Figure 5.

Histopathological analysis of the biological response after biodegradable flow diverter placement. Each dot represents the data per each slide. A, No significant difference was observed in reendothelialization at various time points. B, Although the inflammatory response seemed to decrease over time, the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.24). C, Cell proliferation at 1 to 3 months after implantation is greater than that at 6 to 12 months after implantation (linear mixed effect model). The box plots show the median, the quartiles, and the range (bar=200 μm). DAPI indicates 4’,6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole; α‐SMA, α‐smooth muscle actin. *P<0.05.
