title: Endothelial permeability in experimental aneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas in rabbits as demonstrated by the uptake of Evans blue.
abstract: Rabbits with chronic experimental arteriovenous fistulas or different types of aneurysm fashioned by microvascular surgery have been examined for changed in endothelial permeability by means of a protein-bound tracer dye technique. The aneurysms and anastomosed veins of the arteriovenous aneurysms exhibited pronounced dye-uptake in contrast to low uptake at sites of sham operation. The results demonstrate the importance of haemodynamic factors in altered endothelial function, as shown with a tracer dye technique in these experimental vascular models.
