FIG 7. Histologic findings of the vessel segments treated with gold stents. Histopathologic examination confirms the angiographic findings. The lumen of the stented artery is quite patent. Some endothelial hypertrophy is recognized around the struts of the stent (arrowhead). There are also artifacts in that the struts of the stent separate from the intima at the time of extraction (arrows).
