Neointima

Neointima typically refers to scar tissue that forms within tubular anatomical structures such as blood vessels, as the intima is the innermost lining of these structures. Neointima can form as a result of vascular surgery such as angioplasty or stent placement.[1] Formation of neointima occurs due to proliferation of smooth muscle cells[2] as well as macrophages. [1]
