From: The role of atorvastatin on the restenosis process post-PTA in a diabetic rabbit model
Restenosis’s formation in iliac arteries after double-injury surgery. HE and VGF-stained sections show increasing neointimal formation post double-injury surgery at 7, 14 and 28 days compared to sham-operated controls (Group C). Atorvastatin’s inhibitory effect on restenosis was examed as well (Group A). a Restenosis was measured by the total size of the artery. b The stenosis rate. c The inimal-to-media area ratio. * P < 0.05 vs. group N; # P < 0.05 vs. 7-day; + P < 0.05 vs. 28-day
