a OCT images showing neointimal degrees 2 weeks after stent transplantation. BMS bare material stent, U-M human U-M-coated stent, HGF/U-M stent coated with HGF/U-Ms, VEGF/U-M stent coated with VEGF/U-Ms. b OCT analysis showing neointimal areas in mm2 and in % units. c The microCT results were analyzed at a 50 kV/200 μA spatial resolution with 17-μm units to show the surface smoothness and neointima areas.
