Neointima typically refers to scar tissue that forms within tubular anatomical structures such as blood vessels, as the intima is the innermost lining of these structures.
Neointima can form as a result of vascular surgery such as angioplasty or stent placement.
[1] Formation of neointima occurs due to proliferation of smooth muscle cells[2] as well as macrophages.
