Abstract

The purpose of this study is to observe angiogenesis in vivo under application of electric stimulations. We developed an implantable device equipped with a CMOS-camera and electrodes for real-time observation. The device was implanted under the skin of a goat, and applied the electric stimulations for 60 days. The electric stimulations were applied with a 60 kHz sinusoidal waveform and a current density of 300 uA/mm2. Angiogenesis occurred in 94.7um/day in the non-stimulated device, while no angiogenesis was observed in the device without stimulation. These results show that electric stimulations of this condition are effective for suppressing angiogenesis.
