Safety and feasibility of arterial wall targeting with robot-assisted high intensity focused ultrasound: a preclinical study.

CONCLUSION: HIFU/DMUA therapy successfully targeted the vessel walls of healthy porcine arteries, without causing endothelial damage or other vascular complications. Therefore, this therapy can be safely applied to healthy arterial walls in animals. Future studies should focus on safety and dose-finding in atherosclerotic diseased arteries.
