The Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Anacardic Acid on a TNF-alpha Induced Human Saphenous Vein Endothelial Cell Culture Model

Abstract

Background and Objective: Coronary bypass operations are commonly performed for the treatment of ischemic heart diseases. Coronary artery bypass surgery with autologous human saphenous vein maintains its importance as a commonly used therapy for advanced atherosclerosis. Vascular inflammation-related intimal hyperplasia and atherosclerotic progress have major roles in the pathogenesis of saphenous vein graft disease.
