Effects of laser needle-knife therapy on vertebroarterial morphology and protein expression of PI-3K, AKT and VEGF in the carotid artery in a rabbit model of cervical spondylotic arteriopathy

Purpose: To explore how the use of a laser needle-knife affects vertebroarterial morphology and protein expression of PI-3K, AKT and VEGF in the carotid artery of a rabbit model of cervical spondylotic arteriopathy (CSA), and to determine its primary treatment mechanism. Methods: The CSA rabbit mode...
