In vitro VEC biological features and correlation with in vivo hemodynamic parameters.
| VEC biological features | Hemodynamic parameters | Resistance index (RI) | Reflux time (RT) | ( value)* | ( value)* |
| Cell proliferation index | n.s. | −0.6 (0.027) | Cell migration index | n.s. | n.s. | Expression levels of ICAM-1 | −0.4 (0.002) | 0.4 (0.007) | Expression levels of VCAM-1 | n.s. | n.s. | Expression levels of OPG | n.s. | 0.5 (0.013) | Expression levels of TRAIL | 0.4 (0.048) | n.s. |
