Abstract
In the large and expanding field of research involving the vascular biology of atherosclerosis and the response to injury following intervention, animal models play a crucial initial role in understanding the mechanisms of disease and the biologic components of the response to injury, and in evaluating the safety and efficacy of new devices. In particular, the rabbit iliac artery technique offers many scientific and practical advantages.
