  1. mPAP mean pulmonary arterial pressure, WA/TA Vessel wall area/total area
  2. aindicated that mPAP and WA/TA in the experimental group compared to sham operation group (P < 0.05, respectively) in the 1-, 2-, and 4-week subgroups.
  3. bindicated that the mPAP in the 4-week subgroup compared to 1-week subgroup (P <0.05) and 2-week subgroup (P >0.05) in the experimental group.
  4. cindicated that the WA/TA in the 4-week subgroup compared to 1-week subgroup (P >0.05) and 2-week subgroup (P >0.05) in the experimental group.
  5. dindicated that the mPAP and WA/TA in the 2-week subgroup compared to 1-week subgroup (P >0.05, respectively) in the experimental group
