The influence of trauma on experimental aortic atheromatosis

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The influence of blunt aortic trauma on the development of experimental atheromatosis has been observed in rabbits fed normal as well as high cholesterol diets. Trauma alone did not produce a significant degree of atheromatous change within the 65 day period of these experiments. Trauma did not accelerate the formation of atheromatous lesions at the site of injury. The earlier appearance of generalized abdominal aortic atheromatous lesions in the traumatized animals fed a high cholesterol diet is unexplained.
