Volume rendered peak systolic blood flow velocity magnitude at four time points for a representative rabbit in each group. Results are shown for the Control group (a; top) as compared to permanent coarctation of the aorta (CoA; first row) with severities of CoA ≤ 10 mmHg BPGpp (b), CoA 10–20 mmHg BPGpp (c), and CoA ≥ 20 mmHg BPGpp (d); Dissolvable CoA (dCoA; second row) with severities of dCoA ≤ 10 mmHg BPGpp (e), dCoA 10–20 mmHg BPGpp (f), dCoA ≥ 20 mmHg BPGpp (g); and Rapid dissolvable (RdCoA; bottom row) with severities of RdCoA ≤ 10 mmHg BPGpp (h), RdCoA 10–20 mmHg BPGpp (i), RdCoA ≥ 20 mmHg BPGpp (j). The time points shown for each group represent ages at ~ 1 (TP-1), 3 (TP-2), 10 (TP-3), and 20 weeks (TP-4) after surgery.
