Vascular abnormalities are the major contributor to the progression of diabetes and its associated complications [ 1].
Among PV and ET patients, the major symptoms are associated with hypertension or vascular abnormalities, including an increased risk for thromboembolismand hemorrhage [ 9, 10].
Anyway, genetic ablation of the integrin α5 β1, the major fibronectin-binding integrin, leads to severe vascular abnormalities [ 10] indicating that this integrin may play an even more important role than the integrin α v β3 in neovascularisation.

However, patients in these series were predominantly undergoing major vascular surgery and had documented wall motion abnormalities on dobutamine stress ECHO, and, therefore, could possibly be considered higher risk than patients in the POISE study.
Individuals with diabetes with early retinal arteriolar abnormalities are more likely to have DPN, independent of hyperglycemia and major vascular risk factors.
In mice, homozygous deletion of VHL is embryonic lethal due to vascular abnormalities in the placenta; and, VHL+/− mice develop proliferative vascular lesions in several major organs, most prominently the liver.
His vascular abnormalities could also impair the circulation of the lethal drug – leading to a prolonged and excruciating execution".
But the first handful of patients had suspected or confirmed major vascular injuries.
