Background: Vascular calcification is a common pathologic and precisely regulated process involving bone-associated proteins such as osteopontin. In this study, we investigated mechanisms by which recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor 165 protects the arterial wall from severe vascular remodeling, including calcification, a newly discovered biologic action of vascular endothelial growth factor.
Methods: In a rabbit model of thoracic aortic end-to-end anastomosis that simulates cardiovascular intervention, recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor 165 at a dose of 0.
