Schematic comparison of the later stages of sprouting and intussusceptive angiogenesis. The fusion of abluminal sprouts may or may not be influenced by dominant flow fields within the microcirculation. In contrast, intraluminal pillars are necessarily exposed to blood flow within the vessel undergoing intussceptive remodeling (arrow denotes blood flowing around the intraluminal pillar).
