Fig 6 — U-shaped BVMs were cultivated for 14 days. At the 14-day time point, (A) a control U-shaped BVM was left un-stented, while (B) a coronary stent was deployed in another U-shaped BVM. The BVMs were further cultivated for three days. Finally, fluorescent BBI images of the luminal surface of the BVMs were acquired to assess the cellular lining. (C) The control BVM exhibited a cellular lining, while (D) the stented BVM did not exhibit a cellular lining in the stented region. (E) The stented BVM was cut open and it was observed that proper placement and deployment had occurred.
