Abstract
After atherosclerotic development has proceeded for the allotted time, arteries can be harvested by several techniques to optimize both quantitative and qualitative histological analysis. A study design must include consideration of the parameters to be analyzed, to determine how tissue should be harvested. Often, studies increase the numbers of samples in each group to allow specimen collection by several techniques, and hence several different analyses can be performed.
