The mechanism of balloon angioplasty.
Abstract
A new theory of the mechanism of percutaneous arterial angioplasty is advanced. For this study, abdominal aortas and coronary, renal, superior mesenteric, and iliac arteries were obtained from cadavers. In addition, the iliac arteries of dogs were dilated and studied. No evidence of significant compression or redistribution of plaques could be found, supporting the theory that atheromatous material is incompressible. Cracking of the intima and separation of it from the media were histologically demonstrated following angioplasty. It is proposed that the stretched media distends following dilatation, carrying with the intima and atheromatous material. Once the media is freed from the encasing effect of the intima, it adapts to the circulatory needs of the body. Beyond a certain point, the arterial widening becomes permanent, due to an overstretching of the muscle fibers, which is demonstrated by a corkscrew deformity of the muscle cell nuclei.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
