“…We have obtained sufficient arterial dilatation with short-duration heating and low dilatation pressure on both acute and chronic phase in our previous in vivo canine and rabbit studies. 2 , 14 , 24 The mechanism of our short-duration heating dilatation have been reported 21 ; (i) reversible collagen thermal denaturation and stretch-fixing of elastin occur during short-duration heating balloon dilatation, and (ii) collagen fiber orients circumferentially and reconstructs with the temperature decrease after short-duration heating. Therefore, the arterial dilatation with our short-duration heating dilatation was performed without any vascular injuries, which are the main causes of the restenosis after the balloon angioplasty.…”

“…Low dilatation pressure (<0.4 MPa) can be used in our short-duration heating dilatation because the vessel wall becomes softened by heating. We have obtained sufficient arterial dilatation with short-duration heating and low dilatation pressure on both acute and chronic phase in our previous in vivo canine and rabbit studies 2,14,24. The mechanism of our short-duration heating dilatation have been reported21; (i) reversible collagen thermal denaturation and stretch-fixing of elastin occur during short-duration heating balloon dilatation, and (ii) collagen fiber orients circumferentially and reconstructs with the temperature decrease after short-duration heating.…”

“…With PTDBA, the arterial dilatation without vascular injuries was attained by "short-term" vascular heating (< 15 s, < 70 °C) and "low" dilatation pressure (< 0.4 MPa) in our previous studies [7,8]. The balloon for PTDBA has the mechanism which can realize the short-term heating [9].…”

“…The balloon for PTDBA has the mechanism which can realize the short-term heating [9]. The chronic restenosis was prevented compared to the conventional balloon angioplasty [8,10] because (i) the arterial dilatation with PTDBA was performed without vascular injuries and (ii) a part of the smooth muscle cells in the media was died by short-term heating. The concept of thermal angioplasty, dilating the arteries without the vascular injuries by vascular heating, had been already proposed in late 1980s by Spears et al [11] and Becker et al [12].…”
