Abstract

Neointima formation and atherosclerosis compromise long-term graft patency in aortocoronary vein bypass grafts. We investigated the effect on neointima formation in porcine saphenous vein grafts of periadventitial application of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells transduced with the gene for the peptide glucagon-like peptide-1, which have been shown to induce angiogenesis in previous studies and are protected from immune-mediated destruction by encapsulation in alginate microbeads (CellBeads).
