Comparison of structural and hemodynamic changes between non-ligated (a) and partially ligated (b) iliac arteries at day 56. We observed a significant decrease in diameter (c) and circumferential cyclic strain (e) in modified iliac arteries compared to standard PPE arteries and contralateral control iliac arteries. We did not, however, see significant changes in iliac artery velocity between standard and modified PPE groups at day 56 (d). Suture placement is highlighted by the white arrow and diameter measurement locations are shown by blue lines. Statistical significance is shown as p < 0.001 (α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ). Symbols α, β, γ signify statistical significance between their respective group and the standard, modified control, and modified partial ligation groups in the proximal iliac artery.
