Simultaneous Upregulation of Elastolytic and Elastogenic Factors Are Necessary for Regulated Collateral Diameter Expansion

Background: During arteriogenesis, outward remodeling of the arterial wall expands luminal diameter to produce increased conductance in developing collaterals. We have previously shown that diameter expansion without loss of internal elastic lamina (IEL) integrity requires both degradation of elasti...
