　　Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is an effective noninvasive treatment of coronary artery disease.Its mechanism of action remains unknown.An acute coronary occlusion dog model was created to explore the angiogenic effect of EECP.After coronary occlusion,12 dogs were randomly assigned to either EECP (n =6) or control (n =6).Immunohistochemical studies of alpha-actin and von Willebrand factor (vWF) were used to detect newly developed microvessels.
