Radiological and pathological assessment of the degree and extent of arterial injury caused by balloon angioplasty was performed in 20 renal arteries obtained at autopsy. Intact arteries were studied angiographically before and after dilatation and then examined histologically. Both normal and diseased arteries were subjected to varying degrees of dilatation. Damage ranged from minimal intimal disruption to major tears of the muscular media. Equivalent dilatory force created greater damage in the distal (muscular) than in the proximal (elastic) portion of the renal artery. There was no evidence of plaque remodeling or compression.
对20条尸检获得的肾动脉进行了球囊血管成形术所致动脉损伤程度和范围的放射学及病理学评估。在扩张前后对完整动脉进行血管造影研究，然后进行组织学检查。正常和病变动脉均接受不同程度的扩张。损伤范围从最小的内膜破坏到肌层中膜的严重撕裂。同等的扩张力在肾动脉远端（肌性）造成的损伤比近端（弹性）部分更大。没有斑块重塑或受压的证据。
