Total IRE-mediated ablation of vascular smooth muscle cells in rats. Cross-sectional image of rat carotid artery (right) after IRE-mediated total vascular smooth muscle ablation. Note the absence of vascular smooth muscle cells and repopulation of endothelial layer. The contralateral untreated carotid artery (left) was used as a control and demonstrates the abundance of vascular smooth muscle cells.
