In an effort to determine whether specific genetic modifications of cells of the vascular system might improve the efficacy of existing clinical procedures such as endarterectomy, atherectomy, and percutaneous angioplasty, we investigated the utility of gene transfer to rapidly and efficiently repopulate injured arteries with genetically modified cells in an animal model.
