Figure 1 Microsphere-Based Assessment of Collateral Conductance

Implantation of transforming growth factor (TGF)-ß1–eluting stents resulted in a significant increase in collateral conductance compared with animals receiving a bolus infusion of TGF-ß1 (bolus), a bare-metal stent (BMS), or a stent coated with the polymer only (PDLLA).
