Illustration of aortic balloon angioplasty injury in mouse model of accelerated atherosclerosis and arterial aneurysmal dilatation. The right iliac artery is dissected and ligated proximally and distally (left panel). A microcatheter is inserted and advanced into the aorta and the balloon is inflated and then pulled back along the vessel (middle panel). Balloon passage is repeated twice and then the catheter is withdrawn and the iliac artery ligated (right panel).
