Figure 2 Line chart comparing the percentage of endothelialization in drug-eluting stents (DES) versus bare-metal stents (BMS) as a function of time. Note that DES (solid line) consistently show less endothelialization compared with BMS (dashed line) regardless of time point. Even beyond 40 months DES are not fully endothelialized, whereas BMS are completely covered by 6 to 7 months.
