After 4 weeks, Doppler ultrasound was used to examine the patency of the stent, and then the stent was subjected to Masson and Von Kossa staining to show the ECM structure and calcification. Macrophage markers (CD68, iNOS, and CD206), endothelial cell markers (CD31 and vWF), interstitial cell marker (vimentin), and type I collagen staining were used to evaluate the inflammation, cellularization, and remodeling of the implanted stent, respectively.
