摘要: Abstract The effect of purified eicosapentanoic acid on intimal fibrous hyperplasia in expanded polytetrafluoroethylene grafts was examined 18 rabbits undergoing infrarenal aorta reconstruction. Six received commercial rabbit chow (control group), six a regular diet supplemented with 1% cholesterol (cholesterol and the 91.1% pure 500 mg/day (eicosapentanoic group). Grafts were harvested 3 months after surgery for histologic examination. platelet count serum β-thromboglobulin factor 4 concentrations not significantly different between groups.
