(vertically in ascending order) after balloon injury in respectively (horizontally ordered) the right common carotid artery (CCA), abdominal aorta (AA) and right common iliac artery (CIA). The mean parameters (maximal lumen diameter (MLD), media area and maximal media thickness) are subsequently given. MLD: CCA 16 vs 0 p < 0.001; CIA 16 vs 0 p < 0.0001;CCA 1 vs 0 p < 0.0003; AA 2 vs 0 p < 0.002; CIA 3 vs 0 p < 0.004. Media area: CCA 3 vs 0 p < 0.001; AA 3 vs 0 p < 0.0001; CIA 3 vs 0 p < 0.0001. THMAX: CCA 16 vs 0 p < 0.002; AA 3 vs 0 p < 0.0001; CIA 3 vs 0 p < 0.0001
