Figure 7

The Endothelialization and restenosis of GCC stents. (A) Complete neointima is generated at 4 weeks after implanting 316L SS and GCC stents. Blood components (yellow arrow) adhered and fibrous tissue-like materials (red arrow) appeared on the surface of 316L SS stents. The endothelial cells in GCC exhibited cobblestone-like (purple coils) re-arrangement following the direction of blood flow (purple arrow) at 4 and 12 weeks after stent implantation, respectively. (B) GCC inhibits intimal hyperplasia and the generation of neointima (S, stent; N, neointima; L, lumen; M, media). (C) The cells in intima and media are disordered and elastic plate is not clear or lacking at the distal and proximal sites after implanting 316L SS but not GCC stents
