Figure 5

Drug concentration map in a plane of two abluminally apposed struts in different cases where (A) proximal (B) distal and (C) both stents are eluting drug. Values are given relative to the drug concentration on the stent surface. W and L stand for the wall and lumen region, respectively. Arterial drug uptake is considerably higher when both stents elute drug. (D) Plots of drug concentration on the mural surface and bellow two apposed overlapping struts, as defined in the inset. Line 1 and 2 are located on mural surface and inside arterial wall (half-width of strut width bellow) of apposed overlapping struts, respectively.
