title: [Regression of atherosclerosis lesions].
abstract: The regression of even advanced atherosclerotic vascular lesions is now well-documented in various animal species (dogs, pigs, rabbits, birds and monkeys). In man, well-controlled studies in selected groups of patients have already shown that a reduction of luminal stenosis may take place. After a reliable morphological und morphometric validation has been obtained, non-invasive and easily applicable methods are available which allow reproducible documentation of the reduction in lesions.
