CRT-113 A Reproducible Animal Model of Calcified Atherosclerotic Plaque from a Cylindrical Bone Marrow Allograft Implanted in the Porcine Coronary and Peripheral Vasculature

A reproducible animal model of calcified atherosclerotic plaque exhibiting properties similar to those observed in the human population has proven difficult to develop. We therefore investigated the use of a bone marrow plug, placed interventionally in the coronary and peripheral arteries, to
