- Abstract
We hypothesized the source of early proliferating cells contributing to venous stenosis formation in a porcine hemodialysis grafts is the adventitia and media, and migration of these cells is greatest within the first two weeks following graft placement, resulting in increased matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity.
