Lumen (μm) | Thickness (μm) | Lumen (μm) | Thickness (μm) | |
Normal | 72.5 (69.9–75.9) | 73.1 (70.2–77.3) | 91.9 (84.2–94.6) | 79.9 (77.5–87.1) |
Untreated | 33.3 (29.9–37.7) | 146.7 (108.8–192.7) | 61.8 (54.3–64.1) | 110.0 (101.5–137.9) |
Oral PPS | 75.1*(70.1–78.1) | 91.8* (86.7–95.9) | 85.3* (79.7–89.1) | 91.1* (89.1–93.2) |
