Background Recent studies have suggested that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) may have synergistic effects on the induction of angiogenesis in vitro, Therefore, we investigated the hypothesis that the simultaneous administration of VEGF and bFGF, each having been previously shown to independently enhance collateral development in an animal model of hind limb ischemia, could have a synergistic effect in vivo.Methods and Results Ten days after surgical induction of unilateral hind limb ischemia, New Zealand White rabbits were randomized to receive either VEGF 500 mu g alone (n=6), bFGF 10 mu g alone (n=7), VEGF 500 mu g, immediately followed by 10 mu g bFGF (n=7), or vehicle only (control animals, n=8) in each case administered intra-arterially via a catheter in the internal iliac artery of the ischemic limb. BP ratio (BPR, ischemic/healthy limb) at day 10 for the VEGF+bFGF group was 0.82+/-0.01, much superior (P
