摘要
Failure of vein to artery grafts has been associated with intimal thickening (hyperplasia) and atherosclerosis. Current theories of intimal development, derived from arterial studies, show that smooth muscle cells migrate from the media to the intima after endothelial damage, where they proliferate and produce intimal hyperplasia. However, little is known of the histogenesis of these lesions in vein grafts. Experimental ilio-lumbar vein to iliac artery autografts were placed in 52 rats and analysed by light microscopy and histochemistry from 2 to 140 days after surgery. On day 2 the grafts and adjacent artery were severely damaged. Regeneration of damaged arterial tissue occurred by day 5, and thickening was already evident in the arterial intima. The intimal cells had histochemical characteristics of smooth muscle. By day 15, this hyperplastic intima was continuous across the anastomosis from the artery into the graft. After day 28 a wedge of densely packed cells was present in the vein graft intima for approximately 2 mm into the graft. By day 140, all the grafts were fully re-endothelialized. Intimal hyperplasia was present in all grafts and varied in thickness from 3 to 20 cells. Histochemical staining of these cells showed them to be of smooth muscle origin.
