Figure 4 High-Magnification Microscopic Images of Sections From 1- and 3-Month Samples
High-magnification microscopic images of hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections from pig coronary arteries fixed 1 and 3 months after stent implant. Note thin neointima with some residual fibrin deposits, but no media necrosis for the paclitaxel-eluting stent at 1 month and well-healed arterial wall response for this stent at 3 months. BMS = bare-metal stent.
