Pathology of the arterial wall after stent implantation: macroscopical and histological findings after interventional therapy in iliac and femoral arteries
open access
Abstract
A smouldering inflammation in the area surrounding the filaments, the appearance of a proliferating neointima, the proof of a neoendothelium and a differing reaction to the stent depending on the varying quality of the arterial wall in contact were part of the findings. The clinical consequences are also discussed.
