Abstract
The microstructure of the low-porosity covered stents did not provide a suitable surface for neointimal attachment and did not reduce neointimal growth compared to that with the control stents. The microstructure of the medium- and high-porosity covered stents yielded less neointimal growth than both the control stents and the low-porosity covered stents without evidence of neointimal dehiscence. The authors believe that covered stents made with ePTFE with either medium or high porosity could limit restenosis in humans compared to that with bare stents.
