Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of short-term chemotherapy on the compliance of rabbit abdominal aorta, and understand the changes in the biomechanical properties of the blood vessels after chemotherapy.
Methods: Fifteen rabbits were divided into 5 groups, 4 of which were subjected to injection with chemotherapeutic agents for 5 days to evaluate the compliance of the abdominal aorta at 2, 7, 14, and 21 days after the therapy with the other group without chemotherapy serving as the control.
Results: The compliance of the abdominal aorta was obviously decreased after chemotherapy and reached the lowest level 14 days after short-term chemotherapy, suggesting that the drugs resulted in vascular injury enough to alter the biomechanical properties of the blood vessels.
Conclusion: Short-term chemotherapy can decrease the compliance of the blood vessels, which may deteriorate with time but such changes can be reversible.
