Abstract
The use of swine to study the vascular response to injury has gained wide acceptance over the past 10 yr. Our approach to the porcine model has been focused on the evaluation of novel therapeutic approaches to the treatment of arterial restenosis. It is from this perspective that the following discussion was prepared. Thus, the purpose of this brief review is to present a rationale for the use of the pig, describe the general technique, compare and contrast some of the variations in the use of the model and highlight relevant similarities to the human problem of coronary restenosis.
