Figure 2

Angiographic demonstration of aneurysm creation. Samples were checked by DSA. (a) Fusiform aneurysm from Group B; angiographic of rabbit carotid artery 21 days after porcine pancreatic elastase incubation in the right carotid artery exhibited luminal enlargement (arrow) compared with that in the normal carotid artery. (b) Fusiform aneurysm from Group C with thrombus. (c) 3D results of Group B. (d) 3D results of Group C.
