated thymidine (p=<0.01). Renal artery stenosis in rats induced a progressive, time-related centripetal gradient in endothelial cell tritiated thymidine labelling (p<0.01).
