Angioplasty and stenting of basilar artery stenosis: technical case report.

abstract：:This study investigated the natural course of functional recovery of the vascular endothelium and smooth muscle after clipping injury of the rat carotid artery. Vascular injury was induced by clipping the right carotid arteries of Wistar rats. The contractile response to KCl, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), and norep...
