Abstract
Methods of evaluating treatments for vascular disease are described. The treatments can include administration of pharmaceutical, chemical, or biological agents. Vascular tissue is removed from a first site in a vascular lumen and optionally analyzed. A treatment is administered to the patient, followed by removal of a second portion of vascular tissue from a second site. The vascular tissue from both the first and second site are compared to learn the effect of the treatment. Treatments can include placement of prosthetic devices such as stents in the lumen. Whether or not the vascular tissue recurs at a site after removal can be monitored as a measure of the success of a given treatment.
