Figure 2 Histologic Sections of the Iliac Arteries 42 Days After Stent Implantation and Bar Graph of Percent Stenosis

(A to C) Sections show low-power (20x, top) and high-power (100/200x, bottom) magnification following Movat Pentachrome staining. Percent stent stenosis is much greater in the control group (A) as compared with prednisone-treated animals (B) and Taxus stents (C). (D) The bar graph shows a significant reduction between the control group and prednisone-treated rabbits (–30%) and Taxus stents (–34%).
