High-flow-induced arterial remodeling in rats with different susceptibilities to cerebral aneurysms.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The higher incidence of cerebral aneurysms (CAs) induced by enhanced arterial blood flow in Long Evans (LE) compared to Brown Norway (BN) rats suggests that intrinsic differences in high-flow arterial remodeling may be involved in determining CA susceptibility. Some aspects of this remodeling were compared in LE and BN rats after creation of an abdominal aortocaval fistula (ACF). METHODS AND RESULTS:...
