Description, Staging and Quantification of Pulmonary Artery Angiophagy in a Large Animal Model of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Description, Staging and Quantification of Pulmonary Artery Angiophagy in a Large Animal Model of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Angiophagy has been described as a non-fibrinolytic mechanism of pulmonary artery (PA) patency restoration after distal (<50 µm in diameter) pulmonary embolism in mice. We hypothesized that angiophagy could achieve muscularized PA patency restoration after pulmonary embolism in piglets and humans...
