A Novel Stent Coated with Antibodies to Endoglin Inhibits Neointimal Formation of Porcine Coronary Arteries

Figure 1

Histomorphometric analysis. Representative photos of haematoxylin-and-eosin-stained cross sections of arteries at 7 ((a), top panels) and 14 days ((b), top panels) after stent implantation (magnification, ×40). Bar graphs show mean neointima area ((a) and (b), bottom panels) and percent area stenosis (c) of stented arteries. Data represent the mean ± SEM (𝑛=15). ^∗𝑃<0.05 versus BMSs. BMSs: bare metal stents; SESs: sirolimus-eluting stents; and ENDs: endoglin antibody. Arrow indicated neointima.
