Stent struts have the macroscopic appearance of being not covered by tissue at five days after placement (panel A: angioscopic grade 0). Histology shows complete coverage by tissue (B), while scanning electron microscopy shows that the struts are covered by leaky endothelium (C) and that the vessels between the struts are completely endothelialised (D) (Modified from references 14 and 15).
