The in vivo aortic angiography showing no acute and late thrombogenesis as well as in-stent restenosis in the (a) JDBM-2 and (c) 316L stainless steel stent after stenting for 1 month, 2 months, 4 months and 6 months (from left to right). The corresponding follow-up IVUS images illustrating the longitudinal reconstruction of the abdominal aorta after the (b) JDBM-2 and (d) 316L stainless steel stent implantation. Note increased lumen patency and vessel size at different implantation period with nearly complete absence of neointimal hyperplasia.
