Methods for inhibiting intimal hyperplasia in the vasculature of mammals, including primates, are disclosed. The methods comprise administering to the mammal an anti-PDGF receptor antibody, such as an anti-PDGF-alpha receptor antibody or an anti-PDGF-beta receptor antibody. The methods are useful in reducing intimal hyperplasia due to, for example, vascular injuries resulting from angioplasty, endarterectomy, reduction atherectomy or anastomosis of a vascular graft. The anti-PDGF receptor antibodies may optionally be administered coordinately with heparin, whereby the coordinately administered antibody and heparin are combinatorially effective in inhibiting intimal hyperplasia. |
