Surface characterization of explanted endovascular stent following 30-minute deployment in a rat carotid artery. Representative scanning electron micrographs of the surface of bare metal stents or stents coated with thiolated pepCD47. Images show large fibrin deposition and trapped cells on the unmodified stents surface. In contrast pepCD47 stents exhibited less fibrin on the surface and the attached cells appeared to be more rounded and less spread. Scale Bar = 30 μm (2000X) and 10 μm (5000X)
